Sometimes you have 50 states of history and are at the bottom and want to quickly see a snapshot at the top, without having to grab scroll bar, possible? thanks.

I limit my activities to 50 operations just to prevent it. I’m kidding. Good question.

Expand the History palette vertically by grabbing the bottom right corner.

Linda,

Just scroll to the top of that palette. If that is too slow for you, you have been pulling our legs with your questions.

No offence, but this is beyond me.

thanks Rob!:
thats what I’ve been doing for five years, scrolling to top.

This thread is asking what keystroke is available instead of scrolling.

Here is the question again:

Man, thank God, I’m a native English speaker.

Linda, Galumph’s answer demonstrates that he actually does understand the question. Because there is no shortuct key that will do it. So Galumph provided a workaround that will achieve the same effect. If your screen resolution allows it, you can arrange your palette so that all 50 history events, and say, two snapshots will always be visible. That’s how mine is set now.

If you can’t do it with 50, you can drop your saved history states to 48, or 45 in preferences to make the palette fit.

But there is no shortcut key to Jump to the top. That’s why Galumph provided the answer he did.

Some people want PS to perform a certain way, instead of optimizing what it does do.

However, if you’re dead set on a shortcut key, here’s a way…

Create an action that goes to a snapshot that you’ve taken. They are always at the top. You can assign a shortcut key to that action. So you would first make sure you have a snapshot at the top – you can make sure it’s automatically done in your preferences for when you first open an image. You record an action that goes to Snapshot 1.

Peace,

Tell me about it. At least we haven’t had the request for a built in coffee maker lately. 😉

Linda: Trefor Morris has compiled a list of all Adobe’s Keyboard Shortcuts, along with several new ones in his extended set.

You can download them from < http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloads/PSCS2_HotKeys_1-6-1.z ip>

and print out a PDF guide to them from <http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloads/PSCS2_Shortcuts.pdf>

Tony’s suggestion of an action, which you can assign to an F key, is your best bet for the history palette trick though.

Chris.

thanks Tony. If you have the energy, put up a screenshot of your palette setup, as it was hard to understand, but I got the rest.
