Just wanted to share this handy Photoshop Lightroom tip I came across while playing around in the menu bar. This one goes out to all you keyboard shortcut freaks out there. You know who your are (command or control+a)!

If you press command and forward slash (control + / on a PC) while in PS Lightroom, a menu pops up with a list of keyboard shortcuts. It can also be found up in the menu bar under “Help-(currently selected module) Shortcuts.” Cool huh? There is a different list of shortcuts depending on which of the five modules is currently active. To get the shortcut list to go away, simply click on the shortcut window to make it go away. Why even mention this? To save you the time of looking for the “close window” icon that doesn’t exist!

PS Lightroom doesn’t really give you an easy way to print out these cheat sheets if you wanted to do so. One way around this on a Mac is to do a screen capture (shift+command+4) of each shortcut list and combine them in Photoshop to fit on a single 8.5 x 11 page. Now you have a PS Lightroom keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet taped next to your monitor to refer to until you have them all memorized. Ok maybe not all of them but your most frequently used ones at least.
