Home button

Just upgraded to CC 2019 and After Effects has been affected by the home button like almost every other program. I was able to remove it from Photoshop, but is there a way to remove it from After Effects? It's right where I'm used to clicking for the select tool and I hit it instead every time. It just needs to go away.

1. Use V.

2. What a stupid thing to add to the toolbar...

You should really try to get in the habit of using the keyboard shortcuts to navigate the toolbar. Over the course of the year it will probably save you a couple of days. The selection tool is the V.

I agree but when you are using the text tool there is no way that I know of to switch to the selector.

You can select other tools when you're using the text tool. You just have to use the Command/Control button. I found this page that could help.
