Create new shortcuts

I am trying to create a shortcut for Mini Bridge. All is well until I get to the point of typing in the shortcut itself. When I create the new shortcut as Control+Option+Command+O, I type it in on my keyboard. However that doesn't work. I hit the Command key and nothing happens.
Exactly how does one type in a shortcut?
Thanks,
Roberta Margolis

Hi Roberta,
Keyboard shortcuts are entered in all at once.
To create a new shortcut you need to select the menu item you want to create a shortcut too, and then press down the keys you want to be in the shortcut.
You need to hold down modifiers first (command, shift, control, option, alt, etc…), and then press your letter, number, or other symbol (A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, [,] …).

Is it possible to create new shortcuts for pages esp footnote

Hi
Is it possible to create shortcuts in Pages? Hidden preferences?
I'd like to have something for inserting footnotes.

Thanks for hints

Martin, it's possible to create shortcuts for any menu item in any OS X application. You do this by going to the System Preferences, in the Keyboard and Mouse pane, under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. See this posting for more details.
This is an extremely powerful feature of OS X, and it is unfortunate that is it not better known.

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.

Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too?

Cannot get Keyboard Shortcuts or create new

After updating to iOS 7.0.6 my iPhone 5S lost all keyboard shortcuts.
I am currently not able to get them from iCloud or even create new ones. After saving a new one it does not appear under the shortcuts and is not working with the keyboard.
I have tried suggestions on the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3991 as well as resetting iCloud and restarting the phone multiple times.
Any suggestions would be welcome at this point.
Thank you.

Ok, good news, here is a solution that works!!
This I have tested individually (to confim) with my 2 iphones and the iPad that wouldn't sync properly keyboard shortcuts via iCloud. You can do the below for all your device at once, too.
Go here and follow the instructions (easy): http://allezxandre.clarify-it.com/d/dhvzkz
if you backup and restore via the above method, none of your settings/apps will be deleted, everything stays intact
After restoring, turn off "Documents and Data" under your iCloud settings and hard reset devices (home + lock)
Then log into icloud.com, go to Account Settings, Advanced, click on Reset Documents and Data
Turn on "Documents and Data" in your iCloud Settings (device) and again reboot
Check "Documents and Data" setting, status may have changed (on/off)
You may have to repeat 4. and 5. - I had to with one of the iPhone as the status would have a mind of it's own, but eventually the keyboard shortcuts will be back. On all devices.
The above takes roughly an hour with all the backups, restores etc. BUT it's non intrusive, ie. your device data and settings aren't touched!

C5-00 adding new shortcuts, creating shortcuts to ...

In this phone, when i use "home screen", none of the seçene options permits me to add new shortcut. In Settings - Personalization - Stand by mode - Shorcuts
i can only change the shortcut link. But i can't add more shortcuts (
In my previous Nokia classic phone, when i click left button, "shortcuts" were opening.
I can freely add shortcuts to the features like, calculator, create new message, browser etc
When i try to assign some link to "left button" i can't find something like "shortcuts".
I want to make shortcuts of my favorite applications (create new message, ovi maps, calculator, opera mini, new calendar event) and put them in somewhere, where i can find open them easily.
Is there any way? Without removing the applications where they remain..

well, "search" can make me find the applications, but by typing their names.
But when we use "go to" the places of icons are constant, and i can memorize them and access them more easily.
but it seems like there is no option of "go to".
Thank you

And what is wrong with using a remote connection?
Ideally I would like to implement it in an API tool that would create Oracle Databases for an API with specific prescriptions once give DBName and Password .
Thus I think for an API tool to create remote shell connection maybe is an anti-pattern from Software Architecture
e.g. I already red from Microsoft Doc that PSEXEC is sometime blocked from antiviruses
But it was just a question, I may not do it, as informed, that companies having Oracle DB, usually have an Oracle DBA, and an Oracle DBA some times may not let anyone touch the Databases on the Server. Also Oracle DB Server might be on different Operating Systems while the API tool will always be Windows
The method you use will necessarily be somewhat dependent on the OS of the server. If Windows, what's wrong with using Windows Remote Desktop? If *nix, as explained in your several other threads swirling around this question, use a putty session to connect ... then, if needed for a GUI utility like dbca, runInstaller, etc, just set up an x-server on your local machine and enable x-11 port forwarding in your putty session.
You really are trying to make all of this much more difficult than it need be.
Hmm... so in Windows a remote seems the only solution, except the one RichardHarisson proposed if you already have a Database set up. For Unix I can promote the port forwarding method you recomended. Thank you.
Sorry I just finished my University and make my 1st internship on the Oracle DB Layer of Applications in Western Europe.
P.S.
There is no such a need but I would find it a personal good exercise in understanind these connections-administration issues under different OS to try create an API tool that creates DB on other PC of different OS once you chosen the OS of the Server.
+ I promess not to follow it with a flood of threads agains : P I already became better in finding what I need through docs, lol

How to create a shortcut for a new application?

