About Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts

Adobe Photoshop keyboard shortcuts can dramatically improve your editing speed and efficiency. These shortcuts work across different versions of Photoshop, though some may vary slightly between Windows and macOS.

Platform Differences

Option key on Mac is equivalent to Alt on Windows
Delete key on Mac is equivalent to Backspace on Windows
Forward Delete on Mac is equivalent to Delete on Windows
