Cap5 not allowing spacebar as keyboard shortcut

I'm updating a software simulation e-Learning to Captivate 5 (previously it was in Cap3). In several places, I've used click boxes that respond to the spacebar in order to move to the next slide. (In the actual software, the spacebar is used to toggle field repsonses from YES to NO). In Cap3 and Cap4, I was able to select the spacebar as the keyboard shortcut for click boxes and buttons. Captivate 5 is not allowing me to do this.
Here's is what I'm doing:
With the click box selected, I'm trying to set the shortcut in the Actions section of the Properties panel. It will not "record" the spacebar keystroke in the Shortcut field. This doesn't work with a button either.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions or solutions?

I'm having the exact same problem. I converted a project from CP3 where we successfully used the spacebar as a click box shortcut. Now the spacebar doesn't appear to be an option. Sorry, I haven't found a solution either. I'm planning on reporting it as a bug.

Windows support files - bootcamp, drivers are not working [no sound, keyboard shortcuts]

Hi guys,
I'm using the following version of Bootcamp Version 5.0.3 (464) on MBP mid 2010, wit latest OS on it. I ave installed Windows 7 through multiple errors and had to clean the whole HD after backing the files. The Windows is running fine now, however I think I havent dowloaded Windows Support Files (second tickbox) in the bootcamp assistant when installing Windows (I only ticked the third box).
And now I have tried to download the drviers from bootcamp on USB after formating it correctly, but the USB shows its empty.
I tried the following steps:
I went back into my Mac and opened up Bootcamp, reinstalled all the Windows Support Files (the top box of Bootcamp) and made sure to put them onto an external device i.e. USB/External Hard Drive etc...
I then logged back onto my partioned Windows on my Mac and updated all the Windows Support Files. After that I restarted my computer back into Windows and popped in Guild Wars 2...
But nothing seems to be working. I went to Windows Update smth, and looked for updates found quite a few of them and isntalled all of them, but noting is working - sound and keyboard shortcuts are gone and I cant downloaed the software I want.
Could you please advice on what to do with those drivers. I have been trying for days...

Hi JFFulcrum, thanks for your suggestion. I updated the BIOS earlier and still am getting the same results. Also, I decided to try another old soundcard I had laying around today, a SB PCI 512. And....same result i'm getting with the Audigy. Windows detects both cards, says they're working, but there's no sound. I'm beginning to think I should just RMA the board
if you could find anymore information about those DMA issues, please do post! I have e-mailed gigabyte 3 days ago and they still haven't gotten back to me, so i'm not really sure where to go from here, if it's some setting in the bios, some sort of driver, a bad pci slot or what. ..

How to disable shortcut keys not listed in the keyboard shortcuts system

Hi all
As a Graphic Designer I find the shortcut Shift+F12 amazingly irritating when using QuarkXpress, as this is the key command for editing the colours list. For those of you who don't know this shortcut works exactly the same as F12 (Hide/Show dashboard but in slow motion.
You may be supprised that I find this of somewhat limited usefulness.
Can anybody help?
Ta

Hi supertottenham
The Shift key is slo-mo for several functions so I doubt if it can be disabled.
However if Dashboard is not one of your priorities there is an app called TinkerTool which enables alterations to several of the built in apps including Dashboard which it stops appearing completely including Shift+F12
It is a freeware download from http://www.bresink.de/
Hope this is of some use

Mac will not let me change keyboard shortcuts .

After updating to os x 10.5.5, my MacBook would not let me change shortcuts to anything. Also, every time I hold down control, I get expose. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My MIDI device stops playing notes and starts triggering keyboard shortcuts

Hello everybody.
I have a problem,
My M-audio keystation 61e
stops playing notes after a while.
Like it has a about 1 or 2 octaves and
then any higher or lower you go, they start becoming shorcuts.
ex. Undo, paste, splice...
can anybody help me?

Open the key commands window, turn off MIDI remote. Check you haven't assigned MIDI notes to key commands. Open the controller assignments window, and again check you haven't got weird assignments.
If in doubt, trash both your Logic preference files and see if it goes away.

Double Click on Keyboard shortcut does not work

I want to change a keyboard shortcut. I have a Norwegian keyboard and the key combination for change active window in an application (multiple mail messages or Word documents) is not available. The Keyboard shortcut is set to ' - on my keyboard the ' character is <. The key combination < does not work unless I change layouts to a US keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts says that a double click on the shortcut will allow me to change the combination. This does not happen. I get an error bing instead. Any ideas of what is going on and how to change a shortcut in Leopard. I think this worked in Tiger. I have tried a hardwired as well as my bluetooth keyboard.

Solved this one - you have to click on the key combination itself and not in the text area that describes the key combination.

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)
When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a Service (such as a Service Workflow created in Automator) using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, if that shortcut key combination includes the Command key, pressing that shortcut will always successfully activate the Service. No problem there.
However, shortcut key combinations that do not include the Command key (for example, the shortcut key combo Ctrl-Shift-D) WILL NOT activate the Service in any newly opened application, until you click on the Services Menu option in that application.
As soon as you click on the application's Services Menu, this seems to bind the shortcut key combo to the Service, and thereafter, that keyboard shortcut will activate the Service in that particular app. But if you then quit and reopen the app, you'll find the Service will once again lose its binding to the shortcut key combination and will thus fail to work again.
This means that shortcut key combinations such as Ctrl-D, Ctrl-Shift-D, F15, Alt-F15, etc are not really viable shortcuts for Services, because they will not work in any newly-opened application until you click on the Services Menu in that application.
This bug thus greatly limits the shortcuts that you can employ for Services, because you can only reliably use shortcut key combos that contain the Command key. This is a fault that Apple really needs to fix. This is a very old glitch: I notice it is present in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, as well as Yosemite 10.10.1.
This bug does not apply to application shortcuts, however, or to other shortcuts in the Shortcuts Preference Pane, just to Services shortcuts (including the Mac's default Services, or any Services you make yourself using Workflows on the Automator software).
To give some examples:
The following keyboard shortcuts for Services WILL NOT work until you click on the Services Menu in the application you are using (and they will cease working again when you quit and reopen the app):
Ctrl-X
Ctrl-Shift-X
Ctrl-Alt-X
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-X
Alt-X
Alt-Shift-X
F1, F2, F3, etc
So until Apple fixes this bug, the above type of key combinations, that do not contain the Command key, are best avoided as shortcuts for Services. It is particularly unfortunate that function keys F1 to F19 do not work reliably, as these would make great single-key shortcuts to Services.
However, the following sort of keyboard shortcuts for Services, all containing the Command key, once set up will always work without fail:
Command-Alt-X
Command-Ctrl-X
Command-Shift-X
Command-Ctrl-Shift-X
Command-Alt-Ctrl-Shift-X
Command-F1, Command-F2, Command-F3, etc
So all the above can be reliably used as shortcuts to Services.
Here X denotes keyboard keys such as A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, =, \, [, etc.
Note that even for keyboard shortcuts containing the Command key, you may very occasionally need to click the Services Menu to get them to work initially in an application (notably in the System Preferences application itself). But if this is necessary, it is just required once when they are first set up, and thereafter the shortcuts containing the Command key will always work without fail.
The above was tested on Yosemite 10.10.1, but most likely applies to other versions of OS X as well, as I believe this bug is an old one. This bug is definitely present in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, because I have observed this same fault in an old Mac I have that runs Snow Leopard.
I have reported this bug to Apple, so hopefully they will see my report and act upon it. However, it might be an idea if others also report this problem of Services shortcuts not working property, to ensure that Apple get the message. You can report a bug to Apple via their bug feedback page here.

Exactly where do you want to use a GO BACK "shortcut" in Bridge? Maybe I don't even understand what you mean by Go Back. Bridge is only a file browser, nothing more. It doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save files at all.
Are you simply referring to going back to view a folder that you viewed before?
Please don't take this a criticism. As someone who will gladly pay money not to have to learn any shortcuts at all, I'm just puzzled and curious, that's all.

Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
System Configuration:
Flash CC
Mac OSX 10.8.5

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

Keyboard shortcuts problem issue after updating to 6.0.5

Directly after installing this update, Command+SpaceBar on the Mac no longer temporarily selects the zoom tool? Not sure what others keyboard shortcuts might be broken, but this is a very standard one. I have a book due on Monday!!! Any help would be appreciated? Thanks!
Not sure if related, but my computer started lagging and freezing directly after installing this update, and continues to the next day, even after repairing permissions, trashing prefernces, trashing SavedData cache, etc.

