"Show transform controls" missing from my toolbar

[PonytailsDesigns]

For some reason, my "show transform controls" checkbox is now hidden behind a gear icon on my toolbar.  It wasn't like that earlier, but I shut down photoshop and restarted today, and now it's gone.  I use that button all the time so it's incredibly annoying to have to take that extra step to click on the gear.  Anyone know how I can get it back to the main toolbar?

I think the reason is that your software was updated to the latest version.

I'm not a fan of this either.

I'm having the same issue and use it all the time too. I don't understand why they would remove this in their "update". It's not very convienient having to select/unselect in the settings (gear icon).

Just chiming in to say this suuuuuuucks. Why add the extra click for the drop down every time? I have so much unused space on my toolbar...

The easiest workaround would be create two tool presets, one with and one without the checkbox enabled. You can record those into an action and assign a keyboard shortcut. You can also copy as Javascript and use Batchplay/UXP scripting for more control.

async function transformControls() {
    let result;
    let psAction = require("photoshop").action;

    let command = [
        // Select tool preset “Move Tool 2”
        {"_obj":"select","_target":[{"_name":"Move Tool 2","_ref":"toolPreset"}]},
        // Select tool preset “Move Tool 1”
        {"_obj":"select","_target":[{"_name":"Move Tool 1","_ref":"toolPreset"}]}
    ];
    result = await psAction.batchPlay(command, {});
}

async function runModalFunction() {
    await require("photoshop").core.executeAsModal(transformControls, {"commandName": "Action Commands"});
}

await runModalFunction();
