Question

Photoshop CC - All Custom Shortcuts disappeared

This afternoon I still had all my shortcuts.

This evening, they were all gone. The set of shortcuts is gone from the Shortcuts menu, and a set that I never created is there.

What has happened?

Is there any way to reconnect to the set of shortcuts? May the file still be there?

For now I don't even have a shortcut to flatten a file.

I'm on a Mac, High Sierra, and it's Photoshop 20.

Did you do a search of the libraries?

Could you be logged in to your computer with another ID?

I don't know where to find the settings file for keyboard shortcuts, so I set up a new custom set.

At least it will give me the option to free some single key shortcuts like "p" as I never use the pen tool, for example.

My shortcut set had totally disappeared, and I removed the new "color"set.

I had already been working for two weeks with that specific tutorial - the downloaded workspace was a generic photoshop workspace file.

Where are keyboard shortcut sets actually stored? Maybe my old set was just "disconnected" and is still there... ?


They are stored here

/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2019/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts
