Alt Shift resets visible toolbars

In Windows, switching keyboard layouts is often assigned to
Alt-Shift.
In Dreamweaver, Alt-Shift resets the toolbar set to
'Document' and 'coding', which apparently is the default.
If you have any other toolbar open, for example 'Standard'
(which has Save and Save All icons), it disappears.
Is there a way to modify the default set or is there a
keyboard shortcut to make it reappear?

In Vista, there are three options: Ctrl+Shift,
Left-Alt+Shift, Grave Accent.

Yes, I agree that it's a bug. I later spent some time
experimenting with
the issue, and I reported the bug to Adobe. Unfortunately, I
doubt if a
fix will be available before the next release of Dreamweaver
(and
there's no guarantee that it will be fixed even then).

Thank you for pointing out my shortcomings. Perhaps I can
remind you
that this is a user-to-user forum. People like myself who
offer
assistance here do so on an entirely voluntary basis. You
raised a
problem. I pointed you in the direction of possible
solutions.
Unfortunately, neither proposed solution produced the desired
result.
If I had offered the proposed solutions in one of my books
without first
testing them, your criticisms would be fully justified. In
this
particular case, I think you are being unreasonable.

  • 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

  • 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.

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
    To help others help you, please read through this article and provide any additional relevant details.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Firefox version: 3.6.8 Operating system: Windows XP - back and forward buttons disappers. REsetting customize toolbar to default doen't solve the problem

    I've Firefox version: 3.6.8 , OS: Windows XP - The back and forward buttons disappears. Resetting customize toolbar to default doesn't solve the problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Firefox was updated to ver 3.6.8

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • 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....

  • Battery pull vs. "alt + shift + del"

    Wondering if y'all could settle a (friendly) argument.
    I have an End User who is insisting that hitting the "alt + shift + del" on
    a BB (Tour) accomplishes the same feat as pulling the battery.
    My side is that the aforementioned keystroke is more a soft reset, and
    doesn't accomplish the same affect as a battery pull, which is more a
    hard reset.
    Curious as to whom might be correct.

  • Difference between shift+alt+smth and alt+shift+smth

    To type a big polish (latin2) letter one must press:
    shift + alt + one_letter
    or
    alt + shift + one_letter
    It always made no difference but today I discovered that only
    alt + shift + one_letter
    works ok an I can type: ŁŁĄĄÓÓĘĘ
    when pressing:
    shift + alt + one_letter
    It shows nothing or just a big letter.

    It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
    If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

  • 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.

  • On Safari browser I have no visible toolbar, how do I get it back?

    On opening the Safari browser I do not have a visible toolbar, just three icons, read, iCloud, link and the split address bar and search bar. How do I get.a full toolbar visible in the browser display?

    That is all that there is on Safari on the iPad, it doesn't have the same options as on Safari on a desktop. In addition to those icons there are a few settings in Settings > Safari
