Is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

Keyboard Shortcuts are created in the System Preferences app, Hardware section, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
Select Application Shortcuts on the left.
Click the "+" sign on the right and in the dialog box that pops up, enter: "Export..." and your preferred key combination. Here's an example:
Keep in mind that when you enter the name of the action in a layered menu, such as File > Export..., or Share > Export..., you are only going to enter the last menu choice, not the higher levels.

Can I create a keyboard shortcut for opening a document in a specific program?

Hi there,
I'm getting into html scripting and javascript programming. The files I'm working with are .html and .js. When you first click on these files they open in safari which I like, but I don't like having to right click and select "open in textmate" can I create a shortcut so I can just select the .html and .js files and hit a shortcut to pull up in an alternate program?

Not only is this very possible, it's also very easy. You can do this not just for Quark but for any application in OS X. To accomplish what you want, do the following:
* Firstly, quit QuarkXPress completely. The rest of the steps won't work if it is still running.
* Go to the Apple menu and select System Preferences.
* Click the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference Pane
* Click Keyboard Shortcuts
* Click the + button to add a new shortcut.
* Select QuarkXPress as the application.
* In the Menu Title field type "Place Name" exactly like that but without the quotes.
* Click inside the Shortcut field and type the key combination you want to use for this shortcut. I suggest using Command + one of the F keys, like Command+F1.
* Click Add.
* Close System Preferences
* Run Quark, open a document, and try it out!

Can I create a keyboard shortcut for changing text colors in Mail?

When composing an email in Mail (v5.2), I often have the need to change the text of a few words to red to highlight them (e.g. names of people assigned to an action item) but want to do it via keyboard shortcut. I know I can do the following:
Press Command-Shift-C brings up to Colors panel
Choose the color (e.g. Red) with my mouse
Type the text
Choose the color (e.g. back to Black) with my mouse
Continue typing text
And that's if I want the color panel to stay visible (add at least 3 more steps all together if I close it in the interim).
I've tried using keyboard shortcuts to assign a color (couldn't find the right menu path) and Automator to create a script (the color panel always has to be in the right location which it may not be). None of those techniques work.
It's an annoyance more than anything else but I imagine it should be possible.
Thanks for any assistance!

Can I create a keyboard shortcut for an AppleScript built into Quark6

I do a lot of photo scatters and sometimes have to use the "Picture box" "place name" script in Quark6. I wish I had a keyboard shortcut, because I use it as many as 80 times on a set of scatter images.
I am clueless about how do do this, is it possible?

Creating a keyboard shortcut for Calendar's Export- doesn't work

I created a keyboard shortcut in Calendar to easily export calendars (let say option-ctrl-E).
When I launch Calendar the shortcut doesn't work. But after I opened the File Menu, then the Export sub-menu, the shortcut DO work as expected.
As I need this for an Applescript (there is still no Export… command in Calendar's dictionnary!), it's quite annoying.
Interestingly, I don't have the same problem when I create a shortcut for "Calendar Archive…".
I know I can of course use GUI scripting in AppleScript, but it's quite annoying.
Any idea?
p

Does it continue to fail on a restart of the app?
I can offer a workaround:
If you need to automate creating a Calendar Archive, just copy all the .caldav, .calendar, and .group folders, allong with Attachments from ~/Library/Calendars/ into a folder called Calendar. Package it up in a folder with a .icbu file extension and add an info.plist file to that folder with the following information:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>date</key>
          <date>2013-03-07T01:08:00Z</date>
          <key>version</key>
          <string>2.0</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Right-click on a Calendar archive and choose "Show package contents" and you'll see what I am describing.

Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for "Export book to PDF"? (Cannot find it in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.)

I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut for the "Export Book to PDF" command on the Books panel menu, but I simply can't find that command in Keyboard Shortcuts. After not finding it in what seemed the logical place (Keyboard Shortcuts > Product Area: Panel Menus > Book), I've looked through all the Product Areas listed on the dropdown menu -- but it seems I must be missing something.
What do I need to do / where do I need to look to assign a keyboard shortcut for this command?

Sorry, I agree that that is missing in action. I don't know of a workaround unless someone has written a script. Scripts can be called with keystrokes.

Can I create a keyboard shortcut to go to start and/or end of work area?

Just as in the title....
Can I create a keyboard shortcut to take the CTI to the beginning or end of the work area in the Timeline panel?
Also, can I remap the keyboard shortcut (~) that maximises the current panel?
I can't find the answers to either of these questions in the help....
Cheers
Mark

Can I create a keyboard shortcut to take the CTI to the beginning or end of the work area in the Timeline panel?
No.
Also, can I remap the keyboard shortcut (~) that maximises the current panel?
In CS5, it's under Application and called "Maximize or Restore Frame." In CS5.5 it's also under Application, but you have two choices: "Maximize or Restore Active Frame" and "Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor." The latter is how CS5 works; the former is a new addition, and will only maximize/restore whatever frame is currently outlined in yellow, e.g. active.

