Assigning Shortcut key to "Zoom" no longer works in Finder

I always assign a shortcut to the Window | Zoom menu option. It still works great in apps like Safari etc. But in Finder, it highlights the last item in Finder instead of applying ZOOM like it should.
I am updated to the latest 10.6.2, still no cigar.

Hi madh69 & welcome to the forums
What is the short cut, exactly....

  • Keys 5-9 no longer work after water damage. Do I need a new logic board?

    I had the smallest amount of water on my fingers when I typed something on my keyboard and now keys 5-9 no longer work. Will I need a whole new logic board for this? I've been into two Apple stores and both say I need to book an appointment online. I've been online and tried to book in at three different Apole stores within my area and I just get 'there are no slots available' how am I supposed to get this fixed if I can't book a session to see some!?! Sort it out Apply, it's why your products cost so bl**dy much isn't it!?

    thanks, but I really don't think its the logic board since I can still plug in head phones and i can hear movies, etc.
    also when i don't have my magicJack plugged in to make calls they now give you a magictalk dial pad to make calls and when i plug in the headphones again i can talk through the speakers and be heard and I can hear them too. Is there something I can used to maybe pull out the connection. I think it thinks the headphones are plugged  in all the time.

  • IMovie: is there a shortcut key to zoom timeline in and out?

    iMovie: is there a shortcut key to zoom timeline in and out? I'm on imovie 11 version 9.0.4
    posted: Tuesday October 30, 2012

    The normal way to zoom in and out would be to use the thumbnail slider. I am not aware of any keyboard shortcut for this.
    Here is a list of the keyboard shortcuts for iMovie.

    Interestingly, in Final Cut Pro, there is a keyboard shortcut for zooming the timeline. For example, Shift-Z will scale the project to fit the timeline, and command+ and command- will zoom.

    Open the General tab of the Safari preferences and correct the home page; the default page is this one. If it has become set to a folder on an FTP server or a local drive, that request will be sent to the Finder. (28252)

  • Shortcut keys for the Start/End work area?

    Hey guys,
    Does anyone know if any shortcut keys exist for setting the Start and End points for the work area (i.e. grey bar with orange endpoints above timeline)?  On a large timeline, I usually have to zoom all the way out, find it and then drag it to where I'm currently editing so I can render a small work area. If I could save some time by using shortcut keys, that'd be great!

  • Dead keys in keyboard no longer working

    I use "us-acentos"  keymap and since 2014-09-24 upgrade the dead keys are no longer working: typing apostrophe  followed by "e" should print "é" but instead it just prints the apostrophe.
    This under X both in bash and in a graphical editor such as leafpad, geany, netbeans. In a non-X session the dead keys do not work either, an apostrophe followed by "e"  will just display a space.
    Would anyone have any suggestion as to why this happened and how to correct it? Thank you.

    Follow-up:
    1) I could restore the keyboard in X with this command:
    $ localectl set-x11-keymap us pc104 alt-intl
    which creates /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "system-keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
    Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
    EndSection
    another option that worked was to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf.pacsave to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf, which also contained the "XkbLayout" and "XkbVariant" lines under "InputClass" (the original file had been renamed to .pacsave in February 2013). See wiki:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg
    The output from localectl status now reads:
    System Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: us-acentos
    X11 Layout: us
    X11 Model: pc105
    X11 Variant: intl
    X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
    So it seems that the result of an earlier upgrade was to "unset" the keyboard for X (compare with output from localectl status in original post). Why?
    2) the keyboard in console (out of X) is still not working. If I try to set it to "us-alt-intl" in /etc/vconsole.conf, it works as "us" should (no dead keys); it I use "us-acentos" some keys do not work. locale-ctl shows that "us-acentos" does exist (but not "us-alt-intl").
    Mystery.

  • Zoom no longer works with Cintiq touch ring in Flash CC

    When working in Flash, I always use the touch ring on my cintiq to zoom in and out, it's second nature. This funstion worked perfectly fine in Flash CS6 but does not work at all in CC. Having to always use hot keys and tapping on the screen to zoom in and out is entirely too cumbersome and has slowed down my productivity. Is this recent lack in functionality yet another glaring ommision to come from Flash CC? Is there a way to once again use the touch ring on my Cintiq to zoom in/out, or like so many others, do I have to revert back to CS6?
    Cintiq 24HD
    Macbook Pro Retina
    OSX 10.8.4

    I'm not sure, but is that what you are asking to see? The touch ring is a circular indentation on both the left and right side of the Cintiq 24HD. It can be set to do various convenient tasks such as zooming in/out, chaning the brush size or rotating the canvas just by moving your finger around the touch ring. In Flash CC, almost none of these functions work. In fact, the only function that does seem to work is "scroll", which is the only one that I find the least useful in my workflow. In flash CS6, zoom in/out worked, as did scroll, but brush size toggling or rotating the canvas didn't. If you can get zoom in/out to work again like in CS6 would be great, getting all those other funtions to work would be even better still!

  • After upgrading to IOS 6 the "Double-tap three finger" option to ZOOM no longer works

    Hello to evryone,
    since installing IOS 6 the zoom feature no longer works.
    yes i have it togled on  "on" and yes i already have tried with a full iPhone restore but to no avail.
    given my bad eyesight and the fact that many apps and web pages don't alllow you the classic two finger pinch, this option is extremely useful to me....anyone out there with a suggestion?
    thanks so much
    nw
    Managed to find a way to make it work. i put it in airplane mode than togled ZOOM on and... it now works even after airplane mode was deactivated

    Pjennings-
    One thing you did not mention, is that the photo must have an eight character name plus the .jpg suffix.  Try shooting a photo in your camera, and seeing if the iPad will recognize it.
    If it still does not work, this would be worth reporting to Apple at <iPad Feedback>.

