Where in the keyboard customization for MAXIMIZE = the accent key (to make panel full screen)?

I wish I had 5.5 so I could search to find this keyboard shortcut. It should be set as default, but it isn't working.

Thanks I found it!
But now I am wondering if I am doing this correct... When you change or add the KC (keyboard customization), if you just hit ok, it doesn't seem to save it.
Do I SAVE AS? If I keep going in and tweeking it,I notice it always brings up [custom] vs. the one I saved: MB. Do I need to save as and over ride it each change? Does it always bring up custom? Can I set it to bring up MB? Thanks

What is the keyboard shortcut for emptying the trash? I've tried "command-click on the trash folder", but nothing happens.

I've looked at the articles on keyboard/mouse click shortcuts; and the only reference I saw for emptying the trash said that right clicking on the trash folder would bring up a menu of options and that one of these would be to empty the trash.
Not the case.
I'm using Thunderbird 24.3.0 on an mac running OS 10.9.2 . When I use the mac version of right click (that is -- control click) I get the following menu options: Open in New tab * Open in New Window * Rename * Favorite Folder * Properties
Empty the trash is not among the options. Since this is such a fundamental operation, I would think a keyboard or mouse-click shortcut would be obvious. What am I missing?
I should add that we manage several email accounts and that they all use "Trash on Local Folders".

Thank you for the reply. Sadly, it didn't work.
On a mac, alt and option share the same key. I tried using option/alt in combination with command, control and shift (+f) -- but none worked. None of these combinations did anything at all. Is that a clue? Could a plugin be causing the problem? In search of a resolution, I deactivated most of my Plugins. Those left are:
* Adobe Acrobat NPAPi Plug-in
* AdobeExManDetect 1.1.0
* Flip4Mac Windows Media Plugin
* Jave Applet Plug-in Java 7 Update 51
* QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3
* Sharepoint Browser Plug-in 14.3.1.
* Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70
Don't know what they do exactly. I have no extensions.
Does this help?

What is the keyboard command for opening the disc drive on a G5

fried old keyboard and am using an older one that doesn't have an "open" button. Thanks in advance

Yes, it’s the same for me. In this case I didn’t know about drutil. I don’t want to take this off-topic, but just a quick question to you, chorleyman: I see you’re using a Firebox. Are you satisfied with it? I believe it’s Core Audio compliant. Back then I had to decide to get the Edirol FA-66 or a Presonus Firebox. I’m absolutely happy with mine, but I’m just curious...

Keyboard shortcut for filling the window?

A couple years ago I was routinely using a certain key combo which would instantly expand a PDF's pages to fill the window (rather than having to click the button in the GUI). But I've forgotten how to do it. I've searched the "keyboard shortcuts" list - in the Adobe Reader Help - but no sign of any such shortcut. I'm currently using Adobe Reader 9.4.7.
Anyone know? Thanks.
- Bob K.

Yeah, that's a good one for maximizing the whole application window. Problem is, it doesn't also stretch the document you're viewing - it leaves the document's zoom level unaffected (unless you've first used your mouse to click the "fill the window" button next to the zoom percentage field, which is what I'm trying to avoid having to do each time I call up a PDF). What I remember was a keyboard shortcut to just make the document fill the app window - without also maximizing the app window to full screen.
The good news is, I just stumbled onto the answer a few minutes ago myself, by trying different key combinations. Turns out, it's Ctrl-3. If a PDF's zoom level is currently set at, say, 50%, you can hit Ctrl-3 and the document will stretch to whatever zoom percentage will fill the app window's current size. If your Reader window is maximized and you hit Ctrl-3, your current 50% document might jump to something like 142%, whereas if the window is un-maximized, say, to about half your total screen area, the doc may only need to jump to 70.4% to fill that smaller window.
Well well. Happy joy!!
Thanks for the reply.

What is the keyboard shortcut for changing dictation language in Yosemite?

