Home/End keys do not work in FCE4

I'm on an Intel iMac with the iMac keyboard with numeric keypad, so I have dedicated Home and End keys, not the Fn keys. The keys work in other applications (such as this text box) but have no effect in FCE at all. Other keys, like alt-R to render and J, K, and L all work, just not Home and End ... so far.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tubbs

So I've done a lot of searching and found that people in other countries seem to have this issue a lot with FCP, but I find no mention of it with FCE. I'm in the US, btw, with US settings. In their cases the work around is to go into System Preferences->International and change the language to English before they launch FCP.
I tinkered with that and never could get it to work.
However, what I did find is that I apparently do have some sort foreign keyboard setting somewhere, because I appear to have some foreign mappings. My home and end key functionality is available as ctrl-home and ctrl-end. Further, zooming on the timeline does not work with the + and - keys unless I also hold command when I hit them. Weird.
I'd still love a legitimate solution if anyone can figure it out.

  • Home/End Keys don't work

    Hi, all,
    I've started having a problem with my home and end keys... they just don't do anything at all. Another user works fine, but my main account doesn't like them for whatever reason. Any idea what I can do to troubleshoot this?

    Actually, to take the Top Case off is a breeze compared to older models. Its only some phillips head screws and it pops off with only one cable going from the top case to the logic board. You can probably pick one up on eBay or something for 50-80 bucks. Anyone who has taken apart both an iBook and a MB would probably agree with me that the disassembly of the MBs are by far and away easier. I paid about 60 with shipping for a new one.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Keyboard arrows, Home, End keys

    In a edit box, such as a search box, my keyboard arrows, Home, End keys do not work since I upgraded to FireFox 8

    ''my keyboard arrows, Home, End keys do not work...''
    That problem is caused by "caret cursor" and the way that Mozilla works with it. Press "F7" reply "No" to turn if off. F7 toggles the setting and you may or may not see the warning but if you do see "No" that would mean you have it on and "No" would turn it off. For a more complete resolution see
    * [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#caret Caret Browsing] in<br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#caret
    See how you do with Adobe PDF files after fixing the above. You can have PDF files open by default without Firefox involved except to download them, but I expect you chose to view in your browser. You have a lot more control of reading PDF files outside of Firefox. The plug-in is what allows you to open them in a browser.

  • HOME & END KEY NOT FUNCTIONING IN FCP w MBP

    My home and end key do not work on my MacBook Pro. However, on an extended keyboard on a G5 those keys transport you to the beginning and end of the timeline. Is there a way I can get them to work on my laptop? Thanks!
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1G RAM, 500G LaCie HD

    Isn't that because those keys don't exist on the laptop?
    You can map those commands to any key you want. They keyboard layout is completely customizable. TOOLS>KEYBOARD LAYOUT>CUSTOMIZE.

  • Hi the home key is not working in my new ipad2

    Hi the home key is not working in my new ipad2

    If you have multitouch gestures enabled - try this. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and close all of the apps in the task bar and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    See if the home button will work after the iPad starts up again.

  • Backspace, Del, Arrow keys, Tab not working in Firefox when applying validation

    Hi,
    I am developing a webpage with some textboxes requiring only alphabets or alphanumeric text to be accepted. I am using DevExpress controls and following is the javascript code that executes on keypress
    function fn_allowAlphabetspace(s, e) {
    var theEvent = e.htmlEvent || window.event;
    var key = theEvent.keyCode || theEvent.which;
    debugger;
    key = String.fromCharCode(key);
    var regex = /[a-zA-Z ]/;
    if (!regex.test(key)) {
    theEvent.returnValue = false;
    if (theEvent.preventDefault)
    theEvent.preventDefault();
    All the browsers except firefox allow Backspace, Del, Tab, Arrow keys, Home, End key to work perfectly. Firefox does not allow any of these to work on the textboxes.
    Thanks
    Shitiz

