P: Pressing +/- to change path drawing mode does not work with Pen Tool

In previous versions of Photoshop you could press the + or - keys to change the path mode for the shape you're about to draw to "combine" or "subtract". This still works with the standard shape tools (rectangle, ellipse, etc), but not with the Pen Tool. Pressing the keys either does nothing or changes the currently selected shape to combine/subtract.

    This should be fixed in CC 14.2.2 or later.

    This is especially frustrating since changing via mouse is now a two-click procedure. I wouldn't have thought that space in the tool bar is at such a premium that path operations needed a drop-down. Especially while this shortcut is still broken.

    Lots of unexplained lateral moves in CC's vector tools...

    You're probably aware of this, but just to make sure: As far as I can tell this hasn't been fixed in CC 14.1.

    We are aware of this issue as well as the inability to set the path operation from the flyout with the pen tool prior to path creation. Sorry for any problems this issue is causing.
