Hello~  
My second day using the Ultralytics platform. And there’s been a bit of a inconvenience in the data labeling process…

1/ When I press the arrow keys (← / →) in the input class name, the Previous/Next button is also triggered. Any key have shortcut is also triggered too.

2/ The **Ask AI** button is covering the Previous/Next button. It took me a while to realize I could drag it lol

3/ (not a problem, just a suggestion from me) It would be great if there was a **Crop** feature to remove unwanted parts of the image.  
Hopefully Ultralytics team will consider this.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, and welcome to the **Ultralytics Platform**. The arrow-key behavior inside the class-name input and the `Ask AI` button overlapping `Previous/Next` both sound like annotator UX bugs, not intended behavior, so I’ve passed those along.

For the crop suggestion, there isn’t currently a built-in manual image-crop tool in the annotator. If you mean automatic object crops, the [Object Cropping guide for Ultralytics YOLO26](https://docs.ultralytics.com/guides/object-cropping/) and the [`Results.save_crop()` API reference](https://docs.ultralytics.com/reference/engine/results/#ultralytics.engine.results.Results.save_crop) are the closest current workaround before upload. If you mean full image trimming inside the dataset editor, that’s a solid feature request too.

If helpful, I can share a tiny batch-preprocessing script to crop images before importing them.

Yes, I meant “full image cropping inside the dataset editor”.  
About the script, I can fine-tune my slice tool to handle these extra parts. But still hopefully this feature will be available soon in the dataset editor. Because I and other users don’t always have the tool to crop images readily available. And thank you for suggesting the script.

I will continue to report any problems I encounter to you guys. Hopefully, this platform will get better and better. Thank you for your prompt support efforts. I love Ultralytics!
