Can't change keyboard shortcuts

I have the newest macbook pro with 10.9.5 , and I cannot change the keyboard shortcuts. I want to make "show the desktop" F7, when I click it and type the f7 key nothing happens. tks

Thanks Eric,
Not clicking in the window where the insertion point is but just typing worked. If you click in the window where the insertion point is you can't enter anything.
I know of no other place in the Mac OS or any application that they have ever come out with that works this way. It's the little inconsistencies like this that I'm seeing more and more crop up in every new OS release.

Find/Change Keyboard Shortcut

Hello! Pages like this ( http://www.nobledesktop.com/shortcuts/indesigncs5/pc/ ) seem to imply that various functions of the "Find/Change" Dialogue box can be assigned keyboard shortcuts, such as "Replace selected text with Change To text and Find Next" (i.e. "change/find").
However, the only one I can locate on my Mac for CS5.5 is "Find Next" (OPT++F).
Can anybody help me?

I've done that, but all I can find are these:
Type & Tables: Character --- Default: Cmd+T
          Type & Tables: Conditional Text --- [none defined]
          Type & Tables: Cross-References --- [none defined]
          Type & Tables: Glyphs --- Default: Opt+Shift+F11
          Type & Tables: Index --- Default: Shift+F8
          Type & Tables: Paragraph --- Default: Opt+Cmd+T
          Type & Tables: Story --- [none defined]
          Type & Tables: Table --- Default: Shift+F9

How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
Many thanks!
Amadeus

Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

Change keyboard shortcut for "Find"

The default keyboard shortcut for the "find" function is Cmd-Opt-F. As you know, for virtually every other Mac app (if not all Mac apps), the shortcut for "find" is simply Cmd-F. In iTunes, though, Cmd-F turns the visualiser full-screen mode on and off. I never use the visualiser, and decades of Mac use have hard-wired my fingers for Cmd-F to be "find." I know that there is a method in System Preferences by which to change or assign associations between drop-down menu items and keyboard shortcuts, but there is no menu item for "find" so that method seems like a dead end.
Is there a way to replace Cmd-Opt-F with Cmd-F in iTunes?
Help, please!!!

to be quite honest i dont no how exactly to do this,
i just know it can be done. i have had no problem
opening .plist files in vi-make sure you are in root
account for system files.
They (the .plist files) don't seem particularly readable in vi -- they seem to contain a lot of binary content. In earlier versions of OS X they were plain text and easily edited.....
Solaris huh? how powerful
is that? i dont know much about solaris . . . . like
to try it though. recommendations?
It's a more "traditional" Unix, meaning that it's very powerful, fairly bulletproof, very configurable, and pretty obtuse if you're not familiar with it. I like my Mac better!

Change keyboard shortcuts for zoom

Hi
When looking at the keyboard shortcuts for MAC, the 100% zoom is down as command alt '0', yet it is showing in the dropdown list as 'n'?
Is there a way of changing the shortcuts. Previously the 100% zoom was simply command (apple) '0', which is now fit to page.
Can anyone help with how to change the short cuts please?
Cheers
G

There was a change to a bizarre shortcut of Fn+n for 'View > 100%' (equivalent to the previous 'View > Actual Pixels' which had shortcut Cmd+1) when Retina compatibility was introduced a few months ago.

Can't map keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 (Mac)

I am trying to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac to match the mappings I had for CS5.
I used Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch between open documents. When I trry to set this in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog it ignores my input. I tried to modify it in menu.xml (which already had this set, presumably because it copied it from CS5), but it still doesn't appear in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog or work when I press the keys.

I've just done some testing, and can confirm that Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Mac (UK keyboard) allows you to assign Ctrl+Tab to that keyboard shortcut. But it won't accept it on Dreamweaver CS6.
I've no idea why that should be so. It's probably an internal change to something else that has affected it, and nobody noticed during testing because it's not common to change an existing keyboard shortcut to something else.
I suggest that you file a bug report through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. Reports filed through that form go directly to the program team.
I can understand your frustration, but please remember that most of the people answering questions here, including myself, are not Adobe employees.

Can i create Keyboard Shortcuts?

Hi guys,
Does Acrobat has keyboard shortcuts that i could configure or change? When i get a nice designed pdf i like to know each font characteristics and is too slow to go one by one by click, select, right mouse button....Properties everytime. If i could call properties SHIFT+D, for example, life would be easier.
Cheers,
S

This can't be set from within Acrobat.

Can`t find keyboard shortcuts in EN_GB cs5 folder for AI.

normally the keyboard shortcuts save to this folder EN_GB for CS5 AI.. as a file named KBSC KYS file.
I cant locate it now either in the cs5 or cs4 directory which used to have the same...
any ideas where its gone?

I think I found it, its no longer titled KBSC but the icon reads "prefs" and grey text "adobe premiere keys" for some reason..
there are the "illustrator defaults", and my custom shortcuts titled "marks",
I dont know why the icon title has changed though, for CS4, perhaps this happened when I installed the upgrade for CS5, can`t think of any other reason.
as its the same in the CS5 en_GB folder.
When I pasted the CS4 "marks" into the CS5 en_GB folder, they worked as my shortcuts in Ai CS5...

How to change keyboard shortcuts

Hi everyone
can anyone help me to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Indesign CS4. When I create a new set in Edit Menu Keybord shortcuts and try to change Cmd+H to hide frame edges instead of hide indesign its not happening. can anyone tell me what is correct way to change the shortcut.
Thanks
Azeem

What's the default for hide edges on Mac? It's Ctrl + H which would in most circumstances lead me to think that it would be Cmd + H on Mac, but I think you are running into a problem with the OS using that key combo and intercepting the keystrokes.
Edit: that should have been Ctrl + H on Windows.

Wireless keyboard + Safari + Changing Keyboards shortcuts = ARRRGH

So I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the shortcuts on the keyboard for Safari, specifically I would like to change the "Command-R" function which reloads the page to "F5". I have gone throught the whole keyboard shortcuts tab in system prefs (System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts) and added the safari menu command and my shortcut I wanted to add yada yada yada and nothing ever works no matter how many times I try or what I change. I am not sure whether or not the fact that I am the Apple Wireless keyboard has anything to do with this but I doubt it does. Any ideas?

Got it THanks!

Can't change the shortcut to switch between windows (^F4) to altTAB

Hi,
I would like to switch between windows (not applications) by hitting ALT and TAB (same as Windows) instead of ^F4. In the preferences, I tried to change the shortcut labelled something like "Move focus to the active (or next) window". Unfortunately, it always complains that this shortcut is already used by another operation. However I can't find which operation uses ALT+TAB ?!
How should I do ?
Thanks in advance,
Barth

Interesting. I can't use the TAB key in ANY custom shortcuts. it gives an error sound (but no message) when i try. I tried it on 3 different computers. I suggest you try a different shortcut like alt+`. It's very close to alt+tab.
However I can't find which operation uses ALT+TAB ?!

No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.
