P: Better keyword management

Another major release and still none of these reasonable requests have been addressed. I would be overjoyed with simply the ability to search for phrases with imbedded spaces instead of "assuming" a logical OR. Come ON Adobe. All of us photographers live in the real world and have to deal with real things that have spaces in the descriptions.

As discussed here https://forums.adobe.com/message/7515... I have hundreds of keywords that have somehow been defined as people when they are not. The only way to change them to "other" is a three step process for each one. Surely there should be a better way?

Absolutely agree with earlier comments.

You should be able to scroll the Keyword list while still keeping the Keywording pane in view.

This is very frustrating.

Yeah, there have been very changes to the Library since LR 3 -- Adobe's attention seems focused elsewhere, unfortunately.

I wonder if there will be any changes in LR6? Probably not, as indicated by Adobe's nonresponse so far to any of these requests this seems to be a dead issue.

Well it been three years since this topic was started. I'm not optimistic that any of these suggestions will see the light of day.

What to you say Adobe?

good idea, especially because the font in the keyword is rather small and cant be changed afaik.

How about a complete window-size keywording panel - navigating the thin strip is quite tricky with the constant scrolling necessary.

Yes I noticed this as well.

UNDESIRABLE JUMPING OF KEYWORDS
I have a long list of keywords that need to be rearranged/sorted. for example I might have some specific names such as anthrenus or podisus that are currently standalone keywords and that I want to drop and drag into the hierarchy animal-insect. If the list of keywords (filtered or unfiltered) is longer than the height of the window, then when i click to select the first keyword to move, then the cursor immediately jumps to the top.

For example, if anthrenus and podisus are both near the bottom of the list and i want to drag them to the top, this means that i first click on anthrenus, INVOLUNTARY JUMPING to top of keyword list, scroll back down, Ctrl-click on podisus, INVOLUNTARY JUMPING to top of keyword list, scroll back down, then drag and drop both into the animal-insect hierarchy.
A partial but tedious work around is to filter sufficiently to reduce the number of visible keywords to less than the height of the window. But this means that when i am going thru a list of keywords to decide where to put them, i have to keep re-filtering to reduce the size. for example, in this case, i could filter on "insect anthrenus podisus" to get all three keywords visible. but if there happened to be another insect such as oncopeltus hidden in the list that i overlooked, i have now hidden this name, so I wont see it until i clear the filter, at which point i will need to re-filter for "insect oncopeltus", and so on. This is a real time-waster.