I have made an application. I did a blankform too, which is the 1st form to start. Now I`d like to know how to create a shortcut that this form will start from a win desktop. What to write in the shortcut`s target (the path to the blankform- thats the name of it)!

Well, if it's forms 10g, you can simply add the URL in your favourites and open it by selecting it from favourites menu of internet explorer.

Creating a Shortcut on a Mac Desktop

Hi everyone. I'm sure this has a very simple answer, but me being a newbie to using a
Mac computer, I need some help. I've set up a server for my home network with a
Static IP of 192.168.2.10 .
It was simple to create shortcuts for my computer and my sister's, because I've used
Microsoft since it was DOS, and my sister's is Windows XP. I simply created a shortcut
and then typed in the network address, it being "\\192.168.2.10\Music" in Windows.
But my mom has a Mac, and I need to create an alias (I think it's called) that would lead
to the server from it. I've searched all through the internet, and all I can find is something
to the effect of this:
1. Launch your Finder and look for the program that you want to create the alias for.
2. Highlight this file and select "Make Alias".
3. Drag the Alias to the desktop.
My problem is that there is not an icon displayed that links to the server.
Is there some kind of Properties box where I can manually enter the network path?

Hi,
First off, putting stuff (links/aliases, files, folders) on a Mac Desktop is not good practice, because it leads to some extra work on the CPU, since the Desktop is a folder like others, OS X will index all its content every time your Mom starts her Mac.
This said, the best way to make an alias easy to use is to place it in the Dock via drag-n-drop, not on the Desktop. If placed in the Dock, your alias will always be within reach. All you have to do is locate the server folder you want to share in the Finder, and drag it to rightmost part of the Dock, where there are already some folders such as Applications, Documents, Downloads, etc...
Alternately, you can also create a new Shared item in the left pane of your main Finder window. In the Finder preferences, you can also choose to show all connected servers on the Desktop, which can come in handy too.
You may have to restart the Finder (or reboot the Mac, or just log out and back in) for the latter to take effect.
Oh, I almost forgot: you can also copy and paste the folder in question in the Desktop folder (left pane in the Finder main window), and it'll appear on the Desktop itself.

How can I create a shortcut to launch an external application?

Hello, I'm developing app in Swing where I want to create a shortcut for any external application, I'm able to get the .exe path, and an icon path (in .png format), is there a way to create a "shortcut" or button and assign the icon and the .exe path to run it? This is what I have to get the .exe path:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"" + jTextField2.getText() + "\"");
Where jTextField takes the value from a JFileChooser value, doing the same for the icon, then I could do this for a button to assign the icon:
ImageIcon img1 = new ImageIcon("C:\\image.png");
jButton7.setSize(64, 64);
jButton7.setIcon(img1);
But I havent' found any way to make the button (or any kind of shortcut) to execute the program, I could go and create a method to do it on click or ActionPerformed, but the idea is to do all this when I finish the create the shortcut, I hope you can understand me, I'm kinda confused, so far, I can launch the app but I want to create a new button/shortcut everytime I need to add an external app, thanks in advanced!!!

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.

I am trying to create a shortcut to add to my taskbar but it will not let me drag it there since it is pinned to firefox

I like to have certain shortcuts on my task bar for easy access. I have created a shortcut for my email address and it is on the desktop but when I try to drag it to my task bar, it will not stay because the message says it is pinned to Firefox. Is there a way to move my address to the task bar?

I have had some success! But not much . I restarted the adsl router and was assigned an ip address for my MBP and could connect to the internet through the new wireless network. Yee-ha. But when I try to add additional devices to that network they will not connect unless I restart the adsl router each time. Also when I disconnect and try reconnect my MBP to the new wireless network we are back to square one unless I restart the router. So it looks like it is a router issue. I would be really grateful for any suggestions as to what I should change on the adsl router?? It is a TP-Link TDW8961ND.

Create new folder with selected items

I have a bunch of movies that I would like to place into individual folders of the same name (Without the extension name). I wanted to try and create a keyboard command to do this with the selected files, but can't manage to figure out how!
What I did was try to create a new service command in automator, then went to keyboard shortcuts in system preferences to assign a keyboard command to it.
I want to make something that works like control-command-n (to create new folder from selected items), only I want the items to be in individual folders of the same name.
eg.
Files selected such as:
The incredibles.avi
Cinderella.mkv
Dogma.mp4
each moved into individual folders labeled as:
The Incredibles
Cinderella
Dogma
Also, is there a way to change the control-command-n shortcut so it can create a new folder from a single item? It only works when there is more than one file selected.
Thanks so much for any help!

I am going to guess that you start off with a single file - what are you doing to generate these files? My *Get Names of Finder Items* action can get a name to use in the *New Folder* action - items passed to the New Folder action will get copied to it, so a little more detail may help in creating the workflow.
The *Dispense Items Incrementally* action can also be used to dole out the items one at a time - knowing what the workflow is doing would help with the use of this action as well.
