Photoshop Keyboard Shortcut: Anyone know the keyboard shortcut for "Fill path with foreground color"? I can't find it anywhere and usually you can google and find something, so I'm thinking maybe there isn't one, and you just gotta click it in the paths tab. Thanks..

I don't know the answer, nor have I even worked with Paths, but you can create a "Macro" (Action) in Photoshop and give it a keyboard shortcut, and there's no reason a macro has to contain multiple steps.

is it different from the one provided when you click Edit || Fill ?

Right-clicking (or Ctrl+clicking) gives you access to the "Fill Path…" command.

And in later versions of Photoshop (not sure when they started it?), you can define your own custom shortcuts under Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts…

There isn't one by default, but as wemayfreeze suggest, you can add one by going to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and choosing Palette Menus.

Now if you want to fill a SELECTION, you can use Option+Delete (PC: Alt+Backspace) or -- to flll with the the background color, Command+Delete (PC: Control+Backspace).

Command+Enter will make a selection from the path, and then you can fill with Option+Delete with foreground (or Command+Delete with background)

Thanks, the edit>keyboard shorcuts worked and is pretty cool I never bothered to check it out. It still brought up a dialog box tho, so I tried the macro trick fogster mentioned and that did the job. Thanks for the tip man.
