========================================== Adobe Lightroom Classic keyboard shortcuts ========================================== First published at 10/1/2018 on https://defkey.com/adobe-lightroom-classic-shortcuts Adobe Lightroom is a image organization and manipulation software that allows viewing, organizing and editing large number of digital images. However it isn't a file manager like Adobe Bridge and it cannot operate on files unless they're imported first. Adobe Lightroom Classic has 273 shortcuts and we have listed all of them below.
