P: Feature Request: Keyboard modifier reminders in Photoshop (other apps also requested!)

Would there be a possibility to list all the possible modifiers as a contextual reminder at the bottom (or anywhere else).
For example, when you choose the direct selection tool in Photoshop, it would list want you can do if you press ALT, SHIFT, or CTRL (windows)
see how it works in another software (competition)

I think it wouldn't hurt and would greatly simplify the leaning curve for beginners (but not only, sometimes brain farts occur!)

It take so little space, and would likely be hidden if one wanted to (pretty much like rich tool tips)

Some users come from a competitor and start their Adobe learning journey and are used to find such aids in the original software and are quite puzzled it doesn't exist in Photoshop.

 

Obviously it could be ported to all the apps in the Creative Suite.

I was aware of the list, thanks!
This is a feature request for a handy in-app reminder of the KB modifiers, aimed at making the transitions from other software that have that functionnality to Adobe software, and geared towards beginners (but not only)

It would go hand in hand with the list you shared, the same way the tool tips go hand in hand with the help files.

As you can see, the list is formidable in size & scope.
