    Anybody else experience their hotkeys not working since the latest install? I have tried all Profiles and nothing. Also noticed the ‘Help’ is gone from the pulldown menus.

    I’ve been holding off on installing the update @ChrisRiley after @troy-degroot ‘s post about issues with the 20.2.80 update. Now you’ve given me another reason to hold off! Thank you for the heads up.

    Did you try hitting the “F1” key to bring up the help menu? That works in 20.2.70…

    Have you had any luck restoring this functionality @ChrisRiley ?

      I still periodically have my hotkeys going south, not sure what is causing it. Sometimes I go days or weeks and it hits me. I am just living with it for now, I can still get commands to work from the menus, just the hotkeys are an issue. No a show stopper, just an inconvienence.

        That sounds incredibly frustrating @ChrisRiley , have you reported the issue to Bluebeam?

    Sadly, I’m still holding off upgrading from 20.2.70. I don’t use very many hotkeys because my students basically never see my keyboard, but I have noticed over several versions the basic shortcuts don’t work. “G” for snapshot is one I use a lot because it’s so deep in the menu.

    The help menu disappearing seems like a show-stopper for me. I go through all the menus in my Baseline Basics course and hate it when I run into surprises.

      I use the ‘R’ hotkey quite a bit for highlighting and it seems to go south periodically. I can still grab the menu button so it doesn’t slow me down to much.

        That’s a good hotkey to know @ChrisRiley – I have my “Rectangle” tool preset to a borderless yellow highlight. Using the “R” hotkey to launch the tool will be a nice timesaver.

    @ChrisRiley If your main tool is just a rectangle highlighter you could create that and save it to My Tools. this way it will apply a number shortcut key for you.
