17 June 2026 It's Lightroom update time again. There are some major new features, as well as bug fixes, new cameras and lenses.
See What’s New in Lightroom Classic 15.4, Mobile & Desktop (June 2026)? also How do I sync keywords? for more details. Note: Classic 15.4.1 now released with bug fixes.
Any more than 9 keywords?

No. Just add another set. It's 9 so you can apply keywords by holding the Alt/Option key and then hitting a number.

Crazy!
Thanks for the quick reply John
The more I use Lightroom the more I think it tries to do too much without doing the basics well!
By this I mean, it's a photo organiser, but it's browsing is too slow because of re-drawing.
It's a RAW converter , but it slows down in the same way when making adjustments due to re-writing.
It's a DAM, but you can only see 9 keywords at a time in any set?
All my humble opinion - of course!

With respect to the keyword sets, I agree completely. I've (among others) argued since day one for larger keyword sets, which are functional in all modules (at least Library and Develop).
That said, I've found that using the 'Most Recent' set, combined with the 'Suggested Keywords' panel, goes a fair distance toward satisfying my larger set wish.
Let your voice be heard at Adobe. File a Feature Request, the link's on the tool bar above.
