Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Open the program and go to "Edit," and then "Keyboard Shortcuts."

Step2

You can choose a set of shortcuts to modify from the menu in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. Photoshop Defaults is the only option available until you create your own set.

Step3

Within that dialog box there is a dropdown menu in which to choose the area of shortcuts you want to customize. Choose from among Application Menus, Palette Menus or Tools.

Step4

In the Palette Menu Command, consider the various options you can choose to customize. For example, under “Application Menus”, and under "File," you'll find the options "New," "Open," "Browse" and "Open." If you click on "File" and “New,” you can change the shortcut control to whatever you want. After you make your changes, the name in the Set menu will have modified after it.

Step5

When you have finished changing shortcuts, you can accept all changes, by clicking “OK” or click “Cancel” to exit without saving.
