P: Shortcuts using Alt key aren't working correctly (e.g. Alt-Backspace)

I need to press Alt-Backspace two times in a row to get it to fill foreground color after updating to CC 2018 this morning. Is there a setting change I need to make or is this a bug? Thanks for a quick reply. This is a big part of my job as a comic book colorist and driving me nuts today.

It is a common issue that faces a problem more. I can use an external keyboard as a solution. Check it for a social site creation for your website.web 2.0 sites

Jason, It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help > System Info... and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Hi Jason,

Are you sure that you updated to the latest version of Photoshop.  If so, can you describe what you're encountering, since this appears to be solved for everyone else with the latest release.

Thanks,
David

I'm still having the issue. As a comic colorist, pressing ALT+Backspace more than once to do fills is a HUGE time waster. HUGE! To the point of switching programs, which I'm seriously considering

What kinda triggers me with shortcuts on the last ver of CC is that if i MINIMIZE a window (and leave one sinked in the app, like unmovable unless i force it out by dragging it out) , then press CTRL+TAB where it should pop up out of it's hideout...Nope, it doesn't comes out, and the sinked window just remains there like "What's going on?.."

And people here told me "Oh, it's intentional since this version!"...Well sorry, but until they fix that i'm gonna use CC2017...

Thank you so much.  This works.  Is annoying has heck, but it will work until PS fixes the issue.

Since PNG isn't print friendly, I've always seen it used as 72ppi, specially if you use save for web or quick export.
Have you tried saving as png, instead of exporting?

They just pushed 19.0.1 version out, it should fix your problems. Check your CC app and update it 🙂
