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

In the latest update for Photoshop, the "Show Transform Controls" for the Move tool is now hidden behind a gear icon in the top toolbar. So, instead of one simple click, it now requires two clicks, slowing down workflow for those who constantly switch between seeing handlebar controls and not seeing them. There is plenty of real estate at the top of the toolbar to display all four options for the Move tool, so I'm not quite sure why this was removed in the latest update. But I sure hope the development team can bring it back!

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback on this one. I hear you loud and clear and will work with the team to see about moving Show transform controls back out from the gear menu. Stay tuned.

Regards,

Pete

Was very disappointed to see this ui change.

I know it's a small thing, but when you're photoshopping all day and toggle this setting often it becomes a constant nagging little detriment.

Yes a keyboard shortcut would be beneficial.

(FYI - the MORE things that can have a keybind the better. Keybinds are paramount!)

Agreed. Pointless. I feel no one at Adobe asked their core users if they wanted these changes.

This is an absurd rationale. Since its implementation, it has slowed down my—and others—workflow. Tell me, how is that an improvement?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Please bring this back asap - it's slowing down workflow.

Please just move it back to how it was. Moving it away was very unnecessary and extra. Please understand the average workflow of a long term photoshop user.
