Keyboard selection of layers

I'm more of a keyboard user than a mouse user and would like to select layer with the keyboard (ie. move up or down selecting layers in the timeline with keystrokes like ctrl-down/ctrl-up in AfterEffects) but can't seem to find a way to assign that action to a keystroke. I've found the "Keyboard Shortcuts" off the Edit Menu but the only command associated with selection seems to be Select All. Would love to see something like this in a later version. Thanks.

Thanx Todd.
I understand the Composition Import workflow and the "open select close open select close" individual layer workflow...but I thought that this would have been improved by "popular demand" by now.
I will make a Feature Request.
Currently working with a client that puts all his "eggs in one basket".
eg. One psd has 20 -30 layers ( for maximum flexibility in post production and optional layers ) . When I only need 3- 5 of them at a time...the import workflow is kind of tedious.
Thinking : Surely it would be easy enough for the Import Multiple files function to allow the Import window to remain open on the selected psd to enable checking of a layer selection from within it before.... 'Done'.

Can't select multiple layers

This sounds very obvious, I know.
But! I have lost the ability to select multiple layers. Shift, Command, Control Click. Nothing works. I can't select them with the selection box like I used to either. There must be a setting or something that I accidentally clicked? If I can't select multiple layers I basically can't do anything including grouping or linking or merging layers in additon to a bunch of other stuff that is crutial!
This is driving me batty.
Thanks in advance.

To supplement this it might also be a conflict with a third party software as well.
If the keyboard tmethsd of resetting the preferences doesn't work then
1. Quit Photoshop
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new preferences file.
Also if you recently updated your system there might be a conflict with the systems key board shortcuts, Like Spotlight, Universal access, dashboard and Exposé or asI said before it could be something like Quicken.
Have you installed anything lately.

Is there a way to select all layers at once?

I have a bunch of layers, WITHOUT holding down control and clicking each one, one by one, is there a button or shortcut to just auto highlight all the layers, Im trying to move them around evenly together on the canvase at once.
Thanks

You can also Select all Layers by clicking on the top, or the bottom, then holding down Shift and clicking on the other (top, or bottom). That will Select the Background, but as Conroy points out, it cannot be Moved, so you might not want to use that, depending on what your next operation will be.
If you do wish to perform certain operations, including the Background Layer, you can first Dbl-click on it, and convert it to a "regular" Layer.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't select multiple layers with shift/ctrl in Photoshop CC

I honestly can't find a damn thing about this in google searches, other than one poor soul who had the problem on PS5 years ago and just reset their preferences to fix it. None of my more experienced artist co-workers have any idea either.. Well I've tried resetting prefs, restarting photoshop, rebooting PC, and finally reinstalling photoshop.
I'm on a corporate CC account with my own login, I got a photoshop update that happened yesterday, in the middle of all this. I was hoping that might fix it, but no. I tried signing out of the CC account and signing back in, still nothing. I"m out of ideas.
If I create a new PSD, and create multiple empty layers, I still can't multi-select the layers. I can only ever select a single layer at a time. What else can I possibly be missing?

Here it is, hopefully this doesn't reveal too much personal info!

Can't select/change layers in main work area

Been working with PSE11 for a few months. Yesterday it developed a problem. I can no longer click on the layer in the main work area but have to go to the layer panel to select it. What do I need to do to change this back to where it works like it should??

Something to check:
With the tools panel showing in the bottom of the screen, select the selection tool (arrow). Then look in the bottom tool panel to see if the automatic selection of layers is checked.

I want to select similar layers but my "select/similar" is not working. How do I fix it?

I cannot do a "select/similar" in CS6 nor can I do a "Apply/Image". Can someone help me?
Thanks

sorry about that, first time asking for help.
I shot a raw picture. Worked on it in A. Bridge. Open the pict. In cs6 (for PC)
1/ made a layer copy of the background.
2/ made an adjustment layer in b&w.
3/ made an adjustment layer / filter
4/ made an adjustment layer / contrast
At this point I a went to "select / similar". Similar was not highlighted. I right clicked on one of the layers in the layer panel. Same pb. I could not use "link layers" nor "select linked layers".
Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to select multiple layers by selecting first and last layers?

I frequently get Illustrator files in that have individual objects such as paths on individual layers that could be grouped to make the layers more concise. I find that I have to shift click each individual layer to select it to eventually group it. At times, I have 25 or so layers that I need to select. Is there a way to select the first and last layer in the layers palette, and have Illustrator select all layers in between?

