Add layer mask shortcut?

Anyone know the Add Layer Mask keyboard shortcut for CS2? I've looked via the Help screen and PDF Keyboard Shortcuts list and still no luck.

Thanks

No luck creating one either, haven't found a reference for it in the Shortcuts list.

There is an icon on the bottom of the Layers Palette that is a one-click operation. Otherwise, it's easy to make an Action to do it, and assign one of the F-keys to launch it. You might want to think about how you normally create your Layer Mask, i.e. making a Selection, or a Layer Transparency Selection, and incorporate that into the action. If all you want to do is create the LM, then paint on it, that would not be necessary.

The Palette Icon click is what iIwas trying to get away from, I do alot of cut n pastes from other documents and wanted a fast mask option.

Anyways answer solved, the shortcut is hidden away.

Go to keyboard Shortcuts.

Application Menus
Layer
Layer Mask.... (scrolling a fair way down the list to find it) Reveal All is the option needed, presto..
