P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

@Thibaut253735311vgj I'm actually building a Mac application that will allow a user to adjust the develop sliders with their keyboard. It's currently being used internally in our photo editing business but I plan on releasing it to the public here soon. If you'd like more information, please feel free to complete this form: https://airtable.com/shrifJQwgqNpjIQR4

To link a button to a develop action, a specific one, well that's not yet possible in Lightroom and it's not something custom shortcuts will allow us to do.

You can easily achieve  "Exposure  +0.3" using a develop preset.

The Preset can be easily accessed via the Quick Develop or in Develop Module.

If you want instead to increase all selected photos by +0.3 you can do it in quick Develop or using Auto Sync, or Sync.

Hi everyone,

I would really like to be able to set custom shortcuts in Lightroom Classic.

Short version : It's awesome, for example, it allows you to cull AND retouch pictures using only a gaming controller, which is much more ergonomic and faster than using a keyborad and mouse. You can set exposure +0.3EV with just the push of a button, even in Library module, etc.

Long version : 

Back in 2015, this was easy with a plugin called VSCO Keys. The plugin died when Lightroom got updated and support for this plugin was abandonned, rendering it unusable.

A lot of people have been wanting to get custom shortcuts since then (and to be honest, since way before since the plugin was an extra purchase). I don't want to rant anymore, I'll just say my personal opinion is that for such an incredible software used by so many people (Lightroom is the industry standard) it absolutely should have been built in, a long long time ago. This is critical guys, come on...

What it allows you to do is : basically anything you want. For example, you can set exposure +0.3EV with just the push of a button, even in Library module, etc. (currently the + or - slider feature only works in Develop module and you have to manually select whatever slider you want making it super slow). I feel it would be a somewhat easy implement for the developpers but would give so much to the users.  I think the primary reason this has not been done is to not hurt the sales of aftermarket solutions (either software or, and mainly, hardware) but I don't care. Thanks for taking the time to read.

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?
