Photoshop-ish Keyboard Shortcuts for The Gimp 2.2
- UPDATED 2005.01.01 -

To get keyboard shortcuts in The Gimp 2.2 that resemble those in Photoshop, download this file: ps-menurc and rename it to menurc.

Copy it here:
Linux/Mac:     ~/.gimp-2.2
Windows:     C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\.gimp-2.2

The tables below show which Photoshop keyboard shortcuts (bindings) are mapped to The Gimp in the ps-menurc file.  Most of the matches are essentially identical features found in both programs, and the rest are the closest match I could find.  Granted, these programs are not necessarily clones of each other, so there are features on both sides that lack a matching counterpart.   The Gimp (a la GTK) allows you to dynamically assign any keyboard shortcut to whatever you want, so give that a shot - it's a gas!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or additions.

*The current ps-menurc is based on the Gimp 2.2.1/Photoshop 6.
*An older version is available for Gimp 2.0 here.
