keyboard shortcuts not working in Photoshop CC

[wendyfern]

I have photoshop CC through Creatuve cloud.  My keyboard shortcuts stop working, then photoshop really slows down, then crashes.  I've been through Adobe support five times now, and it works for about 1/2 hour, then acts up again.  Any suggestions/reciommendations?  Thanks - Wendy Caro

My shortcuts worked again after changing my workspace from 3D to Essentials (Default).

Hi All I'm running the latest version of photoshop cc and all of my shorcuts are unresponsive. All other adobe shortcuts work in other programs. Deleting the prefs haven't fixed it.

Anyone got any idea's. I really don't want to have to reformat....

Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl+....) (B - Brush, E - Eraser ;.....) (Solved)

So to set an end to this seemingly endless search for a solution, the fix for shortcuts in Photoshop, that, once you already looked through all of Adobe's Support Suggestions about resetting your preference, closing third-party software, uninstalling drivers..... still haven't fixed it?

Well. Check your keyboard layout!
Turns out only certain versions of the English System Display language will make it work.

If, for instance, you use English (German) Your shortcuts will magically stop working.

So, the solution is to just install English (United States) and use whatever Keyboard Language you prefer seperately. Here's how:

1. Open settings and go to "Time & Language"

2. Select "Language" from the dropdown

3. Under "Preferred Languages" Add "English (United States)"

4. Open the Options for said Language Pack and add your preferred Keyboard Layout.

5. In the List of installed Languages, make sure "English (United States)" is at the top using the ^ v buttons.

6. Reboot your PC
