Ctrl-Tab shortcut for Mac?

In GoLive on Windows, you could easily switch between the windows in GoLive by using Ctrl-Tab (aka "Show Next Window in Workspace" or similar in GL9 on Windows). This doesn't work in the OS X version, so what I am wondering is if there is some way to reproduce this behaviour in OS X.
Recently converted to a Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.2, so if there is a built-in keyboard shortcut for this, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Go to System Preferences (in the Apple menu) and choose International. There choose Input Menu. At the bottom of the dialog you find a button called Keyboard Shortcuts. There you will find the most commoon once that are universal for all apps. Cmd+< takes you between open windows in active application (if you have a US keyboard layout).

How to set mac shortcuts (for mac and windows OS)

i am having a bit of an issue.
i run windows 7 and mac os on the same computer on different hard drives in this computer. i also have a "mac" keyboard. i am not sure how this may be different from a "windows keyboard" but the point is i need to use this keyboard because it matches the one on my laptop which is a mac.
when i switch to windows on this machine i always end up deleting information because the CMD + X and CMD + V cut and paste shortcuts on Mac OS are not the same in windows. windows requires (currently) CTRL + X and CTRL + V. so when i got to cut and paste in windows CTRL + X (this is my habitual way of working) and then i run a CTRL + V i end up writing /over/ the text i selected with a "x" and i end up pasting /over/ the text i selected to paste over with a "v". this is because instead of running a cut and paste, this set of shortcuts in windows simply enters "x" and "y" respectively since the shortcut is not active.
does anyone know where i set these in windows OS and in mac OS?
also, does anyone know if it is possible to set how many UNDOS i can do in either of these OS's or to know how many i can in fact undo?
THANKS
long story background:
1. while i may move to a windows keyboard on the computer i am using (because the mac keyboards these days end up losing keys and they end up very wobbly) i cannot do this for the laptop machine so this may not make a lot of sense if i end up also running windows on the laptop which is my intention at some point.
2. CTRL + X is a very long stretch on the mac keyboard so rather than switching mac shortcuts to accommodate windows shortcuts i am thinking to switch windows shortcuts to mac ATM.
3. this is no small issue! i just went to copy and paste this text so i could save it for myself in order to explain to someone else and i ended up overwriting with a "c". if i had not thought fast and remembered to UNDO by hitting CTRL - X and not CMD - X i might have lost all my work.

long delay - no email of your post here
I also realise that you can use system preferences - Keyboard - modifier keys to make cmd = ctrl or vice versa
I'd surely ask/read elsewhere about altering windows, given the reach issue - but no qualms beyond confusion if switching/using other machines. You might soon find you switch layouts mentally, quite easily.

You don't necessarily need netcfg to get networking. But I used it before for my wireless on my laptop, so I just used the same on my desktop too. Also if you want to do things like this its easier rather than have to go digging around with macspoof and what not. your netcfg eth0 file could be something like
PRE_UP='ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='dhcp'
If you use a different interface then obviously, you need to change it accordingly

Change tabbing shortcut for controls

Is there a way to change the tabbing shortcut to the Enter key, instead of using the Tab key? And is it possible to set the tabbing order for controls?
Thanks,
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would advise against it as using the Tab key for navigation has been standardized for a long time. But you could use the Key Down? filter event in an event stucture to modify a keys behaviour. Specifically if someone hits the enter key pass 9 to Char and ASCII to VKey. You could also use this to disable the tab key.

Tab shortcut on Mac

I am new to the Mac as I just swtiched from a PC. One of the shortcuts I used a lot on the PC/Windows side was the ability to tab to a Yes/No/Cancel dialog box. For instance when I was closing an application and there were changes to the document and a dialog box would show up and I could tab through the available options and hit enter on the selected one (saves time from reaching for the mouse).
Does the Mac OS have this ability?
I am assuming it is OK to post under this heading.

Open system prefs, then go to keyboard. Change the option below to "ALL" - This will set it up like your used to on a PC

HT1343 How about keyboard shortcuts for Mac Book Air, which has a different keyboard?

Mac Book Air has a diffent keyboard layout and some of the shortcuts aren't applicable. Please rectify.

