How many keyboard short cuts can you remember?

[davidedric]

In my case it's not very many. I realistically use no more than half a dozen. I know this may be down to old age, decrepitude, lack of practice and so on, but how many do you use regularly? In my case it is exacerbated by using a tablet (so the keyboard is not quite so easily in reach). And when I try to remember Photoshop commands as well, my brain stops working :meh:

Victoria has a complete list of Keyboard shortcuts available from her blog site:

Yes I know. I have them printed off. But I can't remember them. So I use the menus. Good grief, is it just me?

P.S. This is meant to be a bit off the wall in the Lounge :grin:

Within each module- [ CTRL+/ ] shows a shortcut screen.! (remember thats [CTRL+ the key with ? on it ].)

Also [ CTRL+, ] opens preferences (remember that's [ CTRL+ the key with < on it ]. )

When I am working in Lr, I use a couple dozen. But almost every time I start the application I have to go search for the shortcuts because I have forgotten them. Yes, I am that old...

No - you are not alone.

It's not just you! I wrote the shortcuts sheet and I can't remember most of them. I'd guess I can remember 50+, but there's a lot more I can't remember.

I use an app on the iMac called 'Cheat Sheet'. It holds shortcut keys for many apps.

Need a new keyboard for Lightroom?

 

[AndreasM]

As far as I remember I use exactly 2 shortcuts.

- "Quick Collection" which I assigned to Key Q
- and X for rejecting photos

Everything else I do with the mouse.
I even deactivated (where possible) most of the other shortcuts to make the menus less cluttered.

- just tried that on my Mac and it beeped! For me, it's Cmd / - very useful though.

This is a really nice web app that shows you shortcuts for Lightroom (and it's version based), photoshop and others...

For me, it's Cmd /

Thanks Snapper, yep I'm a windows guy, forgot you Mac crowd, so its Cmd/Ctrl + /
One shortcut to remember!

I actually use a programmable gamepad (Logitech G13) and programmed all my most-used keys into it... now they are laid out where I want them to be and I don't have to move my hand to reach them.

I can't remember many, but I just found this web site through the Adobe forums in a thread about shortcuts. I don't know if this will get to the right person, but I just wanted to say "Thanks!!!" Supplying the PDF is going above and beyond the call of duty and is greatly appreciated.

You're very welcome Steven - and welcome to the forum!

I'm losing the use of my fingers as each year goes by, I struggle more. I want voice control :whistling:

 

[Jack Henry]
