Keyboard shortcuts for tags not working

I'm working on a WWII documentary and using Prelude to assign lots of markers, including tags for historical figures who appear very frequently in the WWII newsreels such as "Rommel" and "Hitler"
Not sure why, but when I assign any keyboard shortcut for a custom tag, the shortcut doesn't work, please see here:
I decided to assign "3" for the Hitler tag, but any shortcut I assign for any tag, just doesn't work. Yet it seems that you can assign keyboard shortcuts even for tags, and the Prelude help manual says you can:

Hi -
In order to support keyboard shortcuts for the Tag Panel we needed to implement a bit of a unique method. The Tag Panel itself does indeed need to have focus in order for it's keyboard shortcuts to activate. The core reason for this is to remove the potential for keyboard shortcut conflicts between the rest of the app the those stored within a Tag template. Remember, you can share Tag Templates across system and with other users. and each template can contain it's own shortcut definitions. The only way to prevent conflicts is to enforce the focus rule.
the recommended workflow is to open a clip and set focus to the Tag Panel. From the Tag Panel all of the Transport Controls (JKL, SPACE BAR for play/pause, etc.) will still function when the Tag Panel has focus. So you should still be able to review your clips and apply Tags via shortcut.
Let me know how this works. We are always looking to improve workflows so if you come up with some improvement ideas please share.

Keyboard shortcuts for cropping not working

iPhoto '11 (9.3.1) cropping shortcuts not working.
Pressing shift while dragging does not disable the "Contrain" setting when using preset sizes. Nothing happens.
What are we supposed to "drag vertically" or "horizontally" in a preset crop size that makes iPhoto switch between portrait or landscape constrain setting?
Having to go to the "Crop" drop-down menu to click-switch contraints between portrait and landscape is very tiring - these shortcuts don't work unless someone can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Disable constrain setting in crop tool when selecting an area
Press the Shift key while dragging
Switch between portrait and landscape constrain settings in crop tool when selecting an area
Drag vertically for portrait crop or drag horizontally for landscape crop

Keyboard shortcut for services not working

I'm using a service called Quickfiles (it lets me create a new file in the selected folder without having to open the corresponding app first). The service works great when accessed through the services menu, and I have gone into my keyboard preferences (keyboard shortcuts) and assigned a keyboard shortcut to the service (command-control-N) but nothing happens when I use the shortcut. I have tried making a couple alternative shortcuts for that service but nothing ever happens when I hit the key combo, even though the service always works perfectly when accessed from the services menu. Any ideas?

Yes, testing with a "test" account is always a good idea.
(First look shows that it's related to problems associating Documents with Applications, which this isn't).
I wouldn't be too certain on that stance, Menu items associate with something to do their work!

Keyboard Shortcuts for Applications Not Working in S 10-2

I have set a keyboard shortcut : ctrl + Alt + I for Internet Explorer browser by right clicking on its quick launch icon and going into its properties. I have set similar shotcuts to some more applications. But none of them work. i.e., They don't launch the respective apps when clicked. They work perfectly well on my desktop PC. Has anybody else observed this?

I made similar experience.
When I added short cuts to the IE-Symbol on Quickstart or on Startmenu I got no reaction.
But
When I added the short cut to IE-Symbol on Menu "Programs" it worked.
Try it.

Ctrl+M Curves Keyboard Shortcut Photoshop CS5 not working

For some reason, the keyboard shortcut for Curves (ctl+M) is no longer working. It worked fine for a while and then just stopped. All other shortcuts are working. When I go into Preferences, I cannot assign a different shortcut. So, it seems that there is a problem with assigning ANY keyboard shortcut to Curves rather than some issue with just the Ctrl+M keystrokes. I still can access curves from the menu, but I use curves very often and it is a real inconvenience.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? What is the cause and/or how can it be rectified?

This may help very little, but it's a data point: I can do Ctrl M no problem, it brings the Curves dialog right up. That says it's not a systemic problem with 12.0.3.
Do you have the latest Photoshop update?
What operating system are you running?
Do you have an image layer active when you're trying this? I assume so, since you said you could do Curves from the menu, but I thought I'd ask.
Have you installed any 3rd party plug-ins between the time it worked and didn't?

