Photoshop: azerty keyboard shortcut for \ (backslash- show and hide overlay mask) - make it assignable
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2628101
I am having an issue with displaying layer overlay, as I am working on a WIN10, PS CC machine, but I am based in Belgium (and using azerty keyboard) and therefor, I cannot reach the \ shortcut. For me, that is ALT GR+<, which PS does not recognize. It is driving me crazy! I have read articles and understand the menu shortcut is hidden (that is why I have just spent the last hour searching for it in vain, before I found this article).
I have also had to change "change brush size" in order to use my wacom intuos pro tablet some years ago (from "[" or "{" and "]" or "}" to "(" and ")". Does someone know how I can display the mask overlay (in ruby red, as Adobe calls it) for my machine? Reading the above, I don't fancy changing my keyboard just for PS and having to change it afterwards every time, as I often switch between browsing, emails, PS and LR.
My question is thus : Make the backslash key for showing/hiding the mask overlay assignable to another key in Photoshop.

This actually came up in a meeting just yesterday. I just fowarded this thread to all the attendees. I've also written a feature request for this particular instance. Hopefully, we can get it addressed soon.
That said, I INVITE more user stories to show why this is important to fix (and give me ammo to make that happen).
Thanks,
David

Indeed, all the keyboard shortcut system is #$@# !
It's bad to say, but this is something that's way beter on Gimp.
