Custom Commands and Keyboard shortcuts

Hi,
I have recently added a custom command to Vivado 2015.1 to set the current working directory to the top level folder where the project is stored using this TCL:
cd [string trimright [get_property DIRECTORY [get_projects]] proj]
This allows me run TCL scripts using a simple relative path to a folder in the project containing TCL scripts instead of having to type a long absolute path because Vivado insists on using C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Xilinx/Vivado as it's default working directory (e.g source ./tcl/script.tcl rather than source C:/<long path to folder>/tcl/script.tcl)
I added a keyboard shortcut to this command (in this case Ctrl+Shift+P) to allow to me change the PWD quickly when I need to.
However, every time I open Vivado the keyboard shortcut initially does not work. I press Ctr+Shift+P and nothing happens. In order to get this to work I have to press Alt+T to get the tools menu, then u to get the Customize commands option and then withough clicking anything in this menu, just by opening the menu, the shortcut works.
In short every time I start Vivado afresh, I have to press, Alt+T, u, then Esc, Esc to back out of the menu to get the shortcut to work ( or I can click Tools->Customise Commands and then back out of the menus by using Esc, Esc and it has the same effect).
Can anyone else confirm this?
It feels like it is not recognizing the shortcut until the Customise commands menu has been opened. Is it not loading the shortcut until this menu opens? The whole idea of the shortcut is to avoid having to open the menu every time.
Regards
Simon

  • Random Voice Commands and keyboard shortcuts aren't what they are supposed

    I was just working on my iMac as usual when all of a sudden the speech commands thing just started talking randomly. I went into system prefs but the voice commands thing is off.
    Also, the keyboard functions (F1, F2, etc.) all got changed and no half of them don't work. I also went into system prefs and into keyboard but all of the functions are normal there, but they are not matching up with what happens when I actually push the button. *(For example, F4 is supposed to be dashboard. when I click it, nothing happens. F11 which is decrease volume, when pressed, brings up the dashboard)* once again, everything in system prefs is normal.
    I work for an advertising agency doing layouts and I cannot work like this without my macros working and random voice commands going off everything I push a button.

    Have you gone to System Prefs and unchecked "Use all F1, F2 etc keys as standard function keys?

  • Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image?

    Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image?  The similar keyboard shortcut to assign stars works, but the shortcut to assign a label color doesn't?

    Just to be sure they haven;t been reassigned in your Aperture go to Aperture->Commands->Customize then in the search box in the upper right hand corner enter color.
    You should see the keyboard shortcuts and the corresponding add label commands.
    If they are set then quit Aperture move you preference file to the desktop and restart Aperture. The instructions for moving the preference file can be found at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics

  • How to disable right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?

    Hello All,
    We are currently working on an issue. We want to display a pdf to users but not allow them to save it. Though we are able to hide the menubar and toolbars, the Shortcuts F8, F9 and Ctrl+Shift+S is the undoing of all. The user can still use these shortcuts to enable toolbar and menubar. Can anyone suggest how to disable the right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?
    Thanks in Advance

    Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

  • Photoshop scripts and keyboard shortcuts synchronization

    I use Photoshop CC in multiple computers and would like to find out if there is way to synchronize keyboard shortcuts and photoshop scripts across different computers. Is it possible to synch the scripts folder and keyboard shortcuts through Dropbox for instance?

    Have you tried the syncing capabilities in CC? I have not tried to sync across multiple computeres -- having only one -- but the capabilities to sync preferences and actions seem to be possible. However, I believe 'scripts' and 'actions' are not the same thing so I cannot comment on how this sync process deals with scripts.

    You switch keyboards by going to the " flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

  • Hot Corners and Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

    When disconnecting from my 27" (that I use as a docking station with keyboard and mouse), in some cases my hot corners and keyboard shortcuts stop working.
    F11 does not show the desktop, Ctl-UpArrow does not show mission control. Ctr-left-right arrow does work, as i can still toggle between desktops.
    I know, lots of randomness here...
    A reboot fixes everything.

