Hi Adboe,

I like working with LR and it's the software product I use the most. It's a good piece of software and I never had any troubles working with it and I always was a happy user. (German keyboard layout on a Mac)

But in the new LR version the keyboard shortcuts to rotate images have been changed, unfortunately to the worse. From (Command+) and (Command+.) to (Command+<) &
(Command+#). You did fix something that was not broken.

Here's what these new shortcuts do:
1) They only work for me when an image I have fully zoomed into an image.
2) The shortcut to rotate an image clockwise (Command+#) is the same as the one to zoom into an image (Seriously?! Did no one double check that before the release?).
3) In the previous LR version you could rotate images with the shortcuts in both directions without having to use two hands on the keyboard because the keys for both directions were right next to each other (, & .). Now the keys used for this are on the opposite ends of the keyboard (at least mine, which has a German layout).

I really hope you come up with an update to bring back the old shortcuts to rotate images.

See earlier posts in this topic for how to correct the shortcuts yourself while waiting for a fix.

Shortcuts do not work in many cases for example
turn images: CMD+, &CMD+.

Import of LR Catalogues from Servers, extern Harddisks and similar is not possible with catalogues created in LR Classic CC but catalogues created in older LR Versions are.

For the rest it runs a bit faster

But overall it seems more like a downstep than an update.

You can change these shortcuts yourself by editing the TranslatedStrings.txt file: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/custom-keyboard-shortcuts/

It is impossible to use the rotate photo shortcut on a Italian keyboard since CTRL [   and CTRL ] cannot work.

The [] keys are only available on a Italian keyboard with the ALT Gr key.

I have to use the mouse to rotate photos.

Any solutions?

 

Thanks

The keyboard shortcuts for rotate left and right in German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Swedish were changed incorrectly in LR 7.0.1.  

The tables below show the shortcuts for CC 2015.12 and 7.0.1, in Develop and Library, and the contents of Library > Help > Library Module Shortcuts, as specified in TranslatedStrings*.txt.





Also, in German, the Strg key is incorrectly labeled as Ctrl in the shortcuts shown in the menus.  This is because of the following change in TranslatedStrings*.txt:
$$$/Win/MenuDisplay/KeyboardShortcutElement/Ctrl=Strg
=>
$$$/Win/MenuDisplay/KeyboardShortcutElement/Ctrl=Ctrl

In Swedish LR 7.0.1, the keyboard shortcuts for rotate left and right are now Cmd + [ and Cmd + ] (Cmd = Ctrl on Windows).
