Acorn now supports this function, so I use that instead.

If you really need this functionality it could be possible to achieve the effect you looking for with jsx (the scripting language for photoshop) but my programming knowledge of that script is too limited to make that happen for you. There is a full documentation online and i have a basic understanding of how to use it. YOu can try asking people at stack overflow to help you design a script that will do it or even ask people here (although you have higher chances on stack overflow since it requires programming knowledge)

Hope this helps :)

My question would be - why? The Canvas Size dialog is set up to allow you to precisely scale a canvas without scaling the contents or to precisely add pixels to one or more sides (e.g., move the anchor to the left / right / top / bottom and add pixels on the opposite side).

A quick Google search through "keyboard shortcuts Photoshop" yielded many useful shortcuts, but it would appear that there's little to no keyboard control over this built into Photoshop.

You could create a custom shortcut using these instructions, but I'm not sure if you'd actually be able to create a shortcut for this since there's no initial way to control it using the keyboard (hitting "tab" in the dialog box just moves you between the W and H measurements).
