What use is a keyboard shortcut if it doesn’t save you time? Precious little.

It is a surprise then that some default shortcuts rely on so many keys you could type War and Peace in the time it takes to select them. Fortunately, the maximum Photoshop actually uses in the default set is ‘just’ 4. So, if you have a few gigabytes of unused neural ram or you want to make a name for yourself in serious nerd circles why not make up a series of 4 key ‘shortcuts’ and demonstrate your typing dexterity and masochistic tendencies? For the rest of us mere mortals the only remedy here is practice and more practice.

Todays ‘shortcut’ falls into the War and Peace category. To get to the Keyboard shortcut panel ‘all’ you have to do is type: -

Cmd+Opt+Shft+K (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+Shft+K (PC)

Why not try it if you’re feeling bored? In all seriousness, keyboard shortcuts can be your friend with judicious use and this panel can be a very useful place to visit.
