P: Keyboard Shortcuts for Basic Tone and Color Adjustments

Please add keyboard shortcuts for basic tone and color adjustments, either for Develop module sliders or Library module click buttons. Photographers who do any volume of work in Lightroom know that mousing around is a pain. Unfortunately, 3rd party keyboard add-ons suck or are very expensive. Keyboard shortcuts for basic tone and color adjustments would offer much greater efficiency.

By "basic tone and color adjustments", I mean:
temperature
tint
exposure
highlight recovery
fill light
black clipping
brightness
contrast
saturation
vibrance

    No. I don't shoot weedings. And yet I have many projects that are paid per number of photos delivered. Additionally I use WACOM Tablet. I need those shortcut keys (and tons of additional actions) to be mappable.

    I can't agree more with Victoria:

    We need PS like possibility for own mapping. ESPECIALLY for mapping of any kind of own custom presets.

    Please note that MANY of us use WACOM tablets or similiar. With PS any tablet works like a charm. There is quite some space for improvement yet.

    When to expect it?

    Frankly, I find the period, comma and plus/minus keyboard shortcuts for the basic panel in the very useful and useable. I just want the same functionality for the rest of the Develop module panels - including the gradient and brush panels.

    I would vote multiple times for the ability to set my own shortcut keys.

    We should all vote for more Lightroom engineers.

    It's nice to see I'm not the only one looking for keyboard shortcuts for basic adjustments. It would really speed up my workflow when going through thousands of images. I would love to see this make it into the next version of Lightroom.
    The idea of having customizable shortcuts is good as well.

    It would be great to have keyboard shortcuts for common Develop mode adjustments such as exposure, contrast, white balance, etc.

    Currently I hover the cursor over the controls and use up and down arrows to make fine adjustments, but it would be much faster if I could make adjustments useing only keyboard shortcuts.

    The keyboard shortcuts is a huge time saver in Lightroom, so besides doing your own (that fits your style better), it'd be awesome to also be able to assign keyboard short cuts to Develop sliders as well as for popular presets.

    Please pretty please, like my idea! 🙂
