Option + Delete

When using Photoshop on the iPad with a physical keyboard, you can use the keyboard shortcut Option + Delete to fill the current selection with the foreground color. This is useful for quickly filling in large areas of color, or for adding solid colors to your images.

To use the keyboard shortcut, simply press the Option and Delete keys simultaneously. This will fill the current selection with the foreground color, regardless of whether it is a pixel-based selection, a vector-based selection, or a layer mask.

Here are some additional keyboard shortcuts for filling in Photoshop on the iPad:

  • Command + Delete: Fill with the background color.
  • Command + Shift + Backspace: Fill with the foreground color, preserving transparency.
  • Command + Option + Delete: Fill with the background color, preserving transparency.
