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!

Hey guys,

Thanks for your reactivity! I'm running OS X Yosemite in English, with a French keyboard. And yes, the idea is union/subtract with the +/- keys of the numpad.

I'd be interested to see how it turns out. Please let me know!

Hi Jérémy,

This is a bug introduced during 2015 development. We're actively working on a fix. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Jérémy,

What OS are you running on?  What language are you running in?  What language is your keyboard set to?

If I'm understanding your post, you want to be able to either take the union of two shapes or subtract one shape from another, correct?

I'm not having any problem when I use the + and - keys for this.  You are, however, the second person to complain that there's a problem here.  I'd like to help get to the bottom of this, particularly since I cannot reproduce the problem on either Windows or Mac here.

Thanks,
David
