"Always use pressure for size" - assign keyboard shortcut?

Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to the "always use pressure for size" toggle on/off button that sits in the brush toolbar?
It would speed up masking with a wacom quite a bit where you want to use shift-clicking to draw straight lines between points (where you really need the pen pressure controling brush size turned off) and then back to masking around detail areas where you need the pressure turned back on. I seem to recall Julieanne Kost saying this was possible at some point back when CS5 was launched, but I've never found it and can't find it in CS6 either.

Hi Brett, thanks for the reply.
Yeah, that would be amazing if it could be added to the big list you guys must have for JDI requests... I'll add it to the feedback.photoshop.com feature requests list as well.
Cheers!

Assign keyboard shortcut to applescript

I have setup custom keyboard shortcuts before (Finder > Secure Empty Trash) but I can't seem to get a shortcut setup for an applescript in the applescript menu. The appropriate shortcut is displayed in the menu but when I press the shortcut the script isn't invoked. Has anyone been able to get this setup for an applescript? Any ideas on what could be wrong?

You get a copy of FastScripts from Red Sweater software. (last I checked, App store doesn't carry it)
It'll let you assign keyboard shortcuts to scripts or Apps through i's Preferences Menu item,
There are other Apps, such as Quicksilver, that'll allow similar assignments.
Apple's own 'Script Menu' does not allow them.
FastScripts is what I use. It's cheap, or free, and gets the job done.

Assigning keyboard shortcuts to actions not working

I have two actions that I use quite often. I assigned keyboard shortcuts to them in the actions dropdown menu. However whenever I press the shortcut keys, nothing ever happens. I have tried changing the modifier key combinations......nada. If some has any suggestions, I sure would appreciate them.
Thanks

Most F keybaord shortcuts are assigned to something already in Illustrator or by your OS, so you may have a conflict.
System preferences >> keyboard >> (CHECK) Use all F1, F2 ...

Assign keyboard shortcut to open applications?

Can I assign keyboards shortcuts (like ctrlshift0 or applealt1) to run applications?
Thanks in advance.

you need a 3rd party application launcher for that. Google Quicksilver, Butler, iKeys or Quickeys.

Need to assign keyboard shortcuts to open applications!

How can I assign keyboard shortcuts to open applications such as mail, safari, iphoto, fcp, shake and etc...
Thanks in advance,

It's a bit confusing, but you cannot assign a keyboard short-cut to launch an app. That window is for assigning a keyboard shortcut to an EXISTING menu command in the app you selected, if that menu command does not have a keyboard shortcut already.
So if you select System Preference as the app, and enter Menu Title of "About System Preferences" and enter Opt-Cmd-A as the shortcut, once you close and reopen System Preferences, Opt-Cmd-A will open the About System Preferences window, which is an existing command under the File menu that previously did not have a keyboard shortcut.
You may be able to do what you want with a macro program like Quickeys.

Assigning keyboard shortcuts to imported files?

Is there a way to assign keyboard shortcuts to audio files imported into the Waveform editor? (the files that appear in the "Files" frame)
Because I notice this is possible with, say, workspaces, and was hoping I could assign certain shortcuts to imported file 1, imported file 2, imported file 3 etc.

There is no way to do this currently -- no one knows if it it will be in the next release, but judging from comments here is it a much-requested feature.

Assign keyboard shortcuts for special characters.

I am using Microsoft Word 08 and taking a Latin course. I want to be able to make a keyboard shortcut to insert the long symbols over vowel: Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū ā ē ī ō ū. When I go to Insert then Symbol none of these show up on the pallet. As of now I have to copy and paste every vowel individually from the save file in which it is currently written.

I've already checked out that list, but it doesn't include the ones I'm looking for.
Go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for US Extended, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder." Then select US Extended in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder.
The characters you need can then be made by typing Option/alt + a, followed by the base character. Some fonts may work better than others.
Here is a list:

Ctrl+= "make font size larger" keyboard shortcut is not working, maybe related to Windows 7?

I changed recently from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit, and since then the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+= to make "font size larger" is not working anymore. Ctrl+- to make "font size smaller" is working like always. I tried this with LV8.5 and LV2011 and the missing functionality is on both LV-versions. So I wonder if this is related to Windows 7... Or am I missing something?
Any ideas?
I tried to switch keyboard input language without success. Then searched for menu shortcuts in the LV options, where Ctrl+= is not listed as it is only a keyboard shortcut and not in the menu. I wonder also why the whole font setting is so nestled in LV, why not just having a toolbar...
Looking forward for any help.

