Faster way to get from enter text to Select tool?
Nancy asks: I have Photoshop CS, Windows  version and my question is: when I'm finished typing text what is the shortcut that takes you back to the select tool (v) I've tried, shift v; alt v; ctrl v and variations of and it just gives me a typed letter v. I know you addressed this long ago but I can't remember what it is.

 

Answer: Unfortunately, my only PC doesn't have a keyboard attached (it's a tablet). On a Mac, you press Enter (instead of Return) to get out of text entry mode, then press V to make the Move tool active (either that, or manually click on the move tool in the tool palette without pressing Enter first). So, on Windows, it's got to be something similar. Maybe try the enter key that is on your numeric keyboard or something like that.
