Preventing the Properties Panel from Auto-Expanding when Drawing Shapes - When the Properties panel is collapsed to “icon” view, adding a shape automatically expands the panel (making it easier to access Shape Properties).

Option -dragging (Mac) | Alt -dragging (Win) increases/decreases the values more slowly while Shift -dragging decreases/increases the values more quickly. To view changes made using the Properties panel in real time, instead of entering values into the text boxes (which require tapping Enter or Return to preview changes), use Photoshop’s Scrubby sliders (position the cursor over the name of the feature: when the cursor changes to hand with arrows pointing in both directions, click-drag left/right to decrease/increase values).The Properties Panel­-After drawing a shape, use the Properties panel to change a shape’s attributes such as: flip, angle/rotation, radius, number of sides and star attributes (indent percentage and smooth radius) and Pathfinder commands. Reference Point-To change the Reference point for Shape layers (the Reference point is the point from which shapes are scaled and rotated using on-canvas transform controls), select Preferences > Tools > Show Reference Point when Using Transform. Note: To apply transformations such as Skew, Distort, Perspective, and Warp, select Edit > Transform Path however this will convert the Live Shape Properties to a regular shape. When multiple shapes are selected on a single layer, changing the attributes for one shape will change all selected shapes.There are no individual Corner Radius control points for the triangle tool at this time. Note: the Triangle and Polygon tools have a single Corner Radius control point handle which modifies the roundness of all corners equally. By default the corner radii are linked: Option -drag (Mac) | Alt -drag (Win) to change a single corner radius. Drag the Corner Radius control point to increase/decrease the radius of the shape.Note: to change the point from which shapes are scaled and rotated see “Reference Point” below. To reset a rotation, use the Properties panel. Position the cursor outside of a control point (the icon will change to a double headed arrow) to rotate.Add the Shift key to constrain proportions. Drag any control point to scale the shape.
