Question

Shortcut keys stop working after inverting mask

Hi everyone,

 

I'm experiencing a strange issue with Photoshop. After I invert a mask, I can't use any shortcut keys at all, even something as basic as Ctrl + Z.

 

I've tried troubleshooting in various ways, but the problem persists on both my PC and my laptop, so it's not specific to one machine.

 

I'm also using a Wacom tablet, and I'm starting to wonder if there's some kind of conflict happening. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have ideas for a fix?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Erkie.Sak, welcome to the community!
    Could you share a few more details about what’s going on? What version of Photoshop are you using, and does the issue only happen when your Wacom tablet is connected?
    If you haven’t tried it yet, resetting your Photoshop preferences might help, sometimes a corrupted internal file can cause unexpected behavior. Here’s how to do that: https://adobe.ly/43lqnH5
