How do you set it up again so that if you reject photos in the library with the X key, you will immediately go to the next photo. TIA

Set caps lock.

 

[John R Ellis]

...or check the Library menu item Photo > Auto Advance,

Or hold down Shift and press X.

Another option is to set the Library Filter to Unpicked and Picked. As soon as you reject a photo, it's hidden.

Another hint:
Keep the left hand four fingers hovered over the four keys [Tilde] [1] [2] [3].
The [Tilde] key will toggle Flag Pick / Remove Flag, and the 1,2,3 keys can add a Star Rating.

As above- With CapsLock 'on' -any one key press will advance to next image.

I vote for this solution, as it's what I do. 99.9% of the time I don't want to see the rejected photos in the filmstrip or grid view anyway.

I don't vote for any one method. The like to keep the options in mind and be flexible.
