Is it possible to get Photoshop CS to carry out the command-backtick shortcut (rotate between open documents) properly?

You have to use control-tab, which is driving me insane. I've looked through the Keyboard Shortcut editor and it only appears to list shortcuts that are actually in menus.

command+tilde in Photoshop is "display all" in the channels pallete. Command+1,2,3,4 are C,M,Y,K respectively (or RGB depending on mode).

you can modify key commands in CS, though. maybe just removing that one will alow the system default to take back over.

Hmm - Thanks for the replies.

Witch looks interesting - but is not what I'm looking for - I've got 16 years of muscle memory that I can't really over-ride - so I'd like the proper mechanism to work.

Chris v:

I think I mis-titled the thread - technically I should have called it 'command-backtick'

i.e. Command-tilde is the same as command-shift-backtick

[edit]

Double-Hmm...

I removed the Command-M shortcut and 'minimise to dock' doesn't work - so I fear that Adobe have over-ridden all keyboard events.

Oh well.

Have you tried creating the shortcuts for Photoshop in the system preferences?

I think there's a "Use System Shortcuts" (or something similar) checkbox in the prefs somewhere (I can only speak for PS 7, though). At the least, it allows Command-M to be used for minimize instead of curves, though I'm not sure if it remaps Command-`, too.

In Photoshop CS go to Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts and then duplicate the default set and create your own.

I used it first to bring CMD-M back to Minimise window, but that means you need to create a new shortcut for Curves.

The CMD-Backtick doesn't work as a window cycler but CMD-Tilde does! There is no way at all to override this behaviour, as I imagine they've integrated this shortcut into the PC version.

I guess you'll have to integrate your ring finger into your new muscle training regime
Computer thez nohhh...
