Shift + Drag has been a staple action ALL of my working career, going on now for 25 years. Not only is it a consistent shortcut action across ALL Adobe application but it is consistent shortcut action for ALL applications form EVERY developer period for the past 3 decades. Deciding to change this function would be like switching "Control C" with "Control V" then telling us "well, with a few lines of code you can switch it back" Seriously, is that your answer???? This is the biggest stuff up in the history of stuff ups when it comes to updating software and "making improvements", and Adobe has made some monumental stuff ups. All Adobe had to do was place a toggle under "transform tool" to turn this function on or off which would allow the end user to decide if they wanted to use Adobe's latest brain fart idea or not. I have read some of the replies on this forum and they are calling this a "feature", I beg to differ. This is insanity, this is topsy-turvy land where "up is down" and "day is night". Adobe charges their customers an absolute fortune for annual subscriptions and the best they can do is allow us we can scale graphics without using the Shift key? I would hate to see what they plan to do next year... change the number on the box and add 30% to the price. I read in the forum above that someone said a majority of Adobe users like this change where are they getting their information from??? I did a quick survey in my office and all six users hate this change and can't fathom why Adobe would implement this without a toggle to switch it off.