  • Certain Keys on Keyboard No Longer Work

    Hello,
    As of a few minutes ago, my standard wired Mac Keyboard appears to be malfunctioning. The Tab and Caps Lock keys no longer work, and certain combinations of keys, such as alt-apple-esc, to bring up the force quit menu is no longer working either. I tried unplugging the keyboard and reconnecting it, I restarted, and I'm still having the same problem - it came out of nowhere.
    Are peripherals like the keyboard and mouse covered under my Applecare warranty?
    Thanks,
    Lonny

    Your keyboard and mouse should be covered, but before you give up on the keyboard, get hold of some compressed air and clean it. You can also turn the keyboard over and give it a sharp smack to see if anything is lodged under those keys.
    Let us know how you make out,
    Miriam

  • Shortcut key Ctrl+L does not work. How to fix it?

    In my Photoshop Elements 9 and Photoshop Elements 11, The shortcut key Ctrl+L for Level does not work. I press it, the Level does not show up. How may I fix it?

    1. Make sure that your image is in RGB mode. Go to Image Menu>Mode>RGB.
    2. Check that no two layers are selected in the layers panel.
    Even then the shortcut does not work , then it that case you can always use the workaround "Enhance Menu>Adjust Lightening>Levels.

  • Camera shortcut on lock screen no longer works

    Hello everyone,
    Shortly after I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1, the camera shortcut on my home screen stopped working. The camera icon appears even if I single click the home button, but whether I single click or double click the home button, touching the camera icon simply makes the screen bounce in rejection.
    I have removed the passcode on my phone only to get the same effect.
    Anyone know what gives?

    Wow, everyone's out to play today!
    I'll get back to work then

  • PINCH no longer works in FINDER with Magic Trackpad when resizing icons such as photos. Help.

    I am a photographer and I find it VERY convenient to be able to use my Trackpad to PINCH resize icons of photos for quick review. This no longer works in LION. This needs to be restored or can someone tell me how to restore the setting. Thanks
    - Shane

    Not the same symptoms, but I noticed that after a few days of running great, odd things started happening on my iMac. The first thing was that when I would boot the Mac up for the first time in the morning, it would boot into single user mode. I have the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, so I know there's no way keys are being held down.
    The other symptom was that Microsoft Outlook 2011 would hang on launch. It would get stuck on the "Setting Up Identities..." phase. Rebuilding the Outlook database would help until the next time I shut the iMac down.
    Also a couple of times it got to the Desktop after a boot, but not everything was working correctly and some startup items didn't load.
    The iMac also kept booting into single user mode on the first boot.
    I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, and I thought that fixed both problems, until the next morning. Now I just don't shut the Mac down. I can close Outlook, and it launches in a couple of seconds.
    So it would appear that something is becoming corrupt when OS X is shut down. If I don't shut it down, it's fine.

  • Notify no longer working with find friends app!

    On find friends app the notify button no longer works and myself and everyone I'm trying to set the notify button has the latest update "6.1.2". Any one else having the same problem?

    I didn't realize until I went to a class to lecture in front of a couple hundred students that what worked on Friday no longer worked on Monday.  (I upgraded to iOS 5 over the weekend.)  My iPad with lecture slides was plugged in 25 feet away.  I finally recruited a student to tap the iPad screen when I needed the next slide.  A nightmare.  What is usually slick and seamless was a wreck. 
    Here's my deal.  My remote app works fine at home where my iPod Touch and iPad are on the same wifi network.  At school they're on different networks for some reason.  Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere.  So Apple needs to find this bug and fix it.  I can't believe whoever is responsible for this didn't test this out before they released iOS 5.  Sheesh. 

  • My arrow keys and backspace no longer works in Sql Developer

    In the work sheet of Sql Developer it is not allowing me to use my arrow keys or backspace key, I can use these keys in the result section but not in the worksheet section. When I use the arrow key it scrolls the page but the cursor stays in the same spot. My scroll lock is not on as these functions work everywhere else. I have looked at short cut keys to see if I hit smoething but not finding anything. Any ideas?

    This is a known problem practically impossible to reproduce reliably.
    It was not reported on the latest releases of SQLDeveloper, so if you are on an old release you might consider switching to the latest one.
    The workaround for the problem in older version requires you to load preset values for the shortcut in
    Tools -> Preferences -> Accelerators -> Load PresetMind this will erase all your user defined shortcut keys

  • Scroll wheel zoom no longer works with Lasso in CS5

    I've been scouring the forums and found that this issue was raised almost a year ago, but it seems it still hasn't been dealt with. How can this be? Why would an "upgrade" remove funcionality that existed in previous versions of the software? Have since upgraded to CS5.5 and still no solution. Has anyone found a way to restore this functionality?

    Seriously, no one has anything on this? I know I'm not the only person who misses this. How is it there is still no solution here? Was the functionality actively removed because people complained that it worked too well? Is the plan to re introduce it in CS6, and call it new? I went from CS3 to CS5.5 and the only difference i've noticed is this step backwards. Oh and the rediculously useless default tab setting. Maybe I'll just re-install CS3? Is that my only option?
