Photoshop :: Spacebar Shortcut / Hand Tool Showing But Not Working

May 15, 2012

Running the CS6 trial on a Windows 7 Laptop (x64). I was in Photoshop (64), and noticed that when I held down the spacebar to pan the open image, the hand icon would show but the tool will not work. No matter how many times I click and drag, the image stays still. If I select the MANUALLY select the hand tool it works, but the spacebar shortcut key is non-functional. This issue persists across both the 32 & 64 bit versions of Photoshop.

Photoshop :: Hand Tool Not Working Properly?

Mar 27, 2012

For some bizarre reason, no matter what tool I select in the tool bar the only icon that will show up on the canvas is the hand tool, I can't change it and consequently I can't do anything but move the image around.

I have installed all the updates and patches, I have tried everything I can think of to solve it and get back to work but no other tools will work.

Photoshop :: Scrubby Zoom And Hand Tool Stop Working Out Of The Blue

Feb 12, 2013

I checked my preferences and OpenGL is enabled, so I don't understand why it randomly stops working when I'm trying to get work done. Been working for less than four hours today and have had to restart Photoshop CS5.5 6 times. It starts working for a little while, then the "Scrubby Zoom" box becomes greyed out and the shortcut doesn't work as well.

Also when I hit space (hand tool) to drag the image around, that stops working at the same time as the zoom. I'm using an Intuos4 with this, haven't had problems with it until recently but there haven't been any significant changes in my machine (PC), which has a nice graphics card, processor, etc. I'm using Google Chrome, maybe it has something to do with my browser being open at the same time as PS?

After Effects :: Hand Tool Stops Working Randomly (CS6)

Mar 11, 2013

So I'm working on this composition with a lot of 3d layers. Sometimes when I switch views, the hand tool stops working completely, for no apparent reason. I hit space, the hand icon still shows, but nothing happens when I drag the cursor. Then after a while it starts working again, for no apparent reason either.

Photoshop :: Tool Icons Are Disappearing On Screen / Proper Tool Icon And Function Is Not Showing Up And Working

Mar 2, 2013

I am experiencing two problems. One is the tool icons in Photoshop are disappearing on the screen. I move the cursor and see nothing on my screen.
 
The second problem is at other times the proper tool icon and function is not showing up and working. I select for example the pen tool and the hand tool icon show up and the function works as the hand tool not the pen tool?

Lightroom :: Cursor (Pointer) Showing As Hand (Move Tool) Instead Of Pointer?

Jan 10, 2014

How do you change the characteristic of the cursor from Hand (Move Tool) back to just being a pointer?  This condition only exists in the Develope Module when my cursor is placed over the top of the photo.  When I move it off the photo it returns to a pointer.  In the Library Module it is always a pointer like I like it to be.

Photoshop :: Launching CS6 Macos 10.8.3 Causes Spacebar / Enter And Arrow Keys To Stop Working

Mar 25, 2013

i have a mac air 10.8.3 with cs6 V13.1.2 x64. The machine is running fine. I use an external usb apple keyboard, which is brand new (having just been returned from apple after a warranty case).
 
Launching Photoshop causes the space bar, the enter key, the up-down-left-right keys to become unresponsive to the entire operating system, even after photoshop is closed. Restarting the mac resolves the issue. Photoshop is the only foreground application launched, nothing else is running (other than background services and things like dropbox, sip, etc).
 
The issue affects both the external usb keyboard, and the in-built keyboard.I have tried deleting my photoshop prefs file, which makes no difference.
 
I have noted that bringing up the keyboard viewer ( Keyboard preferences > 'show keyboard & character viewers in menu bar'; then from the icon choosing 'Show keyboard viewer' ) will not show the key as being depressed. CLICKING on the SPACEBAR key, the ENTER or ARROW KEYS in the keyboard viewer also does not work!

Photoshop :: Spacebar Adds Extra Letter - Type Tool?

