While I was working in Photoshop, I accidentally found a very cool shortcut which allows you to drag the inactive selection around. Have you ever tried to make a precise rectangle selection, but dragged at the wrong position, and you had to release your mouse and re-drag again? Well, next time before you release your mouse button, hold down the Spacebar and Photoshop will allow you to drag the selection around.

Test it now:

• use the Rectangular Marquee tool
• drag any where in your document (don’t release your mouse yet)
• then hold down the Spacebar
• now you can drag the selection around

This also works for Crop and Shape tools (Photoshop and Illustrator).
