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?

    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. :-))))

    Even Aperture, at which Adobe people look down their nose, has a vastly superior keyboard customisation option.

    Adobe, please integrate this option! Take a closer look over to PhaseOne and CaptureOne Pro 8 – thats the way of productivity 😉

    Also, if you could make Lightroom suck less, that would be good, too.

    This is REALLY needed more now than ever.

    Paddy doesn't work well since CC (LR 5 really). VSCO just said they aren't going to be supporting Keys anymore.

    We can have our own shortcuts in PS (which saves TONS of time for me every day). Can you PLEASE add them in LR now too?
