[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+ Shortcuts sometimes not working in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
See the above post for more information - here's a synopsis:
CTRL+SHIFT modifiers are not working while running LabVIEW in a Parallels 7 virtual machine. This problem affects both LV2011 and LV2012. I'm not certain that this is a LabVIEW bug - could be an issue with my virtual machine environment or it's configuration - except that CTRL+SHIFT modifiers work in other applications on the affected VMs. It's just LabVIEW that appears to ignore shortcuts with the CTRL+SHIFT modifiers.
Any ideas?

Any news on that?

[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha Shortcuts don't work in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
Bug Synopsis: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW. Most notably, CTRL+SHIFT+Z, CTRL+SHIFT+E, and CTRL+SHIFT+S
Test setup: LV2012 32bit with f1 patch running in Win7 64bit inside a Parallels 8 VM in OS X 10.8.1
To summarize the testing I have tried:
Many different LabVIEW, Guest OS, and Host OS combinations all fail, including:
LV2012f1 32 and 64 bit, and LV2009 32 bit
Win7 32 and 64bit, and also WinXP x64
Parallels 7 and Parallels 8
OS X 10.7 and 10.8
Capturing the keyboard by the VM
Twiddling every keyboard setting possible on Parallels, Guest, and Host
Reinstalling keyboard drivers
Plugging in a known-good keyboard that works on a native Windows machine
Deleting LabVIEW.ini and letting it regenerate
Remapping the shortcuts from, e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+E to CTRL+E - in this case, "Show in Project" works, so this might indicate it's a problem registering the shortcut press, not invoking the action itself.
Sending the keystrokes via on-screen keyboards from both Guest and Host
Sending the keystrokes via SendInput from user32.dll WinAPI
Testing every imaginable combo of FN, CONTROL, ALT/OPTION, COMMAND/CMD, SHIFT
Reinstalling VMs from scratch and reinstalling LV
Here's a kicker: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts work fine on other Windows programs (I've tried 4 different programs, including Chrome, Notepad++, Paint.NET), yet it does NOT work for VIPM with CTRL+SHIFT+C. This means that the only two programs where the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha bugs exist are both LabVIEW-related.
Here's another kicker: It's only CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts with the prob - CTRL+SHIFT+3 properly toggles grid alignment, and the "Tools >> Options >> Menu shortcuts" will register any CTRL+SHIFT+Non-alpha shortcut; it just does not respond to the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts.
Any new troubleshooting ideas are highly appreciated; please feel free to jump in here or on LAVA.

CTRL+SHIFT+O does not work

WHen i attempt to save a record in an infopath form, I receive an error that the form cannot be submitted and to press CTRL+SHIFT+O to identify errors. This does nothing! Is there any other means to identify the errors on the form
or to show the user which fields are in error? All required fields are populated correctly but still the error occurs.
I also receive a browser message that error fields are outlined in red. This also does not work. No fields are outlined.

Hi jd, did you run the rule inspector in InfoPath to see what may be set up wrong? Try previewing the form in InfoPath and see where the errors are. Then check the setup on the field.

Alt ctrl c shortcut command not working in photoshop cc, it is opening Internet explorer (IE)

In Photoshop CC 2014 Alt + Ctrl + C ( to open for canvas size dialog box ) command not working, it is opening Internet Explorer (IE)

What version of windows are you using?
See if the Internet Explorer shortcut has that keyboard shortcut assigned to it.

Problem: Ctrl+Shift+P does not work to toggle private browsing. It opens up a new private window, but no longer will toggle back to regular mode.

Opening private browsing w/ Ctrl+Shift+P works fine. But when I try to toggle back, it just opens up a new private window.
Is this a bug? Or an intentional change in the newest version?
Those of us who depend on keyboard shortcuts are often overlooked in software revisions. Users like me want to keep working without leaving the keyboard to grab a mouse...
Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks.

thanks. hard to lose an old keystroke habit....

Alt + Shift shortcut does not work in CDE

Hello,
I have a following problem when I try to use Alt+Shift shortcuts in Eclipse IDE: when I press Alt+Shift+N my Eclipse behave as if Alt+N was pressed (without Shift).
The problem is described in the following bug:https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=120555.
The solution is to remove "grp:alt_shift_toggle" option from xorg.conf. Unfortunately I cannot find xorg.conf in my CDE environment.
Do you have any ideas how this issue could be solved?
Many thanks!
Kuba

If it doesn't work for certain applications then you may go through the followings:

Spotlight shortcut does not work (ctrl + space)

Spotlight shortcut does not work. When I press ctrl + space, nothing happen. When I click on magnifier icon by mouse, everything work well.
In Spotlight configuration and also in keyboard shortcut configuration this shortcut is present and marked as active.
I've also tried to disable and enable back this shortcut but it still not work.

