P: Please add a keyboard shortcut for "Automatically strighten the photo" option

Hello, please add a keyboard shortcut for the "Automatically straighten the photo" option in the "Crop overlay". Usually, I press "R" to select crop and wish to have another shortcut for "Auto straighten", as it usually works well in most cases.

 

Kind regards,

Kristijonas

    Unless I'm missing something obvious, there's no way to use a keyboard shortcut to auto straighten with transform either. I don't need a new ability to remap shortcuts; I'm already using an MMO mouse and a behringer midi controller with Lightroom. The shortcut needs to exist in the first place before I can map it to anything.

    You'd be surprised what's possible!

     

    It costs you nothing to download and try it, and if you don't, then I suspect you'll have a long wait for Adobe to add the KBSC your asking for.

    Just a thought, I would suggest you explore the options in "Transform" feature prior to using the Crop options.

    If the shortcut does not exist, I don't understand how this plugin would help me.

    While you're waiting for Adobe to add a KBSC you might try a plugin by a John R Ellis called 'Any Shortcut'. More details at:

      I shoot high-volume action photography and it is immensely time consuming and unergonomic to have to click the tiny "auto" button in crop mode for every single photo.

        For what it's worth, I do have an autohotkey script that will allow me to straighten every single photo, but more often than not, I need 3 or 4 out of every 5 photos autostraightened (of thousands), so I need to go back and unstraighten a ton of them with this solution. A keyboard shortcut would save me a ton of time.
