Resizing shortcut keys no longer work

[Lry]

For years I have used CTRL+SHIFT+R to open the resize canvas dialog box. It no longer works. NOTHING. I, now, have to go to the IMAGE area of the menu bar and drop it down to access the canvas dialog. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

Ctrl+Shift+R still opens the Canvas Resize box for me.

Ctrl+R still opens the Resize box for me.

 

Where is your mouse cursor when you press these keys?

[Lry]

It makes no difference.... anyplace in the window ... still nothing. General resize [CTRL+R] and all other shortcuts work, just not the canvas resize.

Try Windows Update and Reboot.

It's working fine for me too.

 

@Lry are you using the latest version of paint.net?

Try swapping out your keyboard to confirm it is Ok.

 

Do you have any keyboard macros or third party keyboard apps installed?

Keyboard shortcuts don't work if your keyboard is set to a language that uses non-Latin characters, like Greek, Cyrilic, Arabic, Hebrew etc.

I'm not sure about that. The Russian-language keyboard serves Ctrl+Shift+R and Ctrl+R without problems.

[Djisves]

It could be a coincidence. Try some other menu shortcuts and see.

The ones I use most often and always have trouble with are the Move tools (M, MM) and the Selection tools (S, SS etc.).

The problem exists only with the Tools. In other cases, the keyboard shortcuts work correctly.

I don't know how, or if,  the problem is permanently fixed, but the resize shortcut is working again... perhaps was corrected in one of the updates.

for me the ctrl+r and shift+ctrl+r would randomly stop working and i would need to restart the app to get it to work again.
but now the resize hotkeys have completely stopped working for paint.net as of V5.10.8674.32967

 

manually selecting the resize from the drop down menu still works

 

on windows 11 - non win store version

Sorry, but that is gibberish.

 

Paint.NET is working correctly. So, there must be something else getting in the way--either some keyboard manager is redefining Ctrl+R or there is a problem with Windows or your keyboard is failing.

 

1. If your keyboard is wireless, check the battery.

2. Try https://keyboardchecker.com/ to see if your keys are working

3. Apply any pending Windows Updates

4. Reboot
