Hey I’m having a pretty annoying problem with Photoshop CS4 – one that I never had with Version 3 or earlier.

I usually like to unmap the shortcuts for Close Window (Cmd+W by default) and Quit Photoshop (Cmd+Q by default) because they can cause problems when you hit them on accident, or too quickly.

Like I said, this has worked fine for me in the past, but now in CS4, without any rhyme or reason, the Quit shortcut gets mapped to simply ‘Q’, which is REALLY bad. Reloading my custom workspace solves the problem, but I have to do this daily, which kind of defeats the purpose of having it in the first place.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Any ideas on how to right it?

Thanks,

Nejat

Illustrator has similar problem where remapping certain keyboard short cuts do not stick seemingly. But if you open the shortcuts dialog after relaunch then it returns. Could be related.
