Arrow key Photoshop default increment question

Is the normal arrow key default increment in Photoshop (not shift+arrow, just arrow) the same length (in pixels or inches) on all standard keyboards?  In other words, would the Photoshop arrow key default increment change from keyboard to keyboard?

would the Photoshop arrow key default increment change from keyboard to keyboard?
It' shouldn't. As J Maloney said, however, setting the typamatic rate very high (which some typists/ secretaries do when they do their daily finger gymnastics) might have an influence as may anything that could make the keys stick or lag behind - cooky crumbs, hair, coffee stains.

  • Left arrow key -- probably a stupid question.

    In some applications my left arrow key doesn't work. I've noticed it most in Word for mac, but I know it has happened elsewere, too. And in safari the left arrow key tabs often functions like tab. I'm new to Mac (and just getting used to fn + delete to delete forward). Is this another key combination thing I'm missing? I've discovered using Word that fn + <-- is "home," and that works just fine.
    Thanks!

    I have this exact same problem. Has anyone found a fix. I called Apple Care and they said it was not a hardware problem, as this left arrow key problem only happens in Word. They also could not find a fix to the problem and, of course, referred me to Microsoft. I had already spoken with Microsoft and they, of course, referred me to Apple. I am desperately trying to a fix, as I use Word to write upwards of 100 page reports and not being able to use the left arrow key is a nightmare.
    Please someone help.

  • Using the arrow keys to move objects in photoshop issue

    When I move objects around in Photoshop using the arrow keys something odd to me happens.  When I press the left arrow key it seems to move 2 pixels then when I press the right arrow key it seems like it moves 1 pixel.  I noticed this when I had 3 objects.  One was centered and I wanted to move both the other objects 20 pixels away.  One looked twice as far away.  I looked closer and I found out that was the problem.  This also happens when using the up and down arrow keys.  Is that supposed to happen and is there a way to fix it? Thanks

  • Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Please help!

    Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Only one pic shows up in the album view - I can't see any thumbnails. To see the other pics I have to use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. Please help!

    Depeding on your version of iPhoto: On the left (iPhoto 11) or right (earlier versions) of the lower frame of the iPhoto Window you'll see a slider. Drag it left.

  • Frame 7 question - arrow keys / mouse scroll wheel don't work

    I have FrameMaker version 7.0p579.
    I've not used FrameMaker for quite a while, but I know my arrow keys used to move graphic elements, but they don't now.  Perhaps it's because I now use USB mouse and keyboard?
    One other question -- was the upgrade from version 7.0 to 7.1 (or 7.n) a free upgrade?  If so, where can I get it?

    Hallo Framers,
    I have tried both FreeWheel and KatMouse for a few days.
    * Both work with Windows 7 (beta version which I happen to have at home) and XP; I have no access to Vista but I expect it is also OK.
    * KatMouse interferes with Firefox's "middle-click to open link in a new tab". However this can easily be disabled (Settings>WheelButton>NoneOfTheButtons)
    * Some graphic programs (CorelDraw for example) use the wheel for zooming; both interfere with this. However a single-click on the KatMouse icon disables/enables it.
    * FreeWheel is hard to find and it's not clear whether it's supported any more; KatMouse seems to be current.
    On balance I recommend (and myself use) KatMouse.

  • Moving anchor point with arrow keys crashes Photoshop CC

    Hey guys,
    I've recently run into this bug many times while working with shapes. Don't really know what initiates it but it's super annoying as it crashes the PS CC completely without possiblity of recovering the unsaved files.
    The bug appears while working with shapes after file is saved and reopened. Because I use to design pixel-perfect UIs, I work with arrow keys a lot to be sure every pixel is in the right place. So after selecting one or more anchor points of shape and hitting any arrow key (to move it by pixel), photoshop immediately crashes with this super-long description of bug: http://justpaste.it/ccshapecrash
    Dunno why but this occurs very often when handling 1px-thin rectangles.
    Is it only me or has anybody else experienced this as well? Any idea what exactly is causing it or what might be wrong with my config?
    Never seen that kind of error in Photoshop before. It completely destroys my everyday workflow

    I have exactly the same problem and I don't have any solution. I was tried to update the latest video drivers - nothing! Tried to update Photoshop which updates fixes bugs - nothing! The problem continues.
    My OS is Windows 8 64bit, video card Nvidia GT 630. For the case, my Photoshop 32x works better (faster) than the 64x. Why is that ? I hope to have a solution.

