Ctrl+Numpad keys to change colors in Viewer - vs. - Ctrl+Numpad keys to set Rating in Browser.

It's not a real conflict, but it might be confusing and rating shortcuts would be useful also in viewer/fullscreen - and also due to other problem, I suggest following shortcuts:

Ctrl+Numpad for Rating
Alt+Numpad for Color label
Shift+Numpad for colors change (brightness/contrast/gamma)

All should work in all modes if possible. For v1.90 they could be change at least for the current modes - changing it later would be harder, since users will be using Ctrl+Numpad for both actions...

Why not to keep Ctrl+alt?
And i have a problem Shift+numpad don't work...

Wahtever you decide in the end it would be a great help if you could choose any keyboard combination without the numpad. On some laptops (like mine) you always have to activate the numpad by pressing the FN-key as well, which makes it rather complicated. The color tags with ctrl+alt+numpad aren't working anyway, this at least goes for my Toshiba notebook.

I think it would be clearer and more handy if you will use a single shortcut (2 key shortcut) for rating and color label and other for colors - and - if you will use different shortcuts for colors and different for rating / color label.

If you can't use Shift+ then...

Ctrl+Numpad for Rating
Alt+Numpad for Color label
Ctrl+Alt+Numpad for colors change (brightness/contrast/gamma)

It's important also because it will be easier implement rating also to viewer/fullscreen, I think users will ask for it sooner or later and if you will use the same shortcuts for 2 different features, it will be harder.

@Birdman - of course, there is a workaround, watch the FAQ section, there will be a guide for custom keyboard shortcuts soon...

I can't all Alt+numpad are used for 'open with'

But also Alt+standard numbers shorctuts are used for 'open with', so are they needed also for Alt+numpad?

I think discussion is needed, there are too many similar "multi" shortcuts...

There are no free/usable shortcuts, another discussion si needed, so closing this one.
