10.10.2 and ps 6 keyboard shortcuts

I have an MPB (Retina, 15", mid-2014) with Yosemite 10.10.2. The keyboard shortcuts suddenly disappeared while PS was open and won’t reset. I have the same CS 6 on an iMac (10.9.5) and the shortcuts have been working without any problem. I'm wondering if this is a Yosemite problem.
It was frustratingly hard to set the shortcuts on the MBP. No defaults were set like there usually are. After a few hours they finally worked (and I don't really remember how I wrangled it). The shortcuts worked fine for a month, then they disappeared while PS was still open.I haven’t been able to reset them.
I have tried:cmd-opt-shift and start Photoshop, "Delete Photoshop Settings file", released the keys, clicked Yes, and let Photoshop finish loading.Rebooted computer.Didn’t work.I uninstalled, ran CC Clearner Tool, re-installed.Still the keyboard shortcuts wouldn't reset.
When I try to save or create a new set of shortcuts, I can see 2 Keyboard Short cuts folders. One is in lower case (keyboard shortcuts) in the application itself with “Presets” and “Auto Recover.” You cannot open or find this folder from the Finder.
The other is “Keyboard Shortcuts” in the “Presets” folder.I have tried to contact Adobe support, but haven't been able to (the contact option is only "Forums."Adobe i.d.: [email protected] there anything you can suggest that might help?Thanks so much.
Anyone been able to solve this?

Yes, I've noticed there are a lot of people out there with the same
problem. I'm wondering if Adobe is aware of it and if so, if they are
working on solving it.
Thing is, I have the same CS6 on an iMac running Mavericks and it's solid. So I think it's a Yosemite thing. Is the CC version of CS also problematic on Yosemite? If not, then I think this problem will just remain and fade into history in a couple of years...

Command+Return and Shift+Return keyboard shortcuts stopped working

I'm using Firefox 4.0 on a 21.5" iMac running Mac OS X version 10.6.7. Just this morning, the command+return and shift+return keyboard shortcuts to auto-complete the .com and .net addresses of websites stopped working. Command+w still closes a tab, and command+left click still opens a tab in a new window. However, when I type anything in the address bar ("mac" for example) and then hit command+enter, Firefox opens up a new tab with a Google search for the word I typed. The address for this new tab is as follows:
http://www.google.com/search?q=mac&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Any idea what gives? I'm rather perplexed and frustrated.

Just removed OmniBar and the problem went away.

PS, OS X and Norwegian Apple keyboard, shortcut problems

I have searched high and low (forums, google etc) for a solution to my problem. I am becoming quite desperate and thought it wise to post. It might be an odd problem that only a few of us have, since it relies on a non-US keyboard. I might share my problem with more people than I realise.
My problem is Photoshop and keyboard shortcuts.
E.g. I am using Magentic Lasso Tool and want to increase or decrease the tolerance level or I am using a brush and I want to increase or decrease brush size. These commands rely on [,],{,} and similar keys. Especially when using Magentic Lasso Tool (I use that and brush a lot for masking) I need to increase and decrease contrast.
On a Norwegian Apple keyboard [,],{,} and similar keys are mapped with pressing the ALT + 8 and 9 or ALT + SHIFT 8 and 9 accordingly. Photoshop doesn't recognize ALT + or ALT + SHIFT modifiers. It just doesn't work and I can't access the shortcuts.
I can't use the mouse to navigate to Tolerance either, as with Magentic Lasso Tool it will create a path upwards in the canvas towards the toolbar and when I click the value box to change it will complete the current path to selection.
I thought I'd be smart and change the shortcut in Tools from [,] to ALT + 8 and 9, but Photoshop denies me this with the message "Opt+8 is an invalid shortcut. You can only use a single character for tool shortcuts."
I can map the keys to something else and sacrifice another important shortcut of course. This would just cause more problems down the line.
I know there are users or lurkers in this forum with a similar problem. Anyone up for giving me my sanity back?

