Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

Using a Mac OS 10.6.8 with Acrobat X Pro.
Is it possible to cutomize the keyboard shortcuts for Acrobat? I want, for instance, to set up a quick key to Accept a Comment.
Marc

You cannot customize keyboard shortcuts for Acrobat.
It should be possible to set up a custom toolbar button or menu item that sets the status of the selected comment. I haven't actually done this, but it looks like all the pieces are in place. If you made it a custom menu item, you'd be be able to access it throught the keyboard. A custom toolbar button would make it one click instead two plus the menu traversing as it currently is.
You can do the same type of thing for anything that can be implemented with JavaScript.

  • Customize Keyboard Shortcuts in Photoshop Elements 9?

    Hello, where is the customize keyboard shortcuts dialog? I bought an app for my iPod Touch that uses a .kys file to map the commands to the computer, and I could not find a way to change the keyboard shortcuts.

    I've never seen the dialog in a shipping version of elements, but here's one way.
    1. Make a copy of the .kys file and then change the name and extension to:
        Keyboard Shortcuts.psp
    2. Copy the renamed file into the pse9 settings folder.
        Example for windows vista:
        C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Editor
        Example for mac:
       Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0 Settings
    Copy the renamed file into the editor/settings folder and start or restart pse9.

  • Is there a way to customize keyboard shortcuts in applications?

    Some applications allow keyboard shortcuts to be customized, usually in preferences, but I'm wondering if there's a way to customize keyboard shortcuts in apps that don't have this feature built in.

    from Apple's OS X Help Menu:
    Create keyboard shortcuts for apps
    Assign your own keyboard shortcuts to menu commands in any OS X app, including Finder. This might be useful if a global shortcut, which works the same with most apps, conflicts with a specific app shortcut. In this case, you could assign a different key combination.
    You can only create keyboard shortcuts for existing menu commands. You  cannot create keyboard shortcuts for general purpose tasks such as opening an app.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
    Open Keyboard preferences for me
    Click Shortcuts, select App Shortcuts, then click Add (+).
    Click the Application pop-up menu, then choose an app. If you want to set the same key combination for a menu command that appears in many apps, choose All Applications.
    If the app you want to select doesn’t appear in the list, choose Other, then locate it using the Open dialog. Some apps may not allow you to set keyboard shortcuts.
    Type the menu command for which you want to set a keyboard shortcut in the Menu Title field.
    You must type the command exactly as it appears in the Application menu, including ellipses and any other punctuation. To type an ellipsis, use three periods without spaces.
    Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field, press the key combination that you want to assign to the menu command, then click Add (+).
    You can’t use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
    Quit and restart any apps you’re using for the new keyboard shortcut to take effect.
    If you assign a keyboard shortcut that already exists for another command or another app, your new shortcut won’t work. Find the menu command that’s using it, then reassign the keyboard shortcut for that item.
    To remove a customized shortcut, click Delete (–).

  • Customizable keyboard shortcuts?

    I'm using Oracle Help in the context of a Java application that already has some predefined keyboard shortcuts. For consistency, I'd like to be able to modify the shortcuts in Oracle Help. How do I do this?

    Are you using Oracle help for Java or Oracle Help for Web?

  • Customize keyboard shortcuts to services (you created)

    I created a service with automator... I just want to assign a keyboard shortcut to it. How do I do that!?
    Once I create the service it shows up in [keyboard > keyboard shortcuts > Services > General] with no shortcut assigned to it... there is no option to assign a shortcut to it, double clicking it does nothing. There's no button to edit or anything. Am I missing something?
    10.6.8

    ...there is no option to assign a shortcut to it, double clicking it does nothing
    Actualy there is.  Double click to the far right of it.
    Now you can enter the key combination to be assigned to that sevice.

  • How to customize keyboard shortcuts (Swedish keyboard)

    I don't know how dangerous this is, but I have just customized two keyboard shortcuts in LR2 for use with a Swedish keyboard.
    I did not invent this, I was taught by someone else on this forum, I'm sorry I don't remember who.
    What I did was create a file called TranslatedStrings.txt in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en\
    The content of this file is:
    "$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomIn=Zoom In"
    "$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomIn/Key=Cmd+."
    "$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomInMinor=Slow Zoom In"
    "$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomInMinor/Key=Cmd+Option+."
    "$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ShowFilterBar=Show Filter Bar"
    "$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ShowFilterBar/Key=Cmd+Shift+."
    "$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/HideShowFilterBar=Show/Hide Library Filter Bar"
    "$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/HideShowFilterBarKey=Cmd+Shift+."
    This makes Ctrl+. zoom in on pictures and Ctrl+Shift+. toggle between showing and hiding the library filter bar.
    So far it seems to function. This copies the way LR is translated to French and German. But I would very much like some input from Adobe on what can be done without danger. Maybe also a list of all shortcuts so we could do this ourselves without compromising anything.

