'Lock' hotkey is not functional in SketchUp Web

‘Lock’ hotkey is not functional, however the hotkey for ‘Unlock Selected’ works as expected.

As far as I see, nobody mentioned this in the forums. Am i the only weirdo here who wants to lock objects with a hotkey? :slight_smile:

I’m using Mac. Both in Safari and Chrome, the same problem occurs. Desktop app works fine.

What keyboard shortcut did you set for Lock? By default there is no assigned shortcut for it.

Are you selecting a group or component to lock?

Currently it’s set to ‘L’ key, but it doesnt work with any other key either.

Group or component doesn’t make a difference, both behave the same. But of course if I select from the context menu, it works.

By Default L is for the Line tool.

Now that you’ve clarified, I tested and see the same thing.

Yeah, I try to assign shortcuts to the reach of my left hand, so my right hand can mostly stay on trackpad. That’s why my hotkey preferences generally don’t match the defaults.

Is there a dedicated place to report this? Or is this post considered as a bug report already?

This should get the thing reported.

Not anymore, it’s another of the shortcuts that don’t work currently.

The Line tool hotkey works for me, no matter which key i assign.

Yes but it’s not set to L by default.

Interesting, I signed in from another account to see what happens when resetting shortcuts, and it’s set to ‘L’ by default. Can it be the issue of your browser?

it is, language and browser kinda break everything in the web version.

using sketchup in french still expects me to press the keys as if I was on an american layout. stuff like that.

Oh well I only mentioned it here as I thought someone might have been coming to look at shortcut bugs.
It is the default in Edge but not Firefox as you see here,


Nor is it the default in the desktop version of 2024 or 2025, at least for me, it is in 2017. The only 3 I have on this PC.
It doesn’t show as having an assigned shortcut and I would never have removed it, changed it perhaps but not removed.

As I say, only mentioned it as another anomaly to add to other peoples shortcut issues.

In my case, Line tool hotkey is emptied only if I assign ‘L’ to another tool. Otherwise, every time I reset the shortcuts, the Line tool is set to ‘L’ again. (tried in Firefox also)

It seems the developers need to verify the consistency of hotkeys across all major browsers and operating systems. As @ateliernab mentioned, language preferences may also contribute to these issues.
