Please allow time for your comment to appear. It’s all about making Photoshop work for you. And, if you find yourself exclusively using the Custom Shape tool, no more having to cycle through the five other shape tools to get to it. No more cycling through the Type tools when you only use one of them. Similar to pages in Indesign CC, artboards can be different sizes and orientations and be arranged however suits your workflow. No more Pencil tool when you are expecting the Brush tool. Click Accept, then click OK to close the dialog box.Click on Artboard Tool, then choose Remove Shortcut.In the dialog box, open Shortcuts For and choose Tools. Artboard Tools (Sketch plugins) Arrange Artboards ( cmd+ctrl+1 ) Group Artboards (Rows) ( ctrl+opt+1 ) Group Artboards (Columns) ( ctrl+opt+2 ) Zoom.In the Menu Bar, choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.If you’re a shortcut lover like me and you find yourself being annoyed at the activation of unwanted tools, know that you can remove or change any keyboard shortcut in Photoshop–including PSCC and earlier versions. So, I found a work work around and I thought you should know about it. But what a girl really wants is to have her cake and eat it too. Yes, I know this is a by product of preferring to not use the Shift key for tool switch. Since the introduction of the Artboard Tool in PSCC, I get annoyed every time I press the letter V to get the Move tool and get the Artboard tool instead.

Shortcuts are the bomb, but not when they’re annoying. Note: The preference for using the Shift key to tool switch can be found in Preferences > Tools. I’m the “don’t” and this is my PSCC rant. Then press Option (MacOS) or Alt (Windows) and drag an exact copy of the artboard and its contents.

To duplicate an existing artboard, select an artboard with the Artboard tool. You can resize it by dragging a corner handle with the Artboard tool.

Those who use the Shift key to tool switch Add an artboard Select the Artboard tool in the Toolbar, and drag on the canvas to create an artboard.

It really all comes down to this: there are two types of shortcut users.

Calling all Photoshop shortcut lovers! Stop getting stuck with that annoying Artboard tool.
