Cmd-Shift-L shortcut broken in 4.0.4

Hi - I just upgraded to Safari 4.0.4 and found that the cmd-shift-L shortcut (which opens a google search for highlighted text in an active new tab) is no longer functioning. Has anybody figured a way of restoring this? I have come to depend on it since acidsearch's unfortunate demise.

Has anybody figured a way of restoring this?
Not broken here, still working fine as always. Have you tried repairing permissions or creating a new user account and seeing if the problem persists there? It's an issue with your install, as a guess. Working fine on all the Mac's around here with Safari 4.04

Disable Cmd-Shift-B shortcut

Hello,
In TIGER as well as LEOPARD, how do I disable the Cmd-Shift-B shortcut that launches Bluetooth File Exchange? I had found "Services Manager" for Jaguar PPC but that will not run on my MacBook Pro.
I am tired of not being able to type Cmd-Shift-B to make text bold in my other applications!
Thank you,
Eric

The shortcut to open the Bluetooth File Exchange in the service menu stands in the info.plist file inside of the Application Package.
Open the Bluetooth File Exchange Application with the contextual menu. Then open the folder Contents.
When you have an Plist Editor, open the file "info.plist" with the Editor and delete the entry "NSKeyEquivalent" in the Path "NSServices > 0".
Have you not an Plist Editor, open the file with TextEdit and delete the entry:
<key>NSKeyEquivalent</key>
<dict>
<key>default</key>
<string>B</string>
</dict>
Then logout and login again.
If this work under 10.5, can i not say.
And before you make changes, make a backup of this file.

Changing Cmd+Shift+Tab Shortcut

Hi,
In Leopard I was able to switch applications in reverse order using just CMD+SHIFT with a 3rd party app - LiteSwitch X, instead of the regular CMDSHIFTTAB. But that app doesn't work in 10.6 anymore.
Is it possible to modify the shortcut CMDSHIFTTAB to CMD+SHIFT?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ctrl Shift Left, Ctrl Shift Right shortcuts broken in GMail compose box

When composing a GMail message in Firefox, selecting a word at a time with ctrl-shift-left arrow or ctrl-shift-right arrow stopped working in the compose textarea. (The key combination does nothing now. Without the ctrl, shift-arrow still selects a letter at a time.)
This was broken a long time ago, then fixed somewhere in the last few months. Now in 3.6.12 it's broken again.
This works fine in Chrome 6,7 and 8, as well as IE.

You're welcome and thanks for posting the outcome of your 'hunt' for the culprit.

Ctrl-Shift Keyboard Shortcuts Broken

Hello
I switch layout with Ctrl+Shift. And have a little trouble. When i try:
Reopen recent tab in Chrome/Firefox (Ctrl+Shift+T)
Select previous tab in Chrome/Firefox (Ctrl+Shift+Tab)
I get just new tab in the first case, and select next tab in the second. This changes the layout. So, performs the action, as if the Shift key not pressed.
Looking for a solution I found that this is common problem. Not only for browsers... ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5592 … -linux-kde )
I found similar topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1352640 and read this --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg . But solution don't found.
Someone can help? I don't want change to Alt+Shift switch layout.
P.S. I using Awesome WM

May be it is too late, but this topic is at top of google...any way
here is russian link:
http://habrahabr.ru/sandbox/44336/
in short, you must get sources of xserver by using abs, save there patch file from article, modify PKGBUILD to apply this patch.
Reason is, xserver switches keyboard "onkeypress" while it should do "onkeyrelease". This bug is mentioned in 2006 and not fixed since that because it will lead to change xserver's specs.
P.S. patch in article is for 1.12.xx, but it worked with 1.16.1 for me.

CMD + Shift constrain drag shortcut buggy in Photoshop CS6 (Mac)

Since moving to Photoshop CS6 a shortcut I regularly use for switching tool and dragging elements on a page is producing varying results. The CMD + Shift drag is very useful to allow users to drag elements constrained vertically or horizontally on the page. However since CS6 I have noticed it no longer allows me to drag effectively while my cursor is over the elements I want to move. It goes a bit nuts and does different angles instead of the constrain. This problem is intermittent and depending on the elements I am attempting to move will randomly depend on whether it works. This shortcut I have been using for years and has become native to me. So why now is it not working properly ?

