Don't mess with my shortcuts!

[dougeefresh]

I have been using Photoshop for more than 20 years and the latest update (CC 2019) has been the most frustrating because of a change that was not even necessary.

Why did Adobe have to change shortcuts that have been ingrained in my memory for more than a decade? Yesterday I was trying to figure how to crop/resize without locking ratio and today I was trying to figure why I couldn't go up the history by pressing the usual shortcut. WHHHYYYYY?!?!?!

Hi

You can revert the shortcuts to the legacy

And for the transform take a look here

How do I turn off the new proportional scaling by default behavior while transforming layers?

Oh dear Ged! Thank you!

Now one more setting to revert back to if I have to reinstall...

Why? To aid new users. (Not the answer you want to hear, I know!)

I can't talk on behalf of Adobe as I do not work for them, but I am a mere youngster in the world of Photoshop, I have been using it for the last 11 years (since I was 16, I will let you do the math haha). Whilst I agree the change is frustrating, I remember when I first used Photoshop after using Photoshop Elements, how annoying it was that Photoshop did the shortcuts differently.

I am probably with you, in that I will use the legacy features as I have become used to it, but I understand their decision because the majority of other software I have used in the past will use this new formula of shortcuts and it will make it easier for users using multiple software, especially now we are in the digital age.

That is my 2 cents!

Unfortunately because Photoshop is so widely popular many software companies followed its well known shortcuts like using Shift key to lock ratio that has become standard. So Photoshop is now once again doing shortcuts differently...
