Keyboard shortcut won't save

[jferris33]

I have Photoshop CS6 on my Windows 8 PC and have several keyboard shortcuts that I use all the time that work fine.

Recently I tried to add a new keyboard shortcut for the Dust and Scratches filter. I set it up as CTRL-F8 and it works fine until I close CS6 and then restart it. Then this shortcut is gone as if it never existed but all my other shortcuts are still there and work fine.

I did save the keyboard shortcuts file and have checked to see if the file is there (it is). The file saves as "Photoshop Defaults (modified) Copy.kys".

I have researched this problem on the internet and in this forum but so far have not been able to find a solution.

Here is the first portion of my keyboard shortcuts file:

<?xml version ="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<photoshop-keyboard-shortcuts version="4" filename="$$$/FileName/Presets/KeyboardCustomization/PhotoshopDefaultsmodifiedCopy=Photoshop Defaults (modified) Copy" modified="1">
<command kind="dynamic" name="Noiseware Professional...">
<shortcut>Ctrl+F3</shortcut>
</command>
<command kind="dynamic" name="FocalBlade 2.02...">
<shortcut>Ctrl+F2</shortcut>
</command>
<command kind="dynamic" name="Dust &amp; Scratches...">
<shortcut>Ctrl+F8</shortcut>
</command>
<command kind="dynamic" name="Vanishing Point">
<shortcut>Alt+Ctrl+V</shortcut>

<command kind="dynamic" name="Liquify">
<shortcut>Shift+Ctrl+X</shortcut>
</command>
<command kind="dynamic" name="Lens Correction">
<shortcut>Shift+Ctrl+R</shortcut>
</command>
<command kind="dynamic" name="Wide Angle Correction">
<shortcut>Shift+Ctrl+A</shortcut>
</command>
<command kind="dynamic" name="HDR Toning...">
<shortcut>Ctrl+F7</shortcut>

I would greatly appreciate some help with this.

Thanks

I don't know if this is the problem for sure but try making another shortcut without and with f keys. In the past I've had problems with f keys but I'm also thinking it could be a permission problem with windows. It's not allowing the program to modify the file?? So if you can make another hotkey without an f key and it saves it it just doenst like th e f keye but if it does not it might be a windows issue.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried setting up a hotkey without an f key but it will not save either.
