: PS CS6: Confirm and deselect with Escape Are there settings in Photoshop CS6 to confirm and deselect for example a text frame when pressing escape? By default escape cancels the editing.

@Murray976

Use the Enter key.

Not Return or ESC keys.

Adobe logic is that ESC means "never mind" or "cancel" and never "commit".

As @BillyKerr points out, Adobe did add a preference option to alter the default behavior for text editing in more recent versions, but that is not going to be helpful for CS6.

This is for CC 2017, but I assume it's the same or similar in CS6.

Go into Preferences, and click the Type item in the menu.

Check the option "Use ESC key to commit text"
