Why doesn't command s on Mac not work in Photoshop anymore?

I have the same issue as you after updating my Photoshop from version 2020 to 2024. I always use the shortcut Command + S to save files, but I found that I couldn't directly save files using this shortcut anymore. After troubleshooting many times, I discovered that you have to hit S first. Basically, it will be S + Command instead of the old habit of Command + S. NOW, my hostory finally has (saved) appeared.

It's working here. The question is why does it not work for you. In addition to what has been said:

• What happens when you use Cmd+S?
• Is it all files or just the one?
• Does the History panel say you have saved?

Some things that occur to me are:

• the file is already saved
• you are in the middle of text/crop/transform/etc. and have not yet committed or cancelled

Check also keyboard input language.

Hi,

Maybe your shortcut has be over written.  You can check this by going Edit> Keyboard shortcuts > File ...

Thanks,
