Hi Everyone,
I'm Ahmud, a product manager working on the issue view in Jira Cloud. Thank you for sharing your votes and comments for this feature request.
I understand how important the dot "." menu is to work more productively and efficiently in Jira. We won't be addressing or adding more functionality to the dot dialog menu in the near term. We are currently working on a new keyboard shortcut experience that will be launched in the near future. I will update this ticket to open so you can continue updating the ticket with your feedback. Once the new experience launches we will update this ticket.
Regards,
Ahmud

[JRACLOUD-89925] Jump to fields for editing Keyboard shortcut do not work ("," or "gg" or ".")
Taking away vital functionality like this is completely inexplicable and the lack of intelligible explanations for this are troubling to say the least. As an admin, I rely on "gg" to do half of my work. The new search is not only more difficult to access but much less robust and less helpful for admins.
I agree: consistency and completeness (as it was with the '.' shortcut by the way) is key.
Hopefully is removing an assignee just now not the signal that priority of this request is going the wrong way.
Thanks 1f215302a950! Some of those fields are ones I would edit regularly with that functionality.
I really don't understand why they're being so selective with the fields you can edit. Why can't they just open it up to all available fields on a card's screen/view? I would understand if maybe certain custom fields weren't available as MVP, but still would expect that to be on their roadmap. Atlassian took away a super simple editing tool. And why they couldn't just stick with what worked, ".", instead of Ctrl+K is interesting, but I'm willing to make the switch if they can make it consistent.

Copy / paste of the feature notes (still rolling out on July 9, 2024)
Feature: Edit issue details using just your keyboard
We’ve expanded the functionality of the command palette so it’s even easier to edit your issues.
You can now use your keyboard to edit the following fields on an issue:
- Sprint
- Labels
- Due date
- Fix versions
- Priority
- Story points
- Components
To edit issue details with the command palette.
- Open the issue you want to edit.
- Open the command palette by selecting command + K if you’re a Mac user, or Ctrl + K if you’re a Windows user.
- Select the issue action you want to perform.
1f215302a950 - for those of us without access to Admin, can you provide high level info on what the new feature is?
I see a new similar feature rolling out. It might be a step in the right direction, it hasn't reached my instance so i can't test.

I've given up on this functionality but it does take me back to a time when J I R A was lean and ergonomic. The power is still there under the hood but a lot of what made it quick and delightful is harder to find.
The . shortcut was SO GOOD and to have had it and then lost it is just tough as a customer. Also the responses to this story just sitting here for years with little engagement is not great feeling for me.

Be creative! Make this a crowd fun
The loss of this functionality is completely inexplicable. The individual fields are now found in one of several difficult-to-differentiate categories (Pinned, Details, More Fields), so are more difficult to actually locate on the form. And, with no keyboard shortcut to easily update such entries, productivity is taking a major hit. What used to be a quick, short sequence of keyboard shortcuts, is now forced to be: A scan of the page searching for the field in question, kicking open the category sections as needed, again looking for the particular field, and then using a pointing device to actually click on the field in order to open it for editing. Why was the prior functionality completely removed?
Note that this ticket has been open for six years, and the latest indication from Atlassian is that they are are "currently working on a new keyboard shortcut experience that will be launched in the near future" … but this was posted one year ago. Is there really any hope of this being revisited, and corrected?
My power users also made heavy use of the 'dot' menu for editing specific field values. We're just learning that only system fields (like Status or Story Points) can be edited using the actions menu in Jira Cloud, and it's both a bummer and a productivity killer for many of our heaviest users.
+1 to making the 'dot'/cmd+K menu allow users to edit a specific field (custom or otherwise).
