Adobe Lightroom keyboard shortcuts stickers
Clever design
I decided some time ago to order from Keyshorts a sticker for my iMac keyboard.
THE PROBLEM
The problem is that, although I love my iMac M1 keyboard, it is no helpful at all, when it comes to using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, especially since it is the Greek version of it.
So, I was looking for a way to have a visual reminder of the main Lightroom shortcuts that could be easy to use at the same time.
THE OPTIONS
Possible solutions would be:
A printed cheat sheet with Lightroom shortcuts.
Customize the shortcuts I use the most.
Stickers for my keyboard.
I chose the 3rd option, because the printed sheet would need some real estate on my desk and the customization would be rather another problem, than a solution.
Customize shortcuts
You can customize the keyboard shortcuts as you want, but that doesn’t mean it would be easier to remember.

THE COMPANY
When it comes to buy stuff online I really do my research.
Let me tell you friend, there are countless Lightroom stickers, no matter what type of keyboard you own. Paintings, custom designs by others, your own custom designs, specific stickers for almost any app, you name it.
I decided I would buy from Keyshorts, a Polish company that has great reviews and a large variety for your needs. You can even buy Large Letters Keyboard Stickers for Better Vision Access; these will be needed in a few years…

THE ORDER
Although there were hellish misunderstandings and delays with my order (good people at Keyshorts offered me a partial refund for the delay), it eventually arrived in my hands and now, after almost a year, I think I can write my objective opinion.
The first few days of sticking them onto my keyboard were difficult. I was so close to taking them off. It took me a while to get used to where the keys were, as if they were completely hidden. Along with the fact that my keyboard is Greek, as mentioned, and the stickers are not, you can understand that I struggled a bit.
Fortunately not for long. After a few days, I guess the muscle memory worked nicely and everything returned to normal.
As for Lightroom use, I have to say that it did untie my hands. The ingenious arrangement with colors and buttons helped me learn the last few shortcuts that were eluding me.
CONCLUSION
Today, I like them so much visually, that while I know the shortcuts by heart, I can’t get the stickers off.

Maybe I'll order a custom design next...
Of course, they also offer an array of products, like PC keyboard shortcuts stickers and some really beautiful skins for your MacBook.
Strongly recomment the stickers and the company. Proper buying and supporting experience.
