I have, up until I got CS3 and the new aluminum keyboard, not had any issues with this.
I have numerous, common actions recorded which have F keys assigned to as shortcuts.
F10, which turns sound off in the OS on an aluminum keyboard, overrides my Photoshop shortcut.
I've lost my 12 or so most common action shortucts in Photoshop because of this! That is about a 5% loss in productivity...
I try to assign a shortcut to a function using VBA. (I find the same problem when I do it through the UI of Inventor)
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item(...).OverrideShortcut
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item(...).OverrideShortcutType
when I assign "" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kNoShortcut
when I assign "D" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kAliasShortcut
when I assign "Ctrl+D" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kAcceleratorShortcut
So far so good but now:
when I assign "F11" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType becomes kAliasShortcut resulting in:
I have to type F 11 to launch the command. What I want is to Press the key F11 to lunch the command instead of typing F 11
(This works good with Ctrl+D but not with F11)
Can I work around this to use the Function key's ?
Have just upgraded to CC. can migrate my extensive shortcuts to CC from CS6. Also same applies to my actions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had such great luck getting a pencil tool frustration I've lived with for far too long fixed by simply asking a question here, so I thought I'd ask one more. I downloaded some actions from Adobe Studio Exchange. A couple of them "stole" normal function key shortcuts (i.e., clicking "f5" runs some bizarre "Polaroid" action instead of opening the brushes panel). That sucks!
I've just been immediately deleting actions whenever I've noticed this behavior--but is there any way to prevent that from occurring? I wouldn't mind keeping some of these actions around--but I'd *never* want an action to override a shortcut--nor would I ever *need* an action to even have a shortcut.
Is there a way to search for actions similar tot he layer search feature?
Is therea way to select all actions and remove the funtion key short cut associated with the actions?
I have two actions that I use quite often. I assigned keyboard shortcuts to them in the actions dropdown menu. However whenever I press the shortcut keys, nothing ever happens. I have tried changing the modifier key combinations...
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are starting a project that we will be preparing a site grading plan for.We are being provided with an ALTA Survey drawing that is on state plane coordinate system, and the existing topography that I will be using for my existing surface is on a UTM coordinate system.
The site grading plan needs to be on state plane coordinate system that the ALTA Survey drawing is on.
I haven't done it before but I understand you can use Map 3D and take drawings that are on different coordinate systems and have them line up properly.
If I have my existing surface in a UTM coordinate system and want to data shortcut it into my site grading plan that's on state plane coordinates, will that work?
I used to work with photoshop 7.0.
Since a couple of weeks I have photoshop CS.
But I can't use any of the shortcuts i used in 7.0.
I got the same problem (shortcuts stop working after a period of time while in photoshop and I need to restart photoshop to make it work again)But now, It occurs every 10 secs. I CANNOT use photoshop at all. Just as I open it I got 10 secs to use the keyboard and then its over.
Everything is fully updated, as well as drivers. Nothing has changed in my computer since the last post.
I just switch from CS3 to CS6 and I am missing some keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS6. I used to be able to toggle between a layer and it mask using (for PC) crtl ~Â Â Now, in Photoshop CS6, that shortcut switches me between the open windows. Ctrl still gets me onto the layer mask but no shortcut will take me from the layer mask back to the actual picture. I also can't even find the options in the shortcut menu to create a keyboard shortcut to toggleback from the layer mask.

CS6 fails to remember a keyboard shortcut after shutting down PS. Upon the next launch, the keyboard shortcut is not assigned anymore. When I assign a keyboard shortcut: Opt F3 to a script in File>Automate>Scripts>script_xxx the shortcut works fine until I shut down PS. The next time I launch CS6 the shortcut does not work. Going into the keyboard shortcut menu I find that under script_xxx there is no shortcut assigned. If I reassign the shortcut: Opt F3, it will work... until I shut down CS6. (rinse and repeat).
Does anyone have a concise list of photoshop shortcuts?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have same shortcut file for several years. The pattern is recent shortcut, always seem to disappear. They stick for a bit, between many lauchnes and quits of CS3, but then need to be re-added. I've done the delete preferences trick, I'm out of ideas.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've started using PhotoShop CE and am distraught to find that a good 80% of keyboard shortcuts do not work.
PhotoShop-specific shortcuts are OK such as 'v' for the move tool and 'z' zoom, but no command involving 'Ctrl' works,
nor do the left/right and up/down arrows for moving text or objects. These two specifically are crippling my work.
Is it possible to modify and personalize the keyboard shortcuts with Photoshop 7?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere's plenty of ways to zoom in and out of your images inside Photoshop, which ways suits you best?
I use CTRL SPACEBAR to zoom in,
and
CTRL ALT SPACEBAR to zoom out.
I'm also partial to the scroll wheel on the mouse.
For some reason on my Photoshop CS3 Extended, the shortcuts mess up.
It's probably me clicking something, but I don't know what it is, because I've always done the same thing as before and it only just started happening recently.
What's been happening is that whenever I want to use a tool like when you hit "Z" on the keyboard to activate the "Zoom Tool" it undos instead, like the "CTRL+Z" shortcut. Or if i want to use "P" for the "Pen Tool" it takes it as if i did "CTRL+P". But I didn't even do CTRL+anything, I only hit that one key. What exactly is the problem? Do i need to re-install Photoshop?
not even one shortcut works and that's quite irritating when using photoshop
even DEL wont work.
I have Photoshop CC through Creative cloud. My keyboard shortcuts stop working, then Photoshop really slows down, then crashes. I've been through Adobe support five times now, and it works for about 1/2 hour, then acts up again.Â

