i am really slow when it comes to editing and then realised that hotkeys make it quicker however i cant find a library of hotkeys and so i thought we could have a thread and build up a library of hotkeys.

my additions are:

new file-ctrl+n
open file-ctrl+o
 
This web site has a downloadable PDF for every keyboard shortcut for every version of Photoshop back to Photoshop 5 :thumbs:
 
I regularly use
CtrlA = select all
Ctrl H = deselect
As posted there are probably zillions, but my memory bank is low on RAM :D
 
cntl+shift+alt+E - creates a new layer above layers you already have with those layers all merged into it ;)
 
Google, or search on here for the 100 (or was it 101?) photoshop tips rap.
 
Prize for the first person to memorise them all? :)

CTRL+H isn't deselect it's hide selection normally
Deselect is CTRL+D
