P: Add keyboard shortcut to expand/collapse Stacks

I’m trying out Stacks to help with culling sports photoshoots, motivated by the automatic stacking feature added a little while ago. It looks like the only way to “enter” a stack is to click the small number in the top-right corner of the photo? It’d be nice to be able to do this from the keyboard.

    The shortcut in Lightroom Classic (not that I use it) seems to be S which doesn’t work in Lightroom Desktop.

    @Rikk Flohr_Photography Can you change this post into a feature request (unless the function already exists)

    Hi @kocolosk, thanks for reaching out to the Lightroom Community forum! To expand or collapse stacks, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) on a stack and choose the appropriate option from the menu. Click the numerical badge in the upper-left corner of the thumbnail to expand or collapse the stack. You can also click the vertical lines on either side of the thumbnail. Since this would be a new feature, I would recommend posting in Feature Requests, so others can vote on the idea. I hope this helps! ^CH
