I use only a few specific tools in photoshop. I frequently alt for zooming and color picking, to the point where my finger is always on it and frequently holding it down.
Unfortunately when you alt+click a tool, it cycles through the tools in that tool stack.
This always leads me to picking the wrong tool, and it's happened literally thousands of times.
Please tell me there's a way to disable to extremely annoying "feature".
There's no option in the Preferences for disabling the Alt+click functionality in tool groups, as far as I know.
You might want to try customizing the toolbar instead. If so, use Edit > Toolbar. You can change or remove tool groups in the Cusomize Toolbar dialog. You can click and drag tools out of a group and into the Extra Tools column if you don't need them, or click and drag a tool out of a group, so it's a single item. Obviously if there isn't a group, then Alt will do nothing.
