Custom keyboard issue

Hello,
For a logging shortcut, I attempted to change the "label" yellow (as well as the other labels / colors) from cmd-opt 2, to just "2" with no modifier, but instead when I press 2, it just takes me to the first clip in the browser, rather than labeling the selected clip as yellow / good. What can I do to make this custom label shortcut work?
I believe I followed the the custom keyboard steps correctly. First I cleared the cmd-opt 2 shortcut and replaced with 2 (no modifier). It then showed 2 as the only shortcut for labeling yellow / good.
I really appreciate any insight you may have.
Thanks!

several unmodifed keys will have default behaviors in different windows that may override your custom commands. For instance, typing numbers in the canvas or timeline will default to timecode entry, while in the browser, numbers and letters will move the selection to the corresponding clip name. Using unmodified numbers for label assignment is probably not the best way to go, particularly considering that there are probably many other behaviors for this key with which you would not want to interfere. However, it is possible to assign different shortcuts for the number keypad on an extended keyboard, and the row of numbers on the top of the "standard" portion of the keyboard. You might try those keys, but I'd really recommend using some modifier for such shortcuts.

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working In Layer Style / Blending Options Dialogue Box (Mac OS 10.6.8)

In the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, my custom Keyboard Shortcuts to zoom in and out of the image is no longer working. Cmd+opt+shift+1 acts as cmd+1 (jumps to Drop Shadow), and cmd+opt+shift+0 acts as cmd+0 (jumps to Stroke). Outside of this box the commands seem to be working fine.
Example 1: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+1.
Result 1: The dialogue box shift focus to the Drop Shadow Options instead of the image zooming in to 100%.
Expected Result 1: The image should zoom to 100%.
Example 2: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+0.
Result 2: The dialogue box shift focus to the Stroke Options instead of the image zooming to “Fit on Screen”.
Expected Result 2: The image should zoom to “Fit on Screen”.
This same thing happened in the CS5 Beta, and it was quickly fixed, so I hope this is not a complicated issue.
Thanks, and keep up the wonderful work!

Safari 5.1 customized keyboard shortcut not working

I've just updated safari on snow leopard and my customized keyboard shortcut: go to next/previous panel (ctrl -> and ctrl <-) don't work anymore even if i set them in my system preferences

I'm also experiencing issues with custom keyboard shortcuts not working after the update to Safari 5.1. I had no problems with the previous version of Safari.... I wish I had not updated.

Frustrated with HP lame reason for not repairing a keyboard issue

I recently called HP about a keyboard issue, where a the backspace key popped up and became detactched from the keyboard because the small latch broke under normal use. HP asked me to send the notebook back to them for replacement of the entire keyboard. When it got there, the case manager called back to tell me that they would not fix the keyboard because there was evidence of something being spilled on it. Although I don't recall any major spill on the keyboard I didn't deny that coffee drops may have reached the keyboard, nontheless that is not their concern and does not relate in anyway to the problem I resported to them. Yet HP refused to replace the keyboard and sent back as is. I must mention that the machine is functional and the spill has no effect on the operation of the machine. My frustration is with the broken key which affected my use of the keyboard.
In spite of my appeal to the case manager and customer support, they insisted that it's against their policy to fix the keyboard because of the spill evidence on the keyboard.
I am wondering if anyone else had a similar experience with HP service and particulary how they handled my service call. I am not accepting HP's lame reason for not fixing my keyboard and I was not happy I could nothing about it. I however use several HP products in my SOHO environment and this support incident left me with a bad experience.

Custom keyboard navigation

I can't find any documentation on how to change the keyboard
navigation. For my application, I need to modify how a user
navigates an advanced data grid. Can someone point me in the right
direction?
FWIW, I searched this forum on the word keyboard and it seems
like very few of the inquiries have been answered. Several of them
have asked variations of this same question. If it's not possible
to do this without hacking the source, can someone (from Adobe?)
please just say so? I know this isn't their official support area,
but it doesn't take much effort to say something can or can't be
done.
Thanks.

I have the same issue! Has anyone implemented a custom keyboard navigation with the arrow keys? Anything at the point would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hp envy 14. Keyboard issues.

hey all,
ive been having an issue with my hp envy 14, with windows 7. This forum seemed the most relevent, as its a keyboard issue.
So whenever I turn my laptop on the keyboard is non-functional, so I turn it on with alt f5 I believe, this gets the key board functional, I can at this point type in my user password. Next as I type in my password, the capslock button has reversed itself, so when my keyboard shows caps on, caps is off and vice versa. Also, sometimes when im using my computer, it switches between recognizing caps is on or not.
I recently wiped the laptop, so I believe the issue to be internal.
This is frustrating to put it lightly, any help appreciated.