Apr 25, 2013

I am using the type tool in Photoshop CS6 (windows XP pro) and I am running into this weird issue. I have never seen anything like it before. It isn't my keyboard or computer, it only happens in Photoshop. When I am typing and I mess up and use backspace to delete a character, the next character I type in gets doubled. Random letters will pop up as well - such as when I type "S", the letter "U" shows up... when I press the spacebar, it adds an extra letter instead of a space (the following letter or previous letter used). The cursor gets placed before that second character too. I can delete it using backspace or delete but then if I press spacebar to continue, it shows up again and again. I can't get rid of the extra characters!
 
I've tried activating and de-activating various key locks on my keyboard to no avail. Is there some button I pushed or weird formatting I somehow accidently implemented?

Photoshop :: Working In Photoshop Disables Spacebar?

Jul 13, 2009

I've only recently begun having this problem, less than a week ago.Having used CS3, and having had CS4 for a while, I've been continually using it, bot now, it turns on my spacebar and sticks it in the "ON" position. Closing Photoshop doesn't help, as the spacebar is continually stuck on.

Nothing is new, tablet's the same, keyboard's the same, have had all hardware + software components for roughly the same amount of time, but it's only begun acting like this now. Just as an example, when I mean the spacebar is stuck on,

I mean that everything typed looks like "             t h   i s     " and the spacebar is simply just autopressed, but it's not a physical problem on my keyboard, and ONLY occurs when I open up Photoshop; no text-box is safe, nor any menu; in fact, because the spacebar is 'on', I don't even bother to open an internet window, as it of course, automatically scrolls down to the bottom of the pages.Restarting the computer fixes the problem, until I want to do anything in Photoshop again. ;c Suggestions/fixes?

InDesign :: CS6 Hand Tool Gets Stuck And Can't Use Selection Tool

Sep 7, 2012

In Indesign CS6 using Mountain Lion, the hand tool appears and I can't select or work with any other tool. All I can do is move the document around. After trying the space bar and other key commands I restarted and it worked for a while. Then it happened again. I work on a Macbook pro, so when I removed the mouse and worked only with the trackpad there was no change. When I quit and reopened, no change. I then deleted prefs and restarted and it worked, but it's been happening from time to time. Any other fix without restarting or deleting prefs.

Photoshop :: Cs4 Hand Tool

Oct 31, 2008

i have recently upgraded my computer with a new mb, 8gb ram, clean install of vista 64 bit and cs4. after initial problems with screen lag i installed a new graphics card and all seems to be working fine. problem is using the hand tool. i was accustomed in cs3 to comparing two files side by side, let's say the same image with two different levels of sharpening. i was able to view both images at 100% and using the hand tool move each image independently. this made comparing particular areas of the images easy. in cs4 when i open two images and use the hand tool it moves both images at the same time.

Photoshop :: Hand Tool Bug

Mar 17, 2009

My cursor is showing the hand tool no matter what tool is selected. And the tools of course do not work then. PS restart does not help, I have to restart the PC (Vista 32 Ultimate).

I read about this problem many time in the web. Why isn`t there any solution? Even CS4 11.01 has this bug.

Photoshop :: Hand Tool In CS4

Mar 5, 2009

way to use the hand tool (or spacebar) even if the entire image is visible, like you could do in previous versions. One might wonder why you would want to pan if you can already see the entire image. This comes up when one of your layers is bigger than the main image. If you try to Transform the layer, but the transform handles are off the edge of the screen, you need the hand tool. Otherwise you have to zoom out even further to get at the handles.

Photoshop :: Hand Tool ? PSCS

May 17, 2008

I start up the program (Photoshop CS) the hand tool is selected. No matter what I try I can not select any other tools at all. I've been trying to self teach myself this program for about 6 months and I've never chosen to use the hand tool at all, so I never intentionally set anything to make it default or anything like that.

Photoshop :: Vista, Hand Tool And Lag

Aug 30, 2008

I just got my new computer, which is much better then my last comp. It Had Vista Pre-installed un like my last computer that had XP. Photo shop runs perfectly fine until I use the Hand tool to move about the image. After that the Brushes lags a good half second behind where i make the mark. If I minimize then maximize photo shop the problem is gone. But i Use the hand tool ALL the time and minimizing and maximizing repeatedly is not a viable solution.
