    LOL, I just submitted a support request with that exact question! I have the exact same problem. I'll let you know if I hear anything back from C1

    I'm using a keyboard shortcut for readouts with v21. No issues. Should work just as in previous versions.

    Thanks, Michael. Add color readout works fine, but View Color Readouts does not. I can enter a value into the field, but when I move to another field, the view color readout field resets to blank.

    Yes, thank you Michael but I guess I should've been more clear.  Jonathan and I are looking for a fix to "view" Color Readouts.  I use them quite a bit and I'm tired of always "mousing" up to the menu when I want to turn them on and off.

    You can set up (In V20 - I don't think it changed in 21) a shortcut combination that does the same thing as the "Always show color readouts" in the Pickers tools drop down menu. An on/off toggle.

    If you are still actively using the Color Pickers they will not disappear but if you have a different tool selected they pickers will disappear when you next click on the image - i.e. activate another action.

    It's not necessarily intuitive as it stands but does work. Or at least it does using Win 10.

    I would be surprised if it works on with Windows but not with Mac   - but I suppose anything its possible.

    I just received a response from C1 support, who confirms that it is a bug
