I've just discovered the existence of this shortcut but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

Just found this post regarding issues with Averty-keyboards. It doesn't work with Swiss German (Qwertz keyboard) either. I need to use the numbers above the letters. Shift+Num Pad does not work at all. Still no fix for that so the opacity AND the flow can be set over num pad?

I was questioning myself for the same problem. 
Is there any fixes now to allow the shift with the keypad?

THanks a lot

Pas de problème et vous avez raison à mon avis. En fait, je viens d'enregistrer un bug sur cette problème... On verra...

Bonne journée!

hah! Ok I got it....
Indeed, I'm using the keypad. :(
Not cool for all the azerty users.

Anyway, Thank you for the support!

That's the problem. Your French AZERTY keyboard only allows numbers WITH SHIFT, so you're using the keypad numbers for this functionality, right? The SHIFT+number shortcut for Flow doesn't work for the keypad. As I recall, there's a technical limitation which impacts therefore all AZERTY keyboards, but I'll double-check and log a bug just in case. I did just verify that this limitation is not an issue for the Swiss French or Canadian French keyboards, but they're both QWERTZ/Y.

Sorry!

btw, with the shift key, I can switch the tools without any problems.

yup, that's correct.

My CC softwares are in english but my OS is in french.
The keyboard is in azerty and I'm not using any applications to modify its behavior 🙂

Whoops! I'm so sorry!

So when you have the Brush tool active and press 5 and 5, the Opacity of your brush correctly changes to 55% but when you press SHIFT+5 twice, nothing happens, correct?

What language of Photoshop are you running? What language is your Operating System? How about your keyboard? Are you using any additional applications or devices to customize shortcuts or keystrokes?

Thanks,
David

And I can activate the airbrush mode to switch the numbers shortcut to flow
