: Photoshop shortcut for collapsing folders with square brackets? I'm working in a very complex Photoshop document with many folders. I'm quite shortcut-savvy and use the square brackets + control

I'm working in a very complex Photoshop document with many folders. I'm quite shortcut-savvy and use the square brackets + control and alt keys to select layers, reorder them, etc.

What would make my life much easier is if I could collapse folders using keyboard shortcut instead of collapsing them by clicking on the disclosure triangles.

For instance, if I could select a folder with ALT/OPTION [ , expand it with CTRL + ALT + ] (as an idea), check the contents, and then collapse it again with CTRL + ALT + [ (as an idea), that would make a world of difference to my workflow.

Does anyone know if this kind of shortcut exists?

Closing groups isn't scriptable and isn't actionable (sorry for the bad news).

You can option-click on a group to collapse or expand everything further down the hierarchy. So, you can close all groups in a document with a single click.

If you'd like a shortcut, I recommend posting on feedback.photoshop.com.

I don't think you can control layer group collapsing in any way other than a mouse click. I don't even think it's scriptable.

Your idea is a good one, but I don't believe there's any way to implement it currently. it would take some alteration on the part of Adobe to allow shortcut assignments or something.

Tab. Or do you still want to see your tools even though you're using shortcuts?
