I'm recently having a problem in photoshop cs5.After a while in photoshop, MOST keyboard shortcuts stops working. the keyboard works just fine, but the shortcuts are'nt. All I need to do to fix it is to restart photoshop and it works fine again (until the problem occurs again).But recently, this problem occurs ever 2 mins. I've just started a design I wanted to finish with quickly, and I actually restarted photoshop at least 20 times.
btw, the only other applications running while photoshop is are windows media player, NOD 32 , windows photo viewer, and some other folders, thats it.
My keyboard often stops working while using PS6. Not all keys, just a random few. Things like pressing T for the type tool will stop working, the arrow keys will stop working. It's driving me nuts and seriously interrupting my workflow. Â Restart PSRestart MacDo something else for a bit and jump back into PS praying it might now be ok.The problem exists using the laptop keyboard alone, and while using a bluetooth(apple) keyboard.
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
Keyboard 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.  'Use shift key for tool switch' is already unchecked in my preferences.  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...
Some of the keyboard shortcuts are not working. Specifically, I'm talking about the shortcut to increase/decreases the brush size.
I found a sheet with all of the Photoshop keyboard shortcuts and it says that the "[" and "]" keys increase and decreases the size of the brush. But it does not work. I made sure the cheat sheet of shortcuts I found were for CS2. So I'm wondering how to fix this problem.
Most shortcuts of mine are working. But some, like print, color settings are not bringing up the appropropriate boxes. And the strange part is that the correct keys are listed in the menu.
how to draw in photoshop. But I've got a problem...Some of the keyboard shortcuts that are very important for this technique do not work. Specifically, I'm talking about the shortcut to increase/decreases the brush size. I found a sheet with all of the photoshop keyboard shortcuts and it says that the "[" and "]" keys increase and decreases the size of the brush. But it does not work.

i received a copy of Photoshop CS from my older sis as a birthday gift and everything is working fine except that my keyboard shortcuts dont work.... scratch that, the program is not getting input from any keyboard function i use, even beyond the shortcuts. i still have PS7 on my machine and it still running fine and working great.
Keyboard shortcuts are working sporadically. For instance, when using select all, copy, paste shortcuts to copy from one image to another in a different tab it can take 2 presses of the keyboard to get them to work. This also makes actions unusable.  Using MacPro 2.66 Nehalem 8 core, OS 10.6.8, 32GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4870  Have tried:  Adjusting Performance in preferences -currently 25062 memory usage, history states 20, cache levels8, cache level 1024, use graphics processor ticked. Have changed all of these settings with no effect on problem.  Closed all other programs(including all browsers).  Removed any plug-ins. Closed flash panels namely mini bridge.  Having to revert to an older version of Photoshop at the moment as dodgy Keyboard shortcuts make CS6 unusable. Also have a problem with Camera Raw which I have raised in another Discussion that makes it unusable also.
in CS6 the basic keyboard shortcuts such as Command C,A and V are either slow in working, have to be keyed in twice or are not working and have to be selected from the drop down menu. What's up with this? On a Mac OSX 10.6.8.
I have Photoshop CS2 (legal copy, not cracked) and installed Nero 9 (also legal) and realized that now my Photoshop keyboard shotcuts do not work. There aren't any errors or warnings. It is like I never typed anything at all. I uninstalled Photoshop and used nero's cleanup tool to uninstall all Nero components. I then re-installed Photoshop, but still no keyboard shortcuts. Like most people I almost exclusively use keyboard shortcuts where I can so this is a major handicap as I work. I don't want to have to completely wipe my computer and start over, but will if I must.Â
I do a heavy job about an into working on a comp my keyboard will stop working, every once in a while if I cmd + tab out of smoke and back into smoke it will do the same thing, but my mouse always works. The only way to really get the keyboard back to working is by rebooting the app. This is really embarrassing when you are doing supervised sessions and you have to reboot.
I installed AutoCAD LT 2013 on Friday. Everything was working fine until this morning. I found, as of this morning that my keyboard shortcuts don't work. eg 'l' to draw a line or 'e' to erase an object.
When I try to edit the acadlt.pgp file (Tools/customize/edit program parameters) I get the error message acadlt.pgp could not be found.
I read in another thread that after changed are made to that file the 'reinit' command should be run. on doing this i get the error message ' Dialogs are not available because DCL files are not loaded' .
I've used Photoshop 7 for around a year now, using it mainly to touch up digital photos. I've just upgraded to Photoshop CS, but I've found that I'm having difficulties with my keyboard.
Usually, to zoom in, I can press CTRL + +. However, when I do this, nothing happens. Also, when I make a mistake with the magnetic lasso tool, I can usually press my Delete key to undo the last fixed point. Again, this doesn't work. All that is on on my keyboard is "Number Lock", which just allows me to use the right hand number keypad. Even with this off, the problems still aren't solved.
Some of my keyboard short cuts do not work - for example Import (CMD-I), Export (CMD-E) make subclip etc...... things like JKL play work and mark in mark out etc...
Noticed Keyboard shortcuts not working from time to time in Inv 2011? It's ultimately frustrating because I cannot figure out what is causing the issue. Some times restarting Inventor or opening the keyboard shortcuts customize window works and sometimes it doesn't. Standard default shortcuts like "ctrl + p" for printing and custom shortcuts I have added both don't function in Inv. but work just fine in other programs.
Another undesired problem is after rebooting our machines the Project file is switched back to default.
I've just bought a new laptop (because my old laptop fell apart) and have installed Illustrator on it. For some reason, the keyboard shortcuts aren't working properly. I can't use the spacebar to get to the hand tool, and every time I use a shortcut to get to any other tool, my cursor pauses for a moment before I can move it again. I'm running CS2 (I know, I know; just don't have the money to upgrade) on a Windows 7 system. I specifically sought out a computer with Windows 7, because that's what my old laptop had, and Illustrator ran beautifully on it. This problem is really going to negatively impact my productivity.
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...
I'd like to assign keyboard shortcuts  Layer panel window  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  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 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
-Got Lion at work with Photoshop CS 5.1 Extended (12.1 x64 mac) -Got Lion at home with same Photoshop version. Â Saved my keyboard shortcuts (.kys file) from the computer at work.Put it in the same place at home, selected it it Photoshop...
This is my first post as I've been having a problem with my new Copy of CS2. I previously used PhotoShop 5 which had particular shortcuts which I have been using for years now but since purchasing CS2 I cannot use these shortcuts? I've explored the edit Shortcuts route but alas it doesn't let me change any of the shortcuts and some of them are not even listed. Code:
where I can download a list of shortcuts applicable to a German keyboard? Whilst I'm using an English language version of CS4 (in fact my OS (XP Pro) and all applications are also in English) I'm stuck with a German keyboard out of necessity.
I'm running Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit and PS CS2. I've been running the same copy of CS2 for a long time now but on XP. Now that I'm in Vista, some of the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work and I'm not sure why. I don't see anything in the FAQ about this, and I -know- they are valid, default shortcuts.
Two examples (I use these all the time since I work with a lot of small icons):
#1. Using the arrow keys to shift the current layer/selection over by 1px (or the Shift+arrow keys combo for 10px) doesn't work anymore.
#2. Using Ctrl + and Ctrl - to zoom in and out of the image does not work anymore.
Anyone have any ideas? Maybe Vista is overriding / intercepting the keys somehow?
I just installed Photoshop CS and except for my tool pallet, all my shortcuts are dead. My actions work but only by actually clicking the action button, not by the asigned keys.
