Keywords - Accessing and Editing list

How do I get an editable list of all keywords in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or Bridge?  I have a lot of keywords, many of them redundant as they were originally generated in transfers from Aperture and iPhoto, also I want to organise keywords more systematically, remove duplicates etc.

    Adobe, why removing such an essential feature as keyword list? If you leave possibility to users to add keywords to images, why not enable the way to manage them or to browse images by keyword? 

    Is there anyway to enable this in Lightroom 5.1? Is it coming anysoon in Lightroom 5?

    I do not intend in anyway to switch between Classic and the current version.

    Thank you.

      Half of my keywords were mispelled over time and cant figure out how to edit the list. Please advise.

        Hey, @kathyb22473636, welcome to the Community! Unfortunately, you can't rename a keyword at the moment. However, you can filter all the photos with a specific keyword, add the correct keyword, and then delete the incorrect one.

        In Lightroom, type the keyword you want to correct into the search bar at the top; it will filter all the photos with that keyword. Next, open the keyword panel at the bottom right to see the keywords applied to the photo. Add the new keyword with the correct spelling while selecting all the images, then delete the misspelled keyword.

        Hope this helps!

        I am migrating from Classic to Cloudy, and found I had to go back to Classic to get a list of keywords.

        The ability to at least export the list of keywords is very useful.
