Keyboard shortcut for display is not working

I have an external keyboard because my internal one is damaged, When I set up the keyboard shortcut settings when I first got the keyboard I made sure the display short cuts are set, it worked, though when I changed the short cut values to be something else because it conflicted with a program I am using it stopped working, When I set the shortcut keys back to what I first put them when I got the external keyboard it still did not work.
I use Macbook air 13-inch, Mid 2011, Software  OS X 10.9.4
My mac is up to date on this posts time.

Sorry, I don't have an answer, and I am not a Mac user so not familiar with their problems, but ISTR another Mac use posting with the same issue recently.  Are you using Mavericks?  There are apparently a number of bug issues that the PS team has made Apple aware of.
But in case that is not the issue here, is this with the Background layer?  Shift F5 works OK for me on a BG layer, but you might find the Del key works better for you.
Not strictly related, but for other CC users reading this thread, Trevor Morris has released a CC version of his famous Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts PDF, as well as an Extension that applies a number of custom shortcuts.  I didn't think there were any going spare!   I am also a big fan of the Michael Ninnis Power Shortcuts video from last year's Adobe Max, and there are bound to be conflicts

  • Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

    In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
    Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
    I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
    These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
    System Configuration:
    Flash CC
    Mac OSX 10.8.5

    Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
    fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

  • Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
    It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
    Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
    Thanks!

  • Setting Keyboard Shortcuts for Services won't work

    I've tried to set Keyboard Shortcuts for Services like "New Terminal Tab from Folder" but it won't work. I even tried it on my friend's machine to no avail.
    Here's where I'm setting it up. And yes, I've turned on the checkbox & set the shortcut I want. I've even tried a few different keyboard shortcuts that are complicated to ensure that it's not competing with something else.
    To note, I'm using TotalFinder but my friend, whose machine I tested this on, doesn't.
    We are both running 10.8.2 on the latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display, 15".

    I have a similar scenario......except my services that I created run one time, and then won't run again. 
    For example, I created a service to open a new blank email message for me to type in.  I assigned Cntl-Opt-Comm-M to this service.  I hit the key sequence and it works the first time.....the mail window pops open. 
    If I then close the mail window that it spawned and do it again, no mail window opens.
    I also did this to create a blank Calendar event and also another one for Reminders. 
    They all run one time and then not again.
    Any ideas?

  • Keyboard shortcuts from Greek Input not working for my account only

    I just upgraded to Leopard from Tiger 10.4.11 on my MBP 2.4 listed below. The Installer took care of everything, and after it was finished, my own account, the only Admin account, misbehaves when it comes to keyboard shortcuts in the Finder or any other app. To use the shortcuts, the Input flag must US English. If it's Greek, nothing works.
    If I switch to the other two accounts on my Mac, one of which was carried over from the Tiger setup, the other I setup after the OS upg, both of which are Std accounts, not Admin, shortcuts work regardless of the keyboard input flag.
    Tips, anyone?

    That's alright, folks, problem solved:
    Ran Leopard Cache Cleaner, and selected from Caches the third option (deep clean).
    Thanks, anyway. Hope this may help some other poor sod.

  • Defining keyboard shortcut in Photoshop CC not working (OSX)

    Hi,
    I face a strange problem when trying to redefine a keyboard shortcut on Photoshop CC or CS6 on an IMac 2013 running the latest version od OSX.
    a --> A
    ù --> Ù
    Every time I type a key it's the uppercase version of the letter that is taken.
    If I go for example on Text tool to put some text in images it's ok.
    It only happens in the dialog box to define keyboard shortcut.
    Note that same version od CC and CS6 works correctly on my macbook Air running also the latest OSX.
    Any idea where the problem could come or been solved ?

    Turn off the ALL CAPS option in the character palette that you forgot about turning on...

