Adobe Bridge Keyboard Shortcuts
Every Adobe Bridge shortcut, sorted by the job in hand
Adobe's online list of Bridge shortcuts leaves out most of the menu keys. Bridge itself has them all, in the keyboard map built into the application, so that is where I read this reference from.
Adobe Bridge Keyboard Shortcuts is a free 7-page PDF quick reference with 113 shortcuts in 7 sections. The Mac and Windows keys sit side by side on the same row, so it works on either machine.
The keys come from the default keyboard map in Adobe Bridge 2026, read in October 2026. This is the English preset, which UK keyboards also use. The mouse actions come from Adobe's own Bridge shortcuts page.
What the reference covers
Files and windows, including opening in Camera Raw
Editing, selecting and rotating
Viewing and moving around, workspaces and thumbnails
Stacks, ratings, labels and filters
Review Mode and the slideshow
The Keywords, Filter, Folders and Metadata panels, and the loupe
Review Mode has its own single keys for rating, labelling and rejecting photographs on the carousel, and they get a section of their own here.
Who it is for
These Adobe Bridge keyboard shortcuts are for photographers who use Bridge to sort, rate and rename files before anything goes near Camera Raw or Photoshop. If you browse folders directly rather than importing into a catalog, Bridge is a free download and the keys make it quicker still. Rating and labelling from the keyboard, stacking bracketed frames, batch renaming and opening a selection in Camera Raw are where most of the time goes, and every one of them has a key.
The PDF is searchable, so Cmd+F on a Mac or Ctrl+F on Windows finds a shortcut by name. Print it and keep it beside the keyboard, or keep it open on a second screen while you work. Each section starts from the job rather than the menu, so the keys you use together sit together on the page.
