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?

@Rikk Flohr: Photography 12 years on; what has happened please?

 

Whenever I am tagging images, I keep finding that my cursor isn't in the right box and my screeen goes on a demented journey round different modules because astoundingly Lightroom uses single-key shortcuts for all sorts of things.  So non-user-friendly.

For me LrSuperKeys  is my go to plugin. It does not offer customisation for all shortcuts, but mainly for the develop module.

The reason I choose this one is, that it implemented the Speed Edit Key functionality known from Capture One into Lightroom, which is a real timesaver when editing images. It also allows applying presets via shortcuts and has a handy quick menu.

Having the Speed Edit Keys in Lightroom is a game changer. I wish, Adobe would add something similar, since they are planning something for almost 1.5 years now.

Any Shortcut by @johnrellis provides near total kbsc customization.

 

I wholeheartedly recommend it.

It looks like the request has now been on the list for something like 12 YEARS...  I suspect that means we're never going to get anything meaningful BUILT INTO Lightroom.  At this point I'd be happy if Adobe would just make Ctrl/0 work the same as in Photoshop!  I got REALLY tired of turning the histogram on and off instead of resizing the image a LONG time ago.

You should be able to fix the issue with history in your Plug-in with those.
