Question

keystroke-B not consistently engaging

Quite often when B is depressed on the keypad the brush outline shows up. When the key is released the outline disappears and the previous tool is still selected. Repeated pressing B does not engage and the brush is not selected..

 

Mouse - select to the brush tool does work.

This behavior has been around for quite some time.

Went to Edit, Keyboard Shortcuts, Brush. The Accept tab was not grayed out. Selected Accept, grays out and behavior is better so far.

    Hey, @Barry Rudick. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll clarify this for you. 

     

    You can disable the Photoshop Settings > Tools > Spring-loaded Tool shortcuts. 

     

    Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
