Hi Adboe,

I like working with LR and it's the software product I use the most. It's a good piece of software and I never had any troubles working with it and I always was a happy user. (German keyboard layout on a Mac)

But in the new LR version the keyboard shortcuts to rotate images have been changed, unfortunately to the worse. From (Command+) and (Command+.) to (Command+<) &
(Command+#). You did fix something that was not broken.

Here's what these new shortcuts do:
1) They only work for me when an image I have fully zoomed into an image.
2) The shortcut to rotate an image clockwise (Command+#) is the same as the one to zoom into an image (Seriously?! Did no one double check that before the release?).
3) In the previous LR version you could rotate images with the shortcuts in both directions without having to use two hands on the keyboard because the keys for both directions were right next to each other (, & .). Now the keys used for this are on the opposite ends of the keyboard (at least mine, which has a German layout).

I really hope you come up with an update to bring back the old shortcuts to rotate images.

Thx for this info.

I changed  $$$/Application/Menu/Edit/Preferences/KeyWin=Cmd+, to something else and now rotating images works fine for me even in develop module.

For italian keyboard I sugget to modify the file: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom Classic CC\Resources\it\TranslatedStrings_Lr_it_IT.txt

and find out the line:
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateLeft/Key=Cmd+["
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateRight/Key=Cmd+]"

and sobstitute with:
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateLeft/Key=Shift+J"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateRight/Key=Shift+M"

This solve the problem and match the indication of the Shift+H Windows.

Hi All,

The issue for keyboard shortcuts not working correctly for German keyboard has been fixed in the latest update of Lightroom Classic CC 7.2.
I would request you all to please make sure that you have Lightroom 7.2 installed  and let us know if the latest update fixed the issue or does the issue persist.
Regards
Tanuj Sandal

Tanuj,

I tested the rotate shortcuts for the five languages involved, DE, ES, FR, IT, SV. They all appear to have workable shortcuts (though someone using ES or FR should comment on the choice of Cmd + ]):



However, the shortcuts shown in Help > Library Module Shortcuts are still wrong for ES and FR.  Whoever edited ES and FR forgot to update the separate entries for that Help screen.

Also, in German, the Strg key is still incorrectly labeled as Ctrl in the shortcuts shown in the menus:



This is because of the following incorrect change in TranslatedStrings*.txt:
$$$/Win/MenuDisplay/KeyboardShortcutElement/Ctrl=Strg
=>
$$$/Win/MenuDisplay/KeyboardShortcutElement/Ctrl=Ctrl

Hi,

Lightroom Classic 7.4 was released today and should address this issue.  Please update your Lightroom to the latest version and let us know if you continue to see the issue. Thank you for your patience.

Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.4 was released earlier today and should have a fix for this issue. Give it a try and let us know if you continue to see this problem. Thank you for your patience!

I use an English keyboard. Since the last update many of the shortcuts are doing the wrong thing. 

For example, cntrl/shift U is supposed to Auto White Balance but now it exports a DNG. Other shortcuts are also performing the wrong task. While working on another LR bug Adobe support already reset my preferences and that did not fix the shortcuts problem.

[johnrellis]

In which language are you running Lightroom?

[johnrellis]

Also, please copy the first ten lines from the menu command Help > System Info, so we can see the precise versions you're running.

[GilmourB]

Running it in English. First 10 lines:

[johnrellis]

Strange. This is a long shot, but does this file exist on your system?

C: \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\Resources\en\TranslatedStrings_Lr_en_US.txt

It shouldn’t exist, but if it does, it could be the cause of your problems.

[GilmourB]

No, that file does not exist.

[johnrellis]

Then I suggest doing a reinstall, as suggested in your other thread.

[GilmourB]

Re-install fixed at least two of the bugs.