    Minor correction:
    I believe it should be:
    "$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before=&Before Only"
    "$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before/Key=<"
    The character "&" after "=" on line 1. But it seems to function like you wrote it too.
    I tried changeing "&Before only" into "&Före enbart", which translated the menu into Swedish, but the letter ö looked strange.

  • Any way to create a keyboard shortcut for keywords in Bridge CC?

    Just curious if there's any way to create a keyboard shortcut for "new keyword" and "new sub keyword" in Bridge CC?
    If not, that would be a welcome addition in any future Bridge update - being able to customize keyboard shortcuts or add your own the way you can in Premiere Pro CC.

    Steve,
    Not, as far as I know, directly, but the problem is with Aperture, not Keyboard Maestro.  Aperture has no command (afaik) for selecting the caption field of the Info Inspector.  Without a command, you will have to find another way to access it, or another way to accomplish what you want.
    You can specify the spot clicked by screen coordinates, so you cold use the Inspector HUD and the coordinates of the Caption field, as long as the Inspector HUD always pops up in the same location.
    Many dialog boxes allow the user to advance through the fields with the Tab key.  Unfortunately, the number of times you have to type "{Tab}" in order to get to a particular field depends on other interface elements (if the Control Bar is showing, add 2).  I don't know of a way to determine if the Control Bar is showing.
    You might find a work-around using a Metadata Preset and the Batch Change command.  Keyboard Maestro can easily pop up a dialog with a text field in which you can type what you want to go into Aperture's Caption field.
    The best thing to do is download the trial version and see if it meets your needs.  Keyboard Maestro is adept at creating macros based on keyboard input.  If the program does not provide keyboard equivalents, writing an effective macro becomes difficult.
    http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
    The author provides exemplary documentation:
    http://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/About_Keyboard_Maestro
    Lastly, for the use you cite, I simply show the Inspector if it's not showing (by typing "i"), change to the Info tab if it is not currently activated (by clicking, but note that opening the Inspector with the Info tab selected can be done with one command "View➞Inspector➞Info"), and then clicking in the Caption field, which is part of all of the Metadata Views I regularly use.
    HTH.  Perhaps one of our programming mavens will suggest something better.

  • Keyboard Shortcut trouble in Premiere Pro CS3...

    Hi everyone ! I recently re-install Premiere Pro CS3 and I used to use personnal keyboard shortcuts in it. Now, each time I click on the customize keyboard shortcuts menu it tells me :
    "Premiere Pro Debug Event
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error
    [..\..\Src\ShortcutlistItem.ccp-239]"
    -> see the attached file (I'm french so my Premiere runs in french)
    My only choice is to clik on continue and them Premiere shuts down. No way to customize the shortcuts...
    Does anyone know how to fix that bug ?   
    Thx for your help !

    Maybe you havn't got around to re-applying the updates yet??

  • Keyboard shortcuts: 80% customizable. 20% not ??

    Hi there. Does anyone of you know why edit >> keyboard shortcuts let's you customize a long list of shortcuts ... but not all ? I can't find ALT+[ and ALT+] for example.
    Or is there a secret way of modifying the remaining 20% of shortcuts (for example by editing a settings file, etc.) ?

    The point is not wether or not they are working, but why they are NOT in the list (edit>>keyboard shortcuts), and thus not customizable (probably).
    Because Adobe thinks that Americanization has reached a level, where we all work with US keyboards, obviously. I guess it's the same reasons like proposing to use the circumflex key ( ^ ) in the German versions Premiere or Illustrator (and, to Adobe's eternal shame, they list this even in their help files!), when a chimp knows that can never work on a German system. So much for that. Well, whatever, at least Adobe is being consistent in being inconsistent about shortcuts.

  • Feature Request: Adobe, please make After effects CC keyboard shortcuts customizable as in Premiere

    I'm making this feature requests because I've tried the only two known methods for customizing keyboard shortcuts in After Affects and neither of these work in CC:
    • 2008 video tutorial on Creative Cow Forum for modifying the After Effects Keyboard shortcuts text file - unfortunately this doesn't work in AE CC
    • a youtube tutorial about how to install KeyedUp for After Effects - tried this but also not able to change any shortcuts in AE CC
    One of the things I love most about Premiere Pro CC is how many keyboard shortcuts you can customize. You can even do this in Adobe Audition.
    So why not in After Effects?
    Adobe please bring this feature to the next update of After Effects CC.

    Hi Todd,
    Sorry I replied to you in the Creative Cow forum. Just in case you didn't see my reply there, I'm reposting it here:
    Essentially after following the tutorial video very carefully, modifying the shortcuts, making sure there are no traces of other instances of the old shortcut, I save the file then when I reopen AE, I get this window:
    Then when I check the folder housing the shortcuts text file I see that my modified shortcut text file simply got renamed "old" at the end of the line:
    See second line in window "Shortcuts.txt.old" -> that's the file I modified. It looks like AE simply spawned a new default shortcuts file titled "...Shortcuts.txt"

  • How do I customize Firefox keyboard shortcuts without using an add-on?

