Keyboard shortcuts (spacebar) no longer works in Photos on Mojave
Until recently, pressing spacebar toggled expanding my photos in Photos, and single keys provided a way to edit photos (e.g. C for crop). None of these features now work for me.
How do I restore keyboard shortcuts in Photos?
Since MacOS Mojave, Photos have changed shortcuts. I used Space key very extensively, so made work again (link):
- Go to preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > app shortcuts > Photos > and add a shortcut.
- For Menu Title enter "Open Viewer" and for the keyboard shortcut press the spacebar whilst holding the Fn key.
- Add another one for "Close Viewer"
- Add another one for "Open/Close Viewer"
- Now open Photos, go to Library/Photos, select single photo and click on menu "Image" - check if Open Viewer shows "Space"
- Press Spacebar and enjoy :)
Also few useful shortcuts:
- cmd+Enter - edit mode
- cmd+1 - in edit mode Adjust
- cmd+3 - in edit mode Crop
- . - make photo favorite
Also check cmd+1-4 and ctrl+1-6 in photos view mode :)
And desert: All Photos keyboard shortcuts for Mojave
This is fixed in macOS 10.14.4 (Photo 4.0): spacebar now opens images and keyboard shortcuts work for editing.
