  • Create keyboard shortcuts for different mailboxes?

    How can I create keyboard shortcuts to "Get Mail" from individual email accounts? (ie NOT all accounts at once). I'm sure I did it in the Panther version of Mail – by using the Keyboards Sys Pref – but I can't seem to get it to work this time...
    Thanks!

  • Strikethrough shortcut for Apple Mail?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut for strikethrough in Apple Mail?
    Having to open fonts (CMD + T) and then pull down the strikethrough menu > Single is extremely long winded when you are trying to edit a document.
    Does anyone have a simple command like CMD + B is for BOLD.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    I FOUND TWO SOLUTIONS!
    TextSoap - new version #7 also allows you to striketrough text system wide.
    Keyboard Maestro macro maker which a lot of people are using in replace Quickeys works too.
    There is an example macro in the Macro Library, in the Text section, called Red Strikethrough that copies the text, applies red foreground, and strikethrough attribute to the clipboard, and then pastes the text.
    Insert that macro from the macro library and remove the red foreground, or create it yourself:
    Type the ⌘C Keystroke
    Apply Style to Clipboard: Set strikethrough to solid single.
    Type the ⌘V Keystroke
    Hope that helps.

  • Keyboard shortcut for opening mail messages

    i'd like to be able to open email messages using a keyboard shortcut. i suspect i'm being thick, but I can't seem to find a way to do that. (i tried the keyboard shortcut function in system preferences, but because there is no "open" menu command, I couldn't create a shortcut.) Much obliged for any help.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I too would be interested in a keyboard shortcut to open new email messages. Do any of you Mail pros have an idea to help us out with this?
    Thanks!

  • How do I set  keyboard shortcut for 'Get Mail'?

    Went to system preferences - keyboard - shortcuts - App shortcuts and added Mail.app
    Get Mail        cmd  G
    However, it doesn't work.  It just makes a nasty noise when I'm in mail and use the shortcut.

    The command is Get New Mail. It already has a keyboard shortcut, Shift-Command-N. Command-G is already used for Find Next (i.e., find the next occurrence of a find text).

  • Is there a way to create a rule for Apple Mail that when a certain person is a recipient, make the email plain text?

    My boss has a blackberry and when I send pdf attachments and copy him, he cannot see the attachments.  I forget to make the email plain text before sending it to him.  I can use Thunderbird as my client and it works fine but it is not linked to the other apps on my mac like Apple Mail.  Can I make a rule or something for Mail so that when his email address is a recipient of the email, it will send as plain text to him?

    I don't think so. Not without setting up an AppleScript and I am not proficient with those.
    You can, however, set the follolwing in Mail > Preferences > Composing
    Responding: Use the same message format as the original message.
    But that would only be for responding to messages sent from his Blackberry.

    Hi,
    I would use IP Address range boundaries instead which I normally do anyway instead for the AD site.

  • How do i create keyboard shortcuts for the different markup colours?

    I want to be able to quickly highlight with different colours in the preview app.

    You didn't read my post. You merely read your preconceived notion of what I posted.
    If you want to pop up menus and type letters, turn on the functions to activate the menus in the Keyboard & Text Input of Keyboard Shortcuts.
    You can then activate the menus, type letters of the menu to select the one you want, then type letters for the menu items to select those. Once selected, arrow down or space to drop the menu or activate a hierarchical submenu.
    These items allow you to activate the various menus, Dock, toolbars, etc.
    They are default to Function keys (in order), but I changed mine to things that make sense.

  • Power on button or keyboard shortcut for Apple LED Cinema Display

    Does anyone know how to power on a MacBook Pro that has the case closed and is connected to the new Apple 24 LED Cinema display?
    I know pressing the keyboard will wake it from sleep, but sometimes I have to shut down completely.
    I'd like to power up with a keyboard command. Keyboard is the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad which doesn't have a power on key.

    When the computer if off (not just sleeping) there is no power to USB devices, so the keyboard will have no power. Without power, none of the keys can do anything.

  • Create keyboard shortcut to flag messages colors other than read

    I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to flag messages in Apple Mail a color other than red. (I've created smart folders associated with different color flags; I want to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to quickly flag an item so that it moves to the right smart folder.)
    I've gone to system preferences/keyboard/keyboard shortcuts/application shorts and created new shortcuts for Apple Mail. )Control-option-command-o is one.) The 'All Controls' tab is clicked at the bottom. However, the commands don't work.
    The instructions above suggest that it should be adding a new command to the menu. I don't see anything new though. Should there be something somwhere?
    Thank you in advance for your help with this question. Any suggestions you have would be great appreciated.

    Hello,
    When adding a keyboard shortcut for Mail :
    Type in "Menu Title" the menu item exactly as it appears in the application menu, for example "Orange";
    In the "Keyboard Shortcut" press the key combination you want to associate.
    You'll perhaps have to restart application for the new shortcut to have effect.
    Regards.

  • Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
    It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
    Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
    Thanks!

    Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
    fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

  • How: create keyboard shortcuts in Lion-Safari and Preview

    I've been trying to create a keyboard shortcut for Preview (and perhaps it would work in Safari) so that when I click command and arrow up, the cursor will jump to the top of the document. For example, I'm reading on page 450 of a pdf file and want to go back to the top I'd have to grab the tiny, tiny doodah on the right side of the page and drag it all the way up. In Windows (I do have two Macs and two Windows PCs) you click on control-up arrow and it happens. I tried to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Lion and it does let me do it, but it doesn't work.
    I click on System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, Application Shortcuts. It gives me a choice to add a shortcut by clicking on the plus sign, then I I select Preview and it gives me the choice to write the Menu Title (this is probably the problem) and I write gototop (go to the top of document) and then on Keyboard Shortcut I press command and the up arrow. But it doesn't work. Where do I find the Menu Titles for all programs?
    Thank you.
    Roxy

    Glad it helped.
    There is a page on the Apple site that has all the keyboard shortcuts grouped by function/application.
    Don;t have the URL in front of me now but if you poke around you should find it. There are a lot of nice features in there (like these) and is worth looking at.

  • How do I create a keyboard shortcut for a nested finder menu item?

    Specifically I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut for Finder>Services>Mail>Send File.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    pmasitti,
    Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, click on the "+" sign. From the drop-down menu choose Application: Finder, Menu Title: "Send File" (without the quotes), Keyboard Shortcut: whatever.
    Close system System Preferences and quit the Finder for the change to take effect. You can easily quit and relaunch the Finder from the Apple Menu > Force Quit. Select Finder and click on the Relaunch button.
    For the action to complete, select the Finder item before pressing your keyboard short cut.
    Worked for me... good luck!
