Where to change/delete the move tool shortcut ?

Question

When I hold the command key Photoshop by default selects the move tool. The thing is, every time I quickly try to use a command + something shortcut while I'm drawing, I accidentally move my entire image. I know that the normal move tool shortcut is V, but how can I change the shortcuts that temporarily select a tool? Sorry, I'm still kind of new to Photoshop and I just can't seem to find it anywhere.

Lots of shortcuts can be modified, but to the best of my knowledge the Tool shortcuts can't.

I use shortcuts all the time—including the ones you are asking about—but have never been in that particular situation. To move the object, you'd have the Cmd key held down with one hand, and the mouse button down with the other. You'll need to release the mouse to access the next shortcut (let's say to tap the + to zoom in), unless you have an extra hand.
