Question

Problem with selecting layers using keyboard shortcuts.

I create actions in Photoshop. I wanted to avoid creating actions based on layer names. I use keyboard shortcuts. In order to switch between layers, I use the shortcut Option (Alt) + [ or ]. When I want to select two layers, I also use the abbreviation Oprion (Alt) + Shift + [ or ] but this shortcut does not select both layers. Works the same as Option + [ or ]

I use Mac OS High Sierra and Photoshop 20.0.4.

What's the problem?

Those Shortcuts should relatively select the next visible layer and if shift is added the layer should be added to the Photoshop Targeted layers They work fine on Windows Perhaps it a Mac issue   Here you see Alt+Shift+[  Windows 10 CC 2019

Hi Rajman-WKO,

Sorry that you cannot use the keyboard shortcuts switching between the layers in Photoshop 20.0.4. Let us help make it right.

Could you please take a look at this similar discussion Shortcut in PS 2017 - Select next layer down/up don.t work  and let us know if that helps?

Thanks,

Akash
