Are there Keyboard shortcuts for Mail? How to quickly move items?

I just came from Entourage, which I was happy to leave. However I have a ton of folders where I organize my emails after I read them in my inbox. I really miss the "Move" button in the Entourage toolbar, which allowed me to start typing the name of folder I wanted to move an email to.
With Mail I have to go and find the destination folder, which is sometimes 5 levels deeps. Yikes! It does seem quicker to do it in the Message menu, but still it's clumsy.
Any tips? Any keystrokes? New to Mail and loving it!
Jon

You can bypass the Message menu and Control-click on a message or group of messages, then select the Move To item from the contextual menu and select the folder from there.

Are there keyboard shortcuts for navigating Fireworks Layers?

In Photoshop, 'option-[' or 'option-]' allow you to select up and down layers from the keyboard, are there equivalent shortcuts in Fireworks?

By default, I don't think there are any shortcuts for this. However, John Dunning created a series of custom Frame and Layer commands, including Go Up and Go Down*. These are free, and once they've been installed, you can assign keyboard shortcuts to them (under Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts...).
http://johndunning.com/fireworks/about/FrameLayerUtils
You might also like to know that FW has a Select Behind tool (it's underneath the Pointer tool). I personally don't use it, but it allows you to click on an object on the canvas, and progressively select the items beneath that object.
*A caveat regarding the scripts: The "Go Up" and "Go Down" commands don't seem to be working on my older version of Fireworks (FW8). Also, I forgot that Photoshop and Fireworks use different terminology. What's called a "layer" in Photoshop is called an "object" in FW, and what's called a "group" in Photoshop is called a "layer" in FW. Therefore, John's layer commands may or may not allow you to move up or down the objects within the layers, but they should allow you to move up or down the layers themselves (a.k.a. folders).

Are there keyboard shortcuts for switching to desktops with fullscreen apps?

Coming from SL, one functionality that I used a lot was keyboard shortcuts to go to different applications.
For instance, I had assigned Mail to Space 2, iTunes to Space 3 etc.
Then it was possible to instantly go to Mail by pressing alt-2, to iTunes with alt-3 etc.
In Lion, it is possible to assign Applications to desktops, and use the same commands to go to these desktops. However, as soon as an application is 'fullscreened' it leaves its previous desktop, and cannot be reached with the old keyboard shortcuts.
My question:
is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut to switch to a desktop containing a fullscreen app?

This is quite possible. The way to do it is with keyboard shortcuts. If you check the appropriate boxes you can use a keyboard combination of Control and the Desktop #. It makes it very easy to swtich between desktops.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Mail won't stick

Hi. I've created a keyboard shortcut for Mail--Command-K to Get All New Mail--and changed the conflicting command (Command-K normally will Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts). It worked well when I set it up, but only once. As soon as I quit out, my Keyboard Shortcut for Get All New Mail disappeared. Meanwhile, my new keyboard shortcut for Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts still works.
And there's more: if I reset the "Command-K to Get All New Mail" shortcut, it will work only until I quit. And that's the case with no matter what shortcut I set up for "Get All New Mail." What gives? Any suggestions?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a reply to this, since this discussion board is one of the best around. Is there a more appropriate board in this forum for me to you post this?
Thx!

Are there keyboard shortcuts to turn stopmboxes on/off?

Are there keyboard shortcuts to turn stopmboxes on/off?

To continue and clarify this thread: I've had no problem pairing my iPhone and my headset, and no problem using the headset for calls when I'm anticipating that I'll want to use bluetooth and have it turned on. But, unlike many I've seen lately, I don't think of my bluetooth headset as a fashion accessory, and as others have noted, having it on all the time drains the battery much more quickly than turning on bluetooth only when you need it.
I've been looking for a shortcut such that, when my bluetooth is turned off and I find myself taking a call for which I'd like to be using bluetooth, I could easily and quickly turn bluetooth on and handle the call on my headset. My handling of such situations now is clumsy and cumbersome; I put my call on hold and back out to settings to turn bluetooth on, then the headset, then back to my call, which I switch over. So, nobody has a more elegant solution? I'm not just the naive user who hasn't yet figured out the trick?

Are there any shortcuts for creating Value Object Classes?

Hi,
I'm using a Remote Object to connect to my server
(pyAMF/Django). I'm getting stuck with the creation of Value Object
Classes. It doesn't seem very DRY to have a class on my server
representing the data model and then have to recreate that class
and all its properties in my Flex app.
Are there any shortcuts for creating client side VOs from
server side data?
I was thinking about declaring an empty VO class in Flex, and
then dynamically assigning/casting my Proxy object to that class.
It seems like that approach may cause problems for the Flex
compiler though.
Any hints?
Thanks!

