Shortcuts for tools have to be pressed multiple times to work

At times, the shortcut keys stop working and I’m having to use the previous tool mistakenly. This happens randomly and I have to press a shortcut for a tool multiple times before it starts working. This happens especially with the zoom tool where I have to press its shortcut multiple times, also with the remove tool.

    Hey, ​@jakael3. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

    You can disable the Photoshop Settings > Tools > Spring-loaded Tool shortcuts. 

     

    Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
