Action Options (shortcut keys) disappear

I'm setting up shortcut keys for actions on a new Mac Pro (the garbage can model). When I close photoshop then reopen it, the shortcuts are gone. The action is still there but the shortcut associated with it is gone.
Any ideas?
It's really that simple. Create action. In the actions menu, select the action and "action options". Create shortcut. Run action with shortcut. Close Photoshop. Reopen. It's gone.

Have you saved your Actions as atn-files? If you reliad those do they store the shortcuts?

  • Shortcut keys disappearing on reboot

    Guys
    I'm using to putting things on the desktop and if you right click on a desktop icon, properties, you can define a shortcut key like ctrl+alt+k. However, on every reboot, these disappear for me. Has anybody heard about this happening on 8.1
    Thx

    Though it's for Windows 7, causes and solutions are similiar to Windows 8.1, so please check whether this issue is related with "broken" shortcuts, temporarily turn off Computer Maintenance and other scheduled maintenance tool in your system.

  • PS Action Shortcut Keys Stopped Working

    I have saved my actions with each having a shortcut key to tasks I do everyday. For no apparent reason I started PS and when I click on the shortcut keys (ex. shift+F3) instead of the assigned task it starts an unrelated task like new layer menu pops up or it desaturates the image. However when I go to the actions menu and select the task and push play it works fine. Only the shortcut keys seem to be mixed up. Does anyone know what has happened or what I can do to fix this problem?

    Its gone back to the default F key shortcuts Gina.
    The cause can be one of two things. Either you have deleted or diasabled your Actions (its possible to disable them by unchecking them in the Actions panel) - OR your Operating system has been set in some way to override the F keys. Unfortunately I'm not a windows user, but a similar thing happens on Mac. There will be a control panel somewhere on your machne that allows you to assign these shortcuts.

  • CS5 action shortcut keys not working in Lion

    I've just reinstalled CS5 on my new mac which is running Lion - all seems to be running smoothly so far, but when I use the F keys which have assigned actions, it defaults to the OS defined action for that key (eg: F1 adjusts the monitor brightness etc).
    My old mac used a generic keyboard as my Mac one died a painful soft-drink related death, so this may not be specific to Lion - is there a way for Photoshop to override the base action for that key? I've tried combinations of modifier keys with the function key with no success. Any ideas?

    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
    Have you checked if you can deactivate the conflicting shortcuts under Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts?

  • Read color/shortcut keys for Actions in Actions Palette?

    Is it possible to use Javascript to read the color and shortcut key assigned to an action using Javascript?
    I'm looping through and building a list of actionsets/actions into an XML file and would like to include the color and shortcut  as well.
    Thanks!

    Thanks to a response I received on another forum, it appears that this info is not available from the action descriptor and the only way to get at it is to write your action palette out to the file system as a temporary file, read and process this binary file, and then delete the temporary file you had written.

  • Cross-platform shortcut keys for Actions

    I'm using Captivate 5 on Windows. If I enter a shortcut like ALT-F or CTRL-F for an Action for an object, will a Mac user be able to use that shortcut after the project is published?

    The whole area of shortcut key combinations for use in e-learning is just one big nightmare, and it's not Captivate or Flash's fault.
    If you Google the Flash forums about keystroke combinations you'll find their all trying to find solutions for the same problems there.  It's impossible to predict reliably which keystrokes will or not work because every browser is at least slightly different.
    The ones that seem most unreliable are any key combinations involving function keys and the Ctrl or Alt keys.  Since the interaction with an elearning SWF happens in a browser, the browser always sees the keystroke coming first before the SWF gets to 'hear' it.  If the browser has a certain key combination reserved for its own functionality then it uses it...end of story.
    I realise this is a big disappointment for those people wanting to create elearning that showcases keystroke functionality for software sims, but that's the world we live in.

  • My shortcut keys on CS6 are gone. I get a message to reinstall CS6. I would rather not go through the hell of getting the license key for Adobe. Any options?

    I get the message that my shortcut keys have gone missing.... And the message says to reinstall Photoshop CS6. I would rather burn my arms off than go through the hell of reinstall with Adobe's horrible licensing process. Please help me avoid this! I tried system restore on my Windows PC to no avail. Any solutions or downloads I might try?
    Thanks for any help.
    John

    Not sure what you mean when you say "Adobe's horrible licensing process". If you have a valid license key code you type it in and you are done. The program, licensing system, checks that key against the online system and if it is valid and not installed on more than 2 computers at the same time you don't have to do anything else.
    If the version of CS6 you are using is an Upgrade version then you will need to type in a valid license key from a qualified previous version. Again once that is done and it is checked against the online license system you are done.
    As to your problem with the shortcut keys going away I "Think" that is a problem with your computer more than with Photoshop. Some how the file that holds the default and user edited keyboard shortcuts has become corrupted or you have somehow deleted it. If it became corrupted that is a Sure Sign you have a hardware problem. More than likely some type of hard drive problem, the drive might be on it's last legs, it is failing and will need to be replaced.
    One thing I suggest you do from this point forward is make regular backups of your complete system. Like doing it every week if not more. That way when, NOT IF, you have similar problem you can restore your system from the most current backup. And if it is a hardware failure, like the drive going bad, you can restore your system to that state once the hardware problem is fixed.
    If you do have a hardware problem, like the hard drive is dying, reinstalling PS won't stop it from happening again.

