P: Allow for keyboard shortcut customization

I agree adobe should make as people said in Photoshop but also like primere it's amazing how you can chose and edit your shortcuts. Can't can't how many times I by mistake pressed or held down CTRL P Or worse X. But no way to switch my flaging keys to something else or even shutting off all together. If you do something to much you can't even CTRL Z it and if you don't have a backup before of your catalog it's all lost. It's about time adobe fixes this. Make and allow us to choose what shortcuts do what and even shut off ones we choose. 

Sorry, back to flogging the dead horse..............  I'm on Windows, so I need to edit the translation file.

I'm looking at the translation file that's in resources/en.

I'm using the translation file in resources/es as a source to try to find the current key 'cause the english file doesn't have anything.

I'd like to do 2 things.

I'd like to STOP having the "z" key do "ToggleZoomView"  and have it do EITHER "NextPhoto" (preferrable) OR SetPick/Flagged.  When I press the z I want to go to the next image, just like it does when I press "x" to reject an image.  I don't care if the image is flagged or not, I just want hitting z to go to the next image.

If I CAN'T have ctrl+0 do a "fit" on the image, can I at LEAST have it do a ToggleZoomView?  SOMETHING other than toggling the #$%^&* histogram on and off.

This is what's in the Spanish translation file

"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ToggleZoomView/Key=z"

"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/SetPick/Flagged/Key=p"

Can somebody explain why I CAN'T do

"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ToggleZoomView/Key=Crtl+0"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/SetPick/Flagged/Key=z"

Are all these things locked somehow, or what IS going on?

So long as I'm in the keyword input field, letters are just letters and not shortcuts. Windows 10.

@JimButNotHim: "I'm sick of thinking I'm in the field to allocate a keyword, typing a keyword that includes D and finding I'm in the develop model. Other built-in shortcuts are equally annoying."

Do you find that if you explicitly click in the Keywording box and type "d", you're taken to Develop, or type "f" and taken to Full Screen Preview? A few others (all on Mac, not Windows like you) have reported similar symptoms:

The symptoms they describe are clearly a bug. If your symptoms are similar, as a next troubleshooting step, resetting LR's preferences:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

Follow up with your results (positive or negative) on that other thread.

Thanks.

I have installed the plugin, and gone through every category (and subcategory because it only shows the first 100 matching shortcuts). What a lot of work that must have been to create! 

I still cannot get rid of the fact that whilst in the library pressing F goes full screen, L changes to the next light mode, T hides or shows the task bar, Z goes to Loupe view (which is by default the shortcut E), and if in Loupe, G goes to Grid view.

None of those are shown in any of the sections within the edit screens, because I've changed them to blanks.

Single key shortcuts are an abomination. Thanks Adobe.

LrC doesn't allow to "Toggle to Fit"

The behavior doesn't exist.

Even via the API the best we can do is "Toggle to 100%" or do "Toggle Zoom" or do zoom step increments/decrements.

If there is a way to specifically set a precise Zoom to which to toggle to via the SDK then I missed it.

Then I'm not understanding what's needed 'cause this request has been out there for a VERY long time, and I've never been able to do it.  So, exactly HOW do I assign ctrl/0 to have the image "fit", regardless of the current magnification, in Lightroom?  In Windows 11.  Think in terms of "Lightroom for Dummies"...

@DavePinMinn 

With Any Shortcut you can assign Toggle Zoom to Ctrl + 0

Or very simply use the existing and more easily reachable kbsc "Z" to always toggle from the current zoom to Fit (assuming you've chosen "Fit" an not "Fill")

.

Interesting, but doesn't cover the a big Lightroom PITA - ctrl/0 toggles the histogram in both the library and develop module.  I can't recall the number of times I've wanted to "fit" the current image in the available space and hit ctrl/0 as in Photoshop and other tools.  Why Lightroom decided not to follow the already existing Adobe custom I have no idea, but so far I've been unable to find anything that would enable me to correct this #$%^&* decision.

@JimButNotHim

You can assign any KBSC or remove them but not those in gray.

Those ones are embedded in the code and unmodifiable not even by MacOs.

E.g I removed the "New Brush Mask (Brush) KSB completely.

Edit

Actually there are some KBSC that inexplicably can't be assigned but @johnrellis is tracking them, consult the plug-in info section "Known limitations and Issues"