Hello Zeleznypa,
For me, the default shortcut for Spotlight is Command - Space (not Control Space).
OS X Yosemite: Spotlight keyboard shortcuts
Open Spotlight to start a search Command (⌘)-Space bar
Open a Finder window with the search field selected Option-Command (⌘)-Space bar
I changed the shortcut in System Preferences to Control Space and it still worked with that.
Could you check your keyboard with the Keyboard Viewer?
OS X Yosemite: Use the Keyboard Viewer
Take care,
Nubz

Is there a keyboard shortcut to launch firefox 3.6.3 with windows vista? Hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work.

The hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work. This is in Windows Vista.

Thank you Morbus and Cor-el, for your prompt replies. Here's what I did: I've placed the Firefox icon in the quick launch toolbar. So I right-click this firefox icon>Properties>Shortcut tab>in Shortcut Key field, add X (the word "None" changes to "ctrl + alt + X")>Apply>Okay>and that closes the dialog window.
Then, to try the new launch short-cut, I press and hold down, in order, ctrl, then alt, then x (holding all three down) . . . and nothing launches.
I thought this would do it! So any further thoughts would be a splendid help ---- many thanx!

On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly.

On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly, but shift+letters works fine. I've tried changing the set keyboard language, as well as the character encoding, but nothing works. I don't have this problem in IE.

Hello there.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, I'm not sure if this is the case, but there is a little know keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard language on Windows. And it's very annoying, since it's easily triggered. I don't know exactly which one it is, but I think it's CTRL+SHIFT, the ones on the right. I suggest you ask Microsoft for support on this one. Firefox doesn't control keyboard languages.

Shortcut keys not working

On my Mac (OSX 10.9.5), the 'step backwards' shortcut key (cmd-alt-z) isn't working; nothing happens.
On my Windows (Windows 7) pc, the 'step forwards' shortcut key (ctrl-shift-z) isn't working.
If I go into the shortcut menu and change the shortcut key, it doesn't let me change it back to the original shortcut (cmd-alt-z) and I have to reset the keybindings.
I have tried resetting preferences. All of the keys on both keyboards work, and I can use those keys as shortcuts in other software. I'm using photoshop CC (2014).
Any suggestions to get the shortcut keys working again?
Thanks,
Ben

If you have Photoshop CC or older, install the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin.
And install the MacOS 10.10.1 update.
if you have any other queries please reply
Thanks

My shift-r, right shift-f, and right shift-v is not working.

I've seen questions in the forum about shift-r not working, I've looked into my system preferences and it appears there are no short cuts associated with shift-r. My right shift-f and right shift-v are not working either. I'm using a new iMac (10.7.2) with the bluetooth keyboard that came with it. If I use caps lock I can get capital R, F and V. It's very strange. I'm assuming it's a setting that's messed up versus a bum keyboard? Thanks for any help you can give!

Good deal, glad it's taken care of. I had a wireless keyboard on which the caps lock key stayed lit all the time, even though it did turn the lock on and off. And sometimes it wouldn't light at all. I took it (just the keyboard) to a local AASP and they checked it out and called to say my new keyboard was ready to be picked up.

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+ tab number does not work, is that intended functionality?

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+<tab number> does not work, is that intended functionality?

This can happen when the video player (Flash plugin) has the focus.
In that case the plugin consumes all the key presses.
You will have to click with the mouse elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to make keyboard shortcuts work.

"Clean Up By..." keyboard shortcut is not working

For some reason, when I am in a Finder window or on my desktop, the "Clean Up By..." Kind, Name, Size etc shortcut is not working. I normally click use "Option + Command + 2" to clean up my desktop by kind. This no longer works. I have to go into the "View, Clean Up By..." menu to have this take place. The keyboard shortcut still appears to be mapped to this menu option (as can be seen in the attached screenshot). I have also went into system preferences and reset my keyboard shortcuts to default.

You're most welcome. Thanks for posting back and letting me know. Glad to help.

I know that the deafult shortcut for taking screenshots is command-shift-3, but i want to take portion of the screen and that is command-shift-4.
I have tried everything wich is;
1: Log out and restart then login, not working.
2: Repair the permissions, not working.
3: Unchecked the box for shortcut and checkd it again in System preferences > Keybord > Shortcuts, not working.
4: Created a new Admin-account, not working.
5: Resetet PRAM, not working.
6: Reinstalled the whole system, not working.
I will say that this problem only appears in OS X Lion but not in Snow Leopard.

Ctrl-K check names not work working

I am running an Outlook 2013 client against a Ex2010 server.
One really annoying thing, is that the Check Names (Ctrl+K) keyboard shortcut is not working. If I manually click the icon it works. Any idea of why this is not Working?

Hi,
Did the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+K) work via OWA?
In addition, I recommend you refer to the following article and check if there is any helps:
