Disable default layer selection keyboard shortcuts

Community Beginner ,
Oct 10, 2023 Oct 10, 2023

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the default Opt/Alt + [ and Opt/Alt + ] keyboard shortcuts in PS? I've looked through the keyboard shortcut summary and can't find a relavant mapping to edit.

 

Thanks in advance.

Some shortcuts are not listed and thus are not available to edit. I am afraid this is one of them.

What is the default for those shortcuts?  I use Ctrl + [  and Ctrl + ] but not Alt + [

By default these shortcuts move the layer selection up and down the layer stack. I find that I frequently trigger the shortcut accidently when adjust the brush size with the clone stamp and healing brush leading edits to occur on unintended layers. It would be helpful to disable this shortcut since I never find myself needing to cycle through the layer stack via the keyboard.

@Bojan Živković that's what I figured but thanks for confirming.

 

As a workaround I've remapped the brush size shortcut keys. Interestingly it seems the default mappings to the [ and ] keys for changing the brush size are hardcoded in. The default behaviour presists even after remapping brush size to other keys.
