Alt-Shift-P

Maybe I'm missing something basic here, but I'm going through a tutorial and it says to "press alt-shift-p to enable keyframing for position and reveal it in the timeline." But when I do this, Windows Media Player opens.
Is there an override somewhere where I can shut that off in Windows or have AE shortcuts override Windows shortcuts when the program is open?

No no no... uninstall and reinstall Media Player since it was overriding the AE shortcut and would not release it.
Going through that whole process, though, did reveal the answer.
The versions of Media Player that can go into mini mode on the taskbar are/is the culprit. When I got to reinstalling MP, it told me to close all other windows (as everything does) and to turn off mini mode. It showed me how to turn it off if it was on: right click on the taskbar, go to toolbars, and uncheck Windows Media Player.
That being checked in the first place was probably what caused the shortcut override. I went to my manager's computer and WMP was not checked on hers and the Alt-Shift-P did not launch WMP.
Alt-Shift-P now works in AE as it is supposed to now that the WMP mini mode is disabled/unchecked in the taskbar toolbar menu. Had I known about that, this problem would have been solved in 1.5 - 2 seconds tops.
I feel a Yosemite Sam coming....

Win10: 7.5.0.102 crashes after changing language via Alt+Shift+(2\3)

Windows 10 build 10130 @ English MUI
Skype 7.5.0.102
Language changing is set up to use Alt+Shift+(1\2\3) to switch to English\Russian\Ukrainian accordingly.
After pressing Alt+Shift+2 or Alt+Shift+3 in any chat Skype stops responding. Bug existed since dinosaurs.
I can help with debugging. Just tell me what to do.

I'm sorry for providing an incorrect information, but the issue is still here. When I was writing that post the languages were switching without any issues, but now Skype crashes as it was before.
It seems like this issue is floating and it can be reproduced only in some circumstances.
Probably, it might be related to the hybrid power off mode of the WIndows 8 and Windows 10 or settings synchronization.

Action script for batch-opening psd layer files flat? (alt+shift?)

hi
i am daily batch processing with an action script to make flat tiffs from psd layer files, like 10-100 files every couple of days in my workflow.
until now i could not fine a solution to begin the batch processing-action with opening layer files FLAT.
the reason is: i am working with huge files, 5-20GB .psb files, (16bit, ECI-RGB, 50x100cm, 300dpi) and it takes a couple of seconds to open with my pcie-SSD.
that multiplies the time it takes to open 50 of such files. i would gain a lot of time, if photoshop cs6 would not open it with layers, but flat.
there is a workaround i am using daily: (osx) hold alt+shift, then click on the layer file in the finder and cs6 opens it flat.
but that did not work in the action script. it doesnt store the keyboard command alt+shift.
any idea how i could save time and use the alt+shift command in the action script or any other solution please?
thanks
peter

I just tried to record this using ScriptListener, and it didn't record it either. No indo in the ExtendScript SDK on this either. I don't think that this is possible at this time. Maybe someone who know more than I do can find a way.

I keep getting the error message "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked" even after resetting my preferences. I have to use Ctrl, Alt, Shift to start photoshop every time

I'm unable to start Photoshop without holding down Ctrl, Alt, Shift each time I open it. Also Lightroom is now unable to open photos in Photoshop. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.

Alt+Shift works wrong in CS5 Dreamweaver

When I working in main window (designer) and press Alt+Shift (standard switching language), the following happens:
1. Toolbars Style rendering, Document, Standard blinks
2. Dreamweaver window looses focus, so I am not able to type anymore unless I click it.
3. The focus goes on the Snippets tab.
4. HOME, END and TAB keyboard keys stop working
Are this a bug or some keyboard shortcut? If this a some shortcut, how I can change it? (in Edit - Keyboard shortcuts I can't find it)

OS: Win 7 64 bit Ultimate
It's occur every time when I do this in Dreamweaver, independently of other programs running.

Left Alt+Shift combination

When I click left Alt+Shift in order to change keyboard language, the Edit window (either in Code or in Design view) looses the focus, so I can't type anymore. I have to use the mouse (click where the text should be) and then start typing again.
Please note that it only occurs in Edit window (where the contents of the page are) and not in any other place. For example I don't have the problem when I'm in the Properties Panel and I want to type an ID in the second language (1st keyboard language is English, 2nd is Greek). Furthermore the problem is only DW (CS4) related. All the other applications are working as they should (Word, Excel, Photoshop, Firefox, etc).
The weird thing is that, when I first open DW the combination works OK, but after a while it doesn't. Especially, after I use the Snippets panel.(select a snippet and click the Insert button).
Any thoughts?

This is a known issue with switching keyboard layout in Dreamweaver. Switching keyboard layout results in the toolbars being redrawn. You can submit a bug report/feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, but there's nothing you can do about it apart from use the mouse to refocus the program after switching.

If Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons not working to reset your adobe photoshop cs5.1 preference to default

How to reset Photoshop preferences (In Windows):
First, hold down all three Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons
Now "while keeping those button held," simply open Photoshop or a file that opens with Photoshop
As Photoshop loads, you should get a prompt asking if you would like to "delete the Photoshop settings file", Click yes
You should now have a fresh slate with all of the settings returned to their default.
Its strange some keyboard cannot reset photoshop after you press Ctrl + Alt + Shift buttons.
And its no pop up to confirm delete
At finally i found the problems is type of my keyboard not compatible with photoshop
i changed my old keyboard immediately and its works!!
If you have problems with Ctrl + Alt + Shift buttons cannot reset your adobe photoshop cs5 preference , please do change your type of your keyboard to new keyboard

Firefox captures Alt+Shift, but Alt+Shift+" is set as a dead key for my layout.

I do some typing in other languages, so I've set up a custom keyboard layout with all the accented characters.
I've set Alt+Shift+" as the dead key for the diaeresis (e.g., alt+shit+" i gives ï).
They layout works system-wide, and I can use my other dead keys in Firefox, but not that one.
It's not absolutely necessary, but it's pretty annoying.

Some keyboard layouts like the "US International keyboard layout" can use the double quote (") as a dead key to add a diaeresis (I have a compose key on Linux), maybe that works better.

Save for Web & Devices shortcut Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S not working

Hi
I've a really weird issue I'm running PS CS5 on Windows 7 on Dell XPS 1645 for some reason I'm unable to save for web using 'Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S' clicking the menu item works just fine however. This is driving me nuts any help or advice please??

Some other program has porbably hijacked the key combination.
you could first try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Modifier Keys Stop Working (Alt, Shift, Space)

Can't use the space or shift keys in Illustrator CS4. I don't have any Microsoft programmes or Quicken or Entourage or any other Microsoft software on this computer. Have tried restarting computer, this did not fix the problem. Have looked at other posts and tried all the tips, none seem to work.
Has anyone got a definite answer to this problem

G russ,
Just to make sure: did you try to reset the preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup or Move the folder with Illy closed) and the other items in Other options ?

How can I change the language on the editor with "alt + shift"?

Hi,
I created a java JApplet, with a JTextPane inside.
I want the user to be able to change the language using the
combination keys "alt + shift",
but when I'm pressing ALT I'm loosing the focus (to the browser),
so it's not working.
When I'm holding the ALT key, and than pressing the Shift key twice!, It is working.
How can I fix it so it will work with regular "alt + shift"?
Thanks,
Maoz

Alt + Shift shortcut does not work in CDE

Hello,
I have a following problem when I try to use Alt+Shift shortcuts in Eclipse IDE: when I press Alt+Shift+N my Eclipse behave as if Alt+N was pressed (without Shift).
The problem is described in the following bug:https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=120555.
The solution is to remove "grp:alt_shift_toggle" option from xorg.conf. Unfortunately I cannot find xorg.conf in my CDE environment.
Do you have any ideas how this issue could be solved?
Many thanks!
Kuba

If it doesn't work for certain applications then you may go through the followings:
GetAltTabInfo function

Which windows appear in the Alt+Tab list?

Shortcut [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[P] doesnt work with Vista ultimate??!

hello
when i try to create a new position key frame in the time line, i always used the shortcut [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[P]. on other versions before Vista it was working perfectly.
on the Vista ultimate though, instead of creating a key frame, i get the windows "mediaplayer" loading up, every time i use this shortcut.
i looked for this shortcut to change within media player, but couldn't find it.
is there a way to change the shortcut inside after effects?
i am using after effect CS3.
all other shortcuts (like [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[J] or [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[S]) are working fine...
thank you
R Sting

Go to the start/Windows button, click and in the search box type "Windows Media Player." DON'T select the icon (thereby opening the application).
INSTEAD, right click the icon for the media player and choose "Properties." You will see a box for shortcut...just delete the one that's there and it will now show as "None."

I3 Alt+Shift No longer functioning

Hi Guys,
I've just completed a full system upgrade and now my keyboard shortcuts (specifically alt+shift+..) are not working. I am running i3, which is called from .xinitrc. I have bindings like mod1+shift+x which worked perfectly before the upgrade.
One binding (alt+shift+c) changes the font of to some weird language. Has anyone come across this recently? Or can anyone think of a program that captures keyboard input before the WM?
I havn't changed the config files, there is just some new program interfering with the WM.
Cheers guys.
Age

I found the solution.
I had upgraded Xorg, which no longer required 10-evdev.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. I had this configuration file there, which a section with keyboard layouts i.e
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
# Keyboard layouts
Option "XkbLayout" "us, bg"
Option "XkbVariant" ", phonetic"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle, grp_led:scroll, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
After deleting this file, all is right with the world.
For future problems, check Xorg config files as it may be capturing key shortcut before the WM.