  • Keyboard shortcuts from Tiger/Leopard not working in Snow Leopard

    OK, here are two examples: In Mail.app I used to press CMD-option-J to invoke the Delete Junk Mail dialog. Now it doesn't work if I have switched to the English US keyboard input method; any other selection of keyboard input works (I use English US, Greek, Unicode Hex Input and another greek one from vodkatini.gr called "Ελληνικά").
    Also, within Graphisoft ArchiCAD 13 I used option-O (that's the letter 'O') to access one command (it's Document>Layout Book>Open assigned Master Layout). This worked up until I switched to Snow Leopard. Now it only works if I have enabled the Unicode Hex Input keyboard input method.
    Anyone cares to shed some light? Has something changed in the way keystrokes are interpreted in the new OS?
    FWIW, when I go to ArchiCAD's keyboard shortcuts preferences dialog (it's where the user can customize them to their liking), for the first time ever I notice the following: if I try to assign option-O as the shortcut for a command, the field which should confirm visually what I have pressed (and which up until now used to reflect my keystroke by displaying "Option-O" so I can be sure what I am trying to assign to the specific command) now shows "ø". Now, at first it looks like Snow Leopard is interpreting the keystroke as the special 'o' with the diagonal (sorry, don't know what it's called); it's puzzling, though, that it doesn't behave the same way when I press option-E for the keystroke (which should, by analogy, produce the character 'é') and so on.
    Thanks for any tips, people.

    None of this works for me because, as I'm using SpamSieve, Mail's inbuilt Junk Mail filtering is turned off and I don't have a 'Junk' folder. What is puzzling is that I certainly used this shortcut before (I think to empty the Trash after deleting everything from the 'Spam' folder - which moved it to the Trash) which seems a bit odd. After the upgrade I found this didn't work. Adding a Greek keyboard made no difference.
    Perhaps someone who isn't using SpamSieve can try this out.

  • PS CC keyboard shortcut Opt+Cmd+Z not working (osx mavericks)

    Since I deleted the Adobe and Photoshop preferences from my library folder, I'm facing a weird issue:
    Any keyboard shortcut that involves the Option/Alt key on my keyboard is simply not recognized by Photoshop. I have confirmed that my physical key is not broken and works in all other applications, but when I use it in Photoshop, nothing happens. When I go to the keyboard shortcuts menu and try to modify 'Step Backward' (because I really want this key do be like the default), I cannot put in the Option key. I can use different combinations for the command, just not this one key.
    Does anybody have an idea what is going on and how to fix this? I have deleted the preference files once more and rebooted, but no change. I haven't installed any other software or drivers in a long time, so I doubt it's because of anything interfering with Photoshop. I also checked for double assigned shortcuts in the system, but as I said, PS simply won't recognize that the Alt key is pressed.

    Have you tried a different keyboard to exclude a defective Option key?
    How did you delete the Photoshop preferences.  If you did that manually (very bad idea) try it the proper way:
    Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

  • Keyboard shortcuts in Photo CS6 not working correctly.

    Keyboard shortcuts are working sporadically. For instance, when using select all, copy, paste shortcuts to copy from one image to another in a different tab it can take 2 presses of the keyboard to get them to work. This also makes actions unuseable.
    Using MacPro 2.66 Nehalem 8 core, OS 10.6.8, 32GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4870
    Have tried:
    Adjusting Performance in preferences -currently 25062 memory usage, history states 20, cache levels8, cache level 1024, use graphics processor ticked. Have changed all of these settings with no effect on problem.
    Closed all other programs(including all browsers).
    Removed any plug-ins.
    Closed flash panels namely mini bridge.
    Having to revert to an older version of Photoshop at the moment as dodgy Keyboard shortcuts make CS6 unuseable. Also have a problem with Camera Raw which I have raised in another Discussion that makes it unuseable also.
    Suggestions welcomed.

  • Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) not working in 5.1

    Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) is not working after I upgraded Safari to  5.1

    Has anybody figured a way of restoring this?
    Not broken here, still working fine as always. Have you tried repairing permissions or creating a new user account and seeing if the problem persists there? It's an issue with your install, as a guess. Working fine on all the Mac's around here with Safari 4.04

  • Spacebar shortcut for hand tool not working in Photoshop CC - have tried closing all other programs

    The spacebar shortcut for hand tool is not working in Photoshop CC - as suggested in this form & others I have tried closing all other programs with no result. I have also reset photoshop to default settings & this did not make any difference either.

    There may be a software conflict. I went through this today. When I did a search in Adobe foruns actually found tha answer on the Illustrator forum:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1027227?
    What the problem for me was an app called - 1Password.  I had opened it, but not given my password to login and it was on in the background. As soon as I quit 1Password, the spacebar Hand Tool worked.
    Then I opened 1Password again, and logged in. This time the spacebar works.
    Others mentioned conflict with Spotify. And Chrome too. Couple other things. Read that thread in the link above.
    Good luck!

    Hi torben123,
    This issue has been resolved in Flash CC, please take a look at it and let us know if you still face any issues.
    Thanks!
    Mohan
    Mohanaraj CS, I'm still using Flash Pro CS6 on my MacBook Pro and the shortcuts don't all work correctly because Flash (German version with German language keyboard setting in OSX) seems to use an US keyboard setting only for the shortcuts internally (if I type into fields, I've got my German layout, but if I want to set up a shortcut like cmd + + for zoom in oder cmd + - for zoom out, it shows cmd + ] and cmd + / instead).
    And the "fix" to an obvious bug (as you said by yourself) now is TO BUY CC??
    Come on, Adobe Staff, is that how you treat your customers?
    A little -known- bug but you have to get (and buy) the cloud thing, if you want it fixed... did you get the bug into the code THEREFORE in the last update?
    I really love the Adobe software but this is the baddest joke since a looong time, Mohanaraj CS.

  • Standard shortcut for "flow" does not work anymore

    Hi there :-)
    The standard shortcut for setting the flow of a brush or stamp does not work anymore. When using shift + 0-9 nothing happens. It works correctly for the opacity when I use 0-9.
    When I turn on the airbrush-mode it's not switching the commands entirely... Flow is still not settable with 0-9 but opacity cannot be set either by shift + 0-9.
    I can access the opacity by hitting "enter" and then use the tab to switch to the flow but that's not what I wanna do.
    Can anyone help my to find out what happened to These commands? The Shift-keys work fine btw... I'm using them for other commands (in and outside of PS)  .
    If anyone knows how to change these standard hotkeys let me know as well.
    Thnx, Michelle

  • Keyboard Shortcuts/Annotatio in Preview not working

    I just updated to 10.6.8, and I'm having problems with the annotation tools in Preview.  When I try to turn them on with a keyboard shortcut, it doesn't work.  If I watch the screen, then I see that the key combo lights up the header on the "View" menu rather than the "Tools" menu.  If instead I pull down the Tools menu and choose an annotation that way, it does turn on.  But then it won't turn off except by choosing a different tool from the pull-down or clicking on a thumbnail.  I'm reviewing proofs on a 500 page book.  This is driving me crazy!  What am I doing wrong? What has changed? Can anybody help me?

    Hi there
    Certain keyboard shortcuts are dicey in Captivate when delivering via SWF. This is because the web browser itself presents the SWF. Because of this, the browser has control and intercepts shortcuts designed for its own use.
    You may choose to call that "Bad behavior" on the part of the browser, but it's normal behavior if you think about it.
    This calls into question why Adobe would offer such shortcuts and allow them to be assigned in the first place if they fail. And the answer to that is to advise that these shortcuts *DO* actually work in EXE output.
    As with most things in life you find there will always be trade offs. You gain something in one place only by sacrificing something elsewhere.
    You could complain to Adobe about it, but it's darned hard for them to influence browser behavior.
    Cheers... Rick
