Must Have Shortcuts for Designers | Cheat Sheets

Written by Blake McCreary on Sep 13, 2009 | View Comments Comments

Being a good designer isn’t just about pushing out attractive pieces of work. One thing that an employer takes into consideration other than your portfolio is your ability to be reliable and provide design work on a timely basis. Your efficiency dictates the amount of work you can complete within your work day. I’ve dedicated this post to sharing links to resources which can speed up your projects starting with Adobe Photoshop shortcuts and exploring deeper into the codex of popular development languages. These are my most frequented cheat sheets. Please feel free to share your resources below in the comment thread because I’m sure there are plenty of other code lists that readers here would like to know about.

Adobe Photoshop Shortcuts (Mac and PC)

Note: In Photoshop, shortcuts are customizable by using the Keyboard Shortcuts command. Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
