Now there is a keyboard that ought to be able to handle just about any shortcuts!

Unfortunately it seems that there are only 20 programmable keys, the rest are application specific shortcuts.
Better get 3 Tirpo 128-key matrices and customize it to perfection!
Ask kbdfr! He'd know!

I meant it for Andrew, who so boldly suggested a layout designed by 7bit, which will be produced........just in time for our grand-children to use!

My oldest grandchild is 7, so maybe by the time he finishes high school?

That's a tight deadline in 7bit space.

My Tipro board with MX blacks

It feels embarrassed.

There are other answers to this problem, such as my daily driver:

Or the one I'm selling in this thread:

You can program every key on it, but I will admit that if you try to do really funky things like I am on the matrix keyboard, you may encounter ghosting issues because the matrix is optimized for the alpha area being at lower left, not upper right.

If you really want up to 144 programmable/macro keys, get the G86-63400 and use it just for that, retaining your normal keyboard for typing. You will have to replace the two 2U keys at lower right with four 1U keys to do this, but what do you know, I'm selling some of those too.

I have over 30 of the bottom one, but they do not give enough extra keys

Every key on it can be used as an "extra key". You'd just have to do your actual typing on a second keyboard if you did that.

You are giving me ideas, and my husband will tell you that is not a good thing to do! Probably best if I tackle this after I get my parents moved, in another month or so

... and what if any of those shortcuts changes in the next version of PS? Then the Shortcut-S will be obsolete.

Still ridiculous. Instead of (or in addition to) the user learning the shortcuts on a regular keyboard, she would have to learn what
each icon means - that is not always straightforward.
