Shortcuts HAND TOOL

I use HAND TOOL (space)  very often and with new update of Photoshop the shortcut has changed for (H)

Please explain why I can't use (space) anymore only only a-z

- it slows downs my work dramatically. ;(

Best wishes,

Karo

      Hi Karo,

      Sorry that you're having trouble using the hand tool shortcut in Photoshop.

      Could you please take a look at this similar discussion The Hand Tool's shortcut is now "H" instead of Spacebar!!! and let us know if that helps.

      Thanks,

      Akash

      Hi, You can use it by using space. Press the space key and hold it and then drag it by mouse. It will work as a hand tool.

      Thanks.

      Hi Akash,

      Thank you for the rapid response.

      Not sure if any of those conventions help me setting spacebar in shortcuts removing H.

      I just want previous shortcuts.

      It's really not good User Ergonomics of ADOBE to use H.

      Best wishes,

      Karolina

      Karolina,

      H has always been a default shortcut for the Hand tool, as has the Spacebar.

      If you read the appropriate thread supplied by Akash, it does explain how to set your OS to not override the Adobe shortcuts.

      You can also change your shortcuts back in Photoshop to the traditional/legacy set - also explained in the supplied thread.

      Please read the thread supplied.
