Photoshop
I think I'll start posting keyboard shortcuts as I figure them out, perhaps this way I can remember them better. Here's one: In pshop 6, when typing, break out of the type tool with ctrl + enter (win), and I assume cmnd + enter (mac). Save a trip to the mouse, and use ctrl + alt + shift + "s" to export gif and jpgs. This keyboard shortcut stuff is pretty basic, but I've realized lately that my command of the keyboard shortcut timesaving features are limited. I'm waisting time with my mouse.

Oh great! Thanks very much Alex, I'm printing out this list right now. Looks like there's other interesting stuff on this site as well, such as this list of php stuff.3. February 15, 2002 03:41 PM

Oh, if you like keyboard shortcuts, you'll like the http://www.nerdybooks.com/ newsletter that comes out once a week with shortcut tips. I have their books, too... good stuff. Not connected. Not bribed to say this.4. February 15, 2002 04:16 PM

try working on PS 6 and quarkXpress all day long in prepress. you HAVE TO use shortcuts, otherwise there's no time left at the end of the day to say... surf daily stops, like web-graphics. ;)6. February 16, 2002 12:12 AM

Jason, brings up a point which leads to a larger question - I'll start a fresh post with it.7. February 22, 2002 07:51 AM

Sometime last year I summarised a bunch of Photoshop shortcuts and other tips for a friend. This thread prompted me to put them online: Photoshop Tips. Don't forget you can make your own keyboard shortcuts, using the Actions macros. For example, I can't do without the following on function keys: Image Size, Canvas Size, Selection Expand & Contract, Stroke, Unsharp Mask, etc.8. February 22, 2002 08:14 AM

Last night I found the mother of all keyboard shortcuts. Shift + Control + Alt + K launches a window inside Photoshop and Illustrator that shows a map of all of the keyboard shortcuts and gives you the ability to edit all of them.9. February 22, 2002 08:17 AM

Trying it now, Pepe, but all I'm getting is the Preferences dialog box (which is on Ctrl-K)10. February 22, 2002 08:24 AM

You can also use the 'Enter' key on the number pad to break out of the type tool (PS6 on Windows). Just thought I'd give you another way of doing it. FYI, there's a pretty good list available at http://www.spoono.com/tutorials/photoshop/shortcut/
