I am using PS CC 2015 on my windows 10 machine. When I press CTRL some guidelines will appear indicating the distance between the selected layer and the layer which the mouse is pointing to, as seen in the picture below.
First, is there a name for this "feature"? Secondly, on My mac I am using the same version PS CC, but I tried pressing CTRL, Command or ALT but none of them will bring up the guidelines. So does PS CC on Mac not provide this feature?

These are "Smart Guides". Go on View on the top tool bar. You will see an option called "show" and click on "Smart Guides". The guides will appear.
Turns out this is a feature of the very latest PS. I upgrade it and it works.
Make sure you have Smart Guides turned on: "View > Show > Smart Guides".
Have your mouse over the canvas and hold CTRL for Windows or Command for Mac.
