Alt-Backspace no longer works as Foreground Fill

Recently, Alt-Backspace has stopped working as the shortcut for Foreground Fill. Ctrl-Backspace still works as Background Fill. As far as I can tell, this is the only operation that isn't working correctly.
I'm running 64-bit CC on Windows 7 64bit.
Installed the latest CC update available to me (2014.2.2 release) and it still doesn't work.
Tried the Reset All Tools as suggested in troubleshooting.
Tested the keyboard.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

If you don't have another app open that may be programmed for that key combination, a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

  • Ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work anymore after system update

    After a recent system update (xorg got updated among other packages), ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't restart gdm anymore.
    Before you say it, I have the following in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "DontZap" "false"
    EndSection
    Here is the relevant portion from my /var/log/pacman.log and as you can see, xorg-server did get updated.

  • My arrow keys and backspace no longer works in Sql Developer

    In the work sheet of Sql Developer it is not allowing me to use my arrow keys or backspace key, I can use these keys in the result section but not in the worksheet section. When I use the arrow key it scrolls the page but the cursor stays in the same spot. My scroll lock is not on as these functions work everywhere else. I have looked at short cut keys to see if I hit smoething but not finding anything. Any ideas?

    This is a known problem practically impossible to reproduce reliably.
    It was not reported on the latest releases of SQLDeveloper, so if you are on an old release you might consider switching to the latest one.
    The workaround for the problem in older version requires you to load preset values for the shortcut in
    Tools -> Preferences -> Accelerators -> Load PresetMind this will erase all your user defined shortcut keys

  • Backspace key no longer works to go back a page

    Hi, another issue since Mountain Lion upgrade - backspace no longer works in Safari to go back a page.  Works fine in Firefox but no go in Safari.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    That feature is no longer available on Safari.  I have no idea why this decision was made.

  • Latest xkeyboard-config prevents ctrl-alt-backspace from killing X

    well, as I wrote in the topic latest xkeyboard-config (1.6-1) is preventing ctrl-alt-backspace combination from killing X.  I have DonZap option set to false in my xorg.conf. I don't know if it should be like that. Is it a bug? If not, is it any workaround to make it work again?

    karol wrote:@whoops
    How did you get that magic spell? RTFM or sth else?
    I searched for stuff in google, opened a lot of tabs and somewhere in between there was a site about some patch that said something like "this patch removes the ctrl+alt+backspace keyboard shortcut in xorg - to reenable it, you have to type...".
    So I pasted it into a terminal, hit strg+alt+backspace and it worked. Which is why I don't know, where I found that Information.
    Might have been an ubuntu patch... maybe I should have mentioned that (in case someone added an ubuntu patch to xorg recently to make it "safer" and this is the result...?). edit: no, it wasn't - just found the ubuntu page I was on, and the information isn't from there. But it was on a patch site. Mostly plain text, code, patch info & lots of stuff I didn't understand.

  • How Alt+Backspace shortcut works? (silly question)

    Hello,
    Sometimes I'm reading a tutorial and they say I should use Alt+Backspace shortcut in order to fill the selection with foreground color.
    But everytime I try that on a selection a floating dropdown menu appears (options: Restore, Move, Size, Minimize...)
    It's silly, but I would like to know how to use that properly.
    Thanks,

    That's the right shortcut on windows to fill a selection with the foreground color.
    Are you talking about that menu popping up on the top left of the photoshop window?
    fill shortcuts:

    What version of photoshop and version of windows?

  • Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
    The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

  • [Solved] Alt-Tab window switching no longer working after update (JWM)

    The next issue I am trying to straighten out after a recent, long-overdue pacman -Syu, is the loss of window-switching functionality using the alt-tab key combination. This is under the JWM window manager, by the way. The alt key seems to work as expected when, for example, firefox has focus: if I hit alt left arrow, the browser goes back to the preceding page. But if I hit alt and tab together, say, in the browser or when a terminal has focus, it seems to be read as though I were pressing only the tab key. So, with two windows maximized on the desktop, the alt-tab combination does not toggle between them. If the terminal has focus I can see the cursor jumping over a tab space each time I press the key combination.
    Can anyone offers pointers on how I might resolve or begin diagnosing this issue? I should mention that another change I did in the wake of the update was to make the system log me in and start the GUI each time I boot the machine (as discussed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … h_profile). I'm not sure why that would have any effect but I thought I should mention it. I think this is just a pretty standard pc105 keyboard by the way.
    Input will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    James

    Thank you for your input, anonymous_user. I decided, on reading it, to compare my .jwmrc with the /etc/system.jwmrc file. I noted that, in my .jwmrc, the keybindings section was empty, while that section in the /etc/system.jwmrc had several entries--and even one that seemed to refer to the alt-tab key combination. So I copied that section into my .jwmrc, restarted JWM, and the key combination now seems to be working as it should. Granted, it's a bit strange in that it doesn't open some kind of dialog box with the names of open windows, showing you in list form the windows you're scrolling through. But it does take you to other open windows when, after you've hit the tab key one or more times, you release the alt key. So the issue is resolved and was pretty simple.

