The keyboard shortcut for the Move Tool in Photoshop on the Web is V.

You can use this shortcut to quickly select the Move Tool from any other tool that you are currently using. Once the Move Tool is selected, you can use it to move layers, selections, and other objects around the canvas.

To move an object, simply click on it with the Move Tool and drag it to the desired location. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the object in smaller increments.

If you need to move an object more precisely, you can use the Free Transform mode. To do this, press Ctrl+T on Windows or Command+T on Mac. This will bring up a bounding box around the object. You can then use the handles on the bounding box to resize, rotate, or skew the object.

To exit Free Transform mode, press Enter or Esc.

Here are some other keyboard shortcuts that you can use with the Move Tool:

Ctrl+D (Windows) or Command+D (Mac): Deselects the current selection.
Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Mac): Undoes the last action.
Ctrl+Y (Windows) or Command+Y (Mac): Redoes the last action.
Spacebar: Temporarily switches to the Hand Tool. This allows you to pan around the canvas without having to deselect the object that you are moving.
Shift+arrow keys: Moves the object in smaller increments.

You can also customize the keyboard shortcuts for the Move Tool and other tools in Photoshop on the Web. To do this, go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Here are some tips for using the Move Tool in Photoshop on the Web:

To move multiple objects at the same time, hold down the Shift key while clicking on the objects.
To move an object to a different layer, hold down the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) key while dragging the object.
To move an object to a specific location, you can use the Position tool in the Tools panel.