Exactly. Bad translations and the lack of application-updates were the main reasons I originally switched to US English versions years and versions ago. Unfortunately I need to use Swedish localized versions at work so I still see the lousy translations.
For those of you who are only using English and living in English speaking countries, note that the problem is that keyboards that come with the machines are localized to your area and if you change keyboard layout the layout of the keys do not match what is under them. Does make it hard to work unles you glue something to the keys or create an overlay (remember those?) for the keyboard. That means that for isntance you cannot reach the tilde key (just an example, there are other ones too) but by using yet other keys to get there. That's what breaks the shortcut.
Editing keyboard shortcuts in each and every version of the applications is usally also not an option (and in some apps those shortcuts - if they can be called shortcuts when they contain around 4 keys...) as the shortcuts do not even reside in a selfcontained file that you can move to other machines, but is embedded into other settings. Or hardcoded into the application an unreachable. And not portable between versions.
Changing keyboard layout in Internationl is not an option either.
The only application that is semi-smart is actually Bridge where you can set your keyboard prefs to another keyboard layout than the one you use for the application itself (Bridge is multi-lingual like OS X) and then the shortcuts follow with that setting. On the other hand you cannot edit shortcuts in Bridge. Bridge is also a limited application when it comes to features and shortcuts which makes this esier from an engeneering view I would guess. The other Adobe apps are far more complex in that regard (and if a short-cut would be changed in favour of the international users in for instance Illustrator, you would hear a roar you wouldn't believe from those Illustrator users....those are a conservative bunch).
The only solution that would be a good one would be if there would be no hardcoded shortcuts at all that are tied to one keyboard layout only, the US English one, but would use keys that can be used regardless of keyboard layout used at user end. I've fought for this for many years but so far only with limited success.

I am a disabled user and I need keyboard shortcuts to program the software. Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut for 'Save link as' ? Very grateful for your help. Thanks. :)

I am using Windows 7 ultimate and Firefox 4. I tried Alt + enter which does not work.

There is no shortcut key for such context menu items. 
You can use the context menu key on the keyboard to open the right-click context menu on a link and press 'k' for the "Save Link As" item. 
You need to press the tab key until you arrive at that link.
You can set the pref browser.display.focus_ring_width to a higher value (I use 3) to make it easier to see which link has focus.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

My MIDI device stops playing notes and starts triggering keyboard shortcuts

Hello everybody.
I have a problem,
My M-audio keystation 61e
stops playing notes after a while.
Like it has a about 1 or 2 octaves and
then any higher or lower you go, they start becoming shorcuts.
ex. Undo, paste, splice...
can anybody help me?

Open the key commands window, turn off MIDI remote. Check you haven't assigned MIDI notes to key commands. Open the controller assignments window, and again check you haven't got weird assignments.
If in doubt, trash both your Logic preference files and see if it goes away.

When icloud drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

When iCloud Drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
ANyone found a solution to this?
I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

Hi Susana,
I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

How: create keyboard shortcuts in Lion-Safari and Preview

I've been trying to create a keyboard shortcut for Preview (and perhaps it would work in Safari) so that when I click command and arrow up, the cursor will jump to the top of the document. For example, I'm reading on page 450 of a pdf file and want to go back to the top I'd have to grab the tiny, tiny doodah on the right side of the page and drag it all the way up. In Windows (I do have two Macs and two Windows PCs) you click on control-up arrow and it happens. I tried to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Lion and it does let me do it, but it doesn't work.
I click on System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, Application Shortcuts. It gives me a choice to add a shortcut by clicking on the plus sign, then I I select Preview and it gives me the choice to write the Menu Title (this is probably the problem) and I write gototop (go to the top of document) and then on Keyboard Shortcut I press command and the up arrow. But it doesn't work. Where do I find the Menu Titles for all programs?
Thank you.
Roxy

Glad it helped.
There is a page on the Apple site that has all the keyboard shortcuts grouped by function/application.
Don;t have the URL in front of me now but if you poke around you should find it. There are a lot of nice features in there (like these) and is worth looking at.

XFCE sometimes forgets keyboard shortcut and layouts

Hello,
I have been using XFCE since gnome3. However, I have the problem with keyboard applet on my desktop (x86-64). I am using us and cz keyboards and switching with keyboard shortcut "alt+shift". Unfortunatelly, the applet once or twice a week forgets this keyboard shortcut and sometimes, it forgets alternative keyboard layout (cz) too.
Everytime it forgets it, I have to set it up again.
I did not realized, when this problem appears. There is no relationship with restart, running some programs, etc.. It seems, it appears randomly, with no corelation to any operation I make.
There is no problem on the second PC (laptop) with archlinux and xfce (but i686).
I think, this problem appeared when I installed xfce for the first time (6 months ago).
Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

ConnorBehan wrote:Unfortunately, most goodies (my own included) are not as well written as the core of Xfce and tend to lose or corrupt their config files from time to time. I have config files for some panel plugins saved in a directory I made called "/home/backups" and I have a line in my rc.local that force copies them back to ~/.config/xfce4/panel/
unfortunately, changing owner or read only mode did not help. I will have to do it by your way, but in cron, because it happens during normal work suddenly and I restart the PC once a week.

