hifred Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 A great workflow helper for keyboard driven work in Photoshop is what I know as sticky keys – but it works different from the Windows accessibility feature with the same name... If anyone knows a better name – please comment. The principle is simple but powerful and doesn't get into the way of anyone who doesn't want to use this feature: Pressing and releasing the E key from say the brush tool will switch to the Erazer tool permanently, just as usual. If one however presses and keeps holding down the E-Key one can quickly eraze some strokes. Letting go the E key automatically switches back to the brush tool. The principle is similar to the way Panning via Spacebar is hooked up already – on release the previous tool gets re-activated. The same principle might be useful for Designer and Publisher as well (Adobe uses it in AI and ID too). Rocketdrive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketdrive Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Totally agree. Temporary keys can be very useful. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonafish Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yes, I just installed the windows version and was a bit surprised this is not a feature in such a fresh new app. I think a feature request is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
