Command -` for switching windows within an application

I ran an update to 10.6.5 last week and suddenly I appear to be unable to scroll between tabs within an application using Cmd - `.
For example, using safari i was able to scroll between tabs using this keyboard shortcut, and in excel I was able to scroll between Workbooks.
I have the option checked under
System Preferences | Keyboard | Keyboard Shortcuts | Keyboard and Text Input | Move focus to next window in application = ⌘`

This application will.

Switching windows within an application

So I know that I can use the apple+tab to switch between applications. I'm wondering what I can hit to switch between two windows of the same application. Like if I have three open firefox windows, hitting apple+tab will only let me switch to iTunes or something else, not the other firefox windows. Thanks for the help.

Switch windows within program in text edit in yosemite

When I started using Mac (back with 10.4 or someting) you could switch windows within programs using cmd+< or cmd+shift+< (cmd+>). This worked for every program, and I see it as an essential core to how OSX handles it's programs windows. And it's a really feature, IMO.
However, some versions back (I don't remember if it was 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9) someone changed this in Mail. When writing an email, the shortcut cmd+< changes the indent level. cmd+shift+< still changes the window. This is VERY frustrating. When I noticed this, I thought "alright, whoever came up with this idea should get fired!" Well guess what? He or she wasn't. This person still works at Apple and has now got his or her hands on Text Edit. In Text Edit in Yosemite, these shortcuts zooms in and out! And there is no longer any shortcut to change the windows within Text Edit. I'll say it again: Please fire this person before he or she destroys more! And make sure to change back so that cmd+< works for all programs.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

__ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?

__ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?
By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!
Thanks,
Hugh

Help! - Switching windows within Illustrator

Anybody know the command (shortcut) on how to switch between windows in Illustrator? For example: If I have 2 ai files open and I want to go back and forth between the 2, how do I do that? I obviously know how to do through the window file menu, but is there a quick default command already?
I'm using a PC, Adobe Illustartor CS3.
- Also, anybody know how to change the default swatches library. I want to add my own swatches every time I open up a new document.

Yes, Thank you!

Key command for switching languages for 10.9 maverick

I was wondering if there is a keyboard short cut to swtich language input of the keyboard than manually clicking to swtich language. I'm an English user, but sometimes use korean keyboard. when i'm doing langauge study, it's tedious and annoying ot swtich back and forth for language studies.
i tried to look in keyboard --> shortcuts but don't see that option nor understand how you can manually set up that short cut like in windows. if someone knows or figure out how I appreciate it if you can give me clear instruction to do that.
please post it on forum or email me

Do you really not see the items for "input source"?

Commands for Login Window Settings?

Is there a command so that I can get my login window back to "list of users" setting showing my name and picture icon as opposed to "name and password" which is how it's set now?
I used a hack program and now the settings won't change despite what I do in system prefs.
Thanks.

You could try: defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME -boolean NO

Terminal command for switching a printer setting?

Creating a packagemaker package to install a printer. I create a duplex custom preset in /Library/Preferences/ and it shows up in the list of settings. However, I don't know how to make it the default for the printer I install. Any easy way to do this?
Thanks.

AppleScript may be able to do this, if that's possible in your setup.

Multiple forms in multiple windows within application

hi,
our user wants to be able to open more than one form in multiple windows within the application and have them within the application window at the same time. we are planning to use open_form instead of call_form to do this. however open_form does not let me specify the query mode, so i guess will have to do that manually? what does Oracle recommend as a best practice for applications - to support mutliple windows or not? if yes, as call_form or open_form?
thanks.

Yes using open form you will have to manually (in code) switch into Query Mode.
We recommend Open Form over call form as it is more memory efficient, of course there are situations when the behaviour of Call Form is useful but generally I'd encorage the use of open.

Command ~ (tilde) to switch windows stops working

Well, actually I guess it is command-` since you don't press shift.
My problem is this command key short cut stopped working. Mac OS 10.4.11 onAlu iMac with 4gb ram. It had been working, but now I noticed it stopped working.
It never worked on my G4 tower but did work on my wifes iBook. It didn't work in my buddies tower but does work on my dads iMac G5.
What the heck? How does a command key shortcut stop working. I get a audible bonk alert when I try to do command-` to switch windows. It used to work.
Any ideas?

