Content-Aware Cut/Delete Settings

[michaelb91583737]

Hi all,

I must have pressed something on my keyboard that has turned off the content-aware auto-fill and I can't work out how to turn it back on again?

Before I would select a area and press "CMD & X" or I would press "Delete" and it would automatically just fill the space with the content. Now when I cut or delete it just leaves a blank space.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi

Once you have a selection use either Backspace, Delete, Shift-Backspace or Shift-F5 to bring up the content aware fill dialog, not sure what you mean by content-aware auto-fill

CMD + X is working as indented

What I mean is I would cut or delete and no box or anything would come up it would just remove my selection and the area would have been content filled.

As far as I'm aware with a selection made and using either of the above keys would always bring up the content aware fill dialog

If you press DELETE or BACKSPACE while you are on a background layer, the dialog comes up. If you press DELETE or BACKSPACE while you have a normal layer selected, then the selection is cut out of that layer without showing a dialog. SHIFT-DELETE or SHIFT-BACKSPACE will always bring up the dialog.
