Photoshop Hotkeys

[Lyrics]

Hey everyone does anyone know if there is (there must be?!) a hotkey for hiding/showing (the eye icon) layers in photoshop? What about a hot key to access the properties of a layer?

I know the hotkeys of

alt+[ move down a layer
alt + ] move up a layer
crtl+alt +[ move layer down
crtl+alt + ] move layer up

and the by right clicking with the pointer tool you can select layers. If i know just those lasst two i could navigate without having to bring up my layers panel NEARLY as much...

working in a panel-less full screen mode is really a ... nice way to design i find, it feels natural.

Sorry no idea but Apple H is great for hiding your porn from the missus

pressing the tab key will hide/reveal any active palettes tool strip etc. That would be the most common way to work in a single monitor setup when you want to toggle screen clutter

Ok.. never mind, i should have checked before making a new thread, i customized my own hot keys to achieve the above. Photoshop does not make them default hot keys, is all.

Huge help. Also useful is shift+tab, which reveals/hides only your panels (layers, color, etc whatever you have open last time you hid) but doesn't affect visibility of the context bar, menus, or tool pallet.

Anyone know how to JUST show the contextual pallet?

Why is it when there's porn there's always a full proof plan to hide it?

Don't you know? When it comes to porn men are like batman :batman: They go all out, like no tomorrow - they've got the hidden cavern under the house stash, tap the gargoyle statue three times to reveal a spinning book case then-... But the wife finds 'it' in the VCR..

I'm sure women become Batgirl too

That is nice, and i sometimes do that (until recently, due to new video card issues), but other times like to have a second application open (like illustrator). Sometimes i also prefer to have a "second window" of my document open so i can always see a 100% view; great if you make zoomed edits on the other window.

F7 for Layer but for the eye icon its already part of the layer, I think no shortcut key for that...

The only way is to customize it from the menu alt+shift+crtl+k
From there you'll find it quickly.
