Hot keys are designed to reduce the time when performing the same action.
In photoshop For the convenience of users, the use of a huge number of hot keys is provided. An appropriate combination is assigned almost every function.

If you need any feature in your work, then find out which combination it corresponds to, you can, finding it (function) in the program menu.
What to do if the functions you need is not assigned a combination? And here the photoshop developers went to meet us, giving the opportunity not only to change the hotkeys, but also assign their own.
To change or assign combinations, go to the menu "Editing - keyboard cuts".
Here you can find all the hotkeys in the program.
Hot keys are assigned as follows: Kiam at the desired item and, in the field that opens, we enter a combination as if we used it, that is, in succession and with hold.
If the combination you entered is already present in the program, then Photoshop is definitely married. You will need to enter a new combination or, if you change the existing one, press the button "Cancel changes".
Upon completion of the procedure, click the button "Accept" and "OK".
This is all you need to know about the hot key ordinary user. Be sure to take themselves to use them. It is fast and very convenient.