Any way to create a keyboard shortcut for keywords in Bridge CC?

Just curious if there's any way to create a keyboard shortcut for "new keyword" and "new sub keyword" in Bridge CC?
If not, that would be a welcome addition in any future Bridge update - being able to customize keyboard shortcuts or add your own the way you can in Premiere Pro CC.

Steve,
Not, as far as I know, directly, but the problem is with Aperture, not Keyboard Maestro. Aperture has no command (afaik) for selecting the caption field of the Info Inspector. Without a command, you will have to find another way to access it, or another way to accomplish what you want.
You can specify the spot clicked by screen coordinates, so you cold use the Inspector HUD and the coordinates of the Caption field, as long as the Inspector HUD always pops up in the same location.
Many dialog boxes allow the user to advance through the fields with the Tab key. Unfortunately, the number of times you have to type "{Tab}" in order to get to a particular field depends on other interface elements (if the Control Bar is showing, add 2). I don't know of a way to determine if the Control Bar is showing.
You might find a work-around using a Metadata Preset and the Batch Change command. Keyboard Maestro can easily pop up a dialog with a text field in which you can type what you want to go into Aperture's Caption field.
The best thing to do is download the trial version and see if it meets your needs. Keyboard Maestro is adept at creating macros based on keyboard input. If the program does not provide keyboard equivalents, writing an effective macro becomes difficult.
http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
The author provides exemplary documentation:
http://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/About_Keyboard_Maestro
Lastly, for the use you cite, I simply show the Inspector if it's not showing (by typing "i"), change to the Info tab if it is not currently activated (by clicking, but note that opening the Inspector with the Info tab selected can be done with one command "View➞Inspector➞Info"), and then clicking in the Caption field, which is part of all of the Metadata Views I regularly use.
HTH. Perhaps one of our programming mavens will suggest something better.

How can I map a keyboard shortcut to the reacord button in the Audio Mixer Panel?

I have been recording voiceovers in Premiere Pro CS5 for a while, but I would like to improve my work flow. Each time I record a take, I first press the record button (labeled as B below) with the mouse cursor and then press the Play button with the Spacebar keyboard shortcut. After I record the audio, I hit Stop and this toggles the record button off at the same time. I then must hit the record button again with the mouse to start the process over again.
Is there a way to map a keyboard shortcut to the record button in the audio panel so that I don't have to touch the mouse when recording voiceovers?

There is not currently a shortcut for this. That's a good feature request, though. You can submit feature requests here.

HT1518 Are there a keyboard shortcuts for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the cmd ⌘ symbol ?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the command symbol ⌘? I need this a lot to take notes from tutorials etc. I know I can copy them from other text or access the special character menu, but I would love to have a easier shortcut.

You can try making one for yourself via system preferences/keyboard/text/symbol and text substitution

How do I create a keyboard shortcut for a nested finder menu item?

Specifically I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut for Finder>Services>Mail>Send File.
Any help would be appreciated.

pmasitti,
Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, click on the "+" sign. From the drop-down menu choose Application: Finder, Menu Title: "Send File" (without the quotes), Keyboard Shortcut: whatever.
Close system System Preferences and quit the Finder for the change to take effect. You can easily quit and relaunch the Finder from the Apple Menu > Force Quit. Select Finder and click on the Relaunch button.
For the action to complete, select the Finder item before pressing your keyboard short cut.
Worked for me... good luck!

Use Shell Script to create a keyboard shortcut for a installed Service

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but I hope someone out there has an answer!
I have an automator Application that I'm using to install a service to my Mac(will be deploying this to hundreds more). Id like to have this Application contain a Shell script that sets up a keyboard shortcut for the service after it is installed.
Anyone know how to do that?

You need automator to create services, as detailed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2241804 a four-parter by Sal Saghoian on *Automation in Snow Leopard*
This, describes old and new automator—services stuff:
http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/08/automator-and-finder-interactions-in-os-x-10- 6/
Alternatively, just save the script
*+tell application "Firefox" to activate+*
as an app, put it on the Dock, and click it to activate it. However, seems simpler just to put the FF icon on the Dock and a single click launches it. Why would you want a service or AS to do the same thing?

Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

I have a loop (Modern Guitar Rock 04), which I've extended out so it repeats four times. I select the Fade Tool and X-Fade for drag. I then drag just in front of the loop and onto it, which creates a fade. However, this also creates fades at the beginning of the repeating loops. Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

Any suggestions or ideasYou are correct. You cannot build two prompts on the same column. Use this link for instructions on how to build a "between prompt" because of this fact:

I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

Of course.
To create the first iCloud account, open Settings > iCloud, type your Apple ID and follow the steps to set up iCloud.
Then, to add a second iCloud account, open Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account > iCloud, type the second Apple ID and set up iCloud for this Apple ID.
Note that one iCloud account will work as the primary account and the other one as the secondary account. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
