Note: Controls
related to some tools appear only when the tool is active.
- Click the tool’s button. If the button has a small triangle at its lower-right corner, hold down the mouse button to view the hidden tools. Then, click the tool you want to select.
- Press the tool’s keyboard shortcut. (Positioning the pointer over a tool button displays a tool tip with the tool’s name and keyboard shortcut.)
- To cycle through hidden tools, repeatedly press the tool’s keyboard shortcut.
- To momentarily change from one tool to another tool, hold down the shortcut key for the desired tool; release the shortcut key to return to the previous tool. (This technique does not work with all tools.)
- To view panels most relevant to the active tool, click
the panel button
if available.
For example, clicking this button when a paint tool is active opens the
Paint and Brush Tips panels.
