Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from

until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/can-t-find-a-reject-shortcut-option.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

Sorry, it’s probably silly, but I’ve been searching for way to set a reject shortcut in the interface, and in the shortcutsrc file, can’t find it
Can someone give me a pointer ?
Thanks a lot

Hey Marco,
by default R will be the shortcut for reject. You can find all the shortcuts via Help > Table of key shortcuts
If you want to change it, you can do so in Edit > Preferences > Shortcuts. However you need to search for rating in the search action list as reject is listed as an element(?) of rating. You will end up in the section Views > Thumbtable > Rating

Ok, found it. “element” wasn’t set to reject for this one. I suppose I messed up when trying to find why the usual R didn’t work. Now it’s fixed, thanks
