Hot key for "flatten layers" on CS3?

I have been been clicking this and that. I'm trying to learn all my hot keys, but can't seem to find one for merge layers. Is there one? Or is there a way I can make there be one?

If there is a guide on the hot keys, please let me know Thanks!!!

i just do Ctrl + E

might just flatten the topmost layer, but works.

{ctl}+{shf}+e will merge all visible layers.

years ago, when layers were just about in PS, I made an action to flatten layers and bound it to an F key, i still use the same action to this day..

I don't think there's a hot key, but on a PC you can just go Alt-L-F. Works for me!

ctrl-e is merge down (which can also be useful)

ctrl-shift-e Flattens

alt-L-F works too, but I find that to be a bit more work

So thanks everyone for your input. Thanks Dennis, as I wil be using your recommended method. This will make things a bit more convenient for myself!

I'm not big on shortcuts, but I find this to be the most useful shortcut there is. Before I discovered it was always Copy Merged + Paste.

Edit: Oops, I meant ctl+alt+shift+E

The shortcuts are found in the Help (F1) section. I'm a big fan of the shortcuts.

Noted F1 for further questions

Cmd+Shift+E merges all visible layers. This is different from flatten if you don't have a "background" layer.

Alt-L-F? (OSX here)

Ctrl+Shift+Alt+e merge all visible layers as a new layer
