About Adobe Lightroom and its shortcuts

Lightroom splits into modules, and each has its own keyboard: the library for sorting, rating and finding photographs, and the editing views for adjusting them. The rating and flagging commands are the ones that matter most, because culling a shoot is a repetitive job the keyboard makes bearable.

Adobe ships both Lightroom Classic and the newer Lightroom, and they are different programs with different commands. Check which one you are running before trusting any list, including this one.