One thing that has helped me in that area is a free tool from
Farata Systems called
DTO2Fx. If you're using Java and Eclipse, it's a great time saver.
You simply install a (very lightweight) Eclipse plugin, add a
single annotation to your Java VO classes, and it automatically
generates your Flex VOs. It even creates a base and extended
version of each VO on the AS3 side so you can add code to the
extended VO without fear of having your changes overwritten when it
regenerates your Flex VOs.

gives instructions and a download link. I had it up and running in
my application in less than 30 minutes!

Keyboard Shortcuts for Mail Message

I switched to Mail from MozillaThunderbird. In Thunderbird, one can move through OPEN mail messages via Keyboard Shortcut; a simple "F" for next message or "B" for previous message. In Mail, the only thing I've figured out is that one can arrow through one's LIST of messages, then use "Return" to open only the selected e-mail. From there, I must return to the list again (Cmmd+W)to open the next or previous message. This seems cumbersome an un-Maclike. Is there any way, from an already open message, to move to the next or previous message via Keyboard Shortcut? thanks

No. Mail lacks this functionality. The closer you can get is to have the preview pane visible below the message list and move from one message to another using the arrow keys.

My screen is crack, are there keyboard shortcuts to use S-Video

Good afternoon all,
I am a novice with Macs. Unfortunately, due to my own carelessness, my display is destroyed. I don't have the ability to see more than the top left corner of the screen.
I have the S-Video - VGA adapter cord. However, I don't have the ability to change the settings on my computer b/c I can't see the screen. Is there a shortcut or keyboard process that could guide me through changing those settings?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi, proto, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You will need the use of a second computer monitor, at least temporarily, and a USB keyboard and mouse. The following procedure may work using a TV set connected via S-Video, but I'm not certain of that, so I suggest using a real monitor instead, at least to verify the that Powerbook is still capable of operating in display-closed mode when wired to a conventional monitor.
Follow the instructions in this article to operate the computer in display-closed mode.
If it works, give the same procedure a try using your TV set and connecting it via S-Video. If that isn't successful, I suspect it's because of the S-Video connection, and you'll probably have to use a regular computer monitor instead.

What are the keyboard shortcut for aligning objects?

Hello guys,
I know this is a simple question. However, I cannot find a quick answer. I see people using Actions - is this the only way?
Thanks!

It's not the only way. But it's the only way using keyboard shortcuts.
Pretty mediocre, indeed.

Are there keyboard covers for Arabic?

Is it possible to get a keyboard cover for the Macbook Pro which will change the English keyboard to an Arabic keyboard?
If so, where can I get it (in Australia or online)?

Have you already done a google search for "arabic keyboard covers macbook pro"?

Why are the keyboard shortcuts for new window and new tab (N) and (W) instead of (W) and (T) when I right-click on bookmarks in my toolbar?

If I right click on a link in a page, the context menu allows me to open a new tab if I hit t on my keyboard and a new window if I hit w. In the bookmarks menu, these shortcuts change to w and n respectively. Hitting t results in deletion of the bookmark. Can this be changed so it is consistent with the in-page context menu?

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Where are the Keyboard Shortcuts for Acrobat X?

In Acrobat 9 I could delete a page by keying Alt - D - X. I could insert pages by keying Alt - D- N - F. Can I not do this kind of thing in Acrobat X?
George Sullivan

Dave, thanks for the answer. It is quite helpful. I just wonder why Adobe chose to change the menu in such a way that negates all previous habits that have been built. Acrobat, to me, is primarily a "paper" manager. And to the extent that is complicated it makes my work more difficult.
Check out my other problem post with Acrobat X. It is titled "Default Page Size Not Retained". This one is causing a lot of inconvenience also.

Keyboard shortcut for selecting clips

I'd like to program a button or buttons on my control surface to select clips in the timeline. Are there keyboard shortcuts for selecting clips? (it's not "x")

Thanks RedTruck.
The problem with x is that it seems to mark every clip, but I think you may be on to something. Is there a keyboard command for selecting the target track? I could possibly add that command to the macro to make this work....trying to get to mouse-free editing.

HT1518 Are there a keyboard shortcuts for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the cmd ⌘ symbol ?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the command symbol ⌘? I need this a lot to take notes from tutorials etc. I know I can copy them from other text or access the special character menu, but I would love to have a easier shortcut.

You can try making one for yourself via system preferences/keyboard/text/symbol and text substitution
