Advanced Keyboard Shortcuts

FIRST OF ALL, I KNOW HOW TO CREATE A KEYBOARD SHORTCUT IN SYSTEM PREFERENCES. This involves more detailed "routing" I guess you'd say.
What I want:
-To set a keyboard shortcut for a function in a specific app, that can be used no matter which app is in the foreground. Think the play, forward and back buttons that control iTunes, even if you have Pages open and iTunes minimized.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-I use Spotify for music on my computer. If I'm in Spotify, I can press Command-Up or Command-Down to control Spotify's volume output.
-When I'm in Final Cut Pro editing a video (which I do all day long), I sometimes need to hear the video clip's audio. Other times, I don't need the audio. When I don't need the video's audio, I want my Spotify music to play. Sometimes I want Spotify to play quietly in the background of my video. But every time I want to change Spotify's volume, I need to go back to Spotify and change the volume. Sometimes a few times to get the volume right.
Any ideas?

This would be pretty straightforward with Applescript.
You could put the Applescript in a Service and activate that with a Keyboard shortcut.
BTW, the all caps thing is regarded as rude. It's like shouting. It's also harder to read.

Where can I find advanced keyboard shortcuts?

The "Shift" + "Right Click" is a shortcut to the Tools pallete, which is not listed in LabVIEWS help. Are there more shortcuts like this that are not listed in LabVIEW? If so, where would they be documented?

The LabVIEW 7.0 Help contains a more complete list of keyboard shortcuts in LabVIEW. This same list also is located in the LabVIEW Quick Reference Card shipped with LabVIEW 7.0. If you don't have LabVIEW 7.0, you can access the card on our site: LabVIEW Quick Reference Card
I see that the Shift+right-click shortcut is not listed, so I'll make a note of that for us to add in a future release of LabVIEW. If you have feedback on content missing from the LabVIEW Help or manuals, you can send your feedback to us directly at [email protected]

PS3 Extended - keyboard shortcut for advancing one frame?

HI,
I just can't find any keyboard shortcut to advance one frame forward/backwards while working with a video file in PS3 Extended.
Would be very helpfull while painting, cloning etc.
Thanks,
Michal

In case, exporting single frames is your prefered share-option:
Open Prefs/Destinations
ctrl-click on 'Export actual frame'
set to 'Standard:
From now on, hit cmd-E to export the actual frame ...
And no '' here, this is a User2user board ...

Application Keyboard Shortcuts not working in Text Edit

Under System Preferences (Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Keyboard Shortcuts -> All Applications), I changed some basic keyboard shortcuts (Copy, Paste, etc.) to use the ctrl key instead of the command key. These shortcuts seem to work well in the basic applications I use (MS Office, Firefox, etc.)
However, they do not work in TextEdit. I did verify that the Menu name in I entered in System Preferences matches exactly the way it appears in TextEdit.
Anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas on how to resolve it? I would very much like this fixed since my switching between Windows (in Parallels) and Mac OS X is seamless except for the fact that I have to remember different keyboard shortcuts in each OS. Thanks in advance!

Converting Mac keyboard shortcuts to Windows/PC based shortcuts.

Hello,
Let me say, I have been using Mac based platforms since close to 1991 on and off. I used System 7 (and OS 8/9, but close enough to System 7) for many years up until I started to use Windows starting on the later 9x and XP platforms. As I start to drift away from Windows to more likely use Macs, however I would like to have a consistent keyboard shortcut system similar to Windows or Linux/UNIX (for that matter).
I actually get confused very easily switching from Macs and Windows with keyboard commands often when I use Windows comp and when I am using the Mac. (Just switching from different kinds of keyboards confuse me from the razor thin keys to a regular keyboard, because going from another one confuses me because of different pressures to press the on.)
I also believe this may have to do with a "workflow" process/scripting, if I am not mistaken. Is there a script I can download, that has close to the standard Windows/PC commands that I can import into the Mac, and can these scripts be edited to adapt my own commands as well? Is there a way to use most of the function keys (F1-12) for the standard commands for the different purposes? I also would like the Option (alt)-Tab to cycle the different apps and Option-Esc to cycle all windows opened. I would like to try to reduce all Option/Command/Control/Shift commands to just a couple of keystrokes or an F key. These modifier keys I think are becoming old, especially since it doesn't meet Apple's simplicity, giving there is up to three keystrokes to press at a given time for some commands.
I had tried the way on the System Preferences, but it doesn't go globally through all applications - real problem lies on the Apple apps on some. I strongly believe this is possible to do, since it might be able to work via a scripting system. I hope this could work. Apple has come a long way to open up the system's architecture without really messing things up, or just opening up the OS without hex apps is great. I hope they can just keep this up so the users can decide how they want their mac to work, because they know what's right for their purposes.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

