Shortcut Keys For Using Secondary Windows in Lightroom 2.x
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 develop module...
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Open secondary window | F11 | Command + F11 |
| Enter Grid view | Shift + G | Shift + G |
| Enter normal Loupe view | Shift + E | Shift + E |
| Enter locked Loupe view | Ctrl + Shift + Enter | Command + Shift + Return |
| Enter Compare view | Shift + C | Shift + C |
| Enter Survey view | Shift + N | Shift + N |
| Enter full-screen mode (requires a second monitor) | Shift + F11 | Command + Shift + F11 |
| Show/hide Filter bar | Shift + \ | Shift + \ |
| Zoom in / zoom out | Ctrl + Shift + = / Ctrl + Shift - | Command + Shift + = / Command + Shift + - |
| Increase / decrease Grid thumbnail size | Shift + = / Shift + - | Shift + = / Shift + - |
