Hi apparently with the new update my custom shortcuts sopped working, I had not a backup, so Im trying to bind them again, but, can't find the Create New Layer without dialog, (Which i used to have in alt+ctrl+q) and the default is ctrl+shift+n

Photoshop should have a search filter for this btw.

    Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

    If I press ctrl+alt+shift+n it will create the new layer without dialog


    … what happens if you apply a custom shortcut to »New Layer« and press alt additionally to that? 

     

    Why do you need another shortcut if one already exists?

      Have you tried cmd-alt-shift-N or are you using that for something else?

        That would be the default shortcut
        On Windows,the default would be ctrl+shift+n
        But I want to change the default shortcut

        What is keeping you from achieving the intended workflow? 

        Worst case you should be able to assign the shortcut to a Script that performs the task. 


        My ideal workflow would be to be able to hit Ctrl+Shift+n (without the Alt modifier) to create a new layer without the dialogue window, as that is what my ingrained habits and muscle memory allow me to do without thinking. But "New layer without dialogue" is not listed within the Keyboard Shortcuts window (though it throws a warning if I try to assign something else to that shortcut). Yeah, I guess I'll have to figure out how to turn that into a script, but I'm a bit salty about it.
