About customizing keyboard shortcuts

Photoshop lets you view a list of all shortcuts, and edit or create shortcuts. The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box serves as a shortcut editor, and includes all commands that support shortcuts, some of which aren’t addressed in the default shortcut set.

In addition to using keyboard shortcuts, you can access many commands using context-sensitive menus. Context-sensitive menus display commands that are relevant to the active tool, selection, or palette. To display a context-sensitive menu, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) in the document window or palette.

need instructions for copying shortcuts I have in CS2

There's a lot of layer shortcuts I'd like to customize, too, how can I do so?
(Things like: select layer above/below etc.) Somehow they got left out in the
custom shortcut menu, what gives?

Please see this help topic:

In step 3, select either Application Menus or Palette Menus, and then expand Layer in the list below.

Thanks for the reply!

I can't seem to find "select layer above / or below" there though.

(I did find "Hide Layer" - that's half of the shortcuts I was looking for! :)

Why are not all keys configurable? I mean, sure, I don't see myself(...)
modifying the space=pan shortcut anytime soon, but why the inconsistency?

Thanks in advance!

That's a good question. I encourage you to submit a feature request here:
