How to show red overlay for layer mask in Photoshop?

Hi all! I used to know the key command to show a layers mask as a see-through red mask. But I can't figure it out now. Did they change? Is it no longer an option? If there's still a way to do this, please let me know. I'm on a Mac. Thanks so much!

Right click on your layer mask thumbnail in the layers panel and see what your Mask Options are.

The Defaults as shown are Color RGB 255, 0, 0 and Opacity 50%.

Hi,

 

You can enable/disable the overlay while masking by using the backslash (\) key.

 

Let us know if it helps!

Regards,

Thanks, but that's not what I was looking for. I need to describe it better. Basically, I was able to toggle on a red overlay that showed exactly the edges of the mask. You could see through it to your original image, but you could also see the edges of the mask. I am not sure what it was called.

Here's a video showing how it used to work in CS6. I am pretty sure it worked in more recent versions... I swear I've used it within the last few years.
