Hi,
I've updated to the latest version (Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.2.0 20241207.r.140 bc85906 arm64)
And I still have issues with these shortcuts.
None of the solutions mentioned here work.
(deleting or changing the layer boundary thing, etc...)
Furthermore, changing shortcuts seems to be disfunctional overall. For example: deleting the shortcuts for next or previous brush doesn't work. It shows as deleted but in practice the shortcut is still active.
(I work on mac with French Azerty keyboard by the way)
Any help would be much appreciated

@CShubert  Thankyou .Regarding the issue with the bracket keys not changing size I eventually found out it was the fact that caps lock was on which orevented the bracket keys fro working correctly.

Hi @Bomber33, based on the current version...

Even though you have Ps beta 25.12, there are updates to the application about two times a week... the number 25.12 does not change, but the version of that number does... if you go to Help/System Info, the first line will show you the current number, for instance... today we are on Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.12.0 20240804.m.2723 e6072fa arm64... it is the m.2723 that means this is the newest... the last version was m.2719.  We hope that clears that part up.

 

Thanks,

Cory - Photoshop Product Manager

@CoreyShubert Thanks for your reply.This might sound silly but how do I know if I,m downloading the right version as you've stated because when you go to updates page only the version number is shownand none of the details that you show. Thankyou

This same issue now is happening in the live photoshop 25.11 and it's now messed up my workflow there, too. I cannot access my custom keyboard shortcut.

[ & ] brackets as hotkeys no longer seem to control brush sizes as they always have

It's a known issue.  Open Edit >  keyboard shortcuts > Tools and scroll all the way to the bottom, and remove the [ and ] shortcuts from the Layer Boundary commands.

Out of interest, what version are you using?  I'm wondering if this was fixed with the 25.12, m.2694 update.

Same here. I've just ditched the Beta and went back to the normal Photoshop
