P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

Many, many people have modified the TranslatedStrings.txt, either directly or via the Keyboard Tamer plugin, over the past five years. It's been quite robust for them. On Mac, it does get overwritten by updates, so best to save a copy away. (I too would prefer that LR supported keyboard customization better.)

I'll run some more tests... it was working when I last checked it a few weeks ago. So to check we're on the same page, you're running on the English version on a Finnish/Swedish keyboard?

Yes, \ is SHIFT + ALT + 7 on a Finnish / Swedish keyboard.

I tried that, but it didn't work for the English version.
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before/Key=m"

It works just fine for Spanish, for example, but adding that file to the en.lproj doesn't do anything.

Also, this is a nasty hack and will be overwritten by updates.
(And if Adobe does some kind of integrity checks, it might even prevent from updating...)

The other thing that drives me insane is the " \ " or whatever command works on your keyboard is only available in the development module... which is stupid... shortcut keys have different uses in different modules that is so annoying!

Ah, hang on, non-US keyboard.... try this: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/article...

Try to \ key to toggle before/after preview.

This will most likely be one of the, if not the biggest obstacle for people trying to switch from Aperture to Lightroom.
Not only can't you change the shortcuts to what you've used to, but some of the keys are just mad when using a non-US keyboard.

Toggling between original and modified image in Aperture (M key by default, or anything you choose).
In Lightroom, SHIFT + ALT + 7.

There are so many functions I use hundreds of time for each set of pictures that require me to click 2-3 times. Assigning these often-used tasks to a keyboard shortcut could potentially speed up productiveness a lot.

Please get those configurable shortcuts into the engineering plan for the next Lightroom CC version.

Thanks ...

Can't believe this hasn't been implemented yet. Everyone's brain works differently, everyone has different shortcut keys that they are already used to. Having to relearn a whole new set, that puts emphasis on the actions and shortcuts YOU think are important does nothing whatsoever to help me.

Please make this happen.

With every new release of Lightroom, I feel pretty confident that customisable keyboard shortcuts are on its way.
With every new release of Lightroom, I'm disappointed... :(

It's not just a matter of making for a more pleasant experience, as with any customisation: with LR, there are 2 extra factors that make keyboard redefinable shortcuts a must IMHO:

1) If setting LR to "english" on non english keyboards, some shortcuts are simply impossible to use. I've tried to simulate the key-presses with auto-hotkey and other apps, to no avail.

2) Keyboard shortcuts are not consistent between acr/ps and LR. I would like to be given the ability to choose (consistency among applications vs. LR specific shortcuts)

I wish this will be considered some day, although I must admit that over the years I've grown so used to this limitation, that sometimes I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. Still... I'll keep hoping for it.
