Clear Appearance Keyboard shortcut

Perhaps I'm missing it but it would sure be nice to have a Keyboard Shortcut option for Clear Appearance since in my work I constantly use it. There should also be a *clear* explanation about how this and graphic styles relate to layers and objects (together or separately). All that I can find is some nebulous reference to partially selected' for such work. Why not tell us your thinking. I have had to spend days and days of wasted time trying to figure out just how it works and finally know more than I did, but your Help files need to reflect 'this is our methodology in styles and clear appearance. Thanks.

Jim,
In recent days you have requested several new keyboard shortcuts you want to see added to AI. When you make such suggestions, I would suggest that you suggest
which keys you would like to see used.
Fact is, if you do a little experimentation, you'll find that in AI, there are precious few practical keyboard shortcuts not already used up.
Endlessly adding keyboard shortcuts is not the solution to the confused mess that Illustrator's interface has evolved into. It's a poorly designed interface, having continuously had new features piled-upon, rather than cleanly integrated. Illustrator has lost all trace of interface elegance.

Keyboard shortcuts cleared after updating to ios 8.0.2

After updating my iPhone 6 from IOS8 to IOS 8.0.2, the keyboard shortcuts have been cleared out. I've tried to reset the Keyboard Dictionary but no change.

Many others have the same problem. They say misery loves company. Does this help?

Keyboard shortcut for "Clear" brush mode?

I saw on this site http://helpx.adobe.com/en/photoshop/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html#WS17DDC46E-8F05- 4250-8CFC-EE0AB2E6EF84a
that the keyboard shortcut for CLEAR brush blending mode was shift+alt+R for windows. I tried it but I keep hearing that "DING ERROR" sound everytime I try. Most of the normal shortcuts work but that one and a few others dont for some reason.

Is there a keyboard shortcut (or custom) to close notifications that appear from iMessage, ical, etc. on a macbook pro?

Is there a keyboard shortcut (or a custom keyboard shortcut) to close notifications that appear from iMessage, ical, etc. on a macbook pro - the notifications that appear on the top right of the macbook. For example, I do not want to go to my trackpad and click "Close" on the notification. I simply want to trigger a hotkey or keyboard shortcut that will close the notification as I see it.
Thanks so much!

No, but this might be better for you.

What is keyboard shortcut to clear Macbook screen?

I have been using my MacBook Pro to run extended desktops on two monitors. Now, when I start up my MacBook, I get a grey screen instead of the desktop.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to bypass the grey screen and take me to the desktop on startup?

no.

Why do keyboard shortcuts for menu items created in System Preferences appear in Firefox menus but not work?

Given that Firefox does not obey the System Preferences custom keyboard shortcuts, why does it still display those shortcuts in the menus, thereby incorrectly telling users that they will work?
This issue was raised 6 months ago, but the only posted answer did not explain why the menus reflect the shortcuts that Firefox doesn't obey.

Outlines are discussed in a series of articles beginning with Creating an Outline in Chapter 5 of the Pages '09 User Guide. A similar set of articles, beginning with Creating Lists follows immediately.
Reading through the articles, I don't see any mention of a keyboard shortcut or menu item related to moving an item up or down in the list. A search through Pages '09's menus was also unproductive.
Apparently this 'essential function' is unsupported in Pages.
Feature requests should be made through Provide Pages Feedback, found in the Application menu (in Pages, the 'Pages' menu), where they'll go to and be read by Apple. Here you're posting to Pages users, who can help you use existing features, but have no direct influence on missing ones.
The Pages '09 User Guide, a searchable pdf document, is available for download via the Help menu in Pages.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work. Not only that I can't change them either. If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in. My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.
I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).
Any idea how to fix this?

If you want to go through all the steps I took:
1. Restart
2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)
3. Reset keyboard dictionary
4. Reset all settings
5. Clear autofill
Only after the last step did things start working. Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take. Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app. In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.

