If, like me, you use Lightroom in English with a non-English keyboard, go to step 2.If you want to modify shortcuts for an existing language, just open the corresponding folder, and edit the file TranslatedStrings_Lr_.txt within it.It contains subfolders for different languages (fr for French, es for Spanish, and so on…), as well as Settings, CameraProfiles, etc… On Mac, you’ll have to search for the corresponding folder location or create a system shortcut.Ĭ:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom Classic CC\Resources The following instructions are for Windows. It requires a bit of work, but I think it is worth it to enable some shortcuts. That said, though Lightroom doesn’t offer a simple way to change shortcuts, it is possible to do it.
One such example is \ on French keyboards, which requires the use of the alt gr key. While I do not recommend customizing shortcuts just for the sake of it, the problem is that on some non-English keyboards either the shortcut key is missing altogether, or it the symbol is accessible only through a combination of keys and it is thus unusable as shortcut. However, unlike those other applications, Lightroom doesn’t offer a way to change the shortcuts. As Photoshop and other Adobe applications, Lightroom makes extensive use of keyboard shortcuts to allow users to work more efficiently.
