I dropped in here to see if anyone else is as frustrated as I am by how virtually useless managing keywords is in Lightroom. Sadly, I discovered that the most recent post in one particular thread is... 8 Years Old and none of the asks that I read through have been acted on.
PLEASE address our concerns and overhaul/redesign the limited functionality of the Keyword List. We NEED a means to reorganize keywords that doesn't require us to select a keyword and then drag it uuuup and doooown.
Allow side-by-side display of the Keyword List, so that we can expand and collapse either list to facilitate moving and organizing keywords from and into either one.
I'm attempting to organize my keywords by grouping them under sub-keywords. As an example, I need to select and drag the keyword Zebra all the way up to nestle under Animals, which is cumbersome and annoying.
Furthermore, as one drags a keyword up or down the list, it becomes a challenge to stop at the word that one needs to nest under and becomes a ridiculous game of sneaking up and down so that it doesn't over or undershoot.
In order of Preferance
Suggestion #1
What I'm suggesting would work much the same way that Microsoft Explorer works with two windows open, allowing us to navigate in one to find eg. a document and then dragging that into a folder in a different window.
Suggestion #2
Right-click a keyword> Move> a text field opens up, which begins to autofill as I type and allows me to select that keyword to nest under
Suggestion #3
Similar to the Google Drive> Right Click Keyword/Document Name in a List> Organize> Move, feature
This is a SERIOUS issue, and your silence is extremely discouraging.
