what's the fix for this to work all the time? i have 2 MBPs, one on 10.13.6, one on 10.12.6, both have the latest photoshop 2019. i can NEVER reliably, all the time count on command tilde working to cycle though open files. right this second, one mac can do it and one amc cannot. i never know if a full system re-start is required or re-launh the app, but usually, i just work around it and pine for the old days when this app worked like a champ all the time.

what's the deal? make new prefs? when it stops working is a re-boot required to fix?

thanks for any input on this...

Appears you may be confusing the key command for apps.

Ctrl Tab or shift ctrl tab to go backwards is Photoshop.

Command ~ is Illustrator

I just tried it and Command ~ does cycle open tabs or windows in Mac Photoshop. Although Control+Tab is what's listed in the Adobe shortcuts list for Photoshop, Command ~ is also supposed to work, it's how I've done it for many years.

Unfortunately, I don't know why it isn't working for marc_cardwell unless there is some shortcut conflict going on. If that is the reason, I'd suggest troubleshooting this way:

In Photoshop, choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and choose Photoshop Defaults from the Set menu. If it works after that, then there was a shortcut conflict in Photoshop.
Reset Photoshop preferences to see if it was a problem with the preferences file.
