Feature Request: Allow custom touch gesture mapping (e.g., two-finger double-tap → Undo).

"I’d like to request a feature to customize touch gestures in Photoshop. For example, I’m used to Procreate’s ‘undo’ gesture—a two-finger double-tap—which is much more convenient than swiping with three fingers. Could you either add this as an alternative option or allow users to remap gestures manually?"

Please add customizable touch gestures in Photoshop (e.g., two-finger double-tap for undo, like in Procreate). The current three-finger swipe is less intuitive.

Does anyone else miss Procreate-style gestures in Photoshop? Adobe, gesture customization would be a huge QoL improvement!

Thank you for the news And, in general, for the promptness! I'll keep trying. But I would like such a gesture to appear on Windows versions of the program. I will still use this version on PC and laptop. I really hope for her appearance!

Question: Any way to remap Photoshop gestures to mimic Procreate's intuitive flow in this setup?

No, not currently. Your post is in Ideas where staff will see it and others can upvote it.

 

 

No Android version of Photoshop exists (and likely never will)

 

You'll be happy to know that this is not true! Photoshop for Android devices is available for beta. Details here:

The Topics in the Photoshop Beta forum are different from the ones in the released version and include "Android".

Let us know if gestures work in the Android version.

Hi. I use Photoshop on an HP Elite G2 Windows tablet (or streamed from my PC) to a Samsung Android tablet (running Procreate-like apps with identical gestures). The only hiccup is Photoshop's clunky gesture system that feels unnatural in comparison. Key points: No Android version of Photoshop exists (and likely never will) iOS is not an option for me Question: Any way to remap Photoshop gestures to mimic Procreate's intuitive flow in this setup?

I see that you applied Windows as your topic, but Procreate is iPad only and does not run on Windows.

 

Photoshop for iPad uses double tap to undo. (I just tested.)

 

Are you using the desktop version or in the iPad version of Photoshop?
