How do I change the temporary move tool shortcut?


Recommended Posts

I'm using windows and the current shortcut is the space bar, I can't see any option to change it to anything else. It would make more sense to have it as ctrl, that way I can ctrl + scroll to zoom and then ctrl + left click hold + mouse drag to pan.

Thanks

You can edit shortcuts under Preferences Ctrl + ,

Will likely be under:

Preferences: Shortcuts Tab

As far as I know that one cannot be changed. But I'm a bit puzzlYour topic title refers to the Move Tool, and your post text refers to panning, which is a function of the View Tool. The Space bar is a temporary shortcut for the View Tool, so perhaps your topic title just has the wrong tool mentioned?

Or, you could:

  • Press Spacebar, and click to pan.
  • Press Spacebar, then Ctrl, then drag left/right to zoom in/out.

(Once you've pressed Spacebar, look at the Status Bar at the bottom of the window for hints on the modifier key functions.)