Assigning a new keyboard shortcut that isn't default

In CS4, I'd like to to assign a keyboard shortcut to the
"Smooth" tool (which comes up when you click pointer.) How can I do
this? When I click on Tools Panel in the Keyboard Shortcut menu, it
isn't an option and it also isn't listed in the Customize Tools
menu. I figuring, if I replace one of the available tools with the
smooth tool (again, not the one associated with pencil, but the one
that appears when you click pointer), I can do it. But how can I
replace or add to the available tools?
I'm using a mac, tiger 10.11.4
Thanks

Sorry for such a slow response. I've been up to my eyeballs in work recently! (not a bad thing). Thanks Ronin for your help. I did have a look at that link and there is some useful stuff there.
As it turns out I solved the problem another way. All I had to do was clear my synced settings and then re-sync!! can you believe that! Now when I select keyboard shortcuts from the menu the window pops up and I can customize away. Before, nothing happened when I selected keyboard shortcuts from the drop down menu!
Maybe it's a weird solo bug that only happened to me, I hope no one else suffers this infuriating thing!
Cheers

InDesignCC Keyboard shortcuts, both default and customized, don't work, or work sporadically

It seems like I'm not the only person having these problems, but I thought it was worthwhile to share my experience to see how many others are having the same issues.
I have several customized quick keys set up in InDesignCC, along with the default keyset. Some appear to work more or less correctly, some--a good example is "Links/Edit Original", which I attempt to use fairly regularly--don't work at all. Even a default quick key like Save As (cmd + shift + S) doesn't work. All that happens when I try to save as, is the word InDesign in the menu bar flashes every time I hit the key combination. Weirder still, if I put my cursor in the menu, and show the file drop down, and THEN try the quick key, it works just fine. I haven't made any system changes or updates, and this is something that's only a problem with InDesignCC (though I have had some similar issues with IllustratorCC), all my CS6 applications work fine. I've even looked through my keyset to make sure that there weren't any conflicts that I was missing, and there weren't. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or is anyone else dealing with it themselves?

This is a symptom of InDesign believing that the keyboard shortcut is allocated to a menuitem within the InDesign menu, most likely within the Services menu.
Similar behavior is seen for Cmd-Shift-L, which is InDesign's shortcut for left alignment, but by default recent versions of Mac OS X assign it to Search With Google, though it should only work when text is selected. Sometimes the OS beats out InDesign and sometimes it doesn't. It's clearly a bug in how InDesign handles its keyboard shortcut interface with the OS as a result of Cocoaization, and I understand InDesign Engineering spent some time trying to make it work and did not succeed.
Perhaps you can look in the Services menu for a clue, though its contents sometimes changes dynamically, so that may not work so well.
(hrmm; I see others have covered the above while I was doing other things. oops.)
With respect to Edit Original, are you aware that you can invoke that by option-doubleclicking? Not the same, but I find it more convenient.

How Many Functions And Keyboard Shortcuts etc. Are Missing From FCE 4 ?

Seven hours ago I set out to discover the answer to this but I got side-tracked and discovered my camera had a microphone channel missing !
So is there anything missing from FCE4 ?
There have been spurious claims that things like "Export to Soundtrack" have been dropped and though the actual command has disappeared the functionality is there in "Export to QuickTime".
However, I seem to remember Tom saying that a certain keyboard shortcut (which I can't remember) is missing.
Has anyone noticed any particular items that really have been omitted ? (Don't say Soundtrack or 9GB of LT Media!)

Hi Ian,
just to confirm that what you and Tom have found is the same I have so far.
A comment: while all other commands now missing in the FCE4 contextual menu are available in its standard menus, the Clip Enable command is really a ghost command. Only the control-B keyboard shortcut toggles it, there is no mention of it in any menu, but it appears in Tools/Button List. The online Help mentions a Modify/Clip Enable commands that does not actually exist, but on the other hand it does not mention its keyboard shortcut that in fact works... very clear!

How can I find and disable Page Down in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu?

I often accidentally hit Page Down because it's right beside my arrow keys. It seems to switch to the next symbol in the library which is something I never under any circumstances would want to do. How do I disable this incredibly annoying keyboard shortcut? I can't find it anywhere in the unsearchable rat's nest that is the Keyboard Shortcut menu.

