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?

    Yes! Please make this happen!  And then let us print out a list of all shortcuts with an automatic date stamp!

    It would be really great if the user could define keyboard shortcuts!

    While waiting for LR to provide easy keyboard customization (which we've been waiting for a long time, unfortunately), it is possible to assign, change, or disable most shortcuts by using the Keyboard Tamer plugin, changing the shortcuts in System Preferences on Mac, or by editing Translating Strings.txt on Windows and Mac.

    Any shortcut customisation, including disabling shortcuts, would be welcome.

    Lightroom classic is giving lots of headache because of the keyword shortcuts. When I enter data in the metadata panel and write tags I hit often a key and it jumps me to another tab like the develop module etc. I want to just disable shortcuts.

    Hello there,

    I'm using Lightroom in English language (mostly to follow tutorials), on a French computer / keyboard.

    A few shortcuts are not possible to use because this language missmatch :

    In the English version of lightroom, the shortcut "before/after only" used to disable all the develop effects which is set on the backwards slash key (\) isn't usable at all.
    Pressing this key on the French keyboard does a "-0.10" exposure because it's located on the "8" key, and pressing the key where this symbol is normally placed on an English keyboad does nothing at all.

    The only way to make this shortcut work is setting Lightroom in French, and using the combination of keys "Shift+S" (which is by the way absolutely not close to the English shortcut).

    I found topics that are almost 10 years old where people are facing the same problem, and a simple ability to remap the shortcuts would solve the problem.

    It's really frustrating to not be able to use some important shortcuts, especially because of such a silly reason, and also knowing that in the other Adobe programs, it's either possible to remap all the shortcuts, and there aren't even such compatibility problems in the first place...
