Yes, I'm using a non US-Keyboard. The square brackets are only available through modifier keys (alt), which triggers another tool entirely instead of the wanted next/previous layer.
Can you explain the mentioned ScriptingListener-code a bit? Or maybe link to some other post where this workaround is explained?
Thanks a lot.
If you want to give it a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 or /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities-CS5/ExtendScript Toolkit CS5) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action, (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
This selects the next Layer below, for the next one above you’d need to change
var idBckw = charIDToTypeID( "Bckw" );
to
var idBckw = charIDToTypeID( "Frwr" );
// =======================================================
var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref4 = new ActionReference();
var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idBckw = charIDToTypeID( "Bckw" );
ref4.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idBckw );
desc6.putReference( idnull, ref4 );
var idMkVs = charIDToTypeID( "MkVs" );
desc6.putBoolean( idMkVs, false );
executeAction( idslct, desc6, DialogModes.NO );
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to make the current layer itself active when the mask thumbnail is the atcive one. I have reason to believe that it exists, but I cannot find it. (to make the layer mask active the command is, on a Ma, command-\, I am looking for the shortcut to putthe focus back on the layer itself)
