Computer Graphics with Photoshop - Is there a Ctrl, Alt, Shift, list for the Tools?

Is there a Ctrl, Alt, Shift, list for the Tools?

I've found plenty of keyboard shortcut lists for Photoshop, but I'm
looking for a list that will tell you what happens when you hold down
ctrl, alt, shift, or a combination for each of the tools. There's no
way I can remember them all. It would be nice to have a reference
sheet. Anyone know if anything like that exists?

In CS2, go to HELP then in Search type: keys shortcuts

There's the tables of shortcuts with all key combinations.
In the menu bar there is an option to Print the page(s)

That's the same thing as the keyboard shortcuts I've found online. I
want a list that tells me, for instance, what happens when you're using
the Freeform Pen tool and you hold down Alt....or Shift....etc...

Once again, I'm *not* talking about keyboard shortcuts..... I'm
talking about how you access the additional options of a tool. For
example, if you're using the rectangular marquee tool and want to draw
a perfect square, you hold down Shift while making your selection. Or,
if you're using the Pen Tool, holding down Shift and clicking will set
your points at 45 degrees to each other. It's the stuff that they
usually at the bottom of the Photoshop screen while you're using a
particular tool..... I'm just looking for it all in one place......

No, I don't have the tri-fold card. Is that what I'm looking for? Can
I download a copy from the web?

Peadge,

I haven't seen the card since about v4. Even when I upgraded from 2 -> 3 -> 4,
the heavy stock (laminated?) card came with the upgrade. Of course, that was
also in a time, when Adobe also sent a book, that said more than "see Help."
I've printed out the PDF (and a few others) mentioned, but would also like to
have a "cheat sheet." Most often, I just mouse, and use keyboard shortcuts for
certain operations. If anyone has a URL to such a chart, there is a bit of a
market for one.

The last card I got was with v7. I can't seem to find it, but I do still
have the one for v6.

Dang, and I always thought that Adobe liked me best! <G> Out of sheer
curiosity, are these shipped with your upgrades, or did you, for some reason,
buy the full version of each of these? I really liked the card, but then I
also liked the F-key template from WordPerfect, back in the Orem, UT/US days.
I guess that I'll just add five-dozen sticky-notes to the monitor bezels!
Thanks for the info.

I have a shelf which runs above my monitor and I have a print out
hanging down one side, attached to the shelf. Only problem is that
that's fine if you just use Photoshop but it gets to be a lot of paper
when you also use Illustrator, InDesign, Painter.... <g>

Hecate, is your print out of the keyboard shortcuts or for the tool

Hello, all:

Saw the request for something I haven't thrown away!

I've scanned the Quick Reference tri-fold and you may download it from:

https://home.comcast.net/~pixmaker/Page1.pdf

That will get you page 1.

For the remaining five pages, simply enter < /Page2.pdf> , etc.

Sorry about the extra work but I don't have a copy of Acrobat that will allow me
to combine all six pages into a single pdf document. The scans are at 300dpi so
you should be able to get decent letter-sized prints from the files.

Enjoy!

Keyboard, that's why I'm asking about the tool options as well :)

Any chance of putting the links on a page? It's just that Firefox
always seems to choke on pdfs and I need to right click and download
the file. If I click your link it launches Acrobat and Firefox dies.

Thanks.

To Hecate:

Sure . . . I'm glad to help. But your statement, "just put the links
on a page," doesn't tell me what you really want and what I should do.

My old scanner delivers bitmapped files. I suspect I can convert them
to any one of a variety of different files and place them in a folder
on my home pages. How about JPEG's or TIF's (big) or something else?
Of course, they're already in BMP. . . do you just want those?

Whatever you choose will be at 300 dpi (about 1 mB per page) so you
probably can convert to your heart's content.

Let me know.

Firefox doesn't die on me but I also find it incredibly infuriating
when clicking on a pdf in a browser launches Acrobat.

The fix is in Acrobat!! Go to "Options/ Web browser options" and clear
"Display PDF in Browser". Don't just clear the checkmark but really
scratch it out... ;o)

Seriously, that's the fix! This annoys Acrobat (and Reader) to no end
(but not as much as it does me having it pop up in my browser) so
Acrobat desperately tries to hijack the browser again and I found I
occasionally have to go back and fix it again.

Don.

You know, I've been using Acrobat for about 2 years and never come
across that. Duh! Shame I can't blame it on being blonde ;-)

Thanks Dave, but Don solved my problem above. I had meant a page
with an html link to the file so I could just right click and
download, but it doesn't matter now. Thanks for your help. :)

Part Two:

Tried that. The b**tard still ran Acrobat in the browser. So I checked
and Firefox has a setting. Delete that and it launches Acrobat
separately and then,,.;.. crashes without the file being launched. I
give up <sigh>

Hmmm...!? If you have the Reader installed check that too!

I have them both and they seem to act as a wrestling tag team ;o) And
I mean the "catch-as-catch-can" kind, not the actual sport.

Seriously, it's between the two of them! It took me a couple of days
or arm wrestling with the darn Acrobats to finally have pdf in Firefox
come up with "Save as" instead of launching, but now it's stable.

Also - and this is a long shot, but you never know - make sure you
have the latest Firefox (it's 1.0.3 right now). Final thought, I never
had Firefix crash on me so maybe there's something else going on?

Don.

P.S. Just for a laugh (what other reason may there be ;o)) but have
you tried it with "Exploder"? Does it also, erm... explode when
invoking a pdf file?

I shall have to give that a go. And Netcaptor which I also have (it
uses the IE engine but has tabs and stuff, am more security fixes

It shouldn't be this bl**dy difficult just to download a file <sigh>

Ah... You should try 1.0.3 then! ;o) fx: runs and hides

Seriously though, Firefox usually shouts when there's a new version
(the little red icon in the upper right corner). But maybe that's for
critical updates only.

>It shouldn't be this bl**dy difficult just to download a file <sigh>

I know!!

It's always the "little things" that get you, isn't it? I hate it when
I get mired in nonsense like that. You know... something that
shouldn't be a problem in the first place, but before you know it, one
things leads to another, and end up several layers deep in sh...
trouble.

Gee, you got me going now, too! ;o)

LOL! Basically, if companies can't see any monetary advantage in doing