You may like youpi key. It is free. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported. There is a commercial version you can buy, called iKey.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11485&vid=75326
Here is my script for listing my application folder. I have it assigned to function-key 6.
tell application "Finder"
activate
select window of desktop
make new Finder window to startup disk
select Finder window 1
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "Applications" of startup disk
select Finder window 1
set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
end tell
This script was automatically generated in script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some minor editing, I copy the script to youpi key.
I have all of my frequently used applications set to function keys. I am thinking of changing the switching to Scripts because there seems to be a side effect to some of the switching like the speaking.

How to apply different keyboard shortcuts to an actions with the same name but in different menus within one application?

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help. I have the application "djay" and in two different menus there is the action "Eject". I was wondering if it's possible to apply different keyboard shortcuts to those actions with the same name? I can't see how to do it as it seems you can only write the action but as there are two it doesn't seem to work for me.
For example:
djay>Table-1>Eject - ⌘⇧1
djay>Table-2>Eject - ⌘⇧0
Thanks in advance for any help!!

A NodeList doesn't only contain 1 element. In your example it contains ALL <Data> elements inside the document.
NodeList nodes = document.getElementsByTagName("Data");
System.out.println(nodes.getLength() + " \"Data\"-elements found");
for(int i=0; i<nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Node node = nodes.item(i);
}

How can I delete words from the "Replace list" on my Mac without deleting them in "Keyboard Shortcuts" on my iPhone?

I have scoured the internet but I have not been able to find a solution for this issue. It seems my "Replace list" and "with list", or "Keyboard Shortcuts" as it's called on the iPhone (Where to find it on a Mac ; Where to find it on an iPhone) migrated from my iPhone (iOS 8.1.2) to my Macbook (OSX Yosemite 10.10.1) when I logged in with my iCloud account.
I really, really don't want this feature on my computer but I do want it on my phone. However, whenever I delete words on my computer they get deleted from my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to disable this on my computer? This is what my settings look like now:
It seems like other people must not be bothered by this since I can't find anything about it online... but it's driving me nuts. And I've disabled autocorrect in my settings and for the programs I use but it happens no matter what. Is the only solution to this logging my computer out of my iCloud account? I can't believe there is no other way around this...
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Of the items you have left in iCloud that are syncing the "Notes" one might be the most logical.
In some cases items in Accessibility can effects things like this but I see no obvious candidates.

How do i use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" keyboard shortcut to Lock and Unlock Guides in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello,
I've been trying to lock my guides in Illustrator CS5 with the default keyboard shortcut "Alt+Ctrl+;", but with no result.
When i edit this shortcut via the 'Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts...' menu, and type in the same keystroke combination for that command - so again "Alt+Ctrl+;" for "Lock Guides' - the shortcut changes from "Alt+Ctrl+;" into "Alt+Ctrl+."
This new "Alt+Ctrl+." shortcut is usable. Now the same 3 different keystrokes tabbed at the same time do lock and unlock the guides, but i'm left wondering why it is that i can't use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" combination.
There now also seems to be no way around changing the new combination into the old one again.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance,
Johan

Thanks Jacob. I can't seem to find a solution to my problem within the site you linked, but i'm still happy with it. Seems to be a great resource for answers.

