This is not answering your question directly, but a lot of the time, instead of using the clone tool, I sellect and copy an area to a new layer, and move it into position with Free Transform.  I tend to make the initial selection a bit larger than I need it, so I can Ctrl click to load as a selection, then contract the selection and add a layer mask. This is a convenient method of feathering the patch.

I was confused there for a moment, because I answered a very similar question a couple of days ago.  What asked that poster was if they were aware of this Preference setting?

 

I just tested this wityh the Clone tool on this Windows 11 system.  If you tell me that your Preferences are set the same as above, then I can test it on a MacBook Pro M2 Pro.  Quote me if you reply, and I'll get an email notification.

 

Good luck.

Hi @Anakinzlo!

Sorry we haven't been able to solve this for you yet. Just to clarify, are you looking for a shortcut for the stamp tool or to rotate the canvas/image? I'm a bit confused.

Also, your keyboard layout is Slovak, but is your Mac's Text Input language set to Slovak too or is it set to a different language? 

The Input menu and Character Viewer | System Preferences | Mac OS X Tips

Thanks!