CS3 standardizing keyboard shortcuts and other prefs ??

Hello. I have 30+ computers that are running Indesign CS3. Instead of going around to each one and setting all keyboard shortcuts and things like default stroke weight and also prefs. like, Edit > Preferences > Advanced Type and the Small cap setting as well as others. I would like them all to start with my sites default prefs.
Where are these prefs stored. I know the keyboard shortcuts are in the Indesign Shortcut Sets folder, where are all the Edit > Preferences things stored?
If I set one to the way I want it and than copy these files to all computers will this fix my problem?
What are the files, how should I accomplish this?
thanks

Preferences for CS3 are saved in two files in the user profile. The first is InDesign Defaults, under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0 and the second is InDesign Saved Data under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Caches (these are the XP locations. paths are slightly different for Vista) These are hidden files.
The documentation says that it is not recommended to copy these files from one machine to another, and that it is recommended that you script it instead, but I've only found one user who's been able to do that, and since the script was written for a major client he hasn't been willing or able to share it with the world. I've been copying and pasting these files onto multiple machines at my school for years without any trouble, but, if there are differences in configuration from machine to machine you could cause some instabilities. Set a restore point and try it.
Unless you have a system freeze program in place, however, this is largely an exercise in futility. Preferences, as noted, are user-specific and changeable, and get written each time the application closes. The best you'll get is a common starting point.

Shell script and keyboard shortcut

I wrote a bash script, and I would like to start it with a keyboad shortcut, but I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone know?

Hi Hugo,
   Keyboard shortcuts are meant for Carbon and Cocoa applications but it can be done; you just have to wrap the shell script in some sort of application. One way is Sveinbjorn Thordarson's Platypus but I just wrap mine with an AppleScript, invoking it with "do shell script". You have to save the AppleScript as an application. Then you open the "Keyboard & Mouse" pane of "System Preferences" and select the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab. Click the plus sign, '+', pick a key combination and specify your AppleScript or Platypus app as the target.

How can I set up a keyboard shortcut for 'Remove Tween' in Flash Pro CC 2014?

I'm trying to set this up, as I have in previous versions of Flash, but the 'Remove Tween' command (among other commands) is not available in the Keyboard Shortcut window.
Is there some other way to add this shortcut?
Thanks,
George

I don't think this had a keyboard shortcut even before (checked in CS6). There's an alternative though.
1. Create a JSFL file with following code and save it in the commands folder as 'Remove Tween'.
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setFrameProperty('tweenType', 'none');
2. Now goto Edit Menu > Keyboard Shortcuts..
3. Search for 'Remove Tween' and assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
Now everytime you press the assigned key - jsfl script is executed which essentially removes the tween from selected frame. (works for Classic and Shape tween but not Motion Tweens)

