Customizable keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom would be great. I just find it so confusing that crop and brush tools and things like that have such odd keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom. I understand that changing that all now would be awful for many existing users, but being able to override them like I can in Photoshop would be helpful. Doesn't anyone else out there find they use to wrong keyboard shortcuts in the wrong program?

"True, that's why i mentioned keyboard maestro or better touch tool.These tools can map anything to anything on a application or global level."

Unfortunately, there are context-dependent shortcuts in LR, e.g. "x" for Photo > Set Flag > Reject. That shortcut is only active when the keyboard focus is not in an input field, e.g. Caption. If you tried to use a utility to remap "x", you wouldn't be able to type "x" into a caption.

John,
The proper role of product management is only to specify which languages/keyboards etc need to be supported. The focus of product management should be on the choices of which languages/keyboards to support, and which not to support.

7 years and this is still not a feature... This should have been in version 1.

John, as always, thanks for taking the time to clearly order stuff. I've shared this with the Lightroom team.

> Provide a GUI user interface for editing the config file

I could see this being done via Lightroom Web much more easily than integrating into Lightroom itself. Enter your desired shortcuts and download a config.lua file it outputs.

I understand the frustration Martin, especially when it comes to the translations. You're not the only one frustrated by that, for sure.

Yeah, well, when talking about Adobe’s efforts on serving their customers it’s crazy that some non-English keyboard users are given shortcuts that simply do not work and require separate paid apps to function properly.

And, you can’t assign one-key shortcuts.