    Hi,
    I tried to solve it by debugging the javascript and found the below code to be working for firefox as well as on other browsers IE10, Chrome and Safari without any issues
    //validation function to allow only alphabets and space
    function fn_allowAlphabetspace(s, e) {
    var searchSpecial = '$Backspace$Del$Home$Tab$Left$Right$Up$Down$End$';
    if (searchSpecial.indexOf('$' + e.htmlEvent.key + '$') < 0) {
    var theEvent = e.htmlEvent || window.event;
    var key = theEvent.keyCode || theEvent.which;
    key = String.fromCharCode(key);
    var regex = /[a-zA-Z ]/;
    if (!regex.test(key)) {
    theEvent.returnValue = false;
    if (theEvent.preventDefault)
    theEvent.preventDefault();
    Please not that parameter '''''e''''' passed in the function provide the details of the keypress function. I am using DevExpress ASPxTextBoxes. Anybody who wants to use this function need to make changes in the above code as per the control used
    Thanks

  • New aluminum keyboard for 24" iMac-10-key numbers not working??

    I've got a new 24" intel aluminum iMac I've only had for 2 weeks.
    Just today, the 10-key number pad stopped working & my programs froze up with no response from the might mouse plugged into the USB port on the keyboard.
    The keyboard viewer shows all of the keys being recognized & Apple Hardware Test showed no issues.
    I re-booted several times, did a permission repair & ran MacJanitor & when I rebooted again, I don't get any freeze-ups so far, but I do not have the function of the 10-key portion of my new aluminum iMac keyboard.
    Very strange, but it does seem to be software related.
    Something of interest: Only the 789-456+1230.enter keys are not working. Those above the 789 are working fine.
    And to re-iterate, the keys are all being recognized by the keyboard viewer onscreen.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    dave

    I didn't end up taking it in - I created a new user account & there were no problems with my keyboard.
    I transferred my home folder to the new account & started basically fresh.
    I guess my old user account was corrupted or messed up somehow.
    I have done this once before on my 1book g4 laptop & it also worked.
    Thanks for the suggestion, I was getting ready to pack it up for a trip to the Apple Store & remembered to try this at the last minute!
    Thanks again

  • FCE & MBP Where's the home/end keys?

    Hi
    Got my new MBP and FCE installed. Going through COD's Training DVD, Tom mentions the "home" key. Come to think of it there isn't one on my MBP keyboard.
    I tried CMD + L arrow but that doesn't work. The up/down arrow keys will moce the scrub bar but only to the next clip, so to get it back to the beginning or end of the video, I have to keep hitting the L/R Arrow keys.
    Isn't there a keyboard command to equal the home/end keys?
    Thanks

  • My down arrow key does not work as it should

    Hello to you.
    My down arrow key does not work as it should.
    When I use my down arrow key is the whole side going down.
    It is annoying when you write that you always end up bottom of the page when using the Down arrow key. I hope I can help me

  • Function keys are not working correctly

    I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
    Here are the details:
    I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
    I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo  EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8  (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
    I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
    Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
    I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
    I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
    Here are the problems:
    Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows. 
    Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
    I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
    I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
    I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
    A couple more important or interesting facts:
    Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
    I have restarted the computer.
    One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
    When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
    I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
    Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!

    Just thought I'd let you know.  Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected.  I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800.  So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

  • Function keys do not work on new wireless keyboard

    Hello....my good friend just bought a new iMac G5 2.1 spotlight model computer and has had troubles with his new wireless keyboard in that all 16 function keys do not work at all. Got any ideas or is it just a defective keyboard? He bought this at my recommendation so i am trying to make it all work smoothly for him. Would appreciate a quick response as he has now had this mac for 2 weeks and we cannot figure out the problem. Thanks in advance for any and all help

    I have no issues using the Apple BT keyboard. All function keys that apply to the iPad work correctly; display brightness, iPod app control, etc.
    Use the most recent version of iOS and also iTunes on your computer. Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If that  does not work, then restore the iPad to it factory settings.
