    Can't get next/previous file keyboard shortcut when editing tags on Mac

    Hi

    I've finally upgraded from 17.7 to the latest version, and was looking forward to using the new keyboard shortcuts to move between files when editing tags - the release notes from a while back mention cmd+shift+left/right to move to previous/next file.

    Unfortunately these 2 shortcuts don't seem to be working for me - is there anything I can check? I'm using latest dBpoweramp on latest version of Mac OS. Hopefully I can get this working, as my workflow is now slower due to having to click the drop down at the top of the Edit Tags window, then a second click to choose the next file, whereas in 17.7 I could leave my mouse cursor hovering over the left/right icons and easily move between files with a single click when alternating between keyboard and mouse.

    Is anyone else seeing this issue, or is it just me? Thanks!

    This worked prior to Edit ID Tags dialog redesign, when buttons were used to cycle between files.
    This functionality was indeed lost with the redesign, I'll look into restoring it.

      Thanks - that would be much appreciated. I wasn't sure if it was due to that combination of keys normally being used to select to the start/end of a text entry box on a lot of Mac apps, but it's good to know there's a chance of the functionality returning at some point. Thanks again.

        Proposed fix in beta build:

        Please test. I had to implement it differently than before, as Edit ID Tags window no longer has buttons for these actions, I added "Navigate" main menu with commands that work in Edit ID Tags window.

          That's fantastic - thank you so much for the fast turnaround and resolution. Works perfectly for me (and nice idea to add the additional option for Select All too).

          Editing/checking my tags is now even quicker than it was in my original 17.7 version, as I no longer need to swap between keyboard and mouse.

          Thanks again for adding this so quickly.
