I use the Brush tool a lot for drawing and painting in Photoshop like everyone and I constantly have my thumb on the Command option ready so I can press the "Z" key to undo especially when I'm doing line work like digital inks. The problem is when I accidently touch the screen (Cintiq) when doing this hundreds of times in a few hours occasionally the brush icon turns to the Move tool and moves the image slightly. Of course it's easy to just undo that, but it's annoyingbecause it happens several times per drawing session because I'm working relatively quickly. I'm wondering what the purpose of having the move tool option be the Command button when using the Brush tool? I've never had to quickly use the Move tool when I'm drawing or painting. When I need to use the move tool I just press the "V" key for that. It seems unnecessary to have that at standby. The Color Picker with the option key makes sense.
I know it can't be done, but it would be more effective to have the command modifier be set to be "Undo" instead of pressing two keys to do that or make the Command option for the Brush tool be the Rotate Canvas instead of pressing and holding the "H" which is fine to do, but not looking down at the key board to press the "H" would be great if the Command key was set for that instead of the Move tool.
Does anyone have a tip or have a work around or understand my frustration? Am I wrong and some people find the Move tool helful when using the Brush tool? When does someone need to move pixels so often when drawing/painting or retouching?

Hi there,
Thank you for reaching us out on Adobe Community. Many user struggles with this workflow and at times it switches the brush to move tool without a touch and that's because of drivers issue. In your case, I think it's not a driver thing but when you working with the speed it just happens. Have you tried changing a keyboard shortcut for the Move tool in Photoshop setting and see if that helps: https://adobe.ly/3YVLH4Q
Thanks,

I'll try that. I wish I just like shortcuts (KBSC) I can change that option for the Brush. I was also curious why the move tool would be set at default for the Command Key because I've never really needed to move something when I'm using the brush tool right away. I'm a big KBSC user like I imagine a lot of creators.