  • ABAP workbench shortcut key :: T-code input

    Does anyone know the shortcut key for Transaction code input field?
    I mean something like "Alt+D" for IE browser.

    hi David,
                please check the following inf. this could be helpful for the question u have asked.
    You can use an input field to enter and edit text. It consists of a field name and the field data.
    Use
    When the input field has the focus [External], you can enter text and numerical data using the keyboard.
    Access
    Sequential element navigation works for input fields, which means you can move the focus [External] forwards to an input field using [Tab] or backwards using [Shift]+[Tab]. You may need to press [F2] to start the text editing process. If an underlying function exists, you can start it by pressing [F2] – this corresponds to a double click with the left mouse button.
    Help Functions
    When the input field has the focus [External], you can call up the help documentation for this field by choosing [F1]. If the input field has a tool tip, you can call it up by choosing [Ctrl][q]. You can open the context menu of the focused input field by choosing the [ContextMenu] key or [Shift][F10]. In more complex applications, the F4 help opens up a dialog box and provides selection options. If there is an F4 help, this is indicated by a small icon to the right

    of the input field, which appears as soon as the focus moves to the field. To call up a history list and choose one of your previous entries, choose [Backspace] when the text cursor is at the first position in the field.
    The system only displays tool tips and history lists if the settings under Options allow this. To call up the options dialog box, choose [Alt]+[F12] and the appropriate character key.
    Internal Navigation
    You can move the text cursor between characters using the right and left arrow keys within the input fields. Use [Ctrl][Left] or [Ctrl][Right] to go to the next or previous word. Use the keys [Home] and [End] to position the cursor before the first or after the last word or character in the field.
    Select
    To select characters in an input field, you can use [Shift] with the right and left arrow keys. To select the word before or after the text cursor, choose [Ctrl]+[Shift] with the left or right arrow key.
    Manipulation
    You can use the clipboard to copy or cut selected characters. Choose [Ctrl][c] or [Ctrl][x] to do this. You can paste them elsewhere by choosing [Ctrl][v]. You can undo your last action by pressing [Ctrl][z]. When editing text, you can use the [Delete] key to delete the character to the right of the cursor and the [Backspace] key to delete the character to the left of the cursor.
    When entering data, you can toggle between the insert mode and the overwrite mode by pressing the [Insert] key. When you are in the insert mode, any data to the right of the cursor moves to the right when you type. The insert mode is the default mode in the standard system. In the overwrite mode you overtype any data to the right of the cursor.
    Exit
    To finish editing, choose [Tab] or [Enter] to leave the input field and accept the changes made. To finish editing and undo the changes made, choose [Escape].

  • HT4614 How can I define shortcut keys to run apps, files and folders, OS X?

    Hi
    It could make work so fast by using shortcut keys
    For example using "option + command + Control+P" to go to "picture" folder.
    but cant do it in Mountain Lion
    is there any way to do that?
    Thank you!
    Safa

    To define keyboard shortcuts use the keyboard Preferences > Shortcuts panel in the Preferences.
    Create an Automatotor service, to open the folder you want,
    Install that service in your User Library "Services" folder (for example named "OpenPicturesFolder)
    Then bind that service to the keycombination you want.
    A simple service to open the "Pictures" folder could look like this:
    First, an action "Get Specified Finder Items" to select the "Pictures" folder,
    Then "Open Finder Items" to open that folder.
    You do not need to create a service, if there are already menu commands that do what yu want. Then simply bind the menu command to the key combination.
    Good Luck

  • How to Open a Specific Folder in the Finder via Shortcut Key

    I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, so sorry for not finding it...
    Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to open a specific folder with Automator or AppleScript? There are 4-5 commonly used folders buried 10-11 levels deep on a server and I'd love to have a shortcut key to open those particular folders in the Finder.
    Could you give me some assistance?
    Thanks!

    QuickKeys may work, or you can look on http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com for other alternatives.
    Another option is to create aliases to those folders and store the aliases in a local folder which you can place on your Dock, the Finder window sidebar or toolbar.

  • 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.

  • Is there a shortcut key to execute query like in Ms sql server F5?

    Hi,
    Am trying to use isql*plus to execute queries. I find it little difficult to click the execute option in the page frequently, is there a shortcut key combination to execute the queries like in ms sql server 2005 F5?
    help is appreciated.
    thanks
    Dtrinity

    I've never seen any documentation about shortcut keys, and for the limited use I've had with isqlplus, I've never found any

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.
