How can I change the shortcut for Select and Mask... from bringing up the old "Refine Edges" tool to taking me to Select and Mask? No matter how I change the shortcut, the only way I can bring up Select and Mask... is by clicking on the button. I MUCH prefer using a shortcut.

So sorry, I should have mentioned I am a MacOS user. Cmd+Shift+R brings up "refine edges" not Select and Mask in CC2017.0.1 for MacOS.

Hi

For Mac Select & Mask should be Cmd+Opt+R

Learn how to use the dedicated Select And Mask workspace in Photoshop CC.

No go, unfortunately, no matter which shortcut I use or change it to, it still goes to "Refine Edges"

If I click and drag down to the menu, I do get "Select and Mask", but even if I use Quickeys to do a menu selection, it still gives me "Refine Edges"

Well, yes and no.

In the meantime, I upgraded to CC2017.1.1

Not sure how that affects this, BUT.

CMD+OPT+R did not take me to Select and Mask, as I had previously changed Select and Mask to cmd+shift+R, which still took me to Refine Edges.

When creating shortcuts with "Keyboards Shortcuts & Menus..." NO combination of shortcuts will take you to Select and Mask EXCEPT CMD+OPT+R! All other combos send you to Refine Edges. To get to Select and Mask via the keyboard, you MUST set your shortcut to CMD+OPT+R. I would hope someone confirms this by trying.

This may be a bug.

OTOH, my problem is sorta fixed. Now I have to use Quickeys to allow me to use my preferred keyboard combo.

UPDATE:

Nope, CMD+Shift+R is so ingrained as Refine Edges, even using Alias Keystrokes in Quickeys does not work. Again CMD+OPT+R must be used exclusively.
