I'm starting to use LR CC on my laptop to do some culling and light editing while I am away from my desktop (images originally imported into Classic and synced to CC).
First, there is no Auto Advance on rating/selects. That is a pain. For a quick work around you can set your view to exclude Rejected photos and so then if you reject it disappears and goes to the next. (The next being the last direction you were moving so sometimes that is going backwards).
PICK is no longer the P key, but is Z. It took me a while to figure what they were thinking, but I see they moved Pick and Reject adjacent so you could use two fingers. There is some sense to this, but my muscle memory makes it hard to get used to.
You can have two left hand fingers on Z and X and right hand on the arrows. Workable.
Sometime when I am Culling I like to do a quick Crop to remove something on the edge of the frame. R for Crop, right? No, Crop is now C.
So in one case they went more mnemonic (C for Crop) and in one case they went away (Z for Pick). In both cases moving away from the current Classic mapping. My advice to Adobe would be to keep both always in sync, to have keyboard mapping on both, and to recommend to users new mappings but allow the user to choose.
