P: Swap Develop panels for Left-Handers

I'm a left-hander, and I find that using a Wacom tablet with Lightroom is incredibly cumbersome at times. This is due to the fact that all of the develop panels are on the right side of the screen, and accessing them with my pen means crossing my arm all the way across my body to the right so that the pen can access the sliders on the right panel. My idea is to add a "left-handed mode" that would simply swap the location of the left/right panels, making it easier to access the develop (and other currently-right-sided) panels when using a pen tablet.

    This is a LrC feature request. Would it be possible to make the 2 panels in each view swapable? I am like many others a left handed Wacom tablet user and swapping the panels would eliminate the need for me to reach across the screen with my pen to access the most used right hand panel. I have PS set up this way and it is a time saver over a few images.

    I don't know if you can modify your original post, and place this under "Ideas" rather than "Discussions", but that would put your feature request into the proper place. Otherwise, maybe someone can move it for you.

    Adobe: it is time to add this feature to all of your applications as more and more people are using them on mobile devices. You cannot expect >10% of your users to continue using your apps when you are ignoring a basic need.

      I totally agree - a left handed option is essential and should never have been left this late. Especially as more and more laptops have touch screens nowadays. To me this would seem a quick win for Adobe, being a simple change with great impact for a lot of people. Please develop this soon.

        Left-handedness is a "divsersity issue" to those of us who are left-handed.  C'mon Adobe.

          So true.  The Snapchat users are in their own little (or not so little) world, but it's not  MY world.

          Hello, also a leftie here... And I add my voice to this group. I just discovered that Ipad users have the function already so why not Android ?

          It is already difficult to be a left handed person in right handed world but seriously COME ON, don't you have anybody left handed in your team that can explain why this is the MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE TO ADD right now ?

          Thanks.

          Adoba please implement this. It's nearly impossible to use a tablet for left-handers. Is it really so hard to implement?

          Can i move the Module that are normally on the right to be on the left?  Ive added a new Apple XDR and am using two monitors in LR.  This puts the Develop Module way out in right field.  Can it be moved to the left side?  Thanks
