Add Layer Mask Command missing

[david.pierce]

I want to assign a keyboard shortcut to the "add layer mask" command, but it looks like it's not in the Layer > Layer Mask menu anymore like it used to be?

This apparently used to be possible...

Or am I missing something?

Hi

Option to add a shortcut is there for me, Photoshop 20.0.5

After you add the shortcuts as Julienne and Ged instructed, they show up in the Layer > Layer Mask menu.

There is no direct "Add Layer Mask" command.

There are two kinds of Layer Masks: Reveal and Hide   ,

Reveal is the White mask, Hide is the Black Mask.

The button I was looking for was "Reveal Selection" which is confusingly named. Should be "Mask Selection" imo.