    I've go a Windows 7 system running CS5 and when I start Photoshop all my shortcuts are working but eventually really important ones like the brush tool sizing stop working. At the moment the only non-adobe/windows app running is iTunes and that have been running the whole time, turning iTunes off does not enable the stortcuts again.
    Has the only conclusion to this problem been to turn off other apps? This has been a problem for me since I upgraded to CS5 and its driving me a little mental !

  • [SOLVED] Custom Copy & Paste Keyboard Shortcuts in Gnome3

    I'm looking for a way to make custom keyboard shortcuts in for the copy and paste functions. Specifically, I want F1 to be Copy. F2 to be Paste.
    (In the future, I'd love to be able to do more, like Find, Cut, adding in frequently used text phrases via one keyboard combo ... in ANY application.)
    Why? Because I use a different keyboard layout, Dvorak. I'm sure other layouts have similar problems. The Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V are all of a sudden two handed operations. Slows me down. I need a non-mouse (I'm aware of the middle-click option), one handed operation solution.
    There's a solution I found for Windows, AutoHotkey. Lets me do this. No Linux alternative as far as I was able to find. The options in the System Settings for Keyboard shortcuts do not include the Copy, Paste, etc functions. I also tried xclip. Works for copy. Just not paste. I can't get it to paste into any X app. I've used every variation of xclip -o I could. It appears that xclip isn't made for this. Nor do any of the other clipboard-like packages appear to be for it either.
    Any suggestions?

    Found a solution!
    xdotool
    Nothing else needed. I just set up custom keyboard shortcuts in the Gnome3 system settings that utilize this command. "xdotool key ctrl+v" will paste. I have that set to F2. "xdotool key ctrl+c" set to F1.
    It can type preset text as well, which I use a lot at work (not so much at home). " xdotool type "Hello world!" "

  • How Many Functions And Keyboard Shortcuts etc. Are Missing From FCE 4 ?

    Seven hours ago I set out to discover the answer to this but I got side-tracked and discovered my camera had a microphone channel missing !
    So is there anything missing from FCE4 ?
    There have been spurious claims that things like "Export to Soundtrack" have been dropped and though the actual command has disappeared the functionality is there in "Export to QuickTime".
    However, I seem to remember Tom saying that a certain keyboard shortcut (which I can't remember) is missing.
    Has anyone noticed any particular items that really have been omitted ? (Don't say Soundtrack or 9GB of LT Media!)

    Hi Ian,
    just to confirm that what you and Tom have found is the same I have so far.
    A comment: while all other commands now missing in the FCE4 contextual menu are available in its standard menus, the Clip Enable command is really a ghost command. Only the control-B keyboard shortcut toggles it, there is no mention of it in any menu, but it appears in Tools/Button List. The online Help mentions a Modify/Clip Enable commands that does not actually exist, but on the other hand it does not mention its keyboard shortcut that in fact works... very clear!

  • Has the command-P keyboard shortcut to print been removed from Pages 5.2?

    Is this just me or has one of the most used keyboard shortcuts been removed from the latest Pages?
    You have to navigate the mouse to File>print...?  No command>P?

    Thanks.  I went to Keyboard in System Preferences and added command+P as print command.  No idea why it disappeared from Pages - but not Safari.
    Back in action.

  • Command P keyboard shortcut broken

    When I type "Command-P" it is now bringing up the Parental Controls preferences instead of the Print dialogue.
    If I restart in "Safe" mode or in a test user account Command-P works to bring up the print dialogue, but when I reboot in my normal user mode it still brings up Parenal Controls.
    This happens inall applications.
    Print still works from the File menu and it still indicates that Command-P should be the keyboard shortcut.

    Can you say anymore about how I would use Activity Monitor to troubleshoot this?
    This doc
    Using Activity Monitor
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342>
    discusses using AM for monitoring memory usage, but it gives the basic idea. You are interested in two items -- the "My Processes" pop-up menu and the list of processes.
    Sort them by name, as shown in the pic, then go through them one by one. You're trying to identify the process responsible for the issue. You may copy the list and paste it into a text editor. Then eliminate those whose functions you can figure out. From the pop-up menu, choose System Processes. That will give you another list; as a first approach, you can eliminate all System Processes from your list. Once you've got the list down to those you don't know and aren't system processes, if you can't find anything obvious (eg, "HotKey Server"), then it's Google time.

