OK, I can do this on my PowerBook, so I know it's possible, but it isn't happening on my PowerMac for some reason.

In Photoshop, I want to be able to cycle through tools activated by a particular shortcut - the Gradient Tool and the Paint Bucket Tool, for example, which are both called by "G" - by pressing that shortcut repeatedly. So if I have the marquee tool selected, for example, I want "G" to first call the Paint Bucket Tool - and when I press "G" again, I want it to switch to the Gradient Tool.

This is happening on my PB but on the tower pressing "G" repeatedly is just sticking with Paint Bucket. I'm running the very latest CS2 on both computers.

I can't find this anywhere in the preferences. How do I activate this?

I think you need to press shift + G.

Brilliant, of course. I must have done it by muscle memory on my PowerBook that when I started using my PowerMac's full size keyboard I didn't realize I'd been pressing an extra key.

Thanks.
