Group pictures CTRL G Shortcut does not work

[alexanderm33105202]

     Instead of grouping the selected pics in Library view the Preferences Window pops up. I never ever changed any shortcut and nor did I customize PS and LR for other shortcuts!

this is anoying!

Hi alexanderm,

Sorry to hear that. Could you please let us know the exact version of Lightroom Classic CC you are using now?

We have tested this shortcut at our and its working fine for stacking the images. CTRL+G

You may try resetting the Lightroom preferences back to defaults and check if that helps.

Hi Mohit,

it's only a problem in the German version of Lightroom. There's a bug in the file TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt.

Hi Axel,

Yes, I am aware of it but the user didn't mentioned that he's working in a German version.

But thanks for the drilling down the user query.

Regards,

Ctrl + g works fine here. Win 7 LR 7.4, Logitech  solar wireless keyboard.

I think you'll work with an German version of Lightroom.

LR 7.4 broke the keyboard shortcut for Group Into Stack for German. For previous versions, it was assigned to Cmd/Ctrl+G. But in 7.4, Preferences is also assigned to Cmd+G (Preferences was previously assigned to Cmd+W).

The workaround (and Adobe's fix) is to change this line in TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt:

"$$$/Application/Menu/Edit/Preferences/KeyWin=Cmd+g"

back to the original:

"$$$/Application/Menu/Edit/Preferences/KeyWin=Cmd+W"

The full informations you'll find here: Lightroom: German keyboard shortcut for Group Into Stack broken | Photoshop Family Customer Communit...

(LR 7.4 makes no other assignments to Cmd+W.)  See this article for editing TranslatingStrings:

yes I am working with a German version

and I will keep working with a german Version!

[AxelMatt]

You can keep working with the German version, it's no problem.

You have only change on line in the file TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt as decribed in my answer.

I've had the same problem. After changing the .txt - file it's working.
