CS4: Disable Spacebar Shortcut for Timeline/Frame Playback?

I am currently making an animation using Frames (Window > Animation, and setting it to Frames instead of Timeline), and I often use Spacebar + drag to pan across the canvas. However, quickly pressing Spacebar plays the animation... Is there any way to disable this feature?
I tried looking in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > Panel Menus > Animation (Frames/Timeline), but all of the shortcuts are blank and there doesn't even seem to be an option for anything like "Play Animation."

Hi there -
If you go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, and select "Panel Menus" from the "Shortcuts For" dropdown menu, you can set (or change) shortcuts for the Timeline panel.
**EDIT: Couldn't seem to find the spacebar shortcut for play/stop in this menu...still trying to find a solution for you. Alternatively, you can uncheck Enable Timeline Shortcuts Keys from the Timeline panel to disable the shortcuts.

Disable spacebar shortcut for playing animation?

I'm trying out Photoshop's ability to work with movies for the first time, and it's been a deeply frustrating experience because of the shortcut used for playing the animation.
In theory, tapping spacebar is supposed to play the movie, while holding spacebar gives you the hand tool. Unfortunately, there seems to be a huge lag, because if I hold the spacebar, quickly move the canvas, and let go, the movie starts playing. This is making it pretty much impossible to work, and I can't find anything in Keyboard Shortcuts that would let me disable this. How do I turn off this functionality?

It's driving me mad also!! How to dehactivate spacebar for animation??

Reassign keyboard shortcut for timeline playback

How can I reassign the keyboard shortcut for playback on the animation timeline? Right now it is the spacebar. If I hold the spacebar, it switches to the move tool. If I tap it, it plays back my animation. Too often I accidentally tap for playback when I just want to use the move tool. I'd much rather have the two be separate keys altogether.
I use Photoshop CS5 Extended on Windows 7.

Spacebar shortcut for hand tool not working in Photoshop CC - have tried closing all other programs

The spacebar shortcut for hand tool is not working in Photoshop CC - as suggested in this form & others I have tried closing all other programs with no result. I have also reset photoshop to default settings & this did not make any difference either.

There may be a software conflict. I went through this today. When I did a search in Adobe foruns actually found tha answer on the Illustrator forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1027227?
What the problem for me was an app called - 1Password. I had opened it, but not given my password to login and it was on in the background. As soon as I quit 1Password, the spacebar Hand Tool worked.
Then I opened 1Password again, and logged in. This time the spacebar works.
Others mentioned conflict with Spotify. And Chrome too. Couple other things. Read that thread in the link above.
Good luck!

I've just bought Photoshop CC and the spacebar shortcut for the hand tool isn't working?

I've googled solutions for the problem and most of them say that I need to close down the other programmes I have open, as well as photoshop, and then restart the programme so I tried this and nothing seems to work. The hand tool by itself works but I much prefer using the spacebar shortcut as I need to work fast and it's much easier.
Is there a way I need to activate the spacebar shortcut seeing as I bought the software this morning?
Thanks

I had this same issue and a restart would NOT fix the problem, neither would reseting the prefs, or any of the other solutions mentioned in this post. I discovered the problem to be the Terminal application was automatically opening on login, which had the "Secure Keyboard Entry" option enabled. (Terminal menu item->Secure Keyboard Entry (check marked)) If I quit Terminal without disabling "Secure Keyboard Entry", the spacebar in Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop would work as expected. Although, if I restarted with Terminal still loading automatically with "Secure Keyboard Entry" enabled then the spacebar would NOT work until I quit the Terminal app. The problem is that when the computer logs into the user account and starts the Terminal app it hides the keyboard entry from other applications. Somehow Adobe products are now sensitive to this and the spacebar stops working as is should. So, the solution is to either make sure Terminal is not to load automatically at login, or disable the "Secure Keyboard Entry" option in Terminal and only enable it as needed. Be sure to disable it when your are no longer using the terminal. I have never seen this before and have been using Adobe products on OS X since its release, but I have not always used the Terminal as I do now in such a secure way. Thanks again governments and criminals for even further complicating our lives!

Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...

I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
Hope this helps out!!