That totally fixed the shortcut issue!! Fixed in InDesign and Illustrator. Will keep you posted on the computer lagging and freezing issue. Our IT guy thinks it may have something to do the Adobe Updater itself. But we'll see.... thanks so much!

How can I set up a keyboard shortcut for 'Remove Tween' in Flash Pro CC 2014?

I'm trying to set this up, as I have in previous versions of Flash, but the 'Remove Tween' command (among other commands) is not available in the Keyboard Shortcut window.
Is there some other way to add this shortcut?
Thanks,
George

I don't think this had a keyboard shortcut even before (checked in CS6). There's an alternative though.
1. Create a JSFL file with following code and save it in the commands folder as 'Remove Tween'.
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setFrameProperty('tweenType', 'none');
2. Now goto Edit Menu > Keyboard Shortcuts..
3. Search for 'Remove Tween' and assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
Now everytime you press the assigned key - jsfl script is executed which essentially removes the tween from selected frame. (works for Classic and Shape tween but not Motion Tweens)

Is there a way to share IOS keyboard shortcuts between devices?

Is there a way to share IOS keyboard shortcuts between devices? Although I use Text Expander on Lion and it is great, I think it would be very useful if Apple allowed syncing of keyboard shortcuts between the Mac and IOS devices via iCloud. It would be great to set these up on the Mac and have them available on both my iPad and iPhone.

Now built directly into the iOS:

Mail Keyboard Shortcut for Add Hyperlink...

I added Control Option H as a new shortcut for Add Hyperlink in the Mail pull down menu
It showed up in the Keyboard Shortcuts list and also shows correctly in the pull down menu after I quit and re-opened Mail; however when I try the shortcut, nothing happens.
Could it be that I have to take into account pulling down the Edit menu first, to get to the Add Hyperlink command?
And it only works after I create a New Message.
How do I do all this?
Thanks....David

I'm not sure why this keyboard shortcut isn't recognized. In the meantime, you might try a different one.
+These examples worked for me:+
Option + Control + Up Arrow (⌥⌃↑)
Using a function key, F1, F2, F3, etc.
Using a function key with a modifier, e.g., Option + F2 (⌥F2).
Good luck!

[Keyboard Shortcuts] Editing the indk.-file

Hi.
I'm working in a newspaper and we have upgraded our advertisement software. With this software a plugin is installed to InDesign to save and export.
On the last version you had the possibility to assign a keyboard shortcut in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts to the feature AdPoint > Save and Export PDF.
In the new version the menu is stil present and being used to "Save and Export" every advert produced. However, the menu does not appear in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Ive been trying to edit the .indk-file, but with no luck.
I copied the .indk-file from when the last version that was used. It didnt work, but this is the part in the .indk-file:
<shortcut>
     <action-id value="0xe9600 + 5" name="KBSCE Other:0xe9600kAPP_ExportPDF_MenuItemKey"></action-id>
     <context>DefaultContext</context>
     <string>Shift+Ctrl+E</string>
</shortcut>
Anyone know how to make this work?
Version: InDesign CS5
OS: Windows 7

The best way to add a +1 would be for everyone to file a feature request. Those are officially tracked by Adobe (unlike this user-to-user forum) and the more people that ask for something, the more likely it is to be implemented.

What are the main keyboard shortcuts?

jip,what are you think?

Here is the list. Memorize them -- there will be quiz early next week
OS X keyboard shortcuts
One of the best things about Mac OS X is that it is very approachable for the casual user and is consistent across Applications.
A casual user does not need to know keyboard Shortcuts, but can look in Menus to find all the options and choose the one that seems best. Once you are close to becoming an expert, or find the mouse is slowing you down, committing a few of these to memory and using the keyboard can speed up your work substantially.

CS3/CS4 - Plugin deletes user-defined keyboard shortcuts?

Hi,
I have users complaining that my plugin deletes their keyboard shortcuts. My plugin does not mess with any keyboard shortcuts, so how can this happen?
Hope somebody can shed some light on this problem
Kind regards Toke

Is this an installation issue or does it happen later on? When *any* plugin is installed, InDesign rebuilds several caches from resources. That includes actions, menus and consequently also shortcuts. We had that recently with action/menu filters being asked only on first run.
Anyway, the plugin readme should tell the user to save their precious shortcuts into a set before installation ...
