Dear Adobe Photoshop Team:
14 years ago
Could you please supply me with the name and contact information of whoever came up with the bright idea that holding down Ctrl always should switch to the Move tool? As well as whatever focus group found all those users who were whining that hitting V, moving the layer, then the key for whatever tool they were just working on was toooo muuuuch worrrrk.
I especially like that there's no way to disable this "feature." And that it uses the same key I have to hold down to zoom in and out, toggle between vertical and horizontal scrolling, and undo, so I end up accidentally shifting entire layers a few pixels one way or another without noticing until I zoom all the way out and look at the finished product.
Anyway, if you could send me all of their home addresses, that'd be great. I want to send them a, um, gift basket. You know, to let them know how much I appreciate the work they put into this fine product.
P.S. If you could send the address of the person who designed Flash MX's brush tool too, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm generally biased against Adobe anyway. I've been saying for years that they can't program. And I'll stand by that opinion as long as I keep seeing complaints like yours!
Wait, you have to press Ctrl to zoom in and out? Just pressing + and - on the keypad doesn't do that? If it's possible to reconfigure any of the keyboard shortcuts (like in PSP8), then maybe you should see what you can do there.
