Feature Request: Bring back "Show Transform Controls" to the top toolbar

Yes i agree with all my heart and soul. please bring it back!!!!!

Not fixed yet, unfortunately. I've had to roll back to version 25.11 to get it back to normal. There is a Ctrl H shortcut, but it hides all including guides and transform bounding box so its useless if you're lining something up to a guideline and switching back and forward to line up graphic elements.

Note to any adobe dev's, have you's seen how cinema 4d manages it tools. I can drag and drop anything onto almost anywhere to fully customise the UI layout to my personal workflow. There's even a dropdown menu to change layouts at the touch of a button as I progress onto different tasks. Yes we can pull some tools into the side panels, but why you folks havent got this fully customisable feature on such a prominent application like photoshop is beyond me.

Has this been resolved yet? I also use "Show transform controls" constantly and having to click on the gear takes extra time. (For the record, I don't use any of the other options within the gear ever, only "show transform controls")  Is there a keyboard shortcut or any way to access it without clicking the gear?

There is SO MUCH ROOM in the menu bar... I can't get rid of auto-select (despite it being too clunky for me to use successfully after 20 years of trying), I still can't find a way to have the align menu default to canvas (meaning this is two clicks instead of one, every single time) and now you've abstracted the one tool I use every 10-15 seconds... Mind boggling.

To be clear: If the overall product strategy is evolving, fine - things change!

It doesn't matter whether you're nudging us all towards keyboard shortcuts, voice control or Neuralink, your job is to bring us on the damn journey. Onboarding... UX... You know the stuff you guys have been literally talking about for decades...?

Please move the transform tool back to where it was. Thanks

That's how much I don't use it LOL, I don't even know, I don't think there was a Move tool then and there was definitely no Options bar. I was just reacting to the previous poster saying it was one of the "most clicked boxes." Its good to remember that each of us has different needs and usage, and that a control I don't ever need is someone else's most clicked. Crazy!

Were the Transformation Controls for the Move tool available way back in PS 2.5 David? I thought this feature was introduced fairly recently.

Funny enough, I've been a Photoshop user since version 2.5 and never ever use that checkbox. Different approaches, eh?

This is the most infuriating thing I've ever experienced with photoshop, and I'm a user sense cs3. Its easily one of the most clicked box's in the UI layout, and they moved it behind a gear dropdown menu essentially killing all work flow, muscle memory and therefore productivity. Rolled back to a previous version, wont be updating again until someone see's sense.

Please revert back to how it one. Little checkbox on the toolbar.
