P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

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?

THIS is what keyboard shortcut customisation looks like. Complete control over how you want to work. You know, like invoking Crop with the C key, not the R key.

Still beggars belief that Apple can do this but Adobe can't. Even more amazing that after five years, Adobe still isn't meeting this need among its users. Get it together, ya gronks.

Yeah, and I'm fully friggin' aware Apple dropped Aperture. So don't start on me.

The standard OS X App Shortcuts work well with menu commands, but they don't help with LR commands that don't appear in the menus.  For that, you need to edit TranslatedStrings.txt (or use Keyboard Tamer to do that for you, if it still works).

If you use a Mac you can make your own keyboard shortcuts. I've made some to make my export options much faster.

I can't believe this ticket is 5 years old. 
Decent keyboard shortcuts would improve productivity by miles. (And lessen RSI)

Wow! This FR has been hanging around for 5 years! I've tried LR from the first beta, but have only been using LR since it got LR Mobile. I'm a die-hard PS user, and one of the reasons I have never taken to LR is the lack of any way to customize kbsc. I really don't like learning completely foreign kbsc for every app I use. I'm not calling for LR to become more like PS by having layers and masks—why destroy the simplicity that people wanted in the first place? But it seems to me that pursuing workspace customization is part and parcel of the goal of simplicity. It's not "simple" to be forced to learn kbsc that exist in LR solely for LR—or we're stuck mousing about in menus. It makes the app feel far more klunky than it otherwise would.

Coming from Aperture and using whatever key I damn well like. For years.

I would, too, if I weren't married to an indispensable (and expensive to license) plug-in that relies on LR for roundtrip editing.

Due to poor and slow performance I am currently investigating my options to migrate to Capture One. :-))))