Fix for System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts crash

This is not a question, but a solution to a problem that proved difficult to identify and fix for me and three Apple Support personnel, so I thought I should post it here in case others encounter the same issue. I spent a lot of time searching the web and Apple Discussions for this and related issues did not come up with any solutions.
After migrating from Snow Leopard on 2009 MacBook Pro to Yosemite on a new MBP using the Migration Assistant, things went surprisingly smoothly for the most part, until I opened the Keyboard pane of System Preferences. Then, clicking on the Shortcuts tab immediately caused System Preferences to crash, reproducibly.
Crash Reporter pointed loosely to a keyboard-related preference setting. But "com.apple.preference.keyboard" is the name of an OS process, not a .plist file. I searched the web to try to find out where Keyboard Shortcut settings are stored in Yosemite, and also for a possible way to reset the settings to default in Terminal (e.g. using the "defaults" routine), without success. (Apple Support was not happy that I had Terminal open when they shared my screen, and seemed never to have heard of this routine).
Process: System Preferences [948]
Application Specific Information:
objc_msgSend() selector name: retain
com.apple.preference.keyboard v.14.0 (Keyboard)
objc[948]: GC: forcing GC OFF because OBJC_DISABLE_GC is set
Repairing disk permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, zapping the PRAM, and trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences, some keyboard-related .plist files, and the system prefs and International prefs caches did not fix the problem. With Apple Support, we isolated the problem to my user account, as the same crash did not occur in a test account, or in another account migrated at the same time. Nevertheless, Apple's techs had me removing various menu items and programs also running in these accounts that I had deactivated (Sophos AntiVirus, Little Snitch, etc), and downloading and reinstalling Yosemite, which seemed unlikely to address the cause, given that my main user account was the only one affected.
Apple never had me check 3rd party preference panes (which I should have thought to do earlier myself). Opening and closing an older version of Default App ((RCDefaultApp 2.0.1), a free 3rd party utility, in the Preferences pane, transiently solved the problem. However, it recurred on removing it, and was not fixed by installing the latest release of this preference pane, nor did removing three other 3rd party preferences panes (MacFUSE, a Citrix app, and Flash Player).
Finally I went back to ~/Library/Preferences and looked for any files that had been modified around the time the problem transiently disappeared, and stumbled upon com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist. After viewing its contents with Property List Editor and finding this article, I thought that this file was likely the problem.
I logged into my root account, verified that Shortcuts worked fine there, and that this file changed with a change in Shortcut settings, and (after renaming the offender to save it as a backup), replaced the file in my main user account with a copy of the one from the root account.
I repaired permissions in the offending account, rebooted, and voilà - problem solved!
NB If you are in a similar situation, before trying this fix (at your own risk!), I strongly advise backing up your computer first, and saving a copy of the presumed offending file in case you have to put it back because of unforeseen consequences. You do not need to enable and use the root account; instead you could log in to a new administrator account, or another user account, verify that Shortcuts works fine there (it would not be a bad idea to set up any user-defined App Shortcuts you want there); and copy the file to a shared folder.
Then switch back into the offending account, go to your user Library/Preferences folder (~/Library/Preferences using Go To Folder in Finder), and replace com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist in that account with the one from the shared folder. You should then repair disk permissions afterwards and restart.
If it works, Shortcuts should open fine. Be sure to check each category in the left-hand panel of the Shortcuts panel (e.g. LaunchPad & Dock, Mission Control, etc.) for conflicts, and resolve those by disabling the offending duplicate key combination assignments (I had two, marked by yellow triangle alerts).

Thanks, V.K., for your comments.

not for me. it's both displayed and treated differently. I suspect what you are seeing is a byproduct of using a haxie such as Menu Master.
no it's not. it's treated differently.
In Leopard, Menu Master let me assign Command+Enter to Address Book > Edit Card. When I attempt the same using Keyboard Shortcuts, both Command+Return and Command+Enter are displayed as Command plus a "return arrow." After that, in Address Book, both Command+Return and Command+Enter invoke the "Edit Card" menu action.
not for me.
if you want to use those keys in the shortcuts use one of the many 3rd party app launchers. any one of them will let you do this: Qucisilver, Butler, Spark, Launchbar, ikeys, quickeys etc.
I've been using QuicKeys since the beginning of time, and I have some experience with Butler and LaunchBar. They're useful for what they do. But, as far as I know, none add keyboard shortcuts that are displayed directly in the menus. That display feature is what makes Menu Master and Systems Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts so attractive.
that's because Menu Master is a haxie. none of the other programs mentioned are. you want such functionality you are going have to use a haxie. personally - i stay away from them as they destabilize the system.
When I'm considering new shortcuts, I use KeyCue to display all current shortcuts in a single display. KeyCue now displays QuicKeys shortcuts in the same display, which is a big help.

Setting a new keyboard shortcut

I am trying to set a new keyboard shortcut. I named my New Set, chosen the Product Area, chosen the Command and tabbed to the New Shortcut window. When I try to type in the New shortcut, I can only get 1 letter typed in and then that shortcut pops up(if I try to type Ctrl, as soon as I type C I get a message C copy). Any ideas?
Thanks

Function assigned was swash
Product Area:Panel Menu
Commands:Character: Open type (swash)
Shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+Alt+M
as I follow in the lesson, using the type tool, the N is highlighted and then the keyboard shortcut is used and the N then has some added curlyques at the beginnig and at the end of the letter.
When I try, it deletes the N and gives the green sign (looks like the symbol for non-joiner with a period beneath it). Not sure why I would get this symbol when I try to insert a swash.

