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.

  • 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 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 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.

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

  • Keyboard shortcut for creating new Desktop

    Switching from primarily using keyboard shortcut navigation on a PC, I've realized that the OS X is missing a keyboard shortcut for creating a new Desktop or Space. You need to use the mouse to do this, either by clicking the Add Desktop icon in the upper right corner of Mission Control, dragging and dropping an open window to the Add Desktop icon, or entering full screen mode. Though it is possible to toggle full screen mode using a keyboard shortcut under Systems Preferences, not all applications can enable full screen.
    Does anyone have a possible solution to this problem?

    Hi- There is no longer a dedicated key on your keyboard to do that. However, follow these steps to make one...
    Click on System Preferences, Keyboard, and then choose Keyboard Shortcuts tab. In the lefthand column, select Expose & Spaces On the right, you will see that Expose has several shortcut key options. Make sure that the checkbox for Desktop is filled in, and double click it, and press the keyboard key you would like to activate it. If I may suggest, F5 or F6 are good choices.
    That is it! You are good to go.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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).
