Transfer and Shape dynamics - hotkey issues

I love that you can hotkey a toggle for the Transfer and Shape Dynamic options in the brush settings panel.  What I hate however is that the hotkeys don't work when you start Photoshop - I have to manually go in and toggle the check box off and on, and hit the hotkey a couple times to get it to 'stick'.  Then it will work no problem.  The other wrinkle is that this behavior repeats if I select a new brush. It's a weird bug, but I would love to get this fixed.

    You can try reseting preference of photoshop but remember you will have to customise the shortcuts again. Guide to reset Preferences - Preferences in Photoshop

    If reset preference doesn't help.. may be its a bug in windows. You can report the bug @ Feature Request/Bug Report Form

    To change the pressure control brush you do like this:
    - Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + K
    - Next, select the "keyboard shortcuts" tab.
    Shortcuts For "Tools"
    - Find "Toggle brush Pressure controls Size" and set the shortcut
    To me, I set the K key
    Good luck!

    Which version of Photoshop your using...I have tested creating shortcuts for Transfer and Shape Dynamic and it worked fine even if I restart  photoshop. Tested in Photoshop CC 2018 ver 19.1.2. on Mac OS X 10.13.3

    I'm on the latest version on PC.  So in my experience it's the brush presets that cause the issue....if I start PS and just use the default round brush, everything is fine.  The moment I switch to a custom brush preset, the hotkeys stop working.  Then once I check an un-check the boxes (for transfer and shape dynamics), they seem to work again.
