Command Delete shortcut not working

When I try to send files to the trash from Finder, the Command & Delete button combo that usually work, refuse to work now. Does anyone have any idea on how to get this working again? If i click on the file, i can manually move it to the trash. Just a pain because I need to delete files rather frequently. Thanks!

Was having the same problem and this fixed it.
Go to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and click the "Restore Defaults" button. Worked for me!
Best,
David

I have a MacBook Air using Maverick. I have files in the trash I want to recover. I do not have "Put Back" and Command Delete does not work.

I have a MacBook Air using Maverick. I have files in the trash I want to recover to their original files. I do not have "Back Up" and "Command + Delete" does not work.

Drag them out of the Trash and put them in their original location. Put Back may work on one file at a time.

Command - Tab shortcut not working

My command - tab shortcut stops working after a random period of time and I have to restart my MacBook to get it working again. Any idea what could be causing this keyboard shortcut to fail? I tried killing and re-running the Dock but that does not fix it. A refuse to reboot my Mac everytime it happens (this is not Windows...) Any ideas on what might be causing the problem?

Actually I just researched this further and found a solution here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1830738&tstart=0
+Open the activity monitor and look for something like the "ScreenSaverEngine" - the process should be marked as "not responding" (written in red)+
+End this process and Command+Tab and other shortcuts will work again!+

I'm having more or less the same problem (was first stricken with it about two weeks ago).
Clicking Copy in Edit menu does the trick, ie copies, but the Command C shortcut, in any application mysteriously and infuriatingly brings up some document in Adobe reader.
In addition, it may by pertinent, this problem first manifest itself when the keyboard shortcut I had assigned under the dictionary app Ultralingua( nothing to do with Command C) also brought up the same uncalled for document in Adobe Reader.
I have tried various things, including repairing permission, but to no avail.
The problem (both of them actually) is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

"Get info" (command I) shortcut not working

When using Finder (MacBookPro 10.5.5), if I try to use the keyboard shortcut of command-I to get info on a file, it doesn't work. Nothing happens.
If I go through the menu, then it works fine. Other shortcuts, like open (command-O) still work.
I've added this shortcut under system preferences, but that hasn't helped.
Option-Command-I and control-command-I will bring up the info window.
Note, this is not for itunes--I've seen that plenty of people are having problems with "get info" there.

Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, there's corruption/conflict in the original account. If so, then it's system-wide and installing the latest COMBO update, repairing permissions, and restarting should fix it. If not, report back for more detailed steps.

Command T shortcut not working

Hi, for some reason I'm suddenly unable to use the command T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab in either Safari or FireFox. I'm not sure when the problem started I just noticed it today. I can open a new tab from the finder window but not with the shortcut.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to go into the preferences and make my own keyboard shortcut.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Command+Delete Shortcut!

Hello,
I have noticed that the command+delete shortcut does not work on Mac OS Server, is this a normal behavior or is it just my system. Is there a way to set it up?
Appreciate any help on this matter.

Camelot:
Thank you for your response!
I do not have thirdparty software, I am aware of, that is over-riding short-cut commands in the system. Regarding the system preferences, are you refering to "Keyboard Shortcuts?"
As far as I know, the "Keyboard Shortcut" pereferences does not have an option for Move to Trash to tamper with? However, under the File menu, in Finder, I see that the move to Trash action has the correct shortcut, command+delete. Unless I am missing something here, I am not sure where else to look for such preferences. This is really annoying!
I hope there is away to reset it!!!!

Shortcut not working in cs6

The keyboard shortcut command - h does not work. But it does from the menu bar drop down under Dreamweaver. On a mac 10.7.4

I can confirm that Cmd+H doesn't work in DW CS6 on a Mac. However, Cmd+Q works every time for me.
When you find what you think is a bug (and Cmd+H is definitely a bug), the best place to report it is through the bug report/feature request form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

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.

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.

Why is my keyboard shortcut not working?

Indesign keyboard shortcut for CUT (command+x) is not working. I'm on a Mac running OS 10.9.5. I need that puppy!

My installation has been known to randomly forget which shortcut set I prefer.
Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
verify that there is an entry.
(The first field - Set - is empty when kbsc's are not correct)

Photoshop: full screen mode shortcut not working

photoshop: full screen mode shortcut not working, if i press shirt+alt+ctr key then i delete the file, what happen ?

Could you elaborate?
F is the default shorcut for »Change Screen Mode« for me, so I’m not sure what you want with the qualifier keys.
Have you changed your Edit > Keyboard Shortcut?

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11, anyone having the same issue?

Thanks for figuring that out.
I thought that command-L was working when I first switched to iTunes 11, but then it wasn't working anymore. That's the ticket: I changed the display to show the sidebar.
Still, I'd like to be able to use the command-L feature whether I'm showing the sidebar or not.
I'd also like it if iTunes would keep showing the currently playing song when in Grid or Artist view modes. It doesn't, so I have to keep using command-L to see the current song info.
