Ugh, just ran into this "improvement" today. The old keyboard shortcut for the SET PAGE BOXES dialogue to trim or crop multiple pages was Control+Shift+T (the original post incorrectly identifies the command). Now it's been reassigned to "insert blank page"? Why couldn't Adobe come up with a new shortcut for that if it thought people wanted a shortcut for that?
We're talking about the dialogue box here, not the cropping tool. See attached image, which came from https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/crop-pdf-pages.html
Also, the "single key accelerators" setting users don't always want to enable. So the current suggestion to enable that setting and then hitting the "C" key is inadequate. Furthermore, the crop tool is NOT the same as the dialogue box for multi-page trimming.
This is just another poorly thought through change to the program. Users get accustomed to using software a certain way and become efficient at it in their workflow. Changing it without good reason (like really, really good) is a problem. Compounding that problem is not letting users reassign the shortcut back to what it used to be.
This has been an issue for years: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/set-page-boxes/td-p/12168710

Here's evidence this has existed since at least 2008:

And it's still there. Eff you Adobe.

This is NOT resolved because it's a bug or bad UI (again). This has been kicking around in Acrobat for an unacceptably long time. Numerous posts seeking help have this issue.
First, the dialog po-up box doesn't even tell the user what's going on, it just says "please wait while the document is being prepared for" and then has a cancel button. Absolutely no indication of what the software is doing, or how to change the setting.
Second, this appears to be the result of some accessibility feature that a user may inadvertently click yes to, thus resulting in EVERY pdf opened to be endlessly interrupted for this mystery process. Apparently the only way to undo that accessibility preference is to delete a file. Really? Not even anything in the vast array of options that exist under preferences?
This is a bug first and foremost, and horrible UI second. This needs to be changed.

This is a similar issue with the comments in the body of the document (floating). The comment box's text gets cut off. Previously, comment boxes could be sized to EITHER ensure all text was visible (larger box), or not visible, but scrollable (smaller box). What a mess Adobe has made of their flagship product. The UI is total garbage.

Again, WHY did Adobe think a bunch of useless white space between page thumbnails was a good thing? Changing the size of those thumbnails doesn't really change the wasted, useless space between pages. It's literally 100% wasted space; meaning there is the same amount of white space as there is thumbnail, side-to-side. There should be a way to have these thumbnails be nearly touching, like bookbinding, so that you can see more pages in the thumbnails.
It wasn't this was before (Acrobat Pro X), and whoever thunk up this new feature or didn't care enough to at least make it the same as prior versions should be fired. This is either a bug or extremely bad UI development.

Thank you Ishita. This is not "improving" the quick tools, but putting it back the way it was. The redesigned UI was not better, and I consider the poorer overall visual utility a bug. Loss of color on the icons, icon uniformity (for multiple different tools), and more spacing--all likely done in the name of making the UI "pretty." Acrobat is a TOOL, and it should be treated that way, not window dressing.

Colorized icons is absolutely necessary. Again, "appearance" of the UI is far, far lower priority than usability. Software is a TOOL, not a website, not a marketing piece, not a decoration. UI staff (leadership) should be fired for this horrible backwards change.
