The keyboard shortcut for Paste in Adobe Lightroom is Command + V (macOS) or Ctrl + V (Windows). This shortcut pastes the contents of the clipboard into the current module.

The contents of the clipboard can be anything that you have copied, such as a photo, text, or a selection of photos. When you paste the contents of the clipboard into Lightroom, it will be placed in the current module. For example, if you copy a photo from the Library module and then paste it into the Develop module, the photo will be added to the Develop module.

Here are some examples of how to use the Paste shortcut in Adobe Lightroom:

Paste a photo from the clipboard into the Library module: Copy a photo from another application or from another module in Lightroom. Then, switch to the Library module and press Command + V (macOS) or Ctrl + V (Windows). The photo will be pasted into the Library module.
Paste a selection of photos from the clipboard into the Develop module: Select a group of photos in the Library module and copy them to the clipboard. Then, switch to the Develop module and press Command + V (macOS) or Ctrl + V (Windows). The photos will be pasted into the Develop module.
Paste text from the clipboard into the Metadata panel: Copy text from another application or from another module in Lightroom. Then, open the Metadata panel and press Command + V (macOS) or Ctrl + V (Windows). The text will be pasted into the Metadata panel.

The Paste shortcut is a versatile tool that can be used to paste a variety of items into Adobe Lightroom. By using the Paste shortcut, you can quickly and easily add photos to the Library module, add text to the Metadata panel, and paste selections of photos into the Develop module.
