Cannot create keyboard shortcuts

Preview has lost its ability to 'Fit to Screen' & 'Close' with the keyboard in Slideshow. When trying to add via Systems Preferences, the ability to type the name is there but only get the 'bonk' sound & flash when keyboard keys are hit in trying to set shortcut.

The solution is to into Keyboard Shortcuts, then, to go into Services. Add the shortcut under the application there. It will, then, appear under Application Shortcuts. +{It appears to act very slowly compared to the mouse activated button, but that may be temporary.}+

  • Can you create keyboard shortcuts to open applications?

    Hi everyone,
    I have been trying to create some keyboard shortcuts to open individual applications but they haven't been working. For example, to open up iTunes, I assigned Command+i. But I'm starting to think this isn't possible in OS X. Is this true? Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    Dustin

    The Apple Help for Keyboard Shortcuts in "System Preferences" (the Question Mark "?" down at the bottom) says the following: "Note: You can create keyboard shortcuts only for existing menu commands. You cannot define keyboard shortcuts for general purpose tasks such as opening an application or switching between applications."
    I use a program called "Quicksilver" from blacktree.com . It is not easy to get used to, but it is quite powerful. To open a program (once Quicksilver is installed properly), you can either set a keyboard shortcut such as "Control-i" (or whatever you want), or use their universal opener "Control-space" and type the first letter or two of the application you want to open and then hit or type open.
    My favorite feature of Quicksilver so far is the ability to recover easily any number of previous copies to your clipboard. How many times have I copied something and then before pasting it copied something else by mistake and lost the first thing I copied?!? Quicksilver lets me hit "Control-space" and then open a clipboard history window and scroll down to whatever I want to paste (I have it set for 100 items, pretty excessive, I know!). Cheers!

  • How to create Keyboard Shortcuts to Activate Buttons without the Mouse?

    Is there a way to create keyboard shortcuts in HTMLDB like CTRL+N to activate the Create New button, CTRL+S to Save the record, etc?
    Thanks.

    I haven't tried this myself, but you could always add an attribute to the control called accesskey. Use this link for further information: http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol4/accessibility_no19.htm
    If the control is a button you will need to make sure that it is an html button so that you can modify the attributes.

  • Create keyboard shortcuts for different mailboxes?

    How can I create keyboard shortcuts to "Get Mail" from individual email accounts? (ie NOT all accounts at once). I'm sure I did it in the Panther version of Mail – by using the Keyboards Sys Pref – but I can't seem to get it to work this time...
    Thanks!

    System Preferences->Keyboard; Keyboard Shortcuts is the place to go to add shortcuts to any application.
    Select Application Shortcuts and add yours there.

  • Cannot get Keyboard Shortcuts or create new

    After updating to iOS 7.0.6 my iPhone 5S lost all keyboard shortcuts.
    I am currently not able to get them from iCloud or even create new ones. After saving a new one it does not appear under the shortcuts and is not working with the keyboard.
    I have tried suggestions on the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3991 as well as resetting iCloud and restarting the phone multiple times.
    Any suggestions would be welcome at this point.
    Thank you.

    Ok, good news, here is a solution that works!!
    This I have tested individually (to confim) with my 2 iphones and the iPad that wouldn't sync properly keyboard shortcuts via iCloud. You can do the below for all your device at once, too.
    Go here and follow the instructions (easy):  http://allezxandre.clarify-it.com/d/dhvzkz
    if you backup and restore via the above method, none of your settings/apps will be deleted, everything stays intact
    After restoring, turn off "Documents and Data" under your iCloud settings and hard reset devices (home + lock)
    Then log into icloud.com, go to Account Settings, Advanced, click on Reset Documents and Data
    Turn on "Documents and Data" in your iCloud Settings (device) and again reboot
    Check "Documents and Data" setting, status may have changed (on/off)
    You may have to repeat 4. and 5. - I had to with one of the iPhone as the status would have a mind of it's own, but eventually the keyboard shortcuts will be back. On all devices.
    The above takes roughly an hour with all the backups, restores etc. BUT it's non intrusive, ie. your device data and settings aren't touched!

  • Creating keyboard shortcuts in Acrobat 9.0 Pro

    Is it possible to create own keyboard shortcuts in Acrobat 9.0 Pro?
    I have searched for this option, but without success.
    The problem is that almost all Adobe programs use "ctrl+ plus sign" to zoom in and "ctrl+ minus sign" to zoom out, just like the Acrobat used to do as well.
    Not anymore. Now Zoom in "Ctrl+equal sign" and Zoom out "Ctrl+hyphen". I could use these new ones if they only would work. With these new shortcuts I can zoom in, but the zoom out does not work (I donät use EN keyboard layout).
    I want the old shortcuts back. I would really like to see that the Acrobat zooms in and out just like "all" the other Adobe programs do.
    Is there a way to create my own keyboard shortcut?

