ToneKeys
In development · Current feature scope

Your adjustments, within reach.

The settings below are implemented locally. ToneKeys is still undergoing real keyboard and Lightroom acceptance testing, and a public build is not available yet.

Start with a function.

Search names and aliases, browse categories, record a shortcut and set the adjustment step and units. Unavailable adjustments explain what still needs verification.

See the same shortcuts.

Switch between the function list and four Mac keyboard layouts: MacBook / Magic Keyboard in US or UK, and Magic + Numeric in US or UK. They share one profile, and changing layout retains bindings on keys outside the visible keyboard.

Edit without restarting.

The keyboard and Cheatsheet use the same shortcut editor. Profile changes, import, export, Undo and Redo keep their revisions together.

Keep feedback optional.

Choose whether to show the adjustment HUD and set its size, duration, opacity and position. Normal adjustments show the action and amount; uncertain results use a brief separate message.

What is still being verified?

Exposure, Contrast, RAW Temperature, ratings, flags and color labels have representative tests in an isolated Lightroom catalog. Other adjustments and actions remain unavailable until their specific Lightroom context is verified; these development results do not establish a complete compatibility matrix. First-key reliability, held-key behavior, complete compatibility and performance acceptance are still in progress.

Scroll wheels, rotary controllers and other photo applications are future work. There is no advertised latency result yet.
