"cmd right" shortcut not in Lion

So, after installing Lion on my laptop, the "cmd + left" and the "cmd + right" shortcuts are not working. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Ah.
CMD-right arrow and CMD-left arrow are working for me (in Mail). So is OPTION-arrow to move one word at a time.
What application are you having problems with this in?
Cheers,
Rodney

Cmd+right shortcut has stopped working

Ever since updating to Snow Leopard from Leopard, the Cmd+right arrow built-in shortcut to go to the end of a line of text has stopped working. This used to work in most applications, now it doesn't work at all.
I don't see anything in System Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts that is overriding it, and I haven't installed any applications different from when I was on Leopard. Cmd+left arrow shortcut is still working too, which makes this even weirder.
Any suggestions as to where I would start to troubleshoot this?

I'd hazard the guess at this moment that it isn't hardware related, but don't discount that until you test with a USB keyboard perhaps.
I hate to say it, but there seem to be a number of things like this lately with reports of the issue mysteriously clearing itself shortly thereafter. I'm not trying to bucket shop a load of pixie dust, so please don't make any plans around this particular summation

Gmail - Compose email - Command-left/right shortcut not working

Firefox 3.6.12
Mac OS X 10.5.8
In the 'Compose mail' window of GMail the shortcut Command-left arrow or Command-right arrow to jump to respectively beginning or end of a line, is not working. Command-up/down (go to top/bottom) and option-left/right (jump per word) are all working fine.
I already tried running Firefox in Safe mode but still the same issue. Also tried clearing the cache and all history but to no avail.
In Safari the shortcut works fine but I'd like to stick to Firefox.
Thanks for any suggestions.

This problem has been marked "solved" but isn't solved at all. This problem still exists, and is infuriating to any Mac/Firefox/Gmail users who like to stick to the keyboard. I've also noticed this happens in other google apps (blogger, docs, etc).

CMD+ shortcuts not working in Dreamweaver CS3

I'm have a very strange issue with CMD+ keyboard shortcuts
not working in Dreamweaver CS3 on OSX 10.5. These actions are
working from the menus (i.e., copy, cut, paste, etc.). CMD+
shortcuts work in other CS3 apps. I've searched this forum and
googled up and down and found some references to issues like this
with Dreamweaver 8, but nothing for CS3.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm completely stumped.

My concern wasn't with the navbar, but thanks for the headsup.
The problem is that the link in the upper left hand corner, Suzie's Story, is a rollover image but it does not reveal the other image when the cursor goes over it.

Alt shortcuts not working for alt-left/right or for é, í etc

Hi guys,
I've had this problem for a while now… Essentially, the issue lies in the alt-shortcuts for left and right where one is usualy able to 'word jump', and the creation of accented characters like é and í using the alt-e shortcut. All other alt functions appear to work fine for the moment. The alt-left/right shortcut still works when shift is held down, and highlights all the characters that have been passed over, as it should. The output for alt-e is completely blank, and the alt-left/right output is nothing, unless shift is also held.
I have a British English MacBook Air keyboard on Mountain Lion, and I have set it to that layout, and I regularly switch between this and greek for scientific formulæ. I've fiddled around with language and input settings trying to get it to work again to no avail, and there are no shortcuts programmed to that to my knowledge. I have checked on a guest account and it seems to be account specific. Ideally I'd like to keep this account without migrating everything over - does anyone have any ideas with regards to how to track down where the problem is?
Thanks in advance to any responses!

If only alt + e is not working, double check system preferences/speech to make sure it has not been set as a trigger for text to speech or speech recognition or whatever.

CMD+ shortcut not working on Czech keyboard

Hello,
I have this problem. CMD+ and some other shortcuts are not working or are working weird on Czech keyboard. For example it works in Preview (sometimes) but not in Safari.
On Czech keyboard there is + sign on the key with number 1. (normal press = "+" shift and press = "1"). When I activated Keyboard Viewer in could see that when I press CMD the "+" key turns to "1". So then its impossible to press CMD+. The weird thing is that in Preview it sometimes works like CMD+ and sometimes like CMD and 1 (I really don't know why, in both cases i have a pdf file opened).
Then I tried setting CMD and 1 as a shortcut for Zoom In instead of CMD+. Here is another weird thing. When I pressed CMD+ the shortcut was set to CMD+ with no problem, but when I want to use it it always acts as CMD and 1.
Can somebody explain me why this all works weird like that or maybe can somebody look into it and fix it somehow?
Thanks
Regards
Milan

This could be lots of things. I'd say it was some type of system corruption.
First, thing is to define a new user & see if the problem exits there.
If not, -- good news -- it is probably some finder preference. You need to delete the finder preferences.
Otherwise, the corruption is somewhere else.
the swag stuff…
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
You should run disk utility
a) verify the disk
b) update your permissions.
Try a safe boot.
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive is being checked.

Finder keyboard shortcuts not working (cmd-c, cmd-v, cmd-a)

All of a sudden, the edit menu cmd functions are not working, such as cmd-v, cmd-c, cmd-a.
Cmd-p still works.
Using a bluetooth keyboard, all the commands work.
But the built-in keyboard will not work for these functions, even under a newly created user account.
Thoughts?

Have you tried searching for Cut in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog? Perhaps is somehow got assigned to a new command.
you may also want to try deleting your preferences. Hold down Option+Shift when launching Premiere.

When I now use the cmd-tab shortcut to go to a different open application it madly scrolls through all the open applications and does not let me select one. Any ideas as to what might be wrong. It doesn't appear to be a sticking key?

Problem with the cmd-tab keyboard shortcut now cured with the latest software update, so the original problem must have been a software glitch.

