Walkthrough
⌘ is Command, ⌥ is Option, and ⇧ is Shift. Photo shortcuts apply when the workspace owns focus. They pause while you edit text, use focused controls, or work in a dialog. Command-A keeps its normal Select All behavior in text fields.

Move Earlier/Later works when all selected photos belong to one group or to Ungrouped. Each selected run moves one position while keeping its internal order. Moves stop at section boundaries, never cross groups, and each successful invocation is one undo step. In All Photos, Select All also includes photos in collapsed groups. In one room, it selects only that room’s photos.
