Shortcuts+

This script loads into Photoshop Elements an alternative set of keyboard shortcuts, that is based mainly on the standard Photoshop "hot keys". Besides that, the preset keeps the default PSE keystrokes whenever possible, and adds several customized shortcuts.

The extended set is intended for those used to working in full Photoshop.

Moreover, the Shortcuts+ allows you to use some undocumented features - for example, Curves and Soft Proof - without actually opening any E+ dialog.

The new shortcuts are available immediately on applying the script.

To get back the default PSE hot keys, just use the "Default Shortcuts" script.
