Keyboard shortcut switching between develop basic settings

[eoldigs]

Hello,

is there a shortcut for the following situation:

Develop mode

---- Basic settings

------ Exposure - change exposure with arrow up / down keys. when finish...

-------- I like to jump to the next setting which is Contrast by just using the keyboard.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Leo

With the Exposure value highlighted, press Tab to go to Contrast, which will now display a highlighted value you can adjust with the arrow keys. You can in fact tab your way through all the open Develop panels.

To go backwards, press Shift + Tab.

Thanks so much! I tried different ways but never when highlighted!

That's interesting @Per Berntsen. I've always used , and . to move between the sliders. It doesn't require highlighting, but unlike Tab, only stays in the Basic sliders. The panel doesn't even need to be open for it.

Well, I didn't know about the , and . except that I've seen a message popping up every now and  and then about adjusting exposure or contrast with the + and - keys, after pressing , or . inadvertently.

After trying it out, I must say that I prefer the Tab method, part of the reason for that is that the + and - keys are far apart on a Scandinavian keyboard, and the arrow keys are conveniently close together.

@eoldigs  You can use the Shift key as a modifier when adjusting the values. It gives you increments of 10 instead of of 1, except for Exposure, where the increments are one third of a stop (0.33), without Shift 0.10.

This also works for the method described by @Sean McCormack .
