P: Pathfinder handling with keyboard keys (previously available)

Simple issue: you create a vector shape, and then another one in the same layer, and you want to subtract the latter from the first. There's a "mouse" way to do it (on the "Path operations" button on the top), and there used to be a "keyboard" way to do it, with the +/- keys on the numpad. I used it all the time, it was very handy.

Since Photoshop CC 2015, it doesn't exist anymore, and it's very annoying. Please, Adobe, put it back! Thanks!

Hi ! 
To be honest I am new to photoshop, I've been using photoshop for some time now but there was this option in it called 'Objects' at the top near Edit but in the 2015 release there is this 'Image' option there, I wanted to use the 'divide object below' since it was in path which was in the objects section which went missing in photoshop 2015 version(Its just me who cannot find it)

The remaining issues with shortcuts should be solved by the CC 2015.1 update that was released today: https://blogs.adobe.com/photoshop/201...

Great to hear you guys have repro'd it on Mac too. I REALLY look forward to this being fixed!

I checked just now, and it happens for both paths and shapes on the Mac.

Sorry about that.  In my experience, broken shortcut keys are usually the result of some other app hijacking them.  Wacom tablets tend to be chief among the usual suspects.  There are a couple of side-car apps that they install which grab keys to enhance functionality, but have an issue "sharing" with other applications (not just PS).

Thanks,
David

Yeah, I was looking at the paths version of this bug (Windows only), but I can now repro on Mac as well with shapes.  Working with Foster on this.  Thanks for all the info!

Ah, ok. I'll have to double-check my work, then. Thanks for the update.
