Is that something you've chopped?

Put a PA logo on one of the keys and submit it to a W**** competition :)

No, this is a real keyboard - I think there's a Mac equivalent too.

Lots of keyboards for lots of programmes ..... Hmmmmmm how daft! :)

I can understand overlays, especially for things like flight-sims (I can never work with the amount of keys those things use) but PS is not exactly difficult to learn.

I mean, Z is zoom, T is Text.

The photoshop keyboard was brought to you by the letters, P, Q and the numbers 1 to 9 and is a production of the Children's Application Workshop

Holy crap! Do they have one for Paintshop Pro? That's really something!

I don't think so (not that I've checked).

Whatever will they think of next? Maybe they'll do one for Word. :)

I don't know why but I've never gotten in the habit of using shortcuts, so to me who's so unfamiliar, it would be a big help. I could always just print that image out, and lay it over my keyboard, til I get the hang of all of them.. :p :)

I've always used shortcuts, I think it's because when I started using computers, a mouse was still something that had housewives screaming on chairs in early 50s sitcoms.

I don't panic when Windows says 'it did not detect a mouse' :)

This reminds me of the Network Admins I know. They all look at the mouse with smugness. They'd rather hit all kinds of key-combinations than move that thing around.

For example, did you know that CTRL+ESC will minimize a game so you can check email.
And CTRL+SHIFT+ESC will bring up the Task Manager.
Oh and ALT+F4 Closes anything on the screen.

Windows key+D toggles the desktop (minimises everything) on 98 and above, great for when you are reading PA at work :)

I kinda did, until I discovered I could navigate to at least some places using the arrow and tab keys, lol

I use a few shortcuts myself at times.
"Windows+E"=opens Windows Explorer
"Windows+R= Opens the Run Dialog Box
etc...
