Lightroom 2.x - Remapping Keyboard Shotcuts & Modifiers (Mac)

A short tutorial demonstrating how Lightroom keyboard shortcuts can be remapped using the Keyboard and Mouse panel in OS X 10.4 and 10.5 System Preferences.
The tutorial also includes details on some of Lightroom's less obvious shortcuts and modifier key combinations
Link to tutorial

Just wanted to clarify. You can quickly change the settings for they way the "F Keys" are used.
Got to System Settings-->Keyboard & Mouse.
Make sure the keyboard sub-tab is selected and check:
"Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features
When this option is selected, press the Fn key to use the F1-F12 keys to control hardware features."
The only downside is then you have to use the function key to change the volume. All and all, it's still a better choice for me.
good luck

  • Difficulty remapping keyboard shortcuts on OSX

    Pretty obscure problem here. I am trying to use the little-known OSX built-in method of remapping keyboard shortcuts (System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>Application Shortcuts) to customize things, specifically to add a shortcut to access the add-ons menu. I did this a few weeks ago and I see my shortcut next to the menu item, but triggering the shortcut never opens it up. I see the Tools menu flash, but nothing ever really happens.
    As far as I know, the problem isn't exclusive to the Add-ons item. I have also noticed this same problem with Thunderbird. It worked with the old Unsanity Haxie, Menu Master, but this is not compatible with 10.6. (I am running 10.6.4)
    I'm guessing that this is some kind of underlying problem with the Mac version of both products. Any help or referral to where I can report this is appreciated.

    I'm getting this problem with the PasswordMaker plugin. I had the problem before attempting to remap keys. I remapped keys with the suggested keyconfig extension in an attempt to solve the problem, but no dice.
    FF version 3.6.3
    OSX version 10.6.6
    Other items in the Tools menu work. PasswordMaker fails with the problem described above:
    'but triggering the shortcut never opens it up. I see the Tools menu flash, but nothing ever really happens. '
    The extension works on all other OSes I have tried (Win XP, Win 7 and Linux Ubuntu.).
    I've seen this behaviour before when a modal task in Photoshop (text editing) was blocking shortcuts.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
    I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
    I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
    I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
    When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
    Heading Import Results
    Some import operations were not performed
    Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
    then a description of the image with file name
    Box Save As                                  Box  OK
    If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
    To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
    Thanks if you can can help out.

    Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

    I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • HT1338 I bought a new Mac Mini and tried to pair my keyboard with the Mac Mini. They will not pair via Bluetooth. What is wrong?

    I have recently bought a Mac Mini and tried to pair the new apple wireless keyboard with the Mac but after trying 6 times no luck. What can I do about this?

    try this method:
    You need at least a USB mouse. If you don't get any option to pair a keyboard, click through the setup until you get to the "Create Your Computer Account" screen, right click in any of the text fields and select Substitutions --> Show Substitutions.  From there click on text preferences.  The preferences pane will popup and from there you can just click the back button (next to show all) to get to the full preferences menu.  Next click on keyboard, then select setup bluetooth keyboard and you're golden.

    I don't think you are going to find this anywhere in the US.  In any case, only the place where you buy your machine can tell you what is available, and you are not talking to such people in these forums.

    Hi, I have just loaded Lightroom 5 from the disc onto my Mac.  every time i try and launch the application, it goes to the registration/licence window.  i have input the data five times already.  When Lr5 launches the update window appears, when i try to do anything the following message comes up: - An error occrred when attempting to change modules.  What do i need to do to fix this?

    Masher please use the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed then please download Lightroom 5.5 from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 and reinstall.

  • Using an iPad as a Bluetooth keyboard for a mac?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to use a new iPad as a Bluetooth keyboard for a mac?
    I am aware there are a few apps that claim to do this over wifi however I am looking for a Bluetooth solution that would be more permanent?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not aware of any way to do do this. There are, I believe, some apps that allow you to remote into a computer and control the desktop, but that's not quite what you are looking for.

  • My Mac notebook does no longer recognise my external keyboard which was connected by a USB cable. I have checked the keyboard on other Mac notebooks and it works fine. Any suggestions?

  • What os does lightroom and photoshop run best on?  Mac or PC?

    What os does lightroom and photoshop run best on?  Mac or PC?

    I don't know to which project files you are referring but:
    The Lightroom Catalog (a single file on both)
    The Previews (a single folder on both)
    The Smart Previews (a single folder on both)
    Presets, Settings and Such (in identically nested folders within the OS construct on both)
    Take it from an experienced user in both OS's. Mac simplifies somethings - PC simplifies others.

  • Moving photoshop elements 12 and lightroom 5 from windows machine to a Mac Pro

    Is it possible to transfer licence from the windows machine to the mac?
    The Lightroom version does appear to be a windows/mac version but the serial number won't activate the product.
    The Photoshop Elements was actually a windows version so perhaps that is more excusable.
    But is one really expected to either buy this software again or just forget about them all together?

    For Lightroom and Elements your license covers both Mac and Windows.  You do need to install the appropriate version in each case however.  I Windows version will not work on a Mac, and vice versa.
