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.

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.

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 ?

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:

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."

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?
I am trying this. Take an object, move it some inches on the right while holding the option key, so I duplicate it.
Usually, I pressed on command+d to duplicate this action on and on (duplicate the object and moving it some inches away), but now it is not working.
any idea?

kwakoo,
It may be time for the list:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

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.

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.
I'm taliking here about Xorg and KDE, in tty it works OK.

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...

Why doesn't my alt key work?

In my Photoshop CC, the alt key only duplicates the layer; I can’t use the clone tool or the healing brush. Does anyone know what is going on here?

Or Diane might be trying to use the Spot Healing brush and Clone tools on empty layers without Sample all layers checked. Or working outside an active selection. I expect there are conditions that would cause such behaviour.
Diane, if you are convinced everything is set right, and there is no user error (we all do user error now and again) then you might need to reset the tool from the Preset panel or Options bar. Or if that doesn't help, it might be time to reset Preferences (hold down Shift Ctrl Alt - Shift Cmd Opt while starting Photoshop.)

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.

CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Please advise

CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Been fine until now. No recent updates on computer, other Creative Suite software all work fine too.
I have the Student package installation so I am unable to uninstall then re-install as one off set up. Or is it possible to get the re-installation on a student package, and if so will I have to re-install everything?
have been using Dreamweaver only two months ago and now it is will not open. I do not get anything on the screen, no egg-timer or anything. Tried to look up online to solve problem, but no joy.
Please advise....

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences. Note: your work space, custom settings & 3rd party extensions will be wiped out by this. So make backups of anything you need to keep.

If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
