Remove Keyboard Shortcut?

You can add, change, and delete most LR keyboard shortcuts using the TranslatedStrings file. But unfortunately, some of the most common shortcuts are hardwired into LR, including Shift + C. 

Sometimes System Preferences > Keyword > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts lets you assign existing shortcuts to other commands, but it requires all the shortcuts to include Ctrl, Cmd, or Option.  In particular, you couldn't use System Preferences to assign Shift + C to Copy Settings.

To avoid accidentally typing Shift + C, you could change the shortcuts for the menu commands "Copy Settings..." and "Paste Settings".  You could use either System Preferences or Translated Strings -- see here for details on both:

For example, I assigned Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to "Copy Settings..." and "Paste Settings".  (Note that you must type the menu names exactly as they appear, including case and punctuation.)

Hi,

Isn't there a way to change/delete keyboard shortcuts through the Lightroom Classic user interface?

Unfortunately, no.

I don't know how to change Lightroom on Mac, but here's how to do it in Windows, maybe it could put you on the right track: https://kelmond.com/customize-keyboard-shortcuts-in-lightroom/

Not sure if it's possible to remove a shortcut altogether, though maybe leaving a blank value would work (never tried it). If not possible, I'd suggest changing it to another shortcut (preferably hard to type by mistake, with mutliple special keys).

Hope that helps,

Michael
