Hello,

I am a new user o Bome Midi Translator and I am trying to set it up with mid2lr and Ligthroom.  
I used the Keystroke\_to\_MIDI\_simple.bmtp to connect with midi2lr and it was successful.  
However, Lightroom seems to receive both the midi commands as well as the native keystrokes when Lightroom application is in focus.  
eg. When I press F (which i have assigned to increase exposure in midi2lr) Lightroom increases exposure and then the image goes fullscreen (because F in the default shortcut for fullscreen in LR)  
So it seems that LR receives both and I would like it to receive only the midi commands

Thank you in advance,  
Dimitris

Hi and welcome to the Bome community!

Yes, you have quickly found out with keystroke to MIDI that the original keystroke is **not** suppressed. The best solution for this is to use an incoming keystroke that doesn’t natively do anything within the operating system or application.

You can also review [this thread](https://forum.bome.com/t/map-keystroke-to-midi-or-another-key-and-suppress-the-original-keystroke/5205) for other ideas.
