P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

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.

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

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

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"

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?

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.

Hey All, if you're using macOS, I think our application, Power Keys, would be a good fit for you. It allows you to make changes to develop sliders with keyboard shortcuts, personalize your keyboard shortcuts, and apply develop presets with keyboard shortcuts. There is a cost, but we have hundreds of happy subscribers who use Power Keys to edit faster. It's perfect for high-volume photographers such as wedding and portrait photographers. You can check it out here: www.getpowerkeys.com.

I think the answer speaks for itself...  Yet another requested feature that's been sitting for a decade that reminds me every time I use Lightroom what a PITA it is to work with pick flags when you're culling...  OR when you want to change magnification and you're used to the Photoshop shortcut...  I don't think simple features like configurability for productivity get much traction against glitz and hype...

It's been 13 years since this post.. what has the LR team been doing??

I certainly find it frustrating not to be able to do a couple trivial shortcuts that would speed up my processing or prevent me from regularly slapping myself in the forehead, but considering how many years some of this has been requested, and the total lack of response, I think we're beating a dead horse... 

I'd be happy[ier] if Lightroom just followed the same flow as Photoshop and made Ctrl/0 do a fit image instead of toggling the histogram - which in all the years of USING Lightroom I've NEVER needed to do.  That one I probably hit automatically at LEAST a half dozen times a day.

Another thing that would make culling faster would be to be able to put the UNflag that's currently on the "U", forcing me to take my hand off the mouse every time I need it when culling, on the "C" so it's RIGHT NEXT to the Reject on the "X".  I don't recall what the "C" does by default 'cause I don't think I've ever used that either... 

I've tried to get those in the translation file, but have never been successful.

It WOULD be nice to have a little more flexibility and control over the Lightroom editing environment.
