Photos Shortcuts Not Working

Using Mac OS X 10.14 and Photos version 4 - it appears none of my keyboard shortcuts work. Primarily the space bar no longer quick-views a photo. I tried a couple of other random shortcuts and they also do not work. Suggestions? Is this by design or a MacOS 10.14 bug?

iMac, macOS Mojave (10.14)

It seems to be by design and not a bug. Apple has updated the user guide to reflect the changed keyboard shortcuts.

Open or close a photo: Double-click a photo thumbnail or select a thumbnail and press Return. Double-click or press Return again to close.

The shortcut "R" for the Retouch Tool is also gone, but without a replacement.
