Keyboard Shortcuts and Cheatsheets for Design Software

T

here’s a large market of design software out there and it seems to just keep growing. Designers often specialize to master a few programs, but career-wise it’s good to at least learn the basics of all major design software.

These basics include fundamental techniques, what can be created, and tricks of the trade.

I’ve put together a handful of keyboard shortcuts and design cheatsheets for everything from Photoshop to WordPress(yes WP has shortcuts). All of these are free to use and bookmark for future reference as needed.

And if I’ve missed any great resources please add them in the comments below.

Photoshop

There’s no denying that Photoshop is the most-used design software. It offers tools for photo editing, compositing, UI design, digital painting, and a whole lot more.

I recently found this incredible cheatsheet dedicated to keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop CC. It’s the perfect resource for designers just getting into Adobe creative software who want to pick up a power user workflow.
