Lightroom on macOS is flaky about accepting ⌘⇧E as a keyboard shortcut for `Export…` #139

Open lgarron opened 1 year ago

This is for Adobe Lightroom (CC) from the Mac App Store (com.adobe.mas.lightroomCC).

  1. Set the keyboard shortcut for Export… to ⌘⇧E
  2. Set the keyboard shortcut for Edit in Photoshop… to ⌘⇧P (to avoid a conflict).
  3. Open Lightroom, select an image, and try to use ⌘⇧E

The first few times I press ⌘⇧E, it just straight-up doesn't work, and I get a small OS error beep as if it was an invalid shortcut. After a bit of using the app (e.g. going to "Edit" view and/or back for an image[^1]), it usually starts working, and then keeps working until I switch to another app, at which point the problem consistently returns when I switch back to Lightroom.

I've never had an issue swapping out keyboard shortcuts like this, for any other app. But older versions of Lightroom were also really finicky about shortcuts in general, so I'm inclined to guess this is a problem due to an assumption in Adobe's code. This wouldn't really surprise me, given what kinds of shenanigans apps can pull with menus: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=429371

[^1]: This issue can definitely happen both in the "Edit" view and also with photos selected in the "Photo Grid" view. It's not just restricted to a particular view.