  • Copyallurls ctrl+alt+c shortcut no longer working

    After upgrading from Firefox 30 the shortcut ctrl+alt+c to copy all urls no longer works with the extension copyallurls. However, copying all urls still works if I use it from the edit menu or right click menu (it adds entries in those locations). Using another shortcut ctrl+alt+v for pasting urls still works fine. Still happens on a fresh install with it being the only extension.
    These entries appear in the browser console:
    Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="c" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
    Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="x" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
    Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="o" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
    Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="c" modifiers="accel,alt" browser.xul
    Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="v" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately this add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copyallurls/?src=search Copy All Urls] is not available for version 33.

  • ALT-P shortcut no longer works in Print Preview

    After upgrading to version 25.0 on Windows 7 64-bit Professional, the ALT-P keyboard shortcut in Print Preview no longer works. Clicking on the Print button works. I have not made any recent changes to add-ons or extensions.
    My workflow requires that I print many times a day using Print Preview (don't ask!), and losing the keyboard shortcut is very inconvenient.

    It doesn't work for me as well on Linux.<br />
    Pressing the Tab key once makes Alt+P and other shortcut keys work again, so it appears that when the page has focus that the shortcut keys get disabled (if I click the preview page then the shortcut key stop working).

  • Alt-tab in RDP no longer working

    alt-tab while within a windows remote desktop was working and for some reason stopped working although shift-alt-tab does still function. I looked on my older mac which has not had the same updates applied and it does still function there.
    How would I go about finding what has removed this functionality to restore it? I presume some application has grabbed the keystroke and is eating it.
    Thanks

    I did not find a solution for this, but I did start up my old mac which has not had any updates applied since I got this new mac in October and found the alt-tab was still working there in rdp.
    As a note, if I did not mention it before the shift-alt-tab does work which is the same functionality but in reverse order. This makes me believe it is something grabbing just this key combination.
    I do not know if there is a global way on the mac to see who is getting which key - if there is please enlighten me.
    Thanks for keeping this question alive as I am interested in learning how to track down these issues on a mac. On windows, I would fire up spy++ and see who is getting the keys.

  • Dead keys in keyboard no longer working

    I use "us-acentos"  keymap and since 2014-09-24 upgrade the dead keys are no longer working: typing apostrophe  followed by "e" should print "é" but instead it just prints the apostrophe.
    This under X both in bash and in a graphical editor such as leafpad, geany, netbeans. In a non-X session the dead keys do not work either, an apostrophe followed by "e"  will just display a space.
    Would anyone have any suggestion as to why this happened and how to correct it? Thank you.

    Follow-up:
    1) I could restore the keyboard in X with this command:
    $ localectl set-x11-keymap us pc104 alt-intl
    which creates /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "system-keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
    Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
    EndSection
    another option that worked was to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf.pacsave to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf, which also contained the "XkbLayout" and "XkbVariant" lines under "InputClass" (the original file had been renamed to .pacsave in February 2013). See wiki:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg
    The output from localectl status now reads:
    System Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: us-acentos
    X11 Layout: us
    X11 Model: pc105
    X11 Variant: intl
    X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
    So it seems that the result of an earlier upgrade was to "unset" the keyboard for X (compare with output from localectl status in original post). Why?
    2) the keyboard in console (out of X) is still not working. If I try to set it to "us-alt-intl" in /etc/vconsole.conf, it works as "us" should (no dead keys); it I use "us-acentos" some keys do not work. locale-ctl shows that "us-acentos" does exist (but not "us-alt-intl").
    Mystery.

  • Win-key / PrtScr No Longer Working

    I use the Win-key PrtScr-key.  It would take a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it into a folder called //C:USERS\DOUGLAS\PICTURES\SCREENSHOTS.  This folder is located in C\Pictures.  I used this combination forever, but it just
    stopped working.  Even just hitting PrtScr alone no longer works.  BUT hitting the Win-key and PrtScr-key will copy it to the clipboard, but understand the I want to make a *.png file in my Screenshots Folder.
    Just to make sure I'm clear:  Whenever I hit Win-key PrtScr-key it would make a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots.  This feature no longer works and I use
    it daily.  Can anyone please help?
    Please let me know if you require additional info.
    Thank you

    Just to make sure I'm clear:  Whenever I hit Ctrl Alt PrtScr it would make a copy of my desktop image and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots.
    That's backwards IME.  Win-PrtScn does what you want for me and is what I have always used in W8 to do that.  Alt-PrtScn captures the current window to ClipBoard and Ctrl-PrintScrn is the keyboard shortcut which the Snipping Tool uses for
    starting its capture.  I don't know what Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn would do, probably the same as Alt+PrtScn.   PrtScn by itself would capture the entire Display contents to Clipboard, same as ever. 
    Make sure that you don't have a Shift- key stuck.  Use the OSK to check.  Then you would be really pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+PrtScn and who knows what that would do?   <eg>

  • After updating to Firefox 3.6.13 saved passwords no longer work

    Prior to updating to 3.6.13 saved usernames and passwords worked as they should (those fields were automatically filled in). Now after installing 2.6.13 most saved login info will not fill in upon entering the web site. I can go to tools, options, security, saved passwords and all are still listed, yet do not work. I have deleted a couple thinking Firefox would then ask to save login data for that same site, but it doesn't. I tried reverting back to my previous version of 3.5.16 bur saved passwords will no longer work there either.
    It seems as if Firefox doesn't see the saved info.
