Interface: a question and one annoyance
The question:
The behavior of the arrow keys is different between my desktop and laptop installations.
On the laptop the arrow keys advance to the next (or previous) image. On my desktop I need to press the command key in conjunction with the arrow keys. Is there a setting to adjust that behavior?
The annoyance:
Sometimes, when shifting between modules, the cursor will default to one of the text boxes in that module (for example, the White Balance or Exposure text boxes.) So when try to use a keyboard shortcut to change tools or hit a number key to change rating, etc. it will either change the value of the text box the cursor is in or won't change tools.
Is that something that be changed or fixed? Does this bother anyone else?

I can say something about the question but not about the annoyance.
You can edit keyboard shortcuts. On the Capture One menu, choose Edit Keyboard shortcuts... In the longish list in the Edit section you'll see entries for Select previous and select next. The default is Cmd+left or right arrow. Compare the entries there in your two installations. It may be that in one installation it has been changed to just left or right arrow. You could change them to be the same.

This is just a guess because I only use C1 on a laptop, but the arrow key (without Cmd-key) only works when the browser has "keyboard focus". I.e., when you click on a picture in the browser. When something else has focus, you have to use Cmd-arrow. So, when you click a picture in the browser, you can use the arrow keys, but if you then say, enter some value in a tool, the keyboard focus is no longer on the browser and you have to use the Cmd-Arrow keys.
Unfortunately, you don't see the difference; normally a window that has keyboard focus shows it's selection differently, but the browser doesn't.
Maybe you have a slightly different way of working on the laptop given the smaller screen estate?[quote="PhilBond" wrote:

Sorry, haven't seen this. (I assume that with "modules" (LR speak?) you refer to the tools? How do you shift? By clicking or by shortcut key?

Yes, I suppose that is LR speak. By "modules" I mean to say the different tool tabs (if that's the correct C1 terminology).
But I actually was incorrect about when the issue seems to occur.
My browser is set to auto (flies out from the left). After I select an image in the browser, move my cursor back to the main workspace (so that the browser hides again) the focus seems to go to the top most text box in the tool panel on the left.
Is this normal behavior?0 -

No, it isn't.
I can confirm your reported behaviour when the browser is set to auto-mode. It's working as expected when it's in manual mode.
