Hi there! How to off new feature? Now for deleting layer i should press "Delete" twice - first for mask, second for layer. How can I fix that? I need deleting layer and mask together.

Maybe you should have created a separate key for deleting only the mask instead of breaking the existing behavior.

I created my own shortcut for deleting only the mask several years ago.

thanks!

Please remove this feature/bug. it is very annoying. Now in order to delete a layer with a mask, you need to click twice on it in order to deselect the mask. then you can delete the layer and not only the mask.

Clicking on the layer and pressing the Delete key now deletes only the mask because the mask is active. in PS 2020 it deleted the layer even when the mask was selected.

Please FIX. it is a huge workflow change!

It will be very helpful. For example I'm using correction layer and don't like result - I press delete for watching previous result but removing only mask. Earlier was better. Maybe it can be optionally in settings

I understand that but i need old feature for deleting layer together with mask. Other way - I should press delete twice.

If you have a mask selected it will be deleted first. If you select the layer, not the mask, the whole layer including the mask will be deleted.

Caps lock does it, but then ya-gotta uncaps lock it back, so maybe it's a wash.

Thanks for checking. I also think it's a useful behavior.

Hello, sur Mac, même comportement, et je trouve ça très bien !
Je ne sais pas comment c'était avant la mise à jour !
