Change UI language but keep keyboard distribution

Community Beginner ,

Hello!

 

I've changed the Photoshop UI language from spanish to english, BUT, keyboard changed too (only in Photoshop) so can't use the proper keyboard distribution for shortcuts (can't type [ ] to change brush size, and so on).

 

Is there any way that I can keep Photoshop in english and keyboard in a different language? (I know I could remap the keys, but keeping default mapping would be way better)

Keyboard layout should be a separate setting in the operating system (at least it is in Windows). As long as a key is present, it should behave normally in Photoshop, even if it has a different physical location than a standard US/UK keyboard.

 

I use English Photoshop/Windows but a Norwegian keyboard, which works well - except that the square brackets aren't there, so I had to remap those shortcuts.

Apple System Preferences > Keyboard  Add and Select your Keyboards there and checkmark "Show input menu in menu bar" so that you can observe and switch keyboards.  It's next to the Time and Date: Screen Shot 2023-02-21 at 6.04.38 AM.png

Solved. Just exported spanish keyboard mapping (from PS) and then imported them into PS English version.