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)
When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a Service (such as a Service Workflow created in Automator) using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, if that shortcut key combination includes the Command key, pressing that shortcut will always successfully activate the Service. No problem there.
However, shortcut key combinations that do not include the Command key (for example, the shortcut key combo Ctrl-Shift-D) WILL NOT activate the Service in any newly opened application, until you click on the Services Menu option in that application.
As soon as you click on the application's Services Menu, this seems to bind the shortcut key combo to the Service, and thereafter, that keyboard shortcut will activate the Service in that particular app. But if you then quit and reopen the app, you'll find the Service will once again lose its binding to the shortcut key combination and will thus fail to work again.
This means that shortcut key combinations such as Ctrl-D, Ctrl-Shift-D, F15, Alt-F15, etc are not really viable shortcuts for Services, because they will not work in any newly-opened application until you click on the Services Menu in that application.
This bug thus greatly limits the shortcuts that you can employ for Services, because you can only reliably use shortcut key combos that contain the Command key. This is a fault that Apple really needs to fix. This is a very old glitch: I notice it is present in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, as well as Yosemite 10.10.1.
This bug does not apply to application shortcuts, however, or to other shortcuts in the Shortcuts Preference Pane, just to Services shortcuts (including the Mac's default Services, or any Services you make yourself using Workflows on the Automator software).
To give some examples:
The following keyboard shortcuts for Services WILL NOT work until you click on the Services Menu in the application you are using (and they will cease working again when you quit and reopen the app):
Ctrl-X
Ctrl-Shift-X
Ctrl-Alt-X
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-X
Alt-X
Alt-Shift-X
F1, F2, F3, etc
So until Apple fixes this bug, the above type of key combinations, that do not contain the Command key, are best avoided as shortcuts for Services. It is particularly unfortunate that function keys F1 to F19 do not work reliably, as these would make great single-key shortcuts to Services.
However, the following sort of keyboard shortcuts for Services, all containing the Command key, once set up will always work without fail:
Command-Alt-X
Command-Ctrl-X
Command-Shift-X
Command-Ctrl-Shift-X
Command-Alt-Ctrl-Shift-X
Command-F1, Command-F2, Command-F3, etc
So all the above can be reliably used as shortcuts to Services.
Here X denotes keyboard keys such as A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, =, \, [, etc.
Note that even for keyboard shortcuts containing the Command key, you may very occasionally need to click the Services Menu to get them to work initially in an application (notably in the System Preferences application itself). But if this is necessary, it is just required once when they are first set up, and thereafter the shortcuts containing the Command key will always work without fail.
The above was tested on Yosemite 10.10.1, but most likely applies to other versions of OS X as well, as I believe this bug is an old one. This bug is definitely present in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, because I have observed this same fault in an old Mac I have that runs Snow Leopard.
I have reported this bug to Apple, so hopefully they will see my report and act upon it. However, it might be an idea if others also report this problem of Services shortcuts not working property, to ensure that Apple get the message. You can report a bug to Apple via their bug feedback page here.

Exactly where do you want to use a GO BACK "shortcut" in Bridge? Maybe I don't even understand what you mean by Go Back. Bridge is only a file browser, nothing more. It doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save files at all.
Are you simply referring to going back to view a folder that you viewed before?
Please don't take this a criticism. As someone who will gladly pay money not to have to learn any shortcuts at all, I'm just puzzled and curious, that's all.

Customize Keyboard Shortcuts in Photoshop Elements 9?

Hello, where is the customize keyboard shortcuts dialog? I bought an app for my iPod Touch that uses a .kys file to map the commands to the computer, and I could not find a way to change the keyboard shortcuts.

I've never seen the dialog in a shipping version of elements, but here's one way.
1. Make a copy of the .kys file and then change the name and extension to:
    Keyboard Shortcuts.psp
2. Copy the renamed file into the pse9 settings folder.
    Example for windows vista:
    C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Editor
    Example for mac:
   Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0 Settings
Copy the renamed file into the editor/settings folder and start or restart pse9.
