Create keyboard shortcuts

I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut to advance through safari tabs, just like I advance through programs using command tab. I went to system preferences, keyboard shortcuts. The + is no longer there to add shortcuts. Is there a different way to add keyboard shortcuts in mountain lion?

If you have a trackpad or Magic Mouse, consider getting BetterTouchTool, which will give you the ability to create a ton of gestures, such as next tab in safari.
BetterTouchTool will also allow you to create hotkey keyboard shortcuts.

How to create Keyboard Shortcuts to Activate Buttons without the Mouse?

Is there a way to create keyboard shortcuts in HTMLDB like CTRL+N to activate the Create New button, CTRL+S to Save the record, etc?
Thanks.

I haven't tried this myself, but you could always add an attribute to the control called accesskey. Use this link for further information: http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol4/accessibility_no19.htm
If the control is a button you will need to make sure that it is an html button so that you can modify the attributes.

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!

System Preferences->Keyboard; Keyboard Shortcuts is the place to go to add shortcuts to any application.
Select Application Shortcuts and add yours there.

Can you create keyboard shortcuts to open applications?

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to create some keyboard shortcuts to open individual applications but they haven't been working. For example, to open up iTunes, I assigned Command+i. But I'm starting to think this isn't possible in OS X. Is this true? Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Dustin

The Apple Help for Keyboard Shortcuts in "System Preferences" (the Question Mark "?" down at the bottom) says the following: "Note: You can create keyboard shortcuts only for existing menu commands. You cannot define keyboard shortcuts for general purpose tasks such as opening an application or switching between applications."
I use a program called "Quicksilver" from blacktree.com . It is not easy to get used to, but it is quite powerful. To open a program (once Quicksilver is installed properly), you can either set a keyboard shortcut such as "Control-i" (or whatever you want), or use their universal opener "Control-space" and type the first letter or two of the application you want to open and then hit or type open.
My favorite feature of Quicksilver so far is the ability to recover easily any number of previous copies to your clipboard. How many times have I copied something and then before pasting it copied something else by mistake and lost the first thing I copied?!? Quicksilver lets me hit "Control-space" and then open a clipboard history window and scroll down to whatever I want to paste (I have it set for 100 items, pretty excessive, I know!). Cheers!

Creating keyboard shortcuts in Acrobat 9.0 Pro

Is it possible to create own keyboard shortcuts in Acrobat 9.0 Pro?
I have searched for this option, but without success.
The problem is that almost all Adobe programs use "ctrl+ plus sign" to zoom in and "ctrl+ minus sign" to zoom out, just like the Acrobat used to do as well.
Not anymore. Now Zoom in "Ctrl+equal sign" and Zoom out "Ctrl+hyphen". I could use these new ones if they only would work. With these new shortcuts I can zoom in, but the zoom out does not work (I donät use EN keyboard layout).
I want the old shortcuts back. I would really like to see that the Acrobat zooms in and out just like "all" the other Adobe programs do.
Is there a way to create my own keyboard shortcut?

I would like to create my own shortcuts also (especially for extract pages). Someone please advise us on whether this is possible!

Hi All,
Is there a method for a user to create their own keyboard shortcuts in Acrobat 9? Or is there a add-on/program that'll let one do that?

Can't seem to create keyboard shortcuts

I have just purchased a Mac mini and am brand new to Apple so I presume I am running 10.6.2 but if more info is required you may need to direct me a little. My old PC died and I was sold the Mac mini as a drop-in replacement that could use my new screen / keyboard.
I am unable to work out how to create a keyboard shortcut e.g., to associate the 'Home' key with 'Go to beginning of line.' I can get into System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard & Text Input OK. Clicking on the plus sign (Add an application shortcut) beneath the lists brings down the sub-panel with Application | Menu Title | Keyboard Shortcut OK.
The problem is that I can only enter keys from the numeric keypad and arrow key cluster in the Keyboard Shortcut field, but nothing from the main section of the keyboard or the Ins / Del / Home / End / PgUp / PgDn cluster. Not letters, or numbers, or any other keystrokes that I can tell. I just get the system bell.
It is a new Logitech keyboard which I set to US International layout as I work with accented character sets. Any assistance appreciated.

You wouldn't be able to define that specific shortcut anyway. Try using Control-B (Off the top of my head; this page has a full list of them) to move to the beginning of a textfield / line.

Creating Keyboard Shortcuts in Pages '09

I am wanting to create a keyboard shortcut to insert footnotes. Is this possible?

No, you can't assign a short cut for Footnote.

What's that ?
and that :
It doesn't have one from the beginning.
It's really not a problem.
I don't like to change existing shortcuts but adding new ones is really not a problem.
Read carefully the System's Help page dedicated to this subject .

You can use the Automator

or AppleScript

to do such a thing.

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.

Any plugin to create keyboard shortcuts?

Is there a plug-in that will let you create new keyboard shortcuts?
For example, I'd like a keyboard shortcut to quickly open the bookmarks pane. (Ctrl+B opens the bookmark pane, but it also creates a new bookmark at the same time, which I don't appreciate.)

Test Screen Name wrote:
Actually, no. I don't think the original poster is a programmer wanting to create a plug-in. I think he or she wants to buy one. Sorry never heard of one.
Test Screen Name is correct. I'm not a programmer. I'm looking to buy a plug-in if there is one.

Transfering user created keyboard shortcuts

does anyone know of a way to transfer the keyboard shortcuts i created for various apps and system wide from one mac to another?
i've set up quite a few shortcuts and was wondering if there was a way to copy a setting file or something so that i wouldn't have to input them all again??
thanks in advance,
abe

You can probably just copy and transfer the applications preference (.plist) files from one user account/computer to the other.
But since you gave us no indication as to which apps you're talking about, nobody here can tell you with any certainty that moving those files will do the trick.

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.

Created Keyboard Shortcut Disappears

I added a "command+s" keyboard shortcut for the Compress option under File/Finder via System Preferences.
Every now and then the shortcut disappears from the right of the "Compress" option in the Finder. It seems that the only way to bring it back is to select the shortcut I created under Keyboard Shortcut/System Preferences.
Any ideas why the shortcut I created is being flaky?

I tried creating a few different key combos with my current account and also created a new user account and did the same procedure. No difference.
If I am in Finder, the shortcut will appear. But once I select an item to be compressed from the desktop or any other internal and external hard drive, regardless of the location, the short cut disappears.
Any idea why this is happening?
