Shortcuts for quiting and closing

I think having default shortcuts for exit, closing and closing other and closing all is not enough. We need more ways for accidentally closing documents. Why not Exit without saving shortcut? Exit with Operating system shut down. 😄

Seriously, those actions should not have shortcuts by default. 

Correct answer Conrad_C

Most software has default shortcuts for Exit/Quit and Close, so that isn’t just a Photoshop issue, it’s a cross-platform standard.

 

As for the others, it would only take a minute to remove the shortcuts from those commands (and the others, if you want) using the command Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

You can write actions to perform those steps and assign a keyboard shortcut to each action.

If you need to remove a keyboard shortcut, go to Edit menu > Keyboard shortcuts.
