Canvas resize keyboard shortcut

May 30, 2012 6:38 PM

I'm on a Win7, 64bit, with CS6 (13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00).  The keyboard shortcut to bring up the Canvas resize menu is ctl+alt+c.  That combination does nothing.  If I add the Windows key to the combo, then it will bring up the Canvas resize menu.  Could others check to see if it works for them or have I found another bug?

 

Thanks,

Dennis

    Working here on windows 8 photoshop cs6.

     

    Do you have any problems with other keyboard shortcuts in photoshop cs6?

     

    For example does Alt+Ctrl+i bring up the Image Resize dialog?

    I haven't had any other problems with keyboard shortcuts other than - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4435659#4435659. 

     

    Yes, ctl+alt+i brings up the resize.  The funny thing is adding the Windows key (the one between ctl & alt) makes it work fine.  Ctl+c will copy.

    The obvious first step would be to go Edit > Keyboard shortcuts > Application Menus > Canvas size and see it is actually still set to Ctrl Alt c

     

    I don't know if you can reset to defaults without deleting your Preferences file, but that would be a pretty safe bet to fix it.

    It does show up that way.  I just went into the Keyboard shortcuts and deleted that one and restarted Photoshop.  I went back to the Keyboard shortcuts and it didn't show one for the Canvas Size.  I tried to add Alt+Ctl+c and it would not accept it.  It would add it if I used Alt+Ctl+Win+c.  Alt+Ctl+v works as does Alt+Ctl+Z.  I'll do some more checking.

     

    *edit - I just checked ctl+alt+shf+c and it works as well.

    I found the problem! It seems that keystroke combo was taken over by my video card software, AMD Catalyst Control Center.  It was set up as a hotkey in the CCC preferences to launch the CCC.  The funny thing is that the Enable Hotkeys Feature and the Active boxes were unchecked.  When they were checked, pressing ctl+alt+c would indeed start up the CCC.  I had to edit the Hotkey to blank and now it works as it should. 

     

    It also affected MS-Word as ctl+alt+c will give the copyright symbol.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    Those things can be a real bugger.
