short cut keys quit working
Every so often while working along in Photoshop, I will press a shortcut key, and instead of getting the expected photoshop shortcut, I will get a windows function.  I might get the desktop or the run command, or some other such thing. The only way that I have found to restore the photoshop shortcuts at this point, it to reboot the PC. I'm really not sure if this is really a photoshop issue. Since this is the only time I ever see the problem I was wondering if anyone else had ever come across this. Thanks, Dave. |

Occasionally, but usually when I hit the wrong combination. I can only assume that if you have the same shortcut in PS as one for Windows, Windows takes priority. |

If you're getting the desktop or run command, you're hitting the Windows key or there's a problem with the keyboard. Windows+D minimises everything (same as the show desktop command) and Windows+R initiates the run command box. I'm forever doing it when I have to use one of those beige boxes  _________________ Leap and the net will appear |

Actually it is simple shortcuts such as the tab to turn the tool bars on and off, or the f key to switch display modes. When this happens the tab key causes an application switch, which will minimize photoshop. I have the windows key disabled as I never use it, and only find it an irritation when I hit it by mistake. I have never seen the problem except when photoshop is running, and have not been able to discover the cause.  |

In windows the switch application is Alt-Tab, I suspect that your keyboard is faulty, can you borrow another to try? |

I think that the keyboard is the problem. I'll have to find another. Thanks for your comments! |
