As the title says. I tried everything i could think of, and i still can't manage to find the shortcut to create a virtual copy. Control + ' does not work.

 

Could someone help me, please?

I found a solution and present it here for everyone with the same issue: https://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/100323/can-i-change-lightroom-keyboard-shortcuts-in-windows-10

 

I didn't have the "en" folder, so i created it, and followed those steps. Now i have a working shortcut. Shame on Adobe for not providing a proper shortcuts customization, like every other professional program has.

@Ryke Waltz I faced a similar issue as the you had and was able to solve it using Any Shortcut plug-in by @johnrellis 

 

Aside for solving these problems Any Shortcut is a great tool and provides a super quick and efficient way to customise KBSC + German is supported as well.

    The shortcut for creating virtual copies on an German keyboard is STRG + T.

     

    My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

    I tried that, but it just shows/hides the toolbar in Library mode. The T-key alone also does that. And i can assure you that my CTRL key is not broken. In Develop mode CTRL+T does nothing at all.

     

    I just had an idea and checked it out - my language setting in LR is set to English, but i'm on a German keyboard. If i switch my Windows Input Language to ENG, CTRL+Ä works.

     

    So either i'm gonna need to switch LR to German (not gonna happen) or i need to always switch to ENG (problematic). A third option could be to just modify the keyboard shortcut settings, like described in here: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/custom-keyboard-shortcuts/ - but i can't find the settings file for English input.

     

    Could you help me with that?
