The marching ants interfer with my selection work consequently I always hide them with command H but this option does not appear available in CS6.  Anybody have a solution?

Thanks,  Bob

    Mac OSX has moved towards encouraging all applications to adopt a standard keyboard shortcut - Command H - for hiding the application.

    If you don't have your "Show Slection" set up with a keyboard shortcut, when you use Cmd H it will ask you if you want it to use it to hide Photoshop (Mac standard) or Hide/Selections, etc. (Photoshop Traditional)

    It will do this even if you already have Hide Photoshop shortcut: Command-Control H.

    Just go to the Edit Menu - Keyboard Shortcuts to specify a shortcut for Selections Edges.

    I believe the language for this has changed slightly in different versions.

    I cannot return to the window that initially asked if I would like to use Cmd-H to hide Photoshor or hide/show selections.  But the suggestion Conroy gave works well with Command Control H.  Thats all for you help.  Bob

    Control-H still works for me on the PC side, just as it always has.

    Cmd+H (View > Extras) in CS6 should hide/reveal marching ants. What key combo is on menu item View > Extras? The Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts command will let you assign a key combo if necessary.
