Photoshop: Less restrictions for keyboard shortcuts

I would really appreciate the ability to bind keys freely.

Seeing how far Photoshop has come I see no reason to keep the limitations in place, such as "This keybind must have CTRL +" when it comes to some of them.

I see programs such as Krita having the ability to bind any key to any tool or menu setting and I have tried for over a year to learn Photoshop, but the keybinds make it hard on me because I can never get used to them.

I would like the ability to bind just "M" to Flip Canvas, this cant be done in Photoshop. Or the SHIFT + drag to change brush size, cant be done in Photoshop unless bind your pen to an additional key and then press SHIFT + drag. In Krita, you can do this by just holding Shift and dragging without pressing any button on the pen itself. This is very convinient!

I love Photoshop, but its keybind limitations make me unsubscribe and go back to Krita all the time. I would love if Photoshop could just make that simple change and allow users to bind things freely. I see no problem in doing this, older users can still keep default bindings.

Photoshop has existed for so many years that I feel its time to free up the program for its users without limitations.

Photoshop really is limited compared even to other Creative Suite apps. Even just adding Alt/Option as an optional alternative to Command/Control would create dozens more possible shortcuts.

Then vote for the idea like we did 😉

I'd like to be able to use modifier keys when assigning tool shortcuts. Why, for example, shouldn't I be able to bind Shift+A to the artboard tool? (I can do this in Illustrator.)

Adobe is trash!

Hi Jen,

You want to assign a single letter to commands like Print or Save for Web?  Could you give specific examples or what you're looking to do?

Thanks,
David

If you are on Windows you can do it with autohotkey.
