Hi there,

On the latest version of PS CC the keyboard shortcuts are not working. I do see the cursor change when pressing alt/ctrl but e.g. brush, ctrl + z do not work.

Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help. Neither did remove preferences.

Please help me fix it.

Running latest photoshop with an up to date Windows 10 64 bit system.

Yes this is still a thing. Removing English (US) as a language on your PC removes all keyboard access in Photoshop 22.5.0. How stupid 😄

I had the same issue on Windows 10. Keyboard shortcuts did not work on even with older (CS6) versions either. I found the root cause for my case.

I did changes in the language configuration after I bought a new keyboard. This included installing the "English (Europe)" language pack with United States Internaltional QWERTY keyaboard:

I also removed the standard "English (US)" language pack, since I thought is not needed anymore and just takes one more cycle when switching the layout to get to the Russian one. After none of the solutions suggested on the Internet worked, I came to the idea to put back the "English (US)" language pack and, look, keyboard shortcuts work again in all adobe apps. The above screenshot shows the corrected setup. @Adobe: have software background, I would consider this as a bug, not sure if it is your bug or Microsoft's .

I am having the same problem. I am on a job right now and my keyboard isn't working in either Photoshop or Illustrator. This is driving me nuts!!!! I use to be able to work quickly without even looking at my keyboard now ever move is a challenge! Can anyone at Adobe figure out why nothing is working correctly with these new updates!!!!!!!!!

I have upgraded to 20.0.1 today. After working for a period, all keyboard shortcuts suddenly stops working. This has happened a couple of times now during last two hours. As if it wasn't annoying enough that we all suddenly had to deal with the sudden change in keyboard shortcuts with the prior version, we now face this. Please hurry with a fix for this...
