P: Preferences to turn off auto-commit and double click to edit text

It's cool that you guys added the addition to auto commit and double click to edit text but please add into tool preferences the ability to turn this off. I just downloaded photoshop 2019 and I keep accidentally editing text instead of moving it and then when I'm rotating or scaling objects it will auto commit for me when I didn't want it to.

Also can you please put other things in preferences to like scaling using the shift key and other things that were changed for usability? People that have been using the program for a really long time are used to it working one way and then just changing it to the opposite is really tough to get used to. Would be very nice to have the option to turn these things on or off depending on if I want them to work a certain way.

    I concur. I don't mind adding more options for things but please allow us to turn the new options on or off in the preferences.

    As someone who heavily uses right-click to select layers, this is VERY problematic when you select text layers to move them.

    Heck, shift key scaling is the standard since GUIs came along. I remember using it for MacPaint back in the 1980s. It's muscle memory and should be an option. 

    PLUS when you are trying to stretch an image such as a shadow and forget to use the shift keys while doing it, the image doesn't stretch in one direction. So enraging!

    It's kind of like unilaterally deciding that the shortcuts for Cut and Paste are too old school to be cool.
