P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

Ah, the keyboard shortcut plea. Been going on for, what... three years that I've been following this thread? Four, perhaps? Anyway, I feel your pain but, just in case you were labouring under the illusion that Adobe is listening to you...

STOP IT!

Adobe is not listening to you.

Adobe please.

Lightroom is fantastic but my efficiency is bottle-necked to a fairly extreme degree by this lack of shortcut configuration.

So many tools I frequently use require awkward movements. I use a big screen so moving my mouse to click on a tool requires a lot of arm and hand adjustment. If I use the (forced) default keyboard shortcuts I have to keep looking down at my keyboard to find the key, if it's not where my hand is resting comfortably I have to readjust.

Both of these points may sound trivial but the accumulated time and effort consumed by simply manoeuvring the application takes away so much from the experience. I find it really difficult to zone in and really make progress when I have to either readjust how I'm sitting to move the mouse across the screen, or turn on the light so I can see the keyboard.

Pleeeeeeeease Adobe! Please. It's. Been. 8. Years.

So much productivity can be set in motion by this simple change.

Dear Jeffrey Tranberry

I was really glad to hear you as an Adobe Rep answering to this thread that you would  act on this

> I've shared this with the Lightroom team

8 months have passed now, I eagerly was hoping that the product LR Classic CC would now in its major new release 8 finally get beyond such issues and work properly. I like to ask here again if there will be any progress on this? If I somehow, (apart from my monthly money transfer  to you) can support this I'd gladly contribute - just let me.

Again - I really want to put a stress on the fact that I do not just ask for a fancy gimmick. I talk about the plain impossibility to use keyboard shortcuts on e.g. Swiss German Keyboards. I am ready and willing anytime to again report in any desired detail whatever you want me to and to work on this.

Thank you for a simple sign of life, wish you to have a great thanksgiving.

LR 8.0 reintroduced a previously fixed typo with the Group Into Stack shortcut in German.  There's clearly a broken internal process...

It's a brilliant invention.  I was a bit disappointed when there was no firmware upgrade path from Loupedeck to Loupedeck+; however, the redesign and manufacturing quality, which was outstanding in the original, was improved in the + version.

Bloody Finns really know how to make great, cool, products.  It was the + version which prompted me to finally upgrade to LR 7.

I would be lost without it, and a lot slower in my workflow too

"So why, with so many people commenting/requesting this feature for so many years, has this request been ignored?"

Unfortunately, Adobe rarely discloses why it chooses not to act on particular feedback. However, a senior product manager did engage in this topic six months ago, in response to detailed suggestions I provided:

Loupedeck+ is the answer.  A keyboard with dials and sliders and customizable keys for Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, Aurora HDR, and Adobe Premiere Pro CC.Lightroom.

Yes, it's pricey, but the increase in the efficiency of one's workflow will realize the benefits quickly.

So why, with so many people commenting/requesting this feature for so many years, has this request been ignored ?  It is not a foreign concept to Adobe.  I appreciate it may not be a simple task, but innovation and keeping users (from where income is derived) happy is surely a major consideration 

"At least would be nice to let us know they read and know the what some of us users like to have."

Adobe employees do read everything posted here, though they only sometimes reply. In general, feedback posted in this forum over the past eight years has demonstrably influenced their product decisions, though it's often the case that individual feature requests and bug reports are not acted upon.
