I have recently purchased a Loupedeck CT to help control Lightroom Classic better and become more productive and accurate. Unfortunately I now find that some functions are not available on Loupedeck CT because it uses SDK (softare development kit). Many things are controllable but things like using the Alt key to improve Sharpening is not possible because Adobe has not provide SDK support for the Alt function. Loupdeck Ltd tells me they have requested SDK support for the Alt function but Adobe has not done it.
 
This is a very important function.  Loupedeck CT does a great job of making Lightroom Classic easier, faster, more accurate and more pleasant to use but without the Alt function e.g. to carry out adjustments in the Detail panel on Sharpening Amount, Radius and Masking, not to mention Luminance, it loses its strength.  Please get the SDK function implemented for the Alt function

This was partially implemented in the LR 12 SDK, allowing the clipping overlay to be displayed for the appropriate sliders (e.g. Exposure):

The Alt (Option) key is used with several different sliders to show an optional display that highlights what is being changed. This key is ignored when moving the slider in the SDK.

Hello, is anyone from Adobe reading this forum? I'm reporting a bug.
