how do i hide Photoshop? and weird arrow button?

[cb911]

it annoys me when i always have to go and use the menu to hide Photoshop. i want to use the shortcut, but i don't know what the weird 'up' symbol is.

and when a shortcut is listed as 'up arrow'(in picture form) +cmd +k what keys do i press to get that?

the picture should explain better. all i want to know is what keys do i press to do these two shortcuts?

The '^' means control. So to hide PS: command-ctrl-h

The up arrow means shift. So to get to the colour settings: command-shift-k

The outlined arrow is the shift key and I think the half arrow is also the shift key, does anyone know the really truth

Or alternatively just tick 'Use System Shortcut Keys' in General Preferences.

yes! yes! YES!!

thanks Beej!

and kennethmac2000, is that PS prefrences, or OS X prefs? and does that just show 'cmd' instead of arrow or something?


edit>> i just found the prefrences you're talking about in Photoshop prefs. now i'm even happier!! back to the good old 'cmd+h' to hide.
