P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

[Guest]

Customizable keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom would be great. I just find it so confusing that crop and brush tools and things like that have such odd keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom. I understand that changing that all now would be awful for many existing users, but being able to override them like I can in Photoshop would be helpful. Doesn't anyone else out there find they use to wrong keyboard shortcuts in the wrong program?

Another alternative I've been using for more than a year now is LRSuperKeys. Works on both Windows and MacOs. One Time Fee, no subscription. It does not only offer keyboard customization, but also replicated Capture One's Speed Edit Keys-functionality.

I can see @Rikk Flohr: Photography updated the status last year to 'No Status'.

Rikk, can you please explain what's going on here and why there isn't a move to create customizable shortcuts for Lightroom? Is it really such a big pain on the back-end?

Seems like that's the most popular thing users seem to ask for, and 11 years of subscriptions, maybe it would be fair to address it?

I am currently doing a lot of work with photos in Lightroom Classic that require opening as layers in Photoshop. Whilst there is the ability to do this by selecting the images and then right click, scroll down and click on "open as layers in photoshop" I would like the ability to undertake this 'action' in a single click through the assignment of a keyboard shorcut.

Whilst in photoshop we can assign keyboard shortcuts to most if not all menu items this is not the same for LR Classic.

Request: Allow user assignment of keyboard shortcuts to menu and sub-menu items like "open as layers in photoshop"

@SJ_Pettit I recommended you to use Any Shortcut Plug-in by @johnrellis

Download it here : https://johnrellis.com/lightroom/anyshortcut.htm

.While we wait for Adobe you can have it today.

I think we're most all aware we can buy another tool for doing what SHOULD already be IN the tool.  Wow 'bout Adobe puts it INTO Lightroom.

It would be incredibly useful to have native support in Lightroom Classic for assigning custom keyboard shortcuts to individual Develop sliders—similar to the functionality provided by third-party tools like PowerKeys.

It also needs to be able to use modifier keys for finer or broader control, for example:

• Ctrl = smaller increments (precise adjustments)
• Shift = larger increments (faster changes)
