Keyboard shorcut to Move the canvas off-centre?

2377 views3 repliesLast post: 6/13/2005
Working on a laptop, screen real estate is pricey with the tools and layers palette working at 50% actual size. Rather than close one of these toolbars to get more screen back to see the outer edges of the image, is there a command/shortcut keystroke to actually move the canvas to the corner/edge of my Photoshop window. BTW this is Photoshop for Windows.
I thought I saw this recently in a video tutorial, but might have been some fancy post-production with the screen movie.
I am aware of the space bar to move about the canvas within the current magnified view. But I would like to move the whole canvas off centre at 50% view where I can see the whole picture.

Thanks

This is not an answer to your question, but as an alternative you can hit Tab to hide all the palettes and view the image, then Tab again to restore the palettes. This seems easier than what you are describing, but different (key)strokes for different folks ...

In CS and above you can move the canvas around in Full Screen mode. Hit
F. But I don't think there is a keyboard shortcut to move it per se. You
have move it manually.

You can use Control and zero to have the image fill the screen. You can use Control and minus sign to make it smaller and Control and plus sign to make it larger. These key commands work on the window size.
