Shortcut Keys For Lightroom Collections
Adobe has gone nuts! In Lightroom there is a key combination for everything. There is even a key combination for taking the dog out and another one for feeding the cat but only if you have the left panel enabled with... in the collections...
As far as I have figured out there are 235 key combinations in Lightroom! And these Lightroom key combinations do different things depending on the context.
| Task | Windows | Mac |
|---|---|---|
| Create a new collection in the Library module | Ctrl + N | Command + N |
| Add to Quick Collection | B | B |
| Show Quick Collection | Ctrl + B | Command + B |
| Save Quick Collection | Ctrl + Alt + B | Command + Option + B |
| Clear Quick Collection | Ctrl + Shift + B | Command + Shift + B |
| Set as target collection | Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B | Command + Option + Shift + B |
- I have gathered this information from many, many sources including Adobe's own website.
I think that I have all the 235 Lightroom key combinations that work in Lightroom 2.x. The list is by functionality:
