Blend mode keyboard shortcuts

I never used to use keyboard shortcuts for blend modes. Then about a year or so ago, I realized that the keyboard shortcuts for blend modes are actually very easy. It always involves the Option-Shift (PC: Alt-Shift) keys and then one letter that’s usually the first letter of the blend mode. For example, Option-Shift-M (PC: Alt-Shift-M) is Multiply. The letter O is Overlay. The letter S gets you Screen and so on. It doesn’t work for all of them (F is actually Soft Light) but it’s pretty darn close and since I’ve started using them I work a lot faster.
