UI parity: tools, handles, modifiers and feel
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-14 · Change: minor (Show Transform Controls frames every selected layer; guide keys and clicks; menu bar from the keyboard, #4988; Crop tool Content-Aware Fill; on-canvas corner radius widgets, TOOL-214-12; Curvature Pen edits the active path; Clip Thumbnails to Layer Bounds; Pen ⇧ 45°; last selected tool restored at launch; Layers panel filter-type dropdown with Kind, Name and Mode, #5048; Free Transform box and marching ants follow the selection, #5297; History: the trash deletes the selected snapshot, rows drag onto the trash, #5324; smart filter reordering by drag; smart object perspective row corrected to done, #426; Free Transform H/V skew fields; toolbar tool shortcuts can be reassigned; ⇧-dragged guides land on ruler ticks; layer and selection keys; tool keys; spring-loaded tool letters; type formatting keys; Pen Auto Add/Delete, #4144; smart filter rows; stale missing-tool rows corrected: Color Replacement, Red Eye and the Add/Delete Anchor Point pair are live toolbar tools, Frame landed; no percentage changed) · Target: Adobe Photoshop 2026
How PhotoCraft's direct manipulation compares with Photoshop 2026 (27.11.0): the toolbox, the
handles and modifier keys of each gesture, nudging, snapping, numeric precision, navigation,
shortcuts and panels. Painting feel has its own checklist in brush-parity.md
and right-click menus in context-menu-parity.md. The design system
(themes, tokens, widgets) is ui-design.md.
Status: done (behaves as in Photoshop, with a test), partial (exists, differs or untested),
missing. Evidence is a file under crates/ui-egui/src/ unless another path is given, a
scorecard id, or an issue. Modifier names are macOS first (⌘ ⌥ ⇧); Windows/Linux use Ctrl and Alt.
Summary (estimated, weights = how often the gesture is used): ~40% ready. Tools 56/68
present (82%, measured). Free Transform modifiers and Crop are close to Photoshop; the gaps are
in the long tail of modifiers, in-transform UI, spring-loaded tools, panels and preferences.
Remaining: 60–110 h for transforms and modifiers (gap G5), 60–100 h for tools (G6), 150–250 h
for panels and workspace (G9).
Tools
Measured: the Tool enum (state.rs:64) and TOOL_SECTIONS (panels.rs:17, 22 flyout slots)
against the 67 <tool> entries of Photoshop's Default Keyboard Shortcuts.kys plus Remove,
Triangle and Curvature Pen (minus legacy Rounded Rectangle and Targeted Adjustment) = 68.

| Brush size/hardness keys on non-US layouts |
done (#3109): [ ] need AltGr on many layouts, so Photoshop uses other keys there (German: Ö / #, ⇧ for hardness). layout_keys.rs has a data table of such layouts (LAYOUTS, add rows to support one more) and a fallback for all others: the keys at the US [ / ] positions act as [ / ] when they don't type brackets.

One type.setStyle step per press (new leadingBy/baselineShiftBy/trackingBy; auto leading starts from its laid-out value); the global ⇧⌘K/U/B/I never fire while typing. Differs: a collapsed caret in non-empty text changes nothing, since the model can't hold a pending style for the next characters typed (empty text takes it as its typing style) (type_tool.rs, input_tests.rs type_tool_format_keys_*) |

minor |
Menu bar from the keyboard: Alt / F10 focus, Alt+letter, underlined mnemonics (#4988) |

Layers panel filter row: Kind is a real dropdown with Kind, Name and Mode filters, drivable by ui.set {layerFilter} (#5048); row added as partial |
| 2026-10-13 |
minor |
Stale "missing tool" rows corrected against main: Color Replacement (paint.colorReplacement), Red Eye (paint.redEye) and Add/Delete Anchor Point (the P flyout cycle) are live toolbar tools, so only Art History Brush is missing; no percentage or estimate changed |
| 2026-10-13 |
minor |
Smart object perspective (non-affine) corrected to done: #426 landed four-corner placements with PSD round trip; scorecard FILE-215-6 flipped |
| 2026-10-10 |
major |
First version, from a source audit against Photoshop 2026 27.11.0's shortcuts file and the open issues |
| 2026-10-12 |
minor |
Closed #3632: Distort and Ctrl/Cmd corner drags snap actual corners to guides and intersections; shared guide snapping respects Extras and Canvas Guides visibility, with offset, visibility and constrained-alignment regressions |
| 2026-10-10 |
minor |
Fixed Crop live resize snapping feedback and outdated-camera rendering, applied ratios immediately to centred inscribed previews, and removed two-point options-bar overflow; added pointer, rendering, dropdown/Enter, Swap/X and scrolling regressions |
| 2026-10-11 |
minor |
