Pro tip: Layer grouping in Photoshop used to kill my flow, but I found a magic button.

I kept getting stuck trying to organize dozens of layers one by one. It was such a DRAG and made everything slow. Yesterday, I accidentally hit a key command that groups them all instantly. My speed literally DOUBLED on a big file. Feeling pretty stoked about this tiny victory.

Ever have one of those days where you're just randomly smashing keys out of frustration? Ngl, I was the same as @robins92 thinking some shortcuts were overhyped until I fat-fingered a similar combo. Honestly, those little wins where you stop fighting the software and it just works are the best feeling.

Seriously, doubling your speed from one button sounds like hype.

Wait, what exactly is that key command you stumbled on? I remember reading a blog post about hidden Photoshop shortcuts that pros use all the time. It said that most users waste hours on manual tasks like layer grouping because they never learn the quick ways. I used to be the same, clicking through menus until my wrist hurt, and it just messed up my flow. But once you find those little tricks, it's like unlocking a new level of speed, just like you said. It's crazy how such a small thing can make such a big difference in your workflow.
