Using a Mac with CC 20. Used to be that CMD H would hide the marching ants of a selection. Now it hides Photoshop. What happened? How do I fix this, or use a different key to hide the ants?
Sorry I forgot that fixing this behavior has changed - not sure which version or OS - but now:
In Photoshop go Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, go to View, and change the shortcut for Extras to Cmd-H.
You'll get a warning that this changes an OS shortcut which is fine (I think the OS shortcut changes to Cmd-Ctrl-H). You may need to quit Photoshop and relaunch, but Cmd-H will hide marching ants after that.
Otherwise you can continue to use Cmd-Ctl-H to hide selections.
Sorry for the confusion. PS 2021 on Mac
Go to
- Edit
-Keyboard Shortcuts
-Select
- View - (Then finally)
- Selection Edges.

@Jean-François Vibert bonjour!
je remarque que CMD+H est listé deux fois, qu'en est-il s'il n'est utilisé que dans l'un des deux raccourcis ? Normalement, il devrait y avoir un message d'erreur, non?

I really hate this stuff. I still can't get command H to work. Why did this change. It's as bad as the Command F key putting me in search!

See prior fix. This is a quote:
In Photoshop go Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, go to View, and change the Shortcut for Extras to Cmd-H.
You'll get a warning that this changes an OS shortcut which is fine (I think the OS shortcut changes to Cmd-Ctrl-H). You may need to quit Photoshop and relaunch, but Cmd-H will hide marching ants after that.
Otherwise you can continue to use Cmd-Ctl-H to hide selections."
Per my setup osx Sonoma, M2.

Thanks. On another thread someone showed how to do it with a nice animation, which I needed because it was impossible for me to find otherwise. I just have to remember to keep saving my workspace to keep it installed when I reset preferences after the usual spinning ball comes back after about ten to twenty hours worth of Photoshop work.
