P: PS 27.4 Missing ALT keyboard shortcuts in Image > Canvas Size

In Photoshop 27.4, the new Canvas Size window is missing the Windows ALT shortcuts (pressing ALT+W to highlight the Width and ALT+H to highlight the Height). This happened in 25.4 with the Image Size window and was fixed due to complaints, so I’m assuming this was an oversight due to Adobe being MacOS-first, and I’m reporting it as a bug rather than a feature request. But these shortcuts are ABSOLUTELY VITAL to the efficient operation of Photoshop and CANNOT be forgotten about.

FOR NOW, you can turn “Modern User Interface” off to get the old Canvas Size window back, but for how long?

(Yes I know Microsoft themselves have stopped being as consistent about remembering to exclude them, and they’re off by default in Windows 11 Explorer and have to be turned back on. No I don’t care. They’re VITAL.)

    Hey, ​@Lee Saxon. Thanks for bringing this up. I’ve raised it to the team for review. 

    For now, you can go to Photoshop’s preferences > Technology Preview > uncheck ‘Enable Modern user interface’ & restart Photoshop to restore this function.

    Thanks!