I can't find the keyboard shortcuts to change the dictation language in Mac OS X?
I would really appreciate if someone help me with this problem. I work with two languages and I really can't find any way to do that.
Thanks for your help guys

Until the developer can release dictationswitcher compatible with Yosemite, here is an AppleScript that will toggle between two languages. After it switches, it will speak which language has been set. Currently, the spoken text is in English (United States). This script will work on Yosemite and Mavericks. Tested.
What you need to do to get this to work.
Add your alternative language to the Dictation Language pop-up.Set your languages in the AppleScript property strings exactly as they appear in the Dictation Language Menu.
Copy/Paste the following AppleScript into your Script Editor (/Applications/Utilities).
Click the hammer (compile) button
Save once as File format text (dictation.applescript) - don't hide the extension, or check any of the checkboxes.
Option+Save As… File format Application to your Desktop. Hide the extension, and check no other checkboxes.
The first time that you run this application, you will receive a dialog box just like the one below (I changed the name back to dictation):
Click Open System Preferences. Click on the gold lock button in the lower left corner. The Accessibility category will be selected, but the dictation application in the list of apps will be unchecked. Check it, and then click the gold lock again. Quit out of the dictation application on your Desktop, and run it again. If you happen to get another dialog indicating that it still does not have permission, revisit the System Preferences > Security & Privacy panel, and under the Privacy tab > Accessibility, uncheck the dictation application, and then recheck it again. Quit System Preferences. This happened to me, and following this second action allowed it to work properly.
Future releases of OS X may impact this application if Apple changes the order of the UI elements.
I modified this AppleScript from an Apple StackExchange post by qegal in 2012.
Copy/Paste the following AppleScript into your Yosemite Script Editor per the above instructions.
property defaultLang : "English (United States)"
property altLang : "German (Germany)"
-- property altLang : "French (France)"
tell application "System Events" to set p to (path to frontmost application) as string
     tell application "System Preferences"
     activate
          reveal anchor "Dictation" of pane "com.apple.preference.speech"

               tell pop up button 1 of tab group 1 of window "Dictation & Speech"
                    click
                    try
                         if (get value of attribute "AXValue") contains defaultLang then
                             click menu item altLang of menu 1
                             say "Dictation set to " & altLang
                         else if (get value of attribute "AXValue") contains altLang then
                            click menu item defaultLang of menu 1
                            say "Dictation set to " & defaultLang
                         end if
                   on error errmsg number errnbr
                         tell process "System Preferences" to if it is running then quit
                         display alert altLang & "not configured in Dictation Languages, please add." as critical giving up after 10
                   end try
               end tell

Keyboard shortcut for opening the spelling suggestions menu?

On windows one can use the keyboard button for a right-click in order to open the spelling pop up menu in programs such as Word.
Is there any similar way to open the spelling suggestions for the global OS X spell checking via the keyboard?
Thanks!

Hi,
You posted this a few months ago so may already have found the answer. If you press command shift ; all spelling suggestions will come up for you.

Disengaging the keyboard latch for 12" G4 Powerbook

Hello again;
Does anyone know how to disengage the keyboard latch for a G4 Powerbook 12" ?
I am trying to reset the PMU. I have the keyboard screws off (under the F1/F2 and F11/F12 keys. I also have the F5/F6 keys off. I have removed the screws but the latch(?) seems to be black and is not a normal screw.
Help please.
Cheers
(This is also posted in the 'power-battery' section (sorry but I'm desperate to fix this machine).

First, there is no reason to remove the keyboad in order to do a PMU reset on any of the 12" powerbooks. For instructions on PMU resets for all 'modern' macs, see this kbase document: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
Second, there is no latch on the keyboard for those machines. To remove the keyboard you just remove those F1, F2, F11, F12 keys, remove the tiny screws under them. Then turn the computer over, remove the 4 screws holding the ram cover on, remove the single black screw found under that panel. Now the keyboard will flip up. Pictures and more detail available here: http://www.pbfixit.com/Guide/53.5.0.html

I need to find the keyboard command for "PrintScreen"

I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
Processor 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo.
I'm just looking for the keyboard command for the "PrintScreen" function.
Any help?

Thanks, Niel,
The only way that I could print all the columns on the page was to use the printscreen function. Regular printing cut off a crucial portion of the information.
If you know of any way to bring the print screen to full size - mine would only print in a compressed version - I'd love to know that as well.
Your answer, however, was very helpful.
Thanks,
Michael

Try a Reset... you will not lose data or settings...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
