What is this page for?

This page lists keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop on both macOS and Windows. It covers 1,684 shortcuts across 35 categories, from everyday tasks like selecting and moving objects to more specialized workflows like Puppet Warp, Vanishing Point, and the Camera Raw dialog box.

The page has 35 categories. Where should I start?

Start with Popular shortcuts, then move to the tools you use daily: Selection tools, Use the Layers panel, and Use for painting. Those four categories cover the majority of common editing work and give you a solid foundation before exploring the rest.

Do shortcuts differ between macOS and Windows?

Yes. Most shortcuts swap Cmd for Ctrl and Option for Alt between macOS and Windows. The page shows both side by side, so check the column for your system rather than assuming they match.

Do I need to memorize all 1,684 shortcuts?

No. Focus on the handful you reach for in every session, and let the reference page handle the rest. Even experienced Photoshop users look things up for less frequent workflows like the Filter Gallery or Layer Comps.

Does the page cover the full range of Photoshop work areas?

It covers a wide range: layer management, type formatting, path editing, blending modes, adjustment layers, Curves, Camera Raw, Liquify, Select and Mask, and more. If you work in a specific area regularly, use the category list to jump straight to the relevant section.
