Question

Where in Keyboard Shortcuts is the new backslash to hide adjustment layer?

As far as I can tell it's not there, and considering that show mask uses the same key and also isn't assignable, this is very frustrating. If you're on a pixel layer \ shows the mask. If you're on an adjustment layer, it temporarily disables it. 
Ideally, we'd be able to assign both of these, but at the very least, please don't have the new behavior override the pre-existing behavior that we're used to.

Hi there, thanks for linking that. Shift + \ does indeed work to show the mask. It feels really unintuive though to be able to use just \ on a curve or any other adjustment layer, but on a Hue Sat to have to add shift. I hope you guys will consider reversing those, so that shift + \ temporarily resets the Hue Sat, and \ stays consistently "show mask" regardless of layer type. That feels far more intuitive to me.
