When I use the command\ shortctut to go to a layer mask, I also get the visibility of the mask turned on.

It used to be that shortcut selected the mask, then using just the \ key would togggle on the visibility.

Why does the shortcut also now turn on the mask? For the life of me I can't find what I might have changed or whether the function has changed.

Problem or error

Do you see the shortcut in your Channels palette?

Note: I'm using the Legacy Channels Shortcut option in Keyboard Shortcuts.

I think all the shortcut keys in the channel palette is just like clicking on that channels eye visibility icon on that channel left end. Which is is basically what the \ shortcut does for th elayer mask channel. So IMO \ and CMD+\ do the same thing. They toggle they toggle the current layer's layer mask channel rube overlay. If the current layer does not have a layer mask you not will see layer mask channel in the Channel Palette there will be no CMD+\ shortcut shown. If the Current layer does not have a layer mask the shortcuts \ and CMD+\ do nothing. A layer with a layer mask mut be the current Photoshop target.
