I have been using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F for years, not sure whether it is a default shortcut, or if I assigned it.

You can create your own shortcut sets - Edit > Keyboard shortcuts.

Kevin you need to be specific as this is a long thread starting in 2015, which is seven major updates ago.  You need to start a new thread with enough information about your issue to give the forum a chance of helping you.

In CC2017, in this situation, which is common, one can use control + e to merge all visible layers to the background layer. at this point a control + s will open a browser window directed to the original and save the image as a jpg when save is pressed.

I ended up creating my own shortcut CMD-CNTRL-F.  Thanks all!

Hi anthonyf92369221

You can create your own customized keyboard shortcut for the same.
