Handy reference to Lightroom 4 Keyboard Shortcuts

Sean A · 12th of March 2012 (Mon)

As we all know, there are approximately 2.4 bazillion shortcuts to LR4. Adobe documents most of them, but not in a way I would consider "user friendly".

So, I took the 10+ rambling pages of keyboard shortcuts from the Adobe Lightroom 4 site, and reformatted it down to fit on just five pages. I also tried to format it such that all of the commands for a module were on one page, rather than rolling across two or more. I thought I'd share it here in case someone else could benefit from it. I also printed it to PDF in case some folks don't have Word etc.

Cheers,
Sean

P.S. Apologies to the Apple users, but to make it fit I had to delete the column of Mac OSX commands. If someone wants, they could probably do a search-and-replace in the Word doc

Thanks for this, very useful !!!

Glad you like it. I thought the link above would open to both versions, but it is only the Word version (via web access, you can download it). Here's a link to the PDF version too.

Tip:
Help menu / Shortcuts brings up a list of the main shortcuts for the active module.

Yup! I do appreciate what the OP has done, though -- I like "help" aids scattered all around my desktop! And, it's cool to have one version in Word and another in a PDF!