Hi @czrom
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with your keyboard. I am happy to help. Please post the full product number abd operating system so I can find the correct support pages and drivers for you. Since you mentioned that you just wiped the machine it is likely that some of the drivers are missing.

Problem with Mail and customized keyboard layout

I have created a customized keyboard layout in XML, it loads and works perfectly with all applications except Apple Mail. I noticed on a googlegroup that somebody has the same problem. How can I submit this Mail bug to Apple?

download and run Find Any File to search for "Antidote".
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. Any file you find will be in the search results window and can be dragged to the Desktop and then to the Trash bin.

How can I get Final Cut 7 to remember my customized keyboard layout?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community, my name is Flavio, from Argentina.
I'm on a Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2, using Final Cut 7 and I'm using a customized keyboard layout (1 for zoom in, 2 for zoom out), but everytime I launch the application I have to go to Tools>Keyboard Layout to change it, is there a way to tel the ap to launch that layout almays?
Thanks!

It works for me without doing anything special. You might try deleting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If that doesn't solve it, describe exactly what your doing to customize the keyboard.
I assume if you do a "save keyboard layout" from the tools menu: keyboard layout after customizing the keyboard and then load keyboard layout after relaunching fcp, that at least works.

MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010 using Mac OS X 10.8 Keyboard Issues.

Good day ASC,
I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010 upgraded to Mac OS X 10.8. It now has keyboard issues. Keys F4, 4, r, f, v, caps lock, space bar, and directional keys left and down do not work. I've been looking into the problem thinking it could be a software issue. Can anyone help?

Keyboard issue in Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a 15" MacBook Pro and today it developed a keyboard malfunction...the keys around the 'w' key (a, s, d, e) also insert a w when pressed with anything but the lightest touch...probably a bit of dirt or something in the keyboard, is there a way of getting the keyboard out to have a look? or other suggestions as to why this happens? it's very irritating!

I too have an issue w/ my Macbook Pro keyboard (2nd time since I've owned it) although this one isn't quite as severe as the one reported.
I started noticing over the past couple of weeks that when I type, I start hearing this odd "click" sound every once in a while. As I started to pay more attention to it, it appears that every time I hit the letter 'E', it sounds like the plastic beneath the key is loose or breaking (?). They key itself feels loose and I'm worried that its going to pop off. (this has happened on my Dell Inspiron a few times and its been an annoying issue ever since as it regularly pops off now).
Is this something covered under Applecare? (my previous keyboard issue was a couple of dead keys including the spacebar that required a new keyboard).
Also (side question), when I go to the concierge page to setup a time to visit an Apple Genius, there's GUEST and MEMBER login. Is Member login for those who have Applecare? If so, then what would the member number be? The Applecare agreement # doesn't seem to take.
Thanks,

Custom keyboard shortcuts and editing multiple layers in Flash CS4

Hi, all -
CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worry about future animations that might be more complex.
Similarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
Any and all help would be appreciated as I muddle through this. Honestly, guys, I WANT to like the new version and there's so many added features, but it's hampering my workflow so bad I want to pummel it with sticks.

Hey there,
I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog. Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for? Just curious in case I can help.
Jen.

Anything new with keyboard issues in XP

read alot of posts but doesnt appaer to be anything new on keyboard issues in XP. works for awhile then nothing.mouse does work. i dont have an old keyboard around i can use. was hoping it was something to do with XP settings.
any word ?

I seemed to have the same issues other people were reporting: USB keyboard would disconnect every five minutes or so, would sometimes re-connect by itself, would other times freeze and require re-plugging. The mouse would usually keep working even when plugged into keyboard. This would happen on all USB ports. It was most noticeable in Windows (through Boot Camp and through Parallels), but it would also happen less noticeably in OS X. In OS X, it would often recover without re-plugging, but errors would show up in the Console logs. It seemed to get worse the longer my computer was on.
Turned out, for me at least, to be a faulty keyboard. Although I tested the keyboard on another computer and it was fine, on the Intel iMac it had the disconnection problem. I repaired permissions, verified the disk, reset PRAM, restarted in Safe Boot, but nothing helped.
I called Apple about it. They replaced the keyboard under warranty, and since then (about two weeks) the problem has not occured once, in OS X or in Windows.
If you haven't done so already, I recommend thorough troubleshooting. Disconnect all other peripherals other than the mouse and monitor your logs in OS X (open Console under Utilities) to see if USB errors come up. Boot into in Safe Boot mode by pressing Shift on start-up. If the error still comes up in OS X, as it did in my case, then you have a valid problem you can call Apple about. If it happens only in Windows, unfortunately it might be harder to make a case since Boot Camp is beta software. When you call Apple you can desscribe all the testing you already did.
(are you still under warranty?)

Custom keyboard layout and Gnome3

After moving back to my native Sweden I find that the local keyboard is a pain to use for programming (mainly it's the locations of '{[]}' that are painful). I'm stuck with Swedish keyboards at work, it's mostly laptops so using an external keyboard is not an ideal solution. Currently my solution is to run the following script
#! /bin/bash
# load XKB, if there is one
XKBDIR=${HOME}/.xkb
XKBMAPFILE=${XKBDIR}/keymap/$(hostname)
if [[ -f ${XKBMAPFILE} ]]; then
xkbcomp -I${XKBDIR} ${XKBMAPFILE} ${DISPLAY} &> /dev/null
fi
and then put the desired layout changes under ~/.xkb/. I've then created a .desktop and put it in ~/.config/autostart to run the script on login. The only problem with this is that the changed layout doesn't survive putting the laptop to sleep or hibernating it.
I'd love to get suggestions for better solutions, solutions that survive sleep/hibernate.

But how can I edit this file to extract an Spanish.keylayout ?? And be able to create a custom keyboard layout ??
Don't mess with those files. Just get Ukelele, it comes with copies of what you need:

Ukelele generated custom keyboard layouts not working in Lion?

I asked this question in the stackexchange site a few days ago. Nothing I've tried has worked so far, except for creating a new account. Because a fresh account works, it's got to be something with my preferences, right?
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/21691/ukelele-generated-custom-keyboard -layouts-not-working-in-lion
Here's the question from above:
I created a custom keyboard layout with Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) in Snow Leopard (idea is to generate scandinavian letters with Alt-key, otherwise have a pretty much standard U.S. layout). After the upgrade, the old installed (to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts) layout wasn't working.
Ukelele seems to work OK in Lion, but whether I put the generated keylayout in a bundle or single file, or save it "/Library/Keyboard Layouts" or "~/Library/Keyboard Layouts" doesn't seem to matter.
Help?
EDIT:
@Sergio, I cannot choose the layout in Input Sources. One keylayout file I tried:http://semeai.org/~sjl/us-scands.keylayout
[EDIT: Removed unrelated stuff]
UPDATE 2011/08/15:
@Tom:
Copied your keylayout (it naturally ended up in my Junk folder):
midgard (01:55) >ls -l ~/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout-rw-r--r--@ 1 sjl staff 44536 Mar 13 2008 /Users/sjl/Library/Keyboard Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout
Logged out, logged in, isn't showing in Input sources (I'm looking very closely between "Maori" and "Myanmar - QWERTY").
I've also uninstalled bunch of software and plugins giving suspicious messages to system.log, but hasn't helped.
UPDATE 2011/08/16:
I created a test account, and lo, the layout works perfectly for it. Also the bug in preferences doesn't show for that account. When trying this on my own account, there are no errors in Console logs with the suggested keywords (I can't seem to locate console.log file, though).
UPDATE 2011/08/16 later:
Nuking Library/Caches (and relogging) didn't help.
UPDATE 2011/08/17:
I did
% find Library -name "*.plist" -exec mv {} {}.renamed \;
and restarted, but it didn't help. I restored the situation with
% for file in `find Library -name "*.plist.renamed"`; \ do mv "$file" "${file//.renamed/}"; done
addendum: I also went through all the .plist files with plutil -s as described inhttp://www.askdavetaylor.com/can_i_check_my_plist_files_in_mac_os_x_for_problems .html. There was some brokennes, but in very unrelated applications.

Tom,
I think I love you.
That absolutely did it! Thanks so much!
If you'll answer with the same link in the stackexchange site, I'll mark the answer as correct, so you'll get the rep there.
Thanks,
Sami
