P: Keyboard Shortcut customization

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Enjoying the new CC for the most part, but one of the concerns I've got so far is that some of my most-used keyboard shortcuts have been changed.

For instance, I used to quickly cruise through new imports and use the Pick flag shortcut to find my selects. This used to be a very intuitive key—P—but in LR CC it's now...Z. And there's no way that I've found to change it back.

Could we please have configurable keyboard shortcuts? Or at least some sort of legacy mode so our muscle memory is still effective in the new environment?

@Rikk Flohr: Photography Could you provide any guidance?

This thread migrated from the previous Sprinklr forum at feedback.photoshop.com, where this request was reviewed by Product Management and was marked as "Not Planned". When the forum was migrated, that was mapped to "Declined". That is perhaps a poorer word but nonetheless conveys the meaning. 

At this point, I am unaware of a plan to harmonize KBSCs between Applications. No matter which app is chosen as canon, the users of other apps will not be satisfied.  Photoshop/Camera Raw/Lightroom Classic/Lightroom Desktop and Lightroom Mobile (tablet with an attached keyboard) would all have to be considered. 

This remains a feature request that needs more votes and justification for such a shift. 

My recommendation to @mlphoto.raw  is to vote and comment if you are affected.

Thanks for the quick response. 

I too use Lightroom Mobile, with keyboard attached sometimes, and there still isn't a way to adjust exposure or any of the sliders via key press.
Which for a casual user, to use their fingers to move sliders around on one or two images is fine, but as soon as you add hundreds/thousands of images, its extremely inconsistent. 

Yes LrClassic exist for that, but since I leave my main computer with LrClassic with ~100TB of photos at home, and while working abroad, use Lightroom mobile/CC with sync'd catalog to cull/edit, this change would boost my productivity considerably. Currently I only use mobile/CC for culling. Which is a missed opportunity. 

Again thanks for the official answer, perhaps other photographers who manage their image catalog wholly within the Adobe ecosystem will chime in and have similar difficulties. But I get a feeling most will download Lr Mobile or CC on their laptop & phone, and just give up and uninstall before voting, because of its non-cohesive shortcuts and UI to its Classic counterpart.

ps. Photoshop is beginning to implement a lot of the simple UI behavior such as double clicking on a slider will snap the adjustment to center, which was originally in LrC first. Additionally Adobe could appease dissatisfied customers of other platforms by harmonizing the KBSC, could just allow them to re-map their KBSC like Photoshop with their preferred buttons, if it were an option.

After diving down a rabbit hole about translatedstring files it seems there is no direct way or workaround to create or change existing Lightroom shortcuts. It seems like it was/is a feature in the classic version but only on mac and I would love to see this option on the cloud version of lightroom for both windows and mac

Hallo, bitte es kann nicht sein, dass ein und dieselbe Firma (adobe) in zwei verschiedenen Fotobearbeitungsprogrammen es nicht als wichtig erachtet, die gleichen Tastenkürzel zu verwenden bzw. zumindest ein Menü zum auswählen der Tastenkürzelversion anbietet.

Ich möchte zwischen den Programmen hin und her wechseln können ohne wieder neue TK lernen zu müssen. Das behindert doch meinen Workflow. Der Technissche support war der gleichen Meinung.

Bitte implimentieren DANKE !

You have no idea how frustrating it is not to have a one-key keyboard shortcut for Zoom/Unzoom. The Z key has been the standard 'Zoom' shortcut forever and you changed it in the Lightroom ecosystem/mobile. Please bring it back!

[mlphoto.raw]

I tried for a while to get them to make the keyboard commands the same, but it seems to fall on deaf ears.

I still would love this feature in mobile/lightroomcc, keyboard z for zoom, flagging same as LrC, and brush size adjustments, and slider adjustments via plus and minus key.

Hello everyone,

is there a reason why Lighroom Desktop doesn't have some keyboard shortcuts that Lightroom Classic does?

For example "Update AI Settings in xx Photos".

I'm repeating also here: if for Adobe Lightroom Desktop is an app useful also for pro photographers there is no meaning to not include some important features like keyboard shortucts or, for example, the LABELS!

[defaultbjhaap04b227]

Monthly subscription paying customer here. Keyboard commands between LRC and LR should match exactly such as "P" for pick.  Its ridiculous that this is not already the case.

[elianoimperato]

A lot of things are ridiculous. If you're paying a photography plan they're giving you Bridge without Camera Raw. They want you've a subscription to Photoshop to give you the possibility to use Camera Raw with Bridge. The same Camera Raw you can already use with Lightroom and Lightroom Classic. I think this is the most ridiculous thing!

Il est une honte que nous soyons en presque 2026 et que Lightroom ne permette pas de modifier les raccourcis clavier...

S'il vous plaît, changez ça, cela devient urgent !!!

The keyboard shortcut for removing from an album, "Backspace" and deleting from your library "Alt" & "Backspace" are very similar. 

Please consider making the keystroke shortcuts for these two very different actions equally different.
