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

        because ctrl+alt+shift+n is obviously a shortcut. creating a new layer without dialogue is by far the most common action for creating a new layer, therefore, it should have the simplest base shortcut. adobe is a badword man though, and won't actually let you assign most useful shortcuts to what you'd want in a real workflow.

        A few Photoshop shortcuts are indeed immutable but Layer > New > Layer is not so what is keeping you from assigning a shortcut of your choice to the command? 

        Many users seem to keep the non-dominant hand on the keyboard while working anyway, so pressing cmd-alt-shift does not seem to be a problem in and of itself. 

        Edit: Ah … sorry, I hadn’t remembered the point of the original issue.
