3DS Max 2020.2 - <Show selection bracket toggle> 'j' has disappeared

I can't seem to re-assign the 'j' key to show bounds on my mesh after updating to 2020.2

 

Does anyone know what it is under in the 'hotkey editor'? It doesn't correspond to any menu entry from the past or max help files (for some reason) - I haven't got time to go through the many hundreds or whatever entries in the hotkey editor to try and find it. 😞

This is why the hotkey editor now has a search function:

OK thanks!

I wonder why they decided a key that had been assigned to something for 15+ years needed to be reassigned? 😖

Hmm, [J] is not even assigned to any action it seems.

The J key does the same as the right mouse button in the Viewport

The shortcut to toggle the selection bracket has be re-assigned to "Shift + J".
The shortcut key J now opens a quad menu where you can quickly switch to different editors (curve editor, dope sheet, etc.)
