Sometimes when I'm working in Photoshop, the min/max/restore buttons disappear. I didn't tell it to do that. Is there a way to prevent it from happening?

Windows

Hi Scott,

It's early morning here and I'm on my iPad. You should be able to remove the shortcuts in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. If you can't find it in this dialog, I'll look for the exact location in a short while.

Thanks, Jane.

Do you know if there is a way to disable the F-key feature? I never want to use it.

Hi Scott,

Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and select Tools from the popup. Click the "F" and delete it to remove the shortcut. Save the customized keyboard shortcuts and close.

Thanks, Jane, but the article is about Microsoft products such as Excel and Word. However, while the menu items don't match exactly, I had not thought about looking in the View menu for a solution to the problem. That still leaves the question of why did they disappear and is there a way to prevent it from happening.

Hi @scotwllm

I don't use Windows, but try the "F" shortcut to toggle the three screen modes. I checked on my Mac and the three buttons disappear in "Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar".
