    Hi eldar,

    If you're using Before and After, the keyboard shortcut for:

         Settings > Copy After's Settings to Before

    Already exists in Lightroom: Command-Option-Shift-Left Arrow.

    Is this what you're trying to do, or am I missing something?

    Michael, thank you.

    I do it.

    Step 1: returning to the state of the history I need.

    Step 2: press shotcut. CMD+OPT+Shift+Left

    Step 3: return to the last state.

    Step 4: compare two versions of the photo.

    This variant workflow runs. Thank you.

    I want to automate recurring actions and to speed up the processing of  editing photos.

    My workflow for compare two states: "before" and "after":

    1 step: I use the context of menu "History": "Copy History Step Settings to Before"

    on any step of history by clicking on the button of the mouse.

    (screenshot 1)

    2 step: I use key  "\" on my keyboard. (screenshot 2)

    For example, I was able to configure hotkey "CMD+T" to select the mode "red eye" and works it. (screenshot 3)

    I would like to configure a hotkey for command "Copy History Step Settings to Before" in MAC OS in Lightroom.

    And use this hot keys "CMD+G" with keyboard. But I can't becouse I don't know what to write.

    Have you tried the built in shortcut I mentioned? Command-Option-Shift-Left Arrow should do what you want.

    There are no programmable keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom.