Layer panel window
Â
cmd-l : lock selected layer or group
cmd-alt-l: unlock selected layer or group
cmd-alt-c: copy layer style
cmd-alt-v: paste layer style
Â
Copy layer style is listed in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. For some reason it wants to raster shape layers so that's totally unusable.
I am using Windows 7 OS, running Photoshop CS6 standard 64 Bit, 12GB RAM, dual XEON 2.6ghz processors. I am experiencing problems with shortcuts. I also experienced the issues when using the Release candidate.
The issues I have:
The shortcuts will work intermittently and appear to be effected when using the layers palette. The issue relates to things like pressing the J for clone or B for brush. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont. Other times I get a chime noise/beep sounding when pressing the [ ] keys to increase the brush size. the brush will increase/decrease. The fix is normally to select the tool with the mouse and all is well for a while
Â
I seem to have found a pattern when this occurs - and is when I have been using the layers palette. An issue I can reproduce. For example I duplicate a layer, then select the new layer - add a blending mode then click on the new layer, old layer and try the merge shortcut - nothing happens. Sometimes I get the chime noise as well but still no merge. If I click off the layers palette and then attempt the above - the merge works perfectly.
Â
Equally if I attempt the merge of the layers without first clicking off the layers, and try to select say B (brush) I get the chime and the tool is not selected. Other times no chime and the tool is not selected. Again using the mouse to select it works ok
Â
What was an inconvenience is a real pain now, as I am slowing down to do the click off layers trick or double checking the tool is the correct one I am trying to use.
Â
Things Ive tried/figured out:
Ive ensured the kit Im running is technically sound and is not being created by a performance issue.I can reproduce this fault on different computers (all windows) I have tried resetting the workspace and removing all but the layers pallet, but the issue remains Ive even replaced the keyboard!! Even though the keyboard only has an issue in Photoshop.When running CS5 I did not have this issue, but the RC and the final version of CS6 displays this feature Ive closed all apps, with the exception of CS6 Photoshop to work out if is was an incompatibility - feature remains Seems to be related to using the layers palette, when not using the palette .
Like most virulent PS users, I have my own pet shortcuts. Prior to CS6 I saved them in a "new set" and specified that set as the shortcuts to use with no problem. With CS6 I save the shortcuts, they work, and a day or so later, they are not longer there. I recreate them, they work and in a day or so they disappear.
View 2 Replies View RelatedKeyboard shortcuts will work for a little while, then suddenly stop. I can still select tools 'manually', clicking the icons, but pressing P for the paint brush tool or E for the eraser will have no effect. So far as I can tell this happens at random. It has also been fixing itself at random, after some undetermined amount of time not working, but then it just happens again.Â

I'm on Photoshop CS6
Mac OS 10.7.3
I've got like 580 gigs of free disk space, and 8 GB of RAM...
Trying to move my PC CS5 Photoshop and illustrator shortcuts and workspace, and Photoshop presets, into CS6 on the mac pro retina,
PS & AI shortcuts and work-spaces,
PS presets (including brushes).
I really like the addition of the "recent places" feature in cs5 as browsing between folders, saving and opening new images has been a headache.
I would like to be able to set a specific folder that "Save As" opens. Often I am forced to continue to brows away from a folder that I do not want to save to and navigate back to the folder i need.
are there shortcuts to navigate (up and down) between levels? I've a Italian layout keyboard.Second, pressing spacebar the PAN function (hand). Can I also edit the shortkeys in order to temporarily activate "rotate canvas", that is not having selecting again the tool I'm using after rotating the canvas using the "R" key.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was madly working along, and suddenly, no keyboard shortcuts worked. I wrestled with this for quite some time. Then I realized that I had two layers selected, instead of one. When I selected only one layer, all my keyboard shortcuts returned and began to operate as normal.
Â
I'm just wondering whether this is a feature to protect the user from unwittingly altering more than one layer at a time, or whether it's a bug?
I have just started using my Photoshop CS6 (64-bit).
Â
I am trying to use Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to zoom in and out respectively, but nothing happens.
Â
Is there something that I should be doing before starting to use the keyboard shortcuts?
Â
PS: my OS is Win7 Ultimate 64-bit
After the latest update 14.1.1 x64, I've noticed that one of my F key shortcuts will no longer do what it is set to do. I have F5 set to open the Unsharp Mask dialog. If there are any layers present, pressing F5 delets the layer. If only the background is present (not a layer), Unsharp Mask opens as expected.
I can change the shortcut to shift/F5 and it works fine. Changing back to just F5 creates the same problem.

Saved my keyboard shortcuts (.kys file) from the computer at work.Put it in the same place at home, selected it it Photoshop...
When you go to save or open something in photoshop, I'd like to edit the "shortcuts" that are on the left hand side of the window (Recent Places, Desktop, User Directory, Computer, Network). I've altered those shortcuts in vista windows and would like to do the same for photoshop. I know that in OSX you're able to tell photoshop to use the operating system's window rather than photoshop's, is this possible on windows?
