What happened to pressing 'd' to make your swatches black and white in Photoshop?

As it says in the title really. 

 

Probably being a bit dim here but a feature I always found helpful and used a lot was pressing 'd' on the keyboard in older versions of photoshop, and my colours I was using would revert back to black and white. I recently updated to Adobe Photoshop 2020 (on my mac) and it seems this feature has been disabled, and I can't find how to get it back? It was always just really helpful- not the end of the world but I love any keyboard shortcuts to speed things up and this was one I used very regularly. 

 

Thanks!

Still works here. You can check the Shortcut setting in Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools

Shortcut D for default swatches is not disabled in latest Photoshop, it still works as it use to. I am testing and using every day that shortcut. Although I am on Win machine I haven't heard that someone has problem on Mac machine. Do you have any problem with D key? The last thing, if nothing works is to try with preference reset but be aware that any unsaved preset and action should be saved prior reseting user preferences.

Hello, that shortcut has not changed in CC2020. Are you sure that your keyboard shortcuts are set as the default?

Can you check if D is selected for default foreground/background in the Tools section of Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts?

Do you have a brush selected?

Hi

One reason "D" may not be working is that your cursor is in another field. In this screenshot, my Opacity field is active and the "D" shortcut fails. Try pressing Escape to exit any field or feature, then try "D" again to see if it works.
