P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

Yeah. It's kind of like refusing to vote in a democracy. Voting may not get you what you want. Sometimes it may only prevent something you really don't want from happening, if enough people voted the way you did. But not voting does nothing at all to help. So if you want Adobe to listen, vote, and take 2 minutes out of your life to justify your vote to Adobe. It may not make Adobe do anything, but it isn't that hard to do, and slowly, slowly, we may reach a critical mass. We can't know before we "waste" 2 minutes of our life on the subject.

Adobe product developers do read most everything posted here, though they reply to only a small fraction of the posts.  And it's been clear over the past nine years that posts here sometimes do influence Adobe's thinking.  But there are so many feature requests, and the LR team has fairly limited resources, so most feature requests don't get acted upon. 

But users should continue to provide feedback, because Adobe does read these posts, and because they're continually getting new blood on the team and evolving their thinking.  A post I made about keyboard shortcuts was circulated to the product team a while ago:

Very well. Knock yourself out.

Well it's a bit late, as I've already made the post...

Why is this website here if they aren't going to listen?

I understand that this post being around for 8 years makes it unlikely to happen, but this is a really important feature for me. If I have any chance of making an influence I'll take it.

Your pessimism is the only irrelevant labour here. People come here to be heard, and some random dude on the internet saying 'STOP IT!' isn't going to change that.

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