It works for me. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm running LabVIEW 8.2, so I can't test this on other versions. Are you sure you don't have some extension installed that's using that keyboard shortcut?

Suggestion for a New Keyboard Shortcut

I'd like to suggest a way of increasing the efficiency of editing captions and other metadata in Aperture by adding a keyboard shortcut that always serves to move to the next image in the viewer. For example, Command-Shift-] (or something) to move to the next image in the library. Right now, I think only arrows move to the next image, but that doesn't work if you are editing in a text box, so you have to use the mouse or trackpad.

Fix for System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts crash

This is not a question, but a solution to a problem that proved difficult to identify and fix for me and three Apple Support personnel, so I thought I should post it here in case others encounter the same issue. I spent a lot of time searching the web and Apple Discussions for this and related issues did not come up with any solutions.
After migrating from Snow Leopard on 2009 MacBook Pro to Yosemite on a new MBP using the Migration Assistant, things went surprisingly smoothly for the most part, until I opened the Keyboard pane of System Preferences. Then, clicking on the Shortcuts tab immediately caused System Preferences to crash, reproducibly.
Crash Reporter pointed loosely to a keyboard-related preference setting. But "com.apple.preference.keyboard" is the name of an OS process, not a .plist file. I searched the web to try to find out where Keyboard Shortcut settings are stored in Yosemite, and also for a possible way to reset the settings to default in Terminal (e.g. using the "defaults" routine), without success. (Apple Support was not happy that I had Terminal open when they shared my screen, and seemed never to have heard of this routine).
Process: System Preferences [948]
Application Specific Information:
objc_msgSend() selector name: retain
com.apple.preference.keyboard v.14.0 (Keyboard)
objc[948]: GC: forcing GC OFF because OBJC_DISABLE_GC is set
Repairing disk permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, zapping the PRAM, and trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences, some keyboard-related .plist files, and the system prefs and International prefs caches did not fix the problem. With Apple Support, we isolated the problem to my user account, as the same crash did not occur in a test account, or in another account migrated at the same time. Nevertheless, Apple's techs had me removing various menu items and programs also running in these accounts that I had deactivated (Sophos AntiVirus, Little Snitch, etc), and downloading and reinstalling Yosemite, which seemed unlikely to address the cause, given that my main user account was the only one affected.
Apple never had me check 3rd party preference panes (which I should have thought to do earlier myself). Opening and closing an older version of Default App ((RCDefaultApp 2.0.1), a free 3rd party utility, in the Preferences pane, transiently solved the problem. However, it recurred on removing it, and was not fixed by installing the latest release of this preference pane, nor did removing three other 3rd party preferences panes (MacFUSE, a Citrix app, and Flash Player).
Finally I went back to ~/Library/Preferences and looked for any files that had been modified around the time the problem transiently disappeared, and stumbled upon com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist. After viewing its contents with Property List Editor and finding this article, I thought that this file was likely the problem.
I logged into my root account, verified that Shortcuts worked fine there, and that this file changed with a change in Shortcut settings, and (after renaming the offender to save it as a backup), replaced the file in my main user account with a copy of the one from the root account.
I repaired permissions in the offending account, rebooted, and voilà - problem solved!
NB If you are in a similar situation, before trying this fix (at your own risk!), I strongly advise backing up your computer first, and saving a copy of the presumed offending file in case you have to put it back because of unforeseen consequences. You do not need to enable and use the root account; instead you could log in to a new administrator account, or another user account, verify that Shortcuts works fine there (it would not be a bad idea to set up any user-defined App Shortcuts you want there); and copy the file to a shared folder.
Then switch back into the offending account, go to your user Library/Preferences folder (~/Library/Preferences using Go To Folder in Finder), and replace com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist in that account with the one from the shared folder. You should then repair disk permissions afterwards and restart.
If it works, Shortcuts should open fine. Be sure to check each category in the left-hand panel of the Shortcuts panel (e.g. LaunchPad & Dock, Mission Control, etc.) for conflicts, and resolve those by disabling the offending duplicate key combination assignments (I had two, marked by yellow triangle alerts).

