Keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator and Photoshop allow you to draw paths in a fluid manner with as few interruptions as possible. Ideally, you would draw as fluidly as if you were actually using a pen or pencil. While the pen tool is selected and you are actively drawing a path, pressing the following keys will bring up a different tool:
| Macintosh | Windows | Function |
| Command Option Shift |
Ctrl Alt Shift |
Selects the last selection tool Selects the Convert Direction Point Tool Constrains angle to 45° increments |