I can reproduce this issue in Bridge CS6. Thanks for reporting!

Shortcut for Google Search (Cmd-Shift-L) Linked to Newsfire

I recently downloaded the now free RSS reader Newsfire just to try it. I didn't like it that much compared to NetNewsWire, so I trashed it with AppZapper, thus deleting all the files related to Newsfire.
Now every time I try to use the shortcut for Google Search on a selected piece of text in Safari (Cmd-Shift-L), it tries to link to Newsfire and add a new feed. This is highly annoying and worst of all, I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
The Newsfire site has nothing on it as far as a forum or an email to Dave Watanbe. I've heard the criticism that he's gotten in the past over the way he handles his business, so I've decided to try to fix the problem through these discussions.
Anyone else having this problem?

I fixed it myself with the free Onyx program for Mac.
If you reset the Launch services Database under Maintenance, it fixes this issue.

[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha Shortcuts don't work in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
Bug Synopsis: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW. Most notably, CTRL+SHIFT+Z, CTRL+SHIFT+E, and CTRL+SHIFT+S
Test setup: LV2012 32bit with f1 patch running in Win7 64bit inside a Parallels 8 VM in OS X 10.8.1
To summarize the testing I have tried:
Many different LabVIEW, Guest OS, and Host OS combinations all fail, including:
LV2012f1 32 and 64 bit, and LV2009 32 bit
Win7 32 and 64bit, and also WinXP x64
Parallels 7 and Parallels 8
OS X 10.7 and 10.8
Capturing the keyboard by the VM
Twiddling every keyboard setting possible on Parallels, Guest, and Host
Reinstalling keyboard drivers
Plugging in a known-good keyboard that works on a native Windows machine
Deleting LabVIEW.ini and letting it regenerate
Remapping the shortcuts from, e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+E to CTRL+E - in this case, "Show in Project" works, so this might indicate it's a problem registering the shortcut press, not invoking the action itself.
Sending the keystrokes via on-screen keyboards from both Guest and Host
Sending the keystrokes via SendInput from user32.dll WinAPI
Testing every imaginable combo of FN, CONTROL, ALT/OPTION, COMMAND/CMD, SHIFT
Reinstalling VMs from scratch and reinstalling LV
Here's a kicker: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts work fine on other Windows programs (I've tried 4 different programs, including Chrome, Notepad++, Paint.NET), yet it does NOT work for VIPM with CTRL+SHIFT+C. This means that the only two programs where the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha bugs exist are both LabVIEW-related.
Here's another kicker: It's only CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts with the prob - CTRL+SHIFT+3 properly toggles grid alignment, and the "Tools >> Options >> Menu shortcuts" will register any CTRL+SHIFT+Non-alpha shortcut; it just does not respond to the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts.
Any new troubleshooting ideas are highly appreciated; please feel free to jump in here or on LAVA.

Screenshot cmd-shift-4 not working after startup

Guys, please help me. I have a 7 months old Imac running on OS X 10.9.4 with a bluetooth/wireless keyboard.
Recently my keyboard shortcut for screenshot (cmd-shift-4) stopped working. The funny thing is when I restart, the screenshot shortcut works for a minute or two and suddenly stops working again. I'm guessing is it one of the daemons/startup/login items?
I already tried:
-putting fresh batteries to the keyboard
-reinstalling Mavericks
-using another account name -
-checked the system preferences (under the keyboard shortcuts)
None of these worked. I use this function a lot in my work and it's driving me nuts for such a simple feature please help.

If you boot into Safe Mode, does Command-Shift-4 continue to work
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564>
If you use Command-Control-Shift-4 to capture the screen shot into the copy/paste buffer and then use Applications -> Preview -> File -> New from Clipboard, does that work? I'm mostly checking if screen shot functionality works at all, or if it is just the creation of a file on the desktop, or if maybe some other function has taken over Command-Shift-4 hotkey.
If you look in Applications -> Utilities -> Console -> All Messages, do you get any message that might be related to screen capture at the exact moment you are trying to do a Command-Shift-4?

Cmd+shift+4 screenshot files do get created on Leopard??