Hi Lanny,
I understant that, but if I complain to Apple on the feedback, nothing will happen for a million years.
Here things are visible to the wide Apple Users and hopefully get sorted.
Apple representatives are welcome to reply and post that the shortkey list is updated to include all the diferent Apple Keyboards.
Thanks,

Multi-tab operation: viewing PDF causes loss of keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Tab

When operating with tabs and one tab is viewing a PDF file, trying to toggle to another tab with the Ctrl+Tab shortcut works going TO the PDF tabbed page, but not AWAY from the PDF tabbed page. I must use the pointer device to actually select a non-PDF tabbed page.

Known problem in Firefox where a Plugin "grabs focus" when the Plugin is using a Tab. More noticeable with Flash than with the Adobe PDF Plugin.
The developers are working on fixing that issue in the Firefox 4.0 betas, so that problem might be fixed when Firefox 4.0 is released next month.
For the time being, you are going to have to restore "focus" by clicking somewhere in the browser window.

How can I create a keyboard shortcut to export to pdf in Pages for Mac

Can anyone explain how to create a keyboard shortcut that works in pages?

Reluctant as I am to contradict Viking OS X, yes it is possible.
This is for Yosemite, it is slightly different in other versions of OS X.
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > + > Applications > Pages > Menu Title: PDF… > Keyboard Shortcut > hold down whatever combination you want > Add
As Viking says this won't choose Good, Better, Best but at least it gets you to that point. Unfortunately it always defaults to Good.
NB that PDF… has to be typed with ALL CAPS and the ellipsis is option ; or copy from here. It has to be literally what is in the menu.
You could make a more intelligent keyboard shortcut with 3rd party Apps like Spark [free] or QuicKeys or iKey or Shortcuts for Mac or Keyboard Maestro.

Unable to operate tab shortcut keys for safari

I am using Safari 4.0.2.
All is working good except the *Tab shortcuts for safari*.
Problem: Tab shortcuts does not work every time. It works very less time.
*What I did to solve the problems?*
1) Re-Checked the necessary shortcuts in the preferences pane but nothing happened.
2) Re-installed Safari
3) Also did reset to Safari.
I did not understand what has happened to it.
Please help me with it.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
A corrupt preference file may be causing the Command T problem, or perhaps you created a keyboard shortcut for Command/T.
If you didn't alter the keyboard shortcuts, trash the preference file.
Via the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. This resets Safari preferences to default values. Restore any custom settings in either the Preference panel, Edit Menu (spelling), or View Menu. Also, restore any custom icons on the toolbar via the Customize Toolbar option.
Also, the reset adds Apple default bookmarks to your Bookmarks collection (command/option/B keys). Delete any you don't want.

Keyboard shortcut for navigating through individual windows

Is there a keyboard shortcut associated with moving through different windows open at the same time....?
We all know about using the Ctrl + Tab keys for moving through individual tabs. What about moving through individual windows?
Thanks in advance!

Change keyboard shortcuts for zoom

Hi
When looking at the keyboard shortcuts for MAC, the 100% zoom is down as command alt '0', yet it is showing in the dropdown list as 'n'?
Is there a way of changing the shortcuts. Previously the 100% zoom was simply command (apple) '0', which is now fit to page.
Can anyone help with how to change the short cuts please?
Cheers
G

See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4947053?tstart=0
There was a change to a bizarre shortcut of Fn+n for 'View > 100%' (equivalent to the previous 'View > Actual Pixels' which had shortcut Cmd+1) when Retina compatibility was introduced a few months ago.

What is the shortcut for "next group tab" (usually ctrl+`) on an AZERTY keyboard?

I don't manage to find the shortcut for "next group tab". I have an AZERTY keyboard and the one found on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly doesn't work for me. I also tried using an addon to rebind it but it doesn't work either (addon used : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/ ).
Thanks for any help.:)

Good news! Yes, that is the same as Apple (=command) + [ on the US keyboard. It just takes a lot more keys, shift plus alt plus ( , to make the [ on the French keyboard.

After Firefox has been on for awhile, the Firefox tabs on the task bar disappear even though the pages are still running. I have to use Ctrl+Tab to fix it

I have started using Firefox recently. My computer is running XP. I notice that whether I have one Firefox window or multiple windows open, after awhile the Firefox tabs on the bottom task bar just disappear.
In order to get them back I have to use Ctrl+Tab to select each window one at a time and then they re-appear again on the task bar. Then after awhile they will disappear again.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.
