Photoshop keyboard shortcut lag

Community Beginner ,
Apr 20, 2023 Apr 20, 2023

I've been experiencing this for a while but only just got round to posting it. 

 

I'm running photoshop 2023 24.0.1 on a macbook pro 2017 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5

 

Its a really annoying bug where if I use a keyboard shortcut, sometimes photoshop doesn't register that I've pressed the shortcut key. For example I will select something on a layer by cmd clicking that layer in the layer panel. Then on a new layer when I hit the g key to bring up the paintbucket tool photoshop doesn't register that I've used a shortcut, I'll have to press it again. It happens randomly and with various keyboard shortcuts, but its really frustrating.  

 

Any tips/help?

Hi @defaultaxtc0ivyligg go to Photoshop preferences (Settings)/Tools and uncheck "Spring Loaded Toll Shortcuts". It's a new feature for hot-swapping temp tools.

I have the same issue, but deactivating Spring-loaded Tools does not solve it. I am using a PC. Does anyone else have this problem?

I recently discovered solution to this problem. I recommend unsubscribe completly from ad0be products. There are alternatives, even it's pain to re-make all your workflow, muscle memory etc. I still recommend it. Feels awesome and solve many of my problems not only this.
