So this is my short list of shortcuts you’ll actually use.
I could write a giant list of thousands of keyboard shortcuts, but then you wouldn’t know which ones are actually useful. That means my left hand is constantly in use for switching between tools, modifying the function of the active tool, or just doing commands that would otherwise take a bunch of steps. In order to turn pro you need to get your other hand involved.Ībout 30% of all my input and commands into Photoshop come from the keyboard rather than the mouse. And my guess is your design process is slow as hell. If that’s you, you’re an amateur designer. In other words, new designers do 99% of their work with just their dominant hand on the mouse. When most people think of design they think of using a mouse (or pen if you’re really cool) to move elements on the screen to bring your dream to life.
