After update Photoshop cc to 14.1 the shortcuts "F5" and "alt-F5" are "delete" and "fill foregroundcolor". Before I had F5 for brushes and now it's not possible to overwrite the "delete"-command. Brushes only works if you have mark an area which you can't delete.

After updating to Photoshop 14.1.1 suddenly my F5 key deletes the selected layer. I assigned my brushes palette to it, but now i can't change it back. Whatever i do it deletes a layer. I have tried resetting the keyboard shortcuts to default, searched the summary of keyboard shortcuts (no F5). Checked my actions (even deleted them from my actions palette, nothing works. Any ideas?

Thanks for the heads up! We will look into this problem.

In the meanwhile, I found that if you go to Window > Brushes and delete the shortcut and then replace it, things appear to return to normal.

This is a known problem that we are investigating.

I have a similar issue with F5, my team had F5 bound to an Action. Now we can't unbind the Default "Fill" action correctly to assign our previous Action again.

After I unbind "Fill" (Shift F5) through Keyboards & Shortcuts, F5 becomes "Delete".

My Actions are predefined with both "F5" and "Shift F5" so something funny is going on.