Katrina,
And I guess it's the way I work. 1) I routinely select objects by selecting them from the layers palette, and not the canvas, so that I can't accidentally move an object that is the clients artwork. I prefer to work this way, as I consider it "safer". (I lock layers I'm not using) I routinely run into artists work that for instance, converted fonts to outline, and now each compound layer that is an individual letter is an object on it's own layer. 2) I need things grouped together and titled so that if I need to come back to this file and quickly fix something on press, I can tell what layer holds what object.
3) Therefore, I frequently need to select objects in a two mile long (slight exaggeration ) list of layers/sublayers and group them, retaining them in their same layers in the event an effect has been applied at the top hiearchy of that layer.
It would be great if a key, or combination of keys, would allow me to select the top object, scroll down and select the last object, and have Illustrator select all between those two.
If you create and use selections as suggested in post #12, you do have to select individual objects when they share layers with other objects (but you can select whole layers as well) in exactly the way you are used to (1), but you only have to do it once instead of having to repeat it (3), and you have them collected with a title so you can find them again (2).
At least it is part of the way.

Can I view selected AI layers as a slideshow in Acrobat?

I have a multi-layered AI file I've opened in Acrobat. I can easily toggle the visibility of each layer. What I'd like to do is select various layers to view, then assign the various selections to bookmarks and ultimately view the file as a slideshow, complete with transitions. I'm guessing layers can't be controlled this way, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'll have to duplicate the page, which would really increase the file size. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray

If I remember correctly acrobat does slideshows using pages not layers. So you would have to copy the ai file to the next page and enable which ever layers need to be visible.
To reduce file size, it may be better to have a single ai file per page with only one layer. I beleive AI has a script for export layers to files. though I may be thinking of photoshop.

Keyboard selection in Leopard Terminal

Does anyone know where the keyboard selection has gone in the Leopard Terminal? I.e., the command-option-enter command, then selecting some text using it two times more, which then could be pasted.
I quite liked it, especially as I don't like mice/mouses/pointing devices. Is it still there under a different short cut, or just completely gone?

I am also looking for this. For those of you unfamiliar, here is a summary of what Keyboard Selection can do http://www.macworld.com/article/59321/2007/08/termtext.html

I am using the trial version of CC and cannot get the auto blend layers working despite following many videos on youtube etc. I have selected all layers but no matter which order I select etc all I get is an output of the first file in the stack - help!!

Urxvt-keyboard-select - mouseless text selection in urxvt

Hello again,
my next urxvt extension reached a stable stage, so it's time to post it here: keyboard-select
Please have a look at the top of the file for details on how to use it, or read the README on github.
The usage is comparable to tmux/gnu screen, but its mappings are more vim-like.
As for now, the most basic cursor movement keys are available, I'm planning to add the following in the near future: [fFwWbBeE;,/?nN]
And this time I've also managed to upload a PKGBUILD before writing this post...

@hitsmaxft: Your extension looks nice, I will try it out later. But your one always uses urxvt's selection for highlighting; I use rendition bits for that, because I want a chance to cancel visual mode without losing the content of the primary buffer. It also misses some delete statements, for example, it always creates a new overlay without deleting the old one.
I will continue developing mine (at least just for the fun of it), even if your one already features everything I'd plan to implement.
For all the emacs lovers: I will try to provide vim and emacs keybindings, but I didn't come up with a nice way of handling this. And by nice I mean no code duplication and no complex key dispatcher, taking up more code than the real functionality.
Be patient, or:
VCoolio wrote:... but we could also modify the keys in the script ourselves of course. If only I wasn't that lazy... but who knows.

Selecting multiple layers

how do i select multiple layers in cs5. when i hold shift key and select two are more layers it is not selecting those other layers. kindly help

you select the top layer then hold shift then select a lower one and every one in between is selected. Just like windows files selection
if you just want say layer 3 6 10 and 29 then you hold ctrl when selecting each layer
hope this helps you

Simultaneously select multiple layers and sublayers

Hello
I am having to select multiple layers and their sublayers in Illustrator 2014, but taking the procedure described in the post below only lets you select multiple "main layers" with the sublayers left unselected.
Re: Is it possible to select multiple layers by selecting first and last layers?
Would someone please explain how both layers and sublayers can be selected in the Layers panel?
Getting more and more confused about the layer control in Illustrator..
Thank you in advance,
Ead

Ead,
I believe it is a matter of implicit selection, which may be a bit diconcerting.
You may try this:
1) Create a (small) number of layers with sublayers (or use the set yopu have), and tick Paste Remembers Layers;
2) ShiftClick first and last (relevant) and Ctrl/Cmd+C;
3) Create a new document and Ctrl/Cmd+F.
Is anything missing (obviously, everything copied has been selected)?

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.