    I would like to create my own shortcuts also (especially for extract pages).  Someone please advise us on whether this is possible!

  • Can't seem to create keyboard shortcuts

    I have just purchased a Mac mini and am brand new to Apple so I presume I am running 10.6.2 but if more info is required you may need to direct me a little. My old PC died and I was sold the Mac mini as a drop-in replacement that could use my new screen / keyboard.
    I am unable to work out how to create a keyboard shortcut e.g., to associate the 'Home' key with 'Go to beginning of line.' I can get into System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard & Text Input OK. Clicking on the plus sign (Add an application shortcut) beneath the lists brings down the sub-panel with Application | Menu Title | Keyboard Shortcut OK.
    The problem is that I can only enter keys from the numeric keypad and arrow key cluster in the Keyboard Shortcut field, but nothing from the main section of the keyboard or the Ins / Del / Home / End / PgUp / PgDn cluster. Not letters, or numbers, or any other keystrokes that I can tell. I just get the system bell.
    It is a new Logitech keyboard which I set to US International layout as I work with accented character sets. Any assistance appreciated.

    You wouldn't be able to define that specific shortcut anyway. Try using Control-B (Off the top of my head; this page has a full list of them) to move to the beginning of a textfield / line.

    and that :
    It doesn't have one from the beginning.
    It's really not a problem.
    I don't like to change existing shortcuts but adding new ones is really not a problem.
    Read carefully the System's Help page dedicated to this subject .

  • How: create keyboard shortcuts in Lion-Safari and Preview

    I've been trying to create a keyboard shortcut for Preview (and perhaps it would work in Safari) so that when I click command and arrow up, the cursor will jump to the top of the document. For example, I'm reading on page 450 of a pdf file and want to go back to the top I'd have to grab the tiny, tiny doodah on the right side of the page and drag it all the way up. In Windows (I do have two Macs and two Windows PCs) you click on control-up arrow and it happens. I tried to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Lion and it does let me do it, but it doesn't work.
    I click on System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, Application Shortcuts. It gives me a choice to add a shortcut by clicking on the plus sign, then I I select Preview and it gives me the choice to write the Menu Title (this is probably the problem) and I write gototop (go to the top of document) and then on Keyboard Shortcut I press command and the up arrow. But it doesn't work. Where do I find the Menu Titles for all programs?
    Thank you.
    Roxy

    Glad it helped.
    There is a page on the Apple site that has all the keyboard shortcuts grouped by function/application.
    Don;t have the URL in front of me now but if you poke around you should find it. There are a lot of nice features in there (like these) and is worth looking at.

  • Clone meeting planner when creating - keyboard shortcut?

    I create numerous monthly meetings that take place at different times (so recurring meeting doesn't work).  I would swear I had found a shortcut to clone the meeting with details included (attendees/subject/location) with two short keystrokes and
    then all I had to do was change the date and time (a huge time saver) but I CANNOT find the shortcut now.  (I am using Outlook 2010).
    Can you identify the shortcut?

    Ctrl+SHIFT+Y (Copy an item). Select Calendar and OK, move it to another place and simplely modify the date/time to upload.
    Thanks.

  • Create keyboard shortcuts

    I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut to advance through safari tabs, just like I advance through programs using command tab. I went to system preferences, keyboard shortcuts. The + is no longer there to add shortcuts. Is there a different way to add keyboard shortcuts in mountain lion?

    If you have a trackpad or Magic Mouse, consider getting BetterTouchTool, which will give you the ability to create a ton of gestures, such as next tab in safari.
    BetterTouchTool will also allow you to create hotkey keyboard shortcuts.

  • Any plugin to create keyboard shortcuts?

    Is there a plug-in that will let you create new keyboard shortcuts?
    For example, I'd like a keyboard shortcut to quickly open the bookmarks pane. (Ctrl+B opens the bookmark pane, but it also creates a new bookmark at the same time, which I don't appreciate.) 

    Test Screen Name wrote:
    Actually, no. I don't think the original poster is a programmer wanting to create a plug-in. I think he or she wants to buy one. Sorry never heard of one.
    Test Screen Name is correct. I'm not a programmer. I'm looking to buy a plug-in if there is one.