Some Keyboard Shortcuts No Longer Working in Apps

Recently, two specific keyboard shortcuts have stopped working within all my apps:
command-1
command-2
For example, in Final Draft they are supposed to switch formatting to become scene headings and action lines, respectively. All the other command shortcuts still work. In Word, I have command-1 through command-6 commands set to change text colors. Command-1 and command-2 no longer work but the rest stil function properly.
All of my shortcuts worked perfectly for well over a year. Anyone know why two of them might have stopped all of a sudden?
Thanks in advance,

Ignore the permissions messages, as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Here's the second way:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

I need help doing a clean install.( keyboard shortcuts?).Macbook will not read any of the disks/ turns off

I installed a new 'used' Logic board, im my macbook 13.3 and it turned right on!..( i was out of warrenty)
Apple logo and spiing wheel, then turns off..
After reading several forums, I went into self mode, did the 2 checks within in and got an error which pointed to the OS software being currupted..
so I have inserted the Os disk, the disk-repair disk and a disk warrior disk, but none of them are being read. I hear the Macbook starting to read the disk then the disks are ejected and the systen turns off.
Is there a way i can do a clean install on the HD? shortcut keyboard shortcuts?
or force the disks to be read as the first boot device like of that in a PC's bios settup?
I have no data on the computer that I wish to save btw.. just want a fresh install..
thanks for any help in advance.

Unfortunately the necessary software to reinstall your OS is not located on the hard drive. If your MacBook will not accept the disks you have you are going to need a hardware repair, probably the optical drive.
If you have access to another MacBook you may be able to install the OS on an external hard drive and use that to boot your MacBook. You may then be able to get any data off of your hard drive.
Best of luck.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open bins in the project pane?

Hi there!
Quick question: Is there a keyboard shortcut that allows you to open a bin in Premiere Pro's project panel?
I know I can just double-click it, but I like sticking to my keyboard as much as possible. If there's any default keyboard shortcut or configurable one, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Version - Most up to date CC.

Option clicking any bin twirl down will open all bins. Otherwise, as shooternz noted, the shortcut wouldn't know which bin you wanted to open, so it's not really possible with some kind of clicking.

Different keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Reader 9 for navigation

In Adobe Reader 9 (German) the keyboard shortcuts for navigation have changed obviously. In previous versions one can zoom in/out to window size with "CTRL-0". Now CTRL-0 zooms in (like CTRL-+ before). CTRL-1 seems to zoom out. Is this a bug or why does Adobe change the shortcuts in Adobe Reader 9 (btw: any other Adobe product uses the same shortcuts as older versions).
Does anybody know, how to resize the document to window size via keyboard shortcut?
Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Hi!
I was wondering about the exact same thing:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b65468
I believe it is not a bug, just an unreasonable, stupid change.
Thanks though, for mentioning that you actually can zoom in now using ctrl+0 (or ctrl+2 i guess)!
For resizing to window size I use "ctrl+L", so if you are in zoomed mode you have to holde ctrl and hit L twice to jump to window size again. Hope that helped!

In Premiere Pro CC 2014 Is there a "go to timecode" keyboard shortcut??

So I looked around a bit, and I can't seem to find the keyboard shortcut for this. So rather than give up, I decided to finally join this forum so I can ask the experts. As well as find other answers to nagging questions I have about adobe products in general.
Basically I am just trying to find a way to jump around my timeline using timecode, without having to reach over to my mouse and click on this: every time I want to change the timecode.
Thanks in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

On my system you don't have to use the mouse.
If you have the timeline panel or the Program panel active, and start entering numbers on the numeric keypad portion of the keyboard, they automatically begin to populate the timecode window. Hit enter on the keypad and the playhead is moved to the timecode location you have entered.
If you use Shift + 0 to switch to the Source monitor, again, just typing numbers on the numeric portion of the keyboard populates the timecode window. Hit enter on the keypad and the source monitor playhead is moved to the timecode location within the clip you have entered.
The catch, as I said, is that you must be entering a timecode number that can be found within the duration of clip, otherwise your typing is ignored. No mousing required.
