Hi Community,

 

This is my first time doing this, like ever, but I am currently having an issue with my Wacom Tablet and Photoshop.

 

Everytime I change my shortcuts via my Wacom Tablet, in relation to the shortcuts inside of Photoshop, but the changes are not reflected in Photoshop.

 

I'll try to use my new shortcuts in Photoshop, but only the default shortcuts are being showed, what do I do?

The shortcuts you set in your wacom tablets properties for an application like Photoshop must be a shortcut the application has or you must set up an application shortcut so the application will perform some function when it receives the shortcut from your wacom tablet  when you use the wacom shortcut you set for the application in your wacom preferences.  The Wacom properties editor would not know how to set shortcuts for every possible application a user may what function the shortcut would be for. The Tablet just knows how to reflect the key strokes and clicks you set in your Wacom properties editor. When the Wacom tablet reflect these to the application the application need to have them as a shortcut for some function or the application will just ignore the unknown shortcut.

 

On my Windows system at time Photoshop shortcuts seem to fails to execute it like Photoshop looses keyboard focus and does not get to see the keystrokes. When Photoshop regains systen focus shortcuts start working again,
