Do the shortcuts (option + plus) and (option + minus) exist for Photoshop on the Mac? This will be the last post about this, but please help answer the question.

Most likely the answer is no (invalid shortcut by itself), since Option+ or - can't be assigned as a shortcut for menu items or tools and Option can't even be used in Action shortcuts. You can however use Option + or - as long as you also add Cmd.

I read your other post, but i really don't understand what your asking?

 

Are those shortcuts supposed to something by themselves in photoshop?

 

You can use Cmd+Option+or- to zoom and resize document window if your using floating document windows.

I am simply asking if specific shortcuts called (option + plus) and (option + minus) exist in Photoshop for any kind of use? Do the shortcuts exist? Or are they invalid shortcuts that don't exist for Photoshop?

Hi Greg,

I could not find Opt plus or minus shortcuts on the defaul keyboad shortcuts article for Photoshop: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/photoshop/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html

 

Opt +/- is often used to create a keyboard shortcut with a different key, for example:

Switch to Zoom Out tool

Alt + spacebar

Option + spacebar

 

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sahil
