There's a very cool shortcut in Illustrator: you press Command/CTRL+d and Illustrator repeats the last action for you.

Is there a shortcut that does this or at least something similar in Photoshop?

Sort of....

The closest thing to this is Edit > Transform > Again -- Command/CTRL-Shift-T --- But this only works for transformations. And it only repeats the last transformation. Unlike Illustrator, it won't do things like repeat a copy and transform.

  • The "Last Filter" shortcut also repeats, well, the last filter

  • Today is not the first time I've gotten Ai and Ps mixed up and Googled how to do this in Ps. D'oh! Despite not being able to use this for click-drag duplication, I just found a workaround by duplicating the layer in place, then using this shortcut to repeat the last-used move transformation.

Actually, there is. Under Edit > Step and Repeat or CMD/CTRL + ALT + U.

    Interesting. I'm not seeing that in my Photoshop menus.

  • Nor I; also the shortcut listed does nothing for me in a plain-jane install of PS CC 2019

  • Didn't work for me when I tested. I tried after duplicating and also after transforming.