Aha, thank you for drawing my attention to the export html button, it does make it possible to search those keyboard shortcuts.
In my case, View -> Go to -> Next was set to nothing. More oddly, the words "Page Down" don't appear anywhere at all in the generated file, and when I set another random command (Zoom In) to use Page Down it didn't warn of a conflict. Hitting page down zoomed in instead of switching me to another symbol, and when I cleared the shortcut from zoom in it went back to swapping between symbols. I guess I'll have to set something benign to use the page down key.
Bizarre. I guess this must be a bug in CS6?

Flash CC keyboard shortcuts for test/debug movie not working

My keyboard shortcuts all work exept for the various test / debug options, like debug on device,test on desktop. None of these options work.
I tried different keys combinations, so it's not the problem.
I'm tired of going trough the menu + submenu each time because I frequently switch (desktop is faster for quick testing).
I mean, I do this a hundred times a day. Please check this! thanks.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer.
Flash CC, Win7 64bit, I use sublime text, nothing else is running...
Absolutly nothing is happening if I try.
Correction: ctrl+enter has been successfully assigned (I see the text in the menu) and is recongnize for "test movie ...air debug desktop"
Others don't appear in the sub-sub-menu for testing or debugging over usb.
I've assigned them to ctrl+alt+enter/return and ctrl-shift-enter/return. (I've tried other keys as well...)
So it appear the problem is with test/debug USB...
EDIT: Just to be clear, I try to set custom shortcuts, to avoid the default behaviour (one shortcut to launch the last choice). this weird behaviour is probably the cause of the problem in the first place.

Crash on Overwrite/Insert from Keyboard Shortcut (LinkContainer.cpp)

Editing a project I've had for a while when I started getting this error (LinkContainer.cpp). It happened when I would hit overwrite or insert from the keyboard only. My keyboard is customized, with overwrite and insert on V and B.
I resolved the issue by resetting the keyboard shortcuts to their default settings.
Things I did that didn't work:
Trash prefs
Clear media cache
Import project into new project
Things I did that worked but are blah:
Import sequence into new project
It would also function as expected for a few edits after a full system restart, then the error would persist.
Brand new project and importing media and starting over also appeared to work, but who wants to do that?
The crash wasn't like a complete and sudden shut down. This error would pop up, and Premiere would tell me it'd attempt to save my work. And it did always save my project with the most recent changes as a copy, then reopen that copy right where it left off.
I'm in Premiere 6.0.2 on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.5, 8GB of RAM if it matters.
So the current project works if I keep the default shortcut to finish it, and new projects seem to work but I haven't done extensive editing in them. It sucks to get stuck on default shortcuts suddenly in a pinch, so I'm wondering what's going on so I can fix or avoid it in the future.

Hitting that same error on a new project. There are several things in common between the two projects: Both use 5D media, both were synced using PluralEyes 3 with an XML import, both crash when using an insert or overwrite keyboard shortcut. Any word on this?

Problem with iPhone and iPad keyboard shortcuts

When I try to access the keyboard shortcuts in either my iPhone 6+, iPad 3 or iPad Air, the sequence Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts causes the devices to go back to the Home Screen. I spent several hours in a chat with Apple Support, had to go through an iTunes back up on the iPhone and restored it to "new phone" and it fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPads. Chatted again today with Support, tried hard reset (press both buttons till Apple logo appears) on the iPad 3 and I could access the shortcuts. Did the same on the iPad Air with no luck.
Now, one hour after second Support chat, none of the devices can access the shortcuts. There must be a problem with iCloud for this to be happening on all 3 devices.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Same problem also and if I restore both the iPhone and iPad as new I
lose a lot of progress in my games.

Application Keyboard Shortcuts not working in Text Edit

Under System Preferences (Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Keyboard Shortcuts -> All Applications), I changed some basic keyboard shortcuts (Copy, Paste, etc.) to use the ctrl key instead of the command key. These shortcuts seem to work well in the basic applications I use (MS Office, Firefox, etc.)
However, they do not work in TextEdit. I did verify that the Menu name in I entered in System Preferences matches exactly the way it appears in TextEdit.
Anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas on how to resolve it? I would very much like this fixed since my switching between Windows (in Parallels) and Mac OS X is seamless except for the fact that I have to remember different keyboard shortcuts in each OS. Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
