Has anyone tried to program the P-shop CS keyboard shortcuts for the pen tools to emulate the keyboard controls of the pen tool in P-Shop 4.0. I tried on the demo, but could not make the desired changes. Barry in Adobe Sales assures me that I can make the changes I want within the full version, but this ng has been very helpful, so I thought I’d ask you folks first.

To make myself perfectly clear, here’s how it works in P-shop 4, and what I wish to duplicate in CS

I select the Direct Selection Tool by pressing "p" enough times to cycle through the pen tool options. I hold down CTRL+Alt to get the add/subtract point tool; or I can hold down just the Ctrl key to get the convert point tool. Ctrl+shift allows me to convert a point and constrain the direction in which I can drag the new handles. Releasing these keys returns me to the Direct Selection tool.

My guess is that if I can create any of the key combination plus click shortcuts, I can do them all.

If anyone has the time or inclination to follow this up, I will be most grateful.

Thanx!
Debby
