Repeat last filter used, with different values

Hello,

Before you would use CTRL+F to repeat the last filter used directly, and CTRL+ALT+F to use the last filter, but to input different values. Now that keyboard shortcut is gone. How can I restore that shortcut? It's really useful for some actions.

Cheers

(He says if you restore the old keyboard shortcut of Ctrl F to last filter, then Ctrl Alt F will work the way you want it to.)

What I need is to use the last filter, but calling for the value prompt of that filter, as opposed to just simply apply it again directly with the values I already used before.

There is no short cut that works interactively where you set new values it uses the values you used last.   It is ture that the Last Filter used Shortcut  use to be Ctrl+F and in in Now Alt+Ctrl+F newer version of Photoshop CS6 is Alt+Ctrl+F.  I just tested my CS2 and CS3 install and see that.   Using that shortcut it  applies the last filter  use again.  For example  I used menu filter>Blur>Gasuan Blur.   Then  each time I use Ctrl+F  the image blurs a little more. Here are some cs3 screen captures.  You can see Last Filter  Ctrl+F changes to Gaussiam  Blur Ctrl+F after I use filter Gassian blur.  I user Ctrl+F 15 times each time the image blured some more none were interactive with a dialog.