  • Photoshop CS6 Type tool kills arrow keys

    When using the standard type tool, periodically, the keyboard arrow keys will not work. You can manually change your selection point, but not by using the left of right arrow.

    i need to test and see if up and down work.
    but these folks seem to have the same issue:

  • Satellite - randomly the arrow keys, question mark key and z key will not work

    Sometime the arrow keys, question mark and z key work fine (like now) and sometimes they just don't work at all (like a minute ago).  I will just be typing and they will work and then just stop working, then work again.  They either all work or all do not work. This has been happening since about a week after I got the computer.  It is so annoying.  Can you please help me fix this problem?  I have a Satellite T135-S1309.
    Many thanks.

    Hi, 
    I've posted recently about keyboard problem, and have tried everything as everybody else, finally and oddly :-) the solution for my problem was to reconnect little flat cable that connects keyboard and MB :-D shown in step 10 on the following link:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-X205/take-apart-laptop-2.htm
    ..so maybe your keyboard somehow strangely detached itself from mother-board just a bit and started creating all sorts of strange problems as mine... one cable line was without contact because flat cable was not attached properly anymore and mentioned keys stop working... I have also downloaded keyboard tester software that helped me find all keys and combination of keys that stop working ... so guys, try that and good luck!    

  • Photoshop CC for PC - ctrl-alt-arrow key Does Nothing

    I installed Photoshop CC on a new PC, and the ctrl-alt-arrow keystroke does nothing. It used to shrink the marquee around pixels and move the selection by 1 pixel. Now it does nothing. Using shift-ctrl-alt-arrow shrinks the marquee around pixels and moves the selection by 10 pixels, which is what it's supposed to do. Any help is appreciated.

    I'm re-reading your posts, and I'm guessing you started having this problem when you installed on the new PC.
    What I'm thinking is that unchecking the hotkeys is not enough, the hotkey utility may be still be "trapping" the ctrl-alt-arrow keystroke.
    I decided to check this for myself.  First I open the task manager in Windows 7. and saw a process called "igfxHK.exe"  I ended that process and started Photoshop and then tried ctrl-alt-arrow and to my surprise, that does work.  igfxHK = Intel Graphics HotKey.
    Now the next trick is to block it from loading in the first place. I guess you could try to move or rename it. I don't want to ask you to adjust entries in the Registry yet. I have to go in a few minutes.
    From this article: Ctrl+Alt+Arrow key no longer working — Photoshop for Windows — ClearPS.com
    "The good news is that (as far as I can tell) hkcmd doesn't appear to be necessary as my graphics drivers are still functioning fine after I've removed it (I went into regedit, searched for hkcmd and deleted all entries). From searching online I see that hkcmd is known to conflict with other apps, so it seems that it's likely the cause rather than PhotoShop. Why PhotoShop and hkcmd suddenly started to cause conflicts after months of proper functioning, I don't know."   hkcmd is like igfxHK.

  • Excel Question - Arrow Keys

    So I just installed Microsoft Excel and something is going on with my arrows keys. I have a keyboard with the numeric pad and when I use the 4 directional arrow keys it shifts the window browser over and doesn't move the selected cel. So for example if i'm on cel A1 and want to go to B1 I used to just hit the down arrow and it would go to B1. Now it stays on A1 but shifts the page down a bit. Any idea how to fix this? It's driving me nuts. Thanks.

    Hello
    I'm using Office 2004. I don't know what version your using, but I can't find options to change that normal function. Your probably using a later version than me.
    Go to your preferences and see if there are any modifiers. Also, check under tools in the menu and you should see a customize menu to customize your keyboard.

  • Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Working

    I have had the HP Pavilion g6t-1b00 CTO Notebook PC for a year or two now. I've been having a couple of problems with internet connectivity and putting my computer on "sleep".
    However, few days ago, my keyboard randomly started acting weirdly. When I would try to type certain letter/numbers, they would come out differently. 
    Ex. pressing the space bar would show up " ./M" instead
    I tried restarting my computer many times and installed a BiOS update which fixed all of my issues except for my up and down arrow keys. As of now, they have no function; I can't scroll with them and they don't seem to be taking on the role of another key. I have tried using the keys on different programs. Using the touch pad to scroll works but I still can't use the up and down keys.
    Is there anyway to get the up and down arrow keys to work again?
    This question was solved.

    Hello Larasoft,
    I understand you’re up and down arrow keys are not functioning, is that accurate? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.
    I want you to access the setup menu to test the keys out, see instructions below.
    1.       Shut down the computer.
    2.       Locate the F10 key across the top.
    3.       When you turn the computer back on immediately start tapping the F10 key repeatedly.
    4.       If successful you should be on setup utility screen. What’s different about this is you can only use you arrow keys to navigate.  
    5.       Try working the arrow keys  up and down on different menus and see if they work.
    6.       Once you tested it press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.
    If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.  I really appreciate it.
    Please respond at your earliest convenience with you results.

  • Artifacts when moving object with arrow keys.

    Hi all
    hope this is the right place to post this question.
    I want to to write simple arkanoid game in Flash (AC3). I've managed to write code that  moves my paddle with arrow keys. The code looks like this:
    function OnNewFrame(event:Event):void
        if (input.IsLeftHeld)
            if (paddle.x > 0)
                paddle.x -= 10;
        else
        if (input.IsRightHeld)
            if (paddle.x < stage.stageWidth - paddle.width)
                paddle.x += 10;
    It works but the result is ugly. The animation is not fluent, there are times when paddle stops for a moment . Also when speed of translation is high (here it is 10) you can see that paddle is flickering at the ends, it looks like single buffering problem. You can see both of those effects here:  http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/movOb.html , hovewer flickering is less visible due to small translation amount.
    How to fix this? How can i enable double buffering (or maybe it is enabled by default)?  Any help will be appreciated.
    P.S. sorry for bad english

    Thanks for samples, this is very kind ; p
    Hovewer you are doing everything almost exactly as I'am doing. Tou are using mySymbol.x++ which means your translation speed is 1. Also I'am aware that rising frame rate will result in smoother animations, but this is not the point. So once again, my flash applications suffer from two problems:
    1) Animations are not smooth. You can see this crealrly in here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.htm  , go back to the very bottom of the page, there is an animation window, look at the smallest circle. It looks like its blinking. 
    2) Moving symbols with arrow keys with the method i've presnted in the first post (the same method that infeter uses ). Moved symbol is randomly stopping for the very (very very) short amount of time. You can easily spot this in infeter sample.
    Many sample applications i've seen suffer from those issues. and nobody seems to see the problem, so maybe I am delusional? ; p
    cheers and thank for help

  • Arrow key not functioning

    My arrow keys are not functioning when I tried to use them to move my objects. They work fine in InDesign and Photoshop, but not responding at all in Illustrator. Anyone knows why?
    Thanks!

    Always mention the version of Illustrator & the OS you are using.
    Check if by any chance the 'Keyboard Increment' in Preferences (Ctrl/Cmd-K) is set to 0.

  • Alt-arrow key to copy in CS2?

    It's been a while since I've been able to use Illustrator, and now I have gone from Illustrator 10 to CS2.  One feature I used to use all the time was to make copies of paths or objects by clicking alt and an arrow key at the same time.
    From what I'm finding in online searching, that *should* work in CS2, but for some reason it's not.
    I'm trying to alt-arrow on a grid, snapping to grid and right now I'm just working with a very basic straight line.
    I've tried turning off snap to grid, tried adjusting the size of the default keyboard "nudge" increment, checked the keyboard, searched the keyboard shortcuts, and even tried returning the keyboard shortcuts to default.
    Was this feature removed in CS2, or is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks!

    Agrred, that's not a feasible alternative. It is strange, though. I'd definitely have a look at the keyboard shortcurt prefs and just to be on teh safe side reset them. As a workaround, have you considered creating a pattern and then using that?