Thanks, V.K., for your comments.

not for me. it's both displayed and treated differently. I suspect what you are seeing is a byproduct of using a haxie such as Menu Master.
no it's not. it's treated differently.
In Leopard, Menu Master let me assign Command+Enter to Address Book > Edit Card. When I attempt the same using Keyboard Shortcuts, both Command+Return and Command+Enter are displayed as Command plus a "return arrow." After that, in Address Book, both Command+Return and Command+Enter invoke the "Edit Card" menu action.
not for me.
if you want to use those keys in the shortcuts use one of the many 3rd party app launchers. any one of them will let you do this: Qucisilver, Butler, Spark, Launchbar, ikeys, quickeys etc.
I've been using QuicKeys since the beginning of time, and I have some experience with Butler and LaunchBar. They're useful for what they do. But, as far as I know, none add keyboard shortcuts that are displayed directly in the menus. That display feature is what makes Menu Master and Systems Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts so attractive.
that's because Menu Master is a haxie. none of the other programs mentioned are. you want such functionality you are going have to use a haxie. personally - i stay away from them as they destabilize the system.
When I'm considering new shortcuts, I use KeyCue to display all current shortcuts in a single display. KeyCue now displays QuicKeys shortcuts in the same display, which is a big help.

Script works in Word 2008 but can't assign keyboard shortcut

Since I must have emacs keystrokes on those fortunately rare occasions when I have to use Word 2008, and because there is no explicit "delete character" command in Word (since there's already a built in keystroke for it, presumably) I've written a simple script that activates the delete key:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
key code 117
end tell
I have put this in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items so that it shows up in the script menu in Word. If I select the script from the menu via the mouse, it works just fine and deletes the character to the right of the cursor. However, if I try to assign a Word-specific keyboard shortcut (the usual emacs keystroke Ctrl-d, of course) using the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane to this macro it simply doesn't work. "^D" shows up next to the name of the script in the Word script menu, so the shortcut appears to be registering, and the little script menubar icon even flashes blue when I hit Ctrl-d, but nothing happens; the script just does not seem to run.
Any help appreciated. I really need to have this keystroke to be able to use Word and remain reasonably happy about it.

Follow up: My Word-specific shortcut seems to work the *first time* I use it after bringing up a document. Thereafter it fails. Thanks.

Mighty Mouse: assign keyboard shortcuts

Is it possible to assign specific keyboard shortcuts to mighty mouse buttons? For example, I would like to click the scroll ball and have it send command-H (to hide the frontmost application), and I would like to click the left/right buttons at the same time to send command-W (to close the frontmost window).
I have a third party mouse set up to do this (using the third party control panel) on my macbook, but I just got an imac and it doesn't seem that the mighty mouse can do this...
thanks for your help

You can assign keystrokes to buttons with software, such as SteerMouse
<http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/index.html>
but the Mighty Mouse does not support left and right simultaneously. It has a single switch, and uses a proximity sensors to determine if it's a left or right click.

Assigning Keyboard Shortcuts to Styles

In the previous version of Pages one could assign a keyboard shortcut to a style. I can't find this feature in the new version relesed today. Is it missing or hidden?

Honestly, I'm livid.
I paid for Pages and iWork because, in my opinion, it was the best word processor on the market. It was lightweight, versitile, customizable, and fast.
Version 5.0, however, looks more refined, but is slow, clunky, and difficult. Beyond the missing keyboard shortcuts:
Why does it take 3 clicks to change the paragraph style?
Why does it take two clicks, mousing down on a flatly-designed hover menu to come to an arrow, that you need to click, and then carefully mousing further to the right, followed by a click, to enforce the paragraph style while the Update button, in bright blue, is seldom used.
You can't edit the text in a hyperlink without clicking on it first. I can't believe this design desicion. Even the webform I'm tying in right now allows me to edit the text in a hyperlink without an overlay.
That the filenames are the same has made backwards compatability impractical if you work on a team.
This is shameful and lazy. Google Docs, an online-only editor, has better keyboard shortcuts, useability, and cross-format compatibility. I preferred Pages '09 over any iteration of Google Docs, but now I find myself inclined to open up a web browser before opening up Pages 5.0—even on slow Internet connections.
Apple: please, please fix this. Or, update Pages '09 to be forward-compatible. Or hire me so I can do it myself. Yes, it bothers me that much.

Assign Keyboard Shortcut to Various Align Functions

What's the process of creating a keyboard shortcut to the various align functions?
In prev vers AI allowed me to assign shortcuts to each of the below.

i don't remember previous versions allowing for this. what version was that?
you currently can't assign shortcuts to those directly. my workaround was to save actions for each one and assign shortcuts to the actions (you can only assign function keys via the actions menu). it's not ideal but that's what i use.
you can also replicate the same functions with scripts and assign shortcuts to those scripts via fastscripts or sparks or other similar program. sparks is free.
hope that helps.
