Support for more shortcuts
« on: September 05, 2023, 12:24:07 AM »
Dear PhotoMechanic Team,

I'm using PM now since many years and do still love the program. However time changes, new tools are available and it would be great if PM could go with time.

In my current scenario, I want to use a Loupedeck CT to speedup some processes or to make it more comfortable. In another posting here you already wrote that PM is not planning to support the plugin API of the Loupedeck. That is pity but not a doomsday. However it would be more than just a little helpful if you then would provide more keyboard shortcuts. So your users could create a profile for the LP. For example:
  • reset sequence var
  • filter by stars /color
  • resize the crop via keyboard
  • rotate the crop via keyboard
  • ...

There are many other features that I'm unable to access via a shortcut. Unfortunately!

And also (this is an annoyance since the early days): please use shortcuts that are usable even on non-english keyboard layouts (e.g. rotate photo CW is CMD+]). It is not possible to use this shortcut on a german keyboard because the '[' and ']' are accessible via a pressed shift key only. So it's necessary to press CMD+SHIFT+] - but this shortcut fails and is not working.

Please improve here!

Thx and best regards,
Lars

I'm all for shortcuts!

Make it like Davinci or Capture One, where anything can have a shortcut and almost any shortcut can be changed