Have you checked your keybindings? +(System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts)+ Is there a checkmark next to "Move focus to next window in active application"? Maybe your modifier keys have been altered? +(System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard > Modifier Keys...)+

Is there a keystroke combination for switching to the "next" tab?

When I have multiple tabs open, I'd like to be able to switch among them without using the mouse. Only the mouse can select a specific tab, but a keystroke that runs through the tabs serially would be very useful. Photoshop Elements and Microsoft Word use Command-` for switching serially through images and documents, respectively. It's similar to OS X using Command-Tab for switching serially through open applications.
Firefox 5.0.1, OS X 10.6.8

I don't have Page Up or Page Down on my Apple wireless keyboard, but "Ctrl+Tab" is very much the answer to my problem. Thank you.
(I don't need to mess with "Shift+Ctrl+Tab", because one direction is all I need.)

E72: shortcut for switching mode ?

I wanted to removed 'switch mode' short cut from the home screen, so that I can use some other useful shortcut there ?
Is there any shortcut for switching mode ?
Thanks

There are actually two sets of shortcuts for switching windows in Photoshop CC. One is the OS shortcut that Photoshop respects, which c.pfaffenbichler covered. The other is the older traditional Photoshop shortcut for switching windows, which on the Mac is Control-Tab or Shift-Control-Tab (that really does use the Control key on the Mac, not Command). Both ways work for me in Photoshop CC in Mavericks.
The shortcut you mentioned, Command-< , is not a default shortcut for window switching for the US keyboard. Is your keyboard set to a different language? That might be part of the issue. Or you could try resetting your preferences (start Photoshop while holding Command-Option-Shift).

How does one specify command line switches for a Helper Application in Mozilla Firefox?

Greetings,
I would like to have a certain batch file to be executed when downloading torrent files unfortunately the Select Helper Application dialog does not allow to add command line switches. I did find a workaround to achieve this. In the Select Helper Application dialog browse to the folder which contains the batch file, type the file name including the file extension of the batch file and click on Open.
Though, this is not the way I would like to execute the batch file. I need to pass some additional command line switches to the command interpreter but I cannot seem to find a way how. Any suggestions or clarifications would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Joeri

Hi Joeri,
This is possibly slightly off topic for this forum as it relates to something more than the standard use of Firefox. Although I do not know the answer myself someone else may post later. Otherwise try somewhere else my suggestions are:
*The mozillazine fora tend to discuss a wider range of subjects and technical details <br/> http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php
*Also it may be worth asking on the Add-on forum <br/> https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/
*Note a general information kb relating to downloads is
** http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
** and for anyone with simpler questions [[Unable to download or save files]]
If you do solve this I hope you post back with the answer and a link to the relevant information.
Good luck with finding a solution, John

Upgraded Firefox is hanging. When Firefox opens none of the bookmakrs are available immediately. They hang for a monent. When opening up a window in an application (i.e., email address search) the window hangs.

When opening Firefox, the bookmarks hang for up to 30 seconds before they can be accessed. Also have a hanging issue when opening a window/pop-up within an application (i.e., email search window).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After automatic upgrade

Unless the schedule it's running on is every single time I open Firefox (including closing it & reopening it right away), I don't think that's the case. Also, I don't have any of these issues on the PC I switched back to v3.6 on. That one runs smoothly whether I run Ccleaner, registry optimizers, clear the cache & history or whatever. I thought after you first gave me the answer of deleting the session files that they must've got corrupted during the upgrade, but it seems that v4 just doesn't do a good job of retaining or maintaining those files without getting them corrupt or something.
If this is not an issue with everyone & I'm having it on both my PCs, then v4 has an issue with something that I install on my PCs that, I guess, many others don't although I don't know what that could be and I use everything I install or have running. So, I'm just going back to what works without having to dismantle my config one prog at a time to try to find what v4 may be finicky about.
By the way, I did check & couldn't find any cleaners that run automatically on my PCs.
