Kerning shortcut

[JackFlash_Photography]

On a PC, using "ALT" + left or right arrow keys have not worked for over a year now, just typing in the numbers in the kerning, which is a pain. Am I missing something?

Have you checked the Keyboard shortcuts dialog to make sure the shortcuts are still set to that?

Thanks a bunch, I just tired but seem to have trouble understanding how to set it up, even after reading this.. .https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/customizing-shortcuts.html

I've figured out how to add shortcuts, but the kerning is still not working, even after rebooting PP. Please see screengrab

Sometimes Windows interferes with the Alt-something keyboard shortcuts. Try remapping to say Alt-Shift-something and see if it works.

Thanks Neil. I tried it and it worked, and this is going to sound weird, but when I popped back in to try it again, it didn't work. Rebooted PP and still not working, but it did work on the first go. Ug

Weird. Delete all your cache/media cache database files, and maybe after that, try Trash Preferences which is a bit of a pain but often works.

Thanks again Neil. I tried all that, reset the short cut to the one that worked temporarily but kerning still not working.

Huh. Wonder what the hay ...

Is the kerning shortcut working for you? I'm on Windows 10 and back down to 14.0.4 after a bunch of glitches on the latest release. So weird it worked for a bit, then nothing.

Kerning was working perfectly fine here till I tried to help you! lol ...

I did a number of things with it this afternoon, no problems. And a few minutes ago, went back to test again ... zip, nada, nothing moving whatever.

 Consider the issue confirmed. If you haven't filed a report on the UserVoice system by the time I check in tomorrow, I will. Not good behavior.

Thanks Neil, and sorry this became an issue for you as well. Someone reported back in 2018 thru UserVoice, the same time it stopped working for me, but it seems like it's still an issue for anyone. Posting in that some thread and voting it up.

I haven't had an issue with kerning shortcuts ... and they've only been usable in the EGP technically since last April. I've used them regularly. So ... weird.
