Hey, just want to ask about the updated feature Compare View in Lightroom Desktop. What are the keyboard shortcuts for this view? How to access it and easily choose pics without the mouse?

In Windows. Use Alt-C to open the compare view.

You can either select multiple images ahead of time using shift plus arrows. I have not found a way to switch between the compare panels without using a mouse. Once you are on the correct panel, you can use arrows to scroll through the images on the filmstrip. Note: If you have selected images, it will only go through the selected images ignoring others.

I do not know if it is possible "without the mouse."!

Attempting to select photos to compare using arrow keys with [Ctrl] is un-predictable.
