P: [X] KBSC should still reject images when the crop tool is active

When the crop tool is active in Lightroom Classic, pressing the 'x' key switches the crop aspect ratio instead of rejecting the image. I request either 'x' always rejects the image, or the ability to redine the keyboard shortcuts, especially the 'x' key.

I tried to use the translated strings file to redine the keystroke short cut, yet 'x' seems to be hard coded to switch the aspect ratio when the crop tool is active in the develop module regardless of what translation string I provide.

I wholeheartedly agree with this request. In the mean time, I've set the kestroke shortcut to "rxr" ( "r" turns off crop mode, "x" flags the image as rejected, "r" turns on crop mode ) on my wacom to use when culling in crop mode as most of my heavy-duty culling takes place this way. I've added a screenshot of the way my expresskeys are assigned. Not super helpful if you aren't using a device with assingable keys but maybe the default shortcut keys can be modified?