CS4 Reset View Keyboard Shortcut (ESC key) Not Working

Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this:
Every keyboard shortcut in Photoshop CS4 works fine for me except one: the keyboard shortcut to reset view after using view rotation (the ESC key). Oddly, the keyboard shortcut does work in CS5 (I installed the demo). I've checked to ensure my keyboard is set to US English, which it is. I've tried resetting the Photoshop settings, and even reinstalling. Nothing. This particular keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to be one that can be changed through the keyboard shortcuts menu, and I have never customized the keyboard shortcuts anyway.
Some more information about my setup -- I'm using an Intuos 4 tablet, and do use the wheel to rotate the view. However, the keyboard shortcut doesn't work when I use the tool with my mouse or the wheel on my tablet, so it seems unlikely this is the issue. Regarding my hardware acceleration, I have a current gen nVidia card with plenty of horsepower, and all other OpenGL enhancements work fine.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi there
Have you ensured that Captivate has been updated with all service releases?
I could be wrong but I seem to recall a service release fixed this issue.

Keyboard shortcut Command-~ DOES NOT WORK in/on some apps/machines

It seems that in Mac OS 10.6.2 the keyboard shortcut "Command-~" ( a.k.a.
"⌘-~" or "Command-tilde") is quite fickle. It is used in most apps to
switch between open windows within an application. It was available in OS
10.5 in Safari, Microsoft Office (including Entourage), and most other apps
with the capacity to open multiple windows simultaneously. But in OS 10.6.2
this shortcut is available in Safari on my 2.16 GHz Core2Duo 20" iMac but
NOT on my 2.4 GHz Core2Duo Unibody 13" MacBook; it's available in Entourage
on my MacBook but NOT on my iMac. So it's available on some apps and some
machines but not on others, there's no rhyme or reason to it, and it's not
consistent between like machines and apps, which makes me think that there's
a system-wide preference or command that could turn this on and off. I
thought perhaps it was controlled by a preference in certain apps, but I
have found no such prefs. Is there a way to control this - in other words,
to make it available where it currently is not? Or is there a command to
make it universally available on any 10.6 machine (my preferred solution)?
Thanks for any help offered.

Not a reply to this specific question, just a quasi-relevant comment that might help some folks.
In Leopard, and with (for example) English and Russian chosen in System Prefs under "Language" and the keyboard shortcut set to command+space, I would always see the flag change in the menu bar as soon as command+space were chosen. Now, under Snow Leopard, hitting command+space seems not to make the change. But it does make the change, you just need to take your fingers off the keys first, then the flag will change.

Assigning keyboard shortcuts to actions not working

I have two actions that I use quite often. I assigned keyboard shortcuts to them in the actions dropdown menu. However whenever I press the shortcut keys, nothing ever happens. I have tried changing the modifier key combinations......nada. If some has any suggestions, I sure would appreciate them.
Thanks

Most F keybaord shortcuts are assigned to something already in Illustrator or by your OS, so you may have a conflict.

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?

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!

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

What is the keyboard shortcut for scrolling page down? In Pages, Safari, etc... Just a single page/ screen view, not all the way to the bottom. Thank you.

Trying to navigate the screen without my mousepad. I have carpal tunnel and early stage arthritis and cannot repeatedly make the appropriate motions to scroll with two fingers. Is there a keyboard shortcut for scrolling up and down line by line or page by page?
Thank you.

Yeah. sorry. those are not correct. ctrl N + P are for home and end line shortcuts. Ctrl V does go down one line. But CTRL arrow up or down do not work in Safari. But thank you very much for the attention and the time...
Note from my first post above -- I did not say to use CTRL arrow in Safari:
For Safari:
Scroll down a line: down arrow
Scroll down a screen: option down arrow
Note from my second post above and from the first link I gave that Control N, P, and V worked for me in Pages as described in the link and in my post:
The link to shortcuts that I gave abaove includes Control N, P, and V for move down a line, up a line and down a page and those seem to work in Pages.

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?

Problem with keyboard shortcut for font size in CC photoshop. The incriments sometimes work, i.e it goes 1 points at the time, but sometimes it goes 10 or even 20 points at the time. It seems to be very random. Any thoughts?
