I am using CS2 on a Quad G5 and I can not get the keyboard shortcuts Command + option + E, Command + E, or Command + Option + Shift + E to work? I also tried them in CS and they aren’t working there either. I have gone in an created some custom keyboard short cuts. I use the F10 key for merging down, command + F10 for merge visible and Command + Option + F10 for merge all. Could this be the problem?

Well, yeah, if I understand you correctly! You replaced the standard shortcuts with those custom ones. So of course the standard ones won’t work.

Am I not understanding you?

IME creating new shortcuts is redundant, but not exclusive.

Really? How do you create a second shortcut for any given command? I think setting a custom shortcut replaces whatever key combination was there before. This isn’t so?

You are correct Doug. I just reverted back to the photoshop default shortcuts and now it works. I thought that maybe stamp and merge where two different things.

My intention was to point out that you can create more than one shortcut for the same command; that creating a new shortcut for Merge Down doesn’t replace Command-E, just makes it redundant. So I couldn’t understand why his creating custom shortcuts would cancel the defaults.

Obviously I misinterpreted his problem.

Just push the "Add Shortcut" button. 🙂

Wow. Never knew that. I always thought the only way to customize is to enter the field where the default shortcut displays, then replace it. Never realized Add Shortcut actually creates a new one in ADDITION to whatever exists. Thanks, John.

You’re welcome. Hard to see why, other than some psychological aberration, one would want more than one shortcut for the same action, taking up valuable keyboard space.
