To apply path operations to shapes after they are created, select the desired shapes on a single layer and use the following shortcuts:. In the illustration below, the the circles in the first group were drawn from left to right, on a single shape layer with the path operation set to Combine Shapes. In the second grouping, the middle circle was selected and the path operation was changed to Exclude Overlapping Shape.
Because path operations only affect paths below the selected path, only the first circle was affected. In the last grouping, the center circle was selected and the Path Operation was also set to Exclude Overlapping Shapes.

Note: even though the initial rectangle shape might not have been drawn in perfect alignment to the pixel grid, Photoshop automatically snapped the rectangle shape to that grid because the preference was enabled.
You can easily edit your shape properties directly using on-canvas controls or accessing Shape Properties under the Properties panel. On-canvas controls make your interaction with shapes more intuitive. You can use on-canvas transform and rounding controls to adjust the appearance of your shape.
The keyboard modifiers will work the same way for on-canvas transform controls as they work in Transform tool in Photoshop. You can modify the radius of all corners of your shape at once or hold Alt Win or Option Mac as you drag to change the radius of a single corner.
For triangles, all corners will be modified even if you drag one of them. Easily rotate a shape using the on-canvas rotate handle that appears as you hover over your shape on the canvas. Click the reset icon in the properties panel to reset all modifications at any time.

You can access the custom shape properties only for the shapes drawn using the Custom Shape Tool and not when a path has been converted to a shape. In the Paths panel, select a path—either a vector mask for a shape layer, a work path, or a saved path. The new shape appears in the Shape pop-up panel in the options bar.
