P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

As part of this request will you allow to also assign shortcuts to actions that don't have them yet or not?!

That is a must have IMO.

Could you provide more information about the timeline for this feature release? Also, will this allow for develop slider functionality via keyboard shortcuts? @Rikk Flohr: Photography 

Updating Status

Add me to the list of people that would like customizable keyboard shortcuts.  I'm not even trying to do anything exotic, just make the ctrl/0 work the same as it does in Photoshop - change the zoom so the image fits the screen.  Instead, I toggle the Histogram on and off a half dozen times a day when trying to zoom back to "Fit"...

@anssik_, the first question in your post was:

"1. Why all other Adobe apps let me change keyboard shortcuts, but not Lightroom Classic?'

which is why I suggested merging with this thread. Your second question:

"2. Why nothing has been done to non-working keyboard shortcuts in non-English keyboard layouts (at least Finnish keyboard layout)?"

If you want LR to directly support Finnish keyboard layouts, without any customization needed by the user, I suggest submitting a separate, focused feature request in the Ideas section:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-ideas/how-do-i-write-a-feature-request/idi-p/12386378

After years of requests, Adobe did add support for Russian and Thai in LR 9.3.  The Russian feature request got 23 votes over 7 years, which made it significantly more popular than most feature requests, but didn't put it in the "very popular" category.  (Votes are only one input into Adobe's prioritization, obviously.)

I believe my post is a separate issue to this one @johnrellis @Rikk Flohr: Photography: the issue I'm explaining is an error as those keyboard shortcuts are not working.

This thread is about allowing keyboard shortcuts to be changed by the user (fully supporting that!) — but on Finnish keyboards some of those keyboard shortcuts really just aren't working at all after installing Lightroom Classic (like Deselect Active Photo), as there's no keys for those shortcuts.

I don't understand how Adobe can happily sit on this for over a decade and not do anything. For  average user let alone beginner editing text preference files or buying Keyboard Maestro, just to get their keyboard shortcuts working, is a very strange strategy (and if it is, there should be a documented help guide for non-English users to do that even if that's a sad strategy right there).

EDIT: In upcoming LRC 11.1 there is a bug fix for a keyboard shortcut: "(Windows) Mask Overlay Cycle Color KBSC Fails 4207667 [Shift]+[ O ]" — why is there no bug fix for this major keyboard shortcut bug since the beginning of Lightroom over a decade ago?

I'd like to blame Adobe for not fixing one-key keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom Classic on non-English keyboards, even though this problem has excited since Lightroom version 1 (at least with Finnish keyboard layout).

Seems like Adobe is NEVER going to be fixing this problem, even though it renders some functions non-operational. (sidenote: subscription model and recurring monthly revenue hasn't made Adobe any more aware to take any responsibility in this issue, as this problem has been with as for a over a decade)

This key mapping problem affects multi-key keyboard shortcuts as well, as keys needed for some multi-key keyboard shortcuts either doesn't exist at all or collide with other shortcuts.

For example, in Library Module:

• Deselect Active Photo (one-key keyboard shortcut /) — I don't have that key on my Finnish keyboard (as that character sits behind combination Shift + 7, and that combination is for Set Color Label to Yellow and Advance to Next Photo) so I don't have a keyboard shortcut for deselecting active photo. Can you imagine — I've needed mouse to perform that action with a Command + Mouse Click for over a decade. Over a decade!

• Decrease | Increase Rating (one-key keyboard shortcut [ and ]) — I don't have that key on my Finnish keyboard (as those characters sit behind combination Option + 8 and Option + 9) so hitting Option + 8 and Option + 9 will Decrease and Increase Rating instead of what Option + 8 and Option + 9 should be doing, that is Set Keyword (so I can't use keyboard shortcut for the last two keywords in a Keyword Set).

For example, in Develop Module:

• Before Only (one-key keyboard shortcut \) — I don't have that key on my Finnish keyboard (as that character sits behind combination Option + Shift + 7) so in order to switch between Before and After Views instead of one key with one hand, I need to hit three keys with two hands. So I leave my other hand on the mouse just to quickly glance on the Before View. Very frustrating.

There's other examples where keyboard shortcuts won't work on non-English keyboard layout (at least a Finnish one) but they all would be not an issue, if only Lightroom Classic users would be able to change keyboard shortcuts to different one-key and multi-key keyboard shortcuts — like we can do in Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator, for example.

I have two questions for Adobe team (and I think I deserve an answer after complaining and waiting an answer for over a decade😞

1. Why all other Adobe apps let me chance keyboard shortcuts, but not Lightroom Classic?
2. Why nothing has been done to non-working keyboard shortcuts in non-English keyboard layouts (at least Finnish keyboard layout)?

As a workaround, I've used excellent Keyboard Maestro to circumvent some of the keyboard shortcut problems, but it can't do anything to some of them (like that basic and often used Deselect Active Photo), and I anyway ask for answers to those two questions above.

Thanks.

Modifiable Keyboard shortcuts are a must for any professional editing tool. Please Adobe, this would be a welcome addition to a nice product. Especially since we pay a monthly subscription. 

This thread is being merged into an existing authoritative thread for better tracking and response. Please review the official answer (if any) in the second post on the thread for more information. 

Thanks for your reply ; yes I know it exists, but I would really prefer to not invest in a device just to do this. It was possible (and maybe still is) with some plugins in the past, and it's probably THE MOST requested feature ever in Lightroom Classic (and has been for what, 10 years now ?)... That absolutely should be integrated in LR. Alternative title could have been : "Come on Adobe, don't you want your customers to be happy" ?
