shortcut ctrl+shift+U (desaturate) not working

[fernandos74754501]

Adobe Photoshop Version: 20.0.4 20190227.r.76 2019/02/27: 1205725  x64

The unsettling shortcut Ctrl + Shift + U does not work, the desaturate function only works via "image> adjutments> desaturate"

Try to check your shortcut options. Maybe you can see if this shortcut is really there. This is also very helpful to set your own shortcuts.

Edit > Keyboard shortcuts.

Hello!

In "Edit> Keyboard shortcuts", the shortcut "ctrl + shift + U" is defined for desaturate...!.

Thank you!

Another thing that can break shortcut is input language, check that although for me Ctrl + Shift + U works with Serbian set as input language. Change input language to English if its not and see if that helps.

  I use the international English language, also I already used English (North-America). This situation is recent, I believe it is verified in the next edition of Photoshop.

Thank you!

I solved the error by assigning a new shortcut and then returning to the default shortcut

I was looking at photoshop and it just works if you're working with a rasterized layer.

On smart objects it doesn't works. Is that the case?

Maybe you can try to create an action (using "ctrl+u"), desature your image and set a shortcut to this action. But I think you won't be able to use the same command ("ctrl+u"), cause default shortcuts to actions are with F keys.