  • Another "edit in photoshop" and keyboard shortcut question

    I have both PSCS6 32 bit and 64 bit installed on my computer (usual default installation). When I next installed LR4, it automatically picked PSCS6 64 bit as the default external editor without asking my preference.
    I always use PSCS6 32 bit and not the 64 bit version.
    While I can add the PSCS6 32 bit program as an "additional external editor" and access it from a right click contextual menu for editing an image from LR4, I cannot use the convenient Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut since that will always launch the unwanted PSCS6 64 bit program.
    Is there a way to reestablish this keyboard shortcut convenience for my 32 bit program?
    Thanks in advance!

    Scott,
    There is a registry hack you could try:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html
    That's for making PS show up when it doesn't show up at all, but there's a place to add the path to the executable that you could modify to point to the 32-bit version. You might want to do a checkpoint for System Restore before you start.

  • Command-S keyboard shortcut is not working

    Hi!
    On our (pre-iSight) 17" iMacG5 running 10.4.6 my son (logged in to his own account) can't use the keyboard shortcut Command-S to save documents (confirmed not to work in Pages and TextEdit - both made by Apple). Using the mouse he can select and use the Save command from the Edit meny.
    In all other accounts everything is normal.
    There was a topic called: "Keyboard Shortcut not working" that spanned from Nov 15 to Dec 30, 2005 but the topic was then for some reason archived.
    In this topic the last post stated:
    "Hey!
    Well I kinda have the same problem. It´s just another combo, that´s not working. It is "command+s" for saving files in various apps and it doesnt work in a single app. "Shiftcmds" for "save as" works just fine.
    I did a lot of restarts, checked the keyboard shortcut prefs, repaired permissions but the problem still remains. Anybody an idea what to do? Ersaing any .plist files or something?
    Oh, and it still works when I switch to another user!"
    That user had a MacMini (no details).
    In December 2005 there was no 10.4.6 and the other user had a MacMini, so this has to be a problem NOT with a specific Mac-model or a specific version of the OS.
    Maybe with Apple-software?
    Anyone got a clue!?!?

  • What is the native "Command   Return" keyboard shortcut?

    I need to use the "enter data into multiple fields" function of Microsoft Excel 2008. I'm running Mavericks on a 2010 macbook pro 15 in. I really need to use the "Enter same data in multiple cells" function and do not know how to do it manually. My textbook only shows this shortcut. The shortcut, as of right now, just tabs down the selected cells, as if I'm just pressing enter. I've tried all combinations of function, control, command, shift and enter and none have worked. If I go to keyboard shortcuts in excel > tools > customize keyboard and enter the "command + return" shortcut it says "currently assigned to: a built-in keyboard shortcut". I've gone through the system preferences > keyboard > shortcuts and it is not listed anywhere in there. The shortcut itself has no functionality anywhere when tried in other windows/applications. Super frustrating as it seems like it would be easily fixable. I've tried the drag function and it results in a (null) response. So my assumption, after doing some digging online, is that the "command + return" shortcut is dedicated to some other function. I cannot figure out what its assigned to by default. Any clarification is greatly appreciated!

    You might find better documentation on the HP8508A command structure in the instrument's manual or from HP/Agilent directly.

  • What's up with the Command-9 keyboard shortcut in Mail?

    I’m using Apple Mail 4.2 (1077). If you look up “Keyboard Shortcuts” in Mail’s help, there’s a keyboard shortcut “Command-9” by the entry “Open RSS mailbox”. It doesn’t do anything though. I’m just wondering—was this a feature in the past that was removed, and whose entry in Mail’s help didn’t get edited? Or can I enable it somehow?

    The fix was: Turn off Junk Mail filter
    quit mail
    turn on junk mail filter
    (and reset database for good measure)
