Change tabbing shortcut for controls

Is there a way to change the tabbing shortcut to the Enter key, instead of using the Tab key? And is it possible to set the tabbing order for controls?
Thanks,
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would advise against it as using the Tab key for navigation has been standardized for a long time. But you could use the Key Down? filter event in an event stucture to modify a keys behaviour. Specifically if someone hits the enter key pass 9 to Char and ASCII to VKey. You could also use this to disable the tab key.

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.

Keyboard shortcut for Control+F2, F, Enter

Hello,
I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut that would be available to all Applications deliveres the same result as these keystrokes:
1. Control + F2 (move focus to menu bar)
2. F (moves focus to the File menu bar menu)
3. Enter or down arrow (Displays the File menu)
WHat I am looking to do is create the Windows equivalent of alt+F (displays the contents of the File menu)
I have created a System Preferences Keyboard Shortcut for All Applications that has "File" as the description and ^F has the Shortcut...this doesn't work. Is there a way to assign a shortcut to display the menu bar File menu in its open state?

Here's one approach to try...
1) Open System Preferences > Universal Access and make sure "Enable access for assistive devices" is checked.
2) Highlight and copy the block of code below and paste it into your AppleScript Script Editor (located inside your Applications > AppleScript folder):
*tell application "System Events"*
*keystroke tab using command down*
*set theApp to name of (first process whose frontmost is true)*
*tell process theApp*
*click menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1*
*end tell*
*end tell*
Choose Save As from the Script Editor's File menu, File Format: application, leaving the Options unchecked. Give the script application a name (Display File Menu, e.g.), and press Save.
3) To assign a keyboard shortcut, you might consider downloading and installing the excellent Spark program.
From Spark's File menu, set up a New Hot Key to launch an Application, in this case the application being your newly created AppleScript application. When the new System HotKey sheet drops down, hit the Choose button and navigate to the location where your new AppleScript application was saved. Select it and press Open. Click inside the editable Shortcut field to make it active, and on your keyboard keystroke Option (alt), plus the letter "f." Then press Create.
Start the Spark Daemon by selecting it from the File menu, or by pressing the Stark Spark Daemon button on the Spark panel itself, and then quit Spark altogether. The Spark Daemon and your enabled keyboard shortcut will run as a hidden process, using a minimal amount of RAM.
It worked for me...
Good luck!

Preview How To - change keyboard shortcut for dictionary def.

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

See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4947053?tstart=0
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.

Ctrl-Tab shortcut for Mac?

In GoLive on Windows, you could easily switch between the windows in GoLive by using Ctrl-Tab (aka "Show Next Window in Workspace" or similar in GL9 on Windows). This doesn't work in the OS X version, so what I am wondering is if there is some way to reproduce this behaviour in OS X.
Recently converted to a Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.2, so if there is a built-in keyboard shortcut for this, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Go to System Preferences (in the Apple menu) and choose International. There choose Input Menu. At the bottom of the dialog you find a button called Keyboard Shortcuts. There you will find the most commoon once that are universal for all apps. Cmd+< takes you between open windows in active application (if you have a US keyboard layout).

Change Keyboard Shortcuts for sound volume

I want to change the keyboard shortcut for changing the system sound/audio volume. There isn't an option in the Keyboard Shortcuts system preference pane. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for helping me think through this. My (likely circa 2001) iKey keyboard didn't come with software (at least that I would still use). My initial guess was that I programmed the keys through FastScripts, but quitting that didn't help.
So, I looked back through the archives at MacOSXHints.com and found two options: I hadn't installed KeyRemap4Macbook, but I was still using ControllerMate. I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for helping jog my memory.

Change the shortcut for larger brush size (CS5)

Hello
Does anyone now how to change the standard shortcut ("[" or "]") in Photoshop CS 5 to increase or decrease the size of the brush? The langauage and keyboard setting make it impossible to use it (French Keyboard, Dutch Language, I know it's a bit exotic, but that's the problem)
Thx

Edit – Keyboard Shortcuts – Tools (see screenshot)
Edit: I also use a non-english keyboard, so I think some shortcuts are out of my reach (like »Select next layer down/up« or »Move target layer down/up«) or at least I never could find them in the Keyboard Shortcuts-dialog.

Control Click to Change Tab Order

I know there are new ways to move the field names around to change form fields, but I miss the ability to change tab order by control clicking on the field. I like the new ones, but would like to have the old way also.

You can get the coordinates of the mouse "drop" relative to the scene in the onDragDropped handler with
event.getSceneX() and event.getSceneY().
You can get the location of the top left of a node relative to the scene with
private Point2D getSceneLocation(Node node) {
     if (node.getScene() == null) {
          return new Point2D(0,0);
     double x = 0 ;
     double y = 0 ;
     for (Node n = node ; n != null; n=n.getParent()) {
          Bounds boundsInParent = n.getBoundsInParent();
          x += boundsInParent.getMinX();
          y += boundsInParent.getMinY();
     return new Point2D(x, y);
(and you can get the other corners of the node simply by adding the width and/or height from node.getBoundsInLocal() to the result of that if you need.)
So if you ensure every tab has a graphic, you can iterate through the tabs and do something like
int dropIndex = 0 ;
for (Tab tab : tabPane.getTabs()) {
     Point2D tabLocationInScene = getSceneLocation(tab.getGraphic());
     if (tabLocationInScene.getX() > event.getSceneX()) {
          break ;
     } else {
          dropIndex++ ;
tabPane.getTabs().add(dropIndex, tabToBeAdded);
Ensuring every tab has a graphic probably just means setting the text to an empty string and setting the graphic to a Label containing the text; or I guess you could just use a zero width and height Rectangle, or some such.

Unable to operate tab shortcut keys for safari

I am using Safari 4.0.2.
All is working good except the *Tab shortcuts for safari*.
Problem: Tab shortcuts does not work every time. It works very less time.
*What I did to solve the problems?*
1) Re-Checked the necessary shortcuts in the preferences pane but nothing happened.
2) Re-installed Safari
3) Also did reset to Safari.
I did not understand what has happened to it.
Please help me with it.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
A corrupt preference file may be causing the Command T problem, or perhaps you created a keyboard shortcut for Command/T.
If you didn't alter the keyboard shortcuts, trash the preference file.
Via the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. This resets Safari preferences to default values. Restore any custom settings in either the Preference panel, Edit Menu (spelling), or View Menu. Also, restore any custom icons on the toolbar via the Customize Toolbar option.
Also, the reset adds Apple default bookmarks to your Bookmarks collection (command/option/B keys). Delete any you don't want.

Change Fn-hotkey shortcut for keyboard light?

Hey
Is there any chance to change a shortcut for keyboard light, when using Fn hotkey?
\Edin

Generate a batch-file and let it execute by a hotkey - combination
The batchfile contains the following lines:
cd "\Program Files\Lenovo\Hotkey"
Rundll32.exe virtfn_0.dll,ThinkLight
Calling this .bat - file (maybe with admin-rights) toggles the ThinkLight on and off.