No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

How to disable keyboard shortcut for Type-And-Transfer

Hi,
I'm trying to create a macro in Excel that I want to use the ctrl+shft+h keyboard shortcut. However, Lenovo's Type-and-Transfer tool has hijacked that shortcut so everytime I try to use the shortcut within Excel it launches the Type-and-Transfer tool. I've looked everywhere and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to disable this keyboard shortcut from launching the Type-and-Transfer tool. Anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
jd

Hi,
here is what I would check in:
Registry:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LENOVO
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo
<sorry as I don't havea system with this shortcut type I cannot find the exact same key combination>
My second thought is going more in the direction of an application, that is called Keyboard Customizer
Try this one, if that will fit your request.
Let me know any update, that you can give on this situation.
Cheers

Is there any shortcut for "View Frame Info" instead of right click -- This Frame -- View Frame Info.

Frequently it is needed to see frame info.
So if any shortcut is available please let me know.

Dear Bob,
I downloader a VLS Streamer from the Apple app store. It requires some kind of helper software to run, which, as far as I can tell from the video at the developer's site, allows one to download content from one's mobile device to their computer. Since I don't have a compatible computer for my iPad to link to, the instructions don't help my situation. I emailed them with my query and will probably hear from them sometime this week.
I've lived with this problem for the 3 months I've had my iPad, and I'll keep after it until I have a solution. But right now, I've run out of steam. If this lead helps me to resolve my issue, I'll come back and HELPFUL or RESOLVED every response you've given. I'm very grateful for your help. Sorry I'm so utterly clueless.
Thanks once again. Please don't cringe if I get back to you another day.

Photoshop CS6 spacebar shortcut for hand tool stopped working. How do I get it to work?

I just bought a new IMac and finshed downloading my new cs6 photoshop. I notice my spacebar no longer scrolls/ pans anymore. A bit annoying, that how I am use to doing my work. How Do I fix the problem?

I ve already restarted it twice hoping that would be the issue but still won't work

Sequencing images in iphoto slideshow for photo frame playback via flash drive

I have created a slide show in iphoto and saved it to a flash drive. I want the show to play in a particular sequence. On the computer that works. When playing the show via the flash drive on my Pandigital Photo Frame, however, the images randomize. The images have numbered filenames, and the shuffle function on the photo frame is turned off. What do I need to do differently?

When I connected the frame to the computer, no photo files showed, not even when I added the flash drive to the frame.
The sequence of the files on the flash drive is numerical, just what I am after. Something seems to be happening within the frame. In addition, while I have placed no files into the frame's internal memory, and none show up, when I play the slideshow, files that I once had in the slideshow file but later deleted, still appear!?

[IDCS4] Space bar shortcut for hand doesn't work

I am experiencing following problem:
I have written a startup script that shows a floating panel (it is a window that uses 'palette' as a type description). I also added menu item and listeners to show/hide it (in menu window). Inside the panel there is a flex application that communicates with InDesign via ExternalInterface (no PatchPanel). Whenever I start InDesign with this script as startup script suddenly spacebar stops working as a shrotcut that temporarily changes used tool to Hand Tool. Even closing InDesign and removing startup script and restarting InDesgin doesn't help, I need to logout and login again to make spacebar work. I am experiencing this issue on MacOSX 10.4 on Intel Mac, InDesign 6.0.5 and script is written in ExtendScript.
I also found that running the startup script from scripts panel seems to solve the problem, but this is rather undesired, since the panel should be available from InDesign startup...
Has anybody of you experienced the same behaviour? Maybe there is some sort of programatic fix? It drives me mad, because I am used to spacebar as a temporary hand. Of course if there is no other fix, I'll need to find some sort of hack that performs initialization after startup, but this is rather undesired
Thanks in advance for your help and expertise

After some investigation I can tell that aforementioned bahaviour is most probably caused by opening the INDD file by using AIR API (file.openWithDefaultApplication()). When file is opened by user this behaviour is not observed, but when INDD is opened from AIR application, it results with disabling spacebar shortcut. What is even more strange, the shortcut is disabled not only in InDesign, but also in Illustrator. Photoshop works fine...
Geez, Adobe, you're giving me so much headache...

CS4-How to create a shortcut for media browser icon clean up function?

Hi again.
I recently upgraded my system, now running CS4 suite in Window 7 - 64bits. This to be able to manage AVCHD files within premiere.
I'm just starting to work with it and I'm missing the ability to create a shortcut for this function I had in PP2 cs2. I did go to the recommended reading before posing my question. There the most appropriate area I could find was about Bins Behaviours, at least I thought it was, and there was nothing in it.
I have gone to Edit / keyboard customization then each of the 3 choices, application, panels and tools. but could not see "Clean Up"
I hope someone has an answer for me as I like to use this panel as a story board and use this function often and thank those who will try to help me.
(I'm pleased that my avchd files are now coming nicely on the timeline!)_