Maximising windows and important Keyboard Shortcuts in Mountain Lion

Hi - just two questions related to the behaviour of Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
When you minimise a window in Mac OS X, it shrinks down and sits next to the trash. When you want to access it again, you simply click on it and it is maximised again. Can anyone explain to me why, when I have multiple windows open and one minimised, Mac OS X does not always present me with the minimised window when I click on it in the dock? It flicks to another window. This mainly happens when I'm using Word for Mac. To clarify, say I have documents A, B and C open. A and B are both maximised with A at the front and C is minimised. When I click on C to maximise it, there is a short delay and suddenly B appears at the front. So OS X doesn't even take me back to the document I was just viewing, but the random document that just happened to be open in the background. Frustrating enough when I only have three documents open - I'm often using many more and the problem is even more noticeable.
Another frustration I have is not being able to browse quickly between document windows. Windows has a convenient Ctrl+Tab function that allows you to flick between all open windows. OS X has a poor imitation which only allows switching between windows of different applications. If I want to switch between windows of the same application, Cmd+Tab will not allow me to do this. Is there another keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X that will? In previous versions of OS X, I resigned myself to using expose to account for the lack of this function, but now with mission control, all windows are clumped together according to their application - a nice organisational idea in theory perhaps, but rendering mission control completely useless for the functions which expose provided. What am I meant to do if I just happen to want to access the seventh document window that I have open? Mission control shows me barely a sliver of the window's border and no detail of the content whatsoever.
Are there solutions to these problems that inhibit workflow so badly? Are there a whole range of window-switching functions which I simply do not know of? Surely such awkwardness was not what mac is aiming for when designing Moutain Lion.
Any advice much appreciated.

You can choose to not minimize windows into the app in the Dock System prefs. That will leave it in the Dock as a separate window.
You can cycle between application windows using cmd-`, however they don't cycle to minimized windows.
On a US keyboard, that key is right above the tab key. It is in various other places on other keyboard layouts.
You can change the shortcut in the Keyboard & Text Input section of Keyboard Shortcuts (Keyboard System Prefs). I believe you used to be able to cycle through Minimized windows, but someone decided you minimized them to get them out of the way and removed them from the cycling.
About the only way is to activate Application Exposé and then arrow down to the minimized windows.
When a window is highlighted, you can hit the space bar to "Qucicklook" the window. The Arrow keys will then cycle between minimized windows.

CMD Space and CMD {RIGHT}/{LEFT} have stopped working as config- any ideas?

I have CMD Space set to open Spotlight - set in Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/Keyboard Shortcuts
Used to work but stopped over the last couple of days.
Also, I have set the Spaces to switch on a CMD {Right} or {Left} cursor. this has stopped too.
Have confirmed both are set in preferences.
Have done a reboot.
Keys still not working.
Any suggestions. Failing that I'll just live with it until I put SL on it.

Here was my solution to this. My left click button on both the trackpad and touch pad suddenly stopped working on me. After putting up with this for a few weeks I decided to investigate. I found if I disabled the touch pad the trackpad left click would start to work again. So I investigated by carefully popping off the left click button for touchpad. Everything looked normal, so I investigated a little father buy removing the small round blueish rubber piece in the middle of the button. Once I did this I realized it quite dirty, with a soft cloth and a toothpick I cleaned both the contacts on the PC and the the black spot on the rubber piece, putting everything back together and my left click worked once again.
The cause of my problem was just a build up of dirt under the rubber contact which caused the button to short out and disable itself.
I didn't have to reinstall any software or drivers.

Error sound on mac when switching tab with cmd+right arrow

On Firefox 3.6.9 and OSX 10.6.4, when I switch to a tab to the right using cmd+right arrow, I get an error sound but Firefox successfully switches to the tab. The error sound is the same sound you get when you press a keyboard shortcut that doesn't exists (ex: cmd+?)
However, if I use cmd+left arrow I don't get the error sound.
How can I eliminate the error sound?

I am just finally posting a reply. Looks as though the sound card went out. I was told that I could purchase a new open and install myself. I did not do that, but rather my step-dad just decided it was time to buy a new Mac Mini.

Safari keyboard shortcut not working

Hi
Safari keyboard shortcut not working right.
I have 6 website in favourite bookmark. When press cmd + 1 should load 1st website in favourite folder. Nothing happen. Same cmd + 2, cmd + 3 etc.
Now cmd + 1 keep add ':)' smiley text emotion instead.
I have reset keyboard shortcut default in System Preference Keyboard but nothing change.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

CMD+ any shortcut doesn't work in Safari after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading from Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 not a single CMD+ shortcut works?!
For example CMD+tab works (switching between apps), ctrl+tab works (switching between tabs), but none of these work: CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+F, CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+P...
They all work perfectly fine in all other apps. It's just Safari.
Does anyone have any idea why and how to fix this?

I have a similar pb :
CMD+SHIFT+1,2,3,... doesn't work in safari.
I'm using "English interface" with "French keyboard".
following miladc advice and link (Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox),
I changed my Language pref to French ... so I got "French interface" with "French keyboard" ... and it worked once !!!!
But it works no more ... very weird
All I want to do, it's having shortcut for my bookmarklet !

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

How do I determine the size of an event (cmd I does not show any size for events).

How do I determine the size of an Event in iPhoto? (Cmd + I does not show size information at the event level).

If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) select the event and look at the Info pane at the lower left hand corner of the window. It will give you the number of photos and size:
for iPhoto 9 (11) open the Event, select all of the photos in it and open the Info drawer at the right by typing Command+i. The number of photos and size will be at the top of the Info drawer.
