Beginner-Friendly CSP Workspace (Keyboard + Pen)
Single-Key Shortcuts with ICC-Based Grayscale Preview

For People Who Keep Tweaking Workspace

Single-key shortcuts. Minimal modifiers.
This workspace is made to stop UI tweaking and get you back to drawing.

Opinionated shortcuts, simple layout, and a built-in grayscale/value check so you don’t need adjustment layers or constant setup.
If something doesn’t fit your habit, rebind it and move on.


Main Feature — Grayscale / Value Preview (ICC Workflow)
Includes a true grayscale/value preview using an ICC profile (shortcut: 3).
  • One-time setup

  • No adjustment layers

  • No temporary hacks

  • Works permanently once installed

This is meant to reduce thinking, not add another workflow step.


You can import the layout only, the shortcuts only, or both.

One-Time Setup (Required)

Color Picker (C key)
File → Preferences → Tools

  • Enable “Switch tool temporarily”

  • Set delay to 300 ms or lower

Without this, the C-key picker won’t behave correctly.

Grayscale Checker (ICC Profile)
Follow the guide here:

Notes:

  • To install the ICC profile, locate the CELSYS folder used by your system

  • Restart CSP if the profile doesn’t appear

  • Once applied to a new canvas, the profile remains available permanently

Notes
  • Timeline panel is placed bottom-left and can be removed.

  • F1, W, and Z are intentionally unassigned.

  • Most other shortcuts remain CSP default.

Shortcuts are not precious.
Change them if you want. The layout is the point.