Hi, I have a fresh install of Leopard that has since been "software updated" to 10.5.1.
When I cmdshift4 to create a screen shot, I get the screen area selector, and I hear the little camera shutter noise, but no files are created. In Tiger I used to get screenshot files created on my desktop "Picture 1", "Picture 2", and so on. But now I get nothing.
Using spotlight to search, the file don't appear to be anywhere on my system. I've reverted to using Grab to take screenshots which isn't nearly as quick and easy as the cmd-shift-4 key combination. (By the way, I'm logged in as a user who does not have admin capabilities, if that makes a difference.)
Is this functionality broken in Leopard? Any help is greatly appreciated,
slegge

Typed 'screencapture test', heard the camera noise, and saw the following output (below). It appeared to create a file called '.test-k1Xg' in my home folder.

Using cmd-shift-left/right arrows in Terminal

Hi,
Is there a way to revert to Leopard's shortcuts for switching tabs in Terminal?
I'm working on a daily basis with both Leopard and Snow Leopard and the fact that I have to use cmd-shift-left/right in the former (which is coherent with Safari) and cmd-left/right in the latter (which is coherent with I wonder what?) is extremely annoying.
I tried using System Preferences Keyboard pane to assign the shortcut to no avail, but it doesn't seem to work at all.
BTW, I really don't understand why Apple changed this shortcut. As with any application, changing shortcuts is not really considerate for end users ;P
TIA

I don't know why you have command+left or right arrow for tab switching. i have command+shift +left or right arrow. running 10.6.2 here. also, the other shortcuts for this that show up in the window menu are command+} and command+{. those can be also be changed in keyboard system preferences. that should have worked for you. i can do it without problems. but I suggest you reset your terminal preference file. that should restore teh default shortcuts. quit terminal and delete the file ~/library/preferences/com.apple.terminal.plist. start terminal and the shortcuts should be commandshiftarrows.

Cmd shift tilde

i'm want to use the cmd shift tilde keyboard short cut to cycle through the fcp windows but it isn't working.
i have several g5s all running osx. we are in the uk.
i have tested that the keyboards are working properly by typing tilde into a text editor. the short cut works on none of the machines.
other keyboard shortcuts work fine. has anyone any idea why cmd shift tilde does not work on any of my macs? could it be something in the mac system prefs? i can't see anything but if anyone can help i'd appreciate it.

hy alan
i'm running 10.4.8 and it works jsut fine on my MBP (within FCP 5.1.2 and everywher else) ... try creating a new user account and see if it works there. if not then you might try downloading the last OS "combo" updater and re-updating your OS.
hope it helps

Power user function: cmd+shift+/ not activating menu items in Photoshop

In Photoshop (Mac OS X), I typically use the pattern type cmd+shift+/ to open the help menu, type the phrase of the menu item I want to use, and then hit enter to activate the selected menu item.
I just checked Photoshop CC and the enter key does not seem to correctly behave as it should. Instead of activating the selected menu item, it just dismisses the help menu.
Is there a way to force the enter key to behave correctly, as it does in other apps?

It seems to do the same running 14.1.2 on mac os x 10 6.8
It seemed to work fine before updating from version 14.0

My mac stops working after Screen capture (Cmd+Shift+4)

Hi all,
this is really a serious issue!
After upgrading to 10.6.6, I have found a bug with the Screen capture feature.
After several screen shots (CmdShift4) OSX is hanging. You can move the mouse, but everything else is frozen.
I've tested it prior to the upgrade with 10.6.5 -> no problem
I've tested it with 10.6.6 on 2 different Macbook Pros (different models) and both have the same issue with 10.6.6
Please apple, fix this bug!!
thnx
viTus

I don't think there is a bug for Apple to fix, as far as I can tell. I've taken plenty of screenshots using cmd-shift-4 since the update (I actually did a number just a few days ago), and my system is working just fine, as always. I also haven't heard any other reports of this kind of problem. So, the question is, what's going wrong with your systems?
Since it's happening on two different machines, my inclination would be to blame third-party software you've got installed. Try [starting up in Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455]... does the problem still happen then? Safe mode disables third-party software that may be loading at startup/login, so if the problem goes away in safe mode, then it's just a matter of figuring out what software is causing the problem.
Also, are you using any other third-party hardware, especially input devices, with both MacBooks when you're taking the screen shots? If so, try disconnecting all of it and use just the built-in keyboard and trackpad. If the problem goes away then, it's probably a hardware incompatibility.