    I want to modify shortcuts '''without using add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins'''. In other words, I would like to know how to modify a keyboard shortcut in a way that does '''not '''involve installing a plug-in, extension, or add-on. So, an answer that states that I should install this extension, or that plug-in is a useless answer and will be rated unhelpful as will indicate that you didn't read the question.
    Again: How do I modify a keyboard shortcut '''WITHOUT '''installing any add-ons? For example, how would I change the homepage shortcut from Alt+Home to something else, without installing any add-ons?

    I actually made this happen a few versions back, but I don't remember how I did it. I have looked through the about:config entries and can't find it. I looked through the ...xul keybindings and did not find it. I know it can (or recently could) be done, but I don't remember how.
    The problem with the existing shortcut is that on a laptop, the Home button is frequently sharing space with another key. It is a hassle to have to access Home and the alt key when accessing Home is itself an operation.
    The problem with add-ons is that I cannot, in a reasonably quick momentary glance, determine their safety now, nor in the future as they are updated. Since Mozilla does not certify add-ons as safe, I prefer to avoid them.
    Other programs don't present such difficulties with simple things like modifying shortcuts. It's pretty standard for that to be accessible from a Customize submenu in one of the main drop-downs.

  • Are the keyboard shortcuts customizable?

    Just wondering if it's possible to customize the keyboard shortcuts, though I highly doubt it's possible...

    Yes and no. You have to hack.
    I put an article on my blog on how to swap the 0 and 9 keys on the numeric keypad in a painless way, but to do more you have to dig into XML files. Look for Make Zero The Reject Key Again in the Aperture Tips section.

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working

    Here is the thread I had going online. Lost patience. Very disappointed. I would love an answer if you have one.
    Drake DeLucca
    in Adobe Story Plus my keyboard shortcuts do not work. I'm on a Macbook. I'm really tired of using an outdated Mac and Final Draft AV, but I cannot get this Adobe Story to work at all. I cannot work efficiently if I have to go to a drop down menu every time I need a new element. I need to keystroke the element & type. I'm running the latest OS on my Macbook Pro.
    Vartul, thank you for the link , but I didn't make myself clear. I had been to the linked page previously. When I use these keyboard shortcuts on my Macbook they simply do not have the specified outcome. They don't work at all. Is there a setting in preferences that I need to correct? I am generally working with multiple desktops and swipe from one to another using my multitouch trackpad. When I use the specified shortcuts I get bounced out of Adobe Story into another desktop. This leads me to believe there is a Mac Preference that needs to be changed but I haven't figured it out yet. Can you enlighten me as to what the conflict might be?

    Hi Drake,
    Sorry for a late reply.
    I am guessing that you are using Story through Safari browser. The shortcuts to change element types are in Safari are:
    Apply Scene Heading : Control + 1
    Apply Action : Control + 2
    Apply Character : Control + 3
    Apply parenthetical : Control + 4
    Apply dialogue : Control + 5
    Apply transition : Control + 6
    Apply shot : Control + 7
    Apply General : Control + 8
    There are another set of keyboard shortcuts that affect the behaviour of 'Tab' and 'Enter' keys while you are typing some element.
    e.g. when you are typing a 'Scene Heading', pressing 'Enter' will move you to an 'Action' element. Similarly while typing an Action element, pressing 'tab' key will add a new 'Character' element.
    You can customize these set of shortcuts from Temple option of Edit Menu.
    I hope this helps

  • Is there a way to use Frame 8 keyboard shortcuts in 9?

    I understand that there is a new UI, but my coworker wants to remain on Frame 8 if he can't use the shortcuts he's been using for 15 years (muscle memory lasts a long time). Is there any way (a preference maybe) to use the F8 shortcuts? I saw a trick for scrolling through paragraph styles starting with the same letter using the down arrow. (Hello Adobe? It is not reasonable to suggest having headings names start with a unique letter. There are huge and current books that have all their tags already. And there are only but so many letters.) If there is no way to use F8, is there a table somewhere of what to do now?
    Thanks so much.

    So here are a few specific problems:
    1. Ctrl 8 and 9 make you use the down arrow key to cycle through letters. How would I change the ini file so that I could just keep hitting the letter?
    2. When I start typing something and then realize I've hit the wrong letter, it seems I need to backspace to the begining to correct it. I used to be able to just start up with the correct letter.
    3. Sometimes I hit Ctrl 9 and I do not get the small box where the style names display, I only see the arrow that I then need to mouse over to and click to list the styles. Why is that?
    4. If I accidently hit Ctrl 8 when I wanted 9 (for example), I have to hit escape and then start again. Previously, hitting the correct sequence twice would get me where I wanted.
    That's all I can think of now...I appreciate the assistance...jen
    The operation of the menu that opens with Ctrl+8 and similar commands has changed in recent releases. It's not clear if it's due to a bug or a design intention. You can ask for a bug fix or feature enhancement at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
    Search FrameMaker help for Keyboard Shortcuts for lists of useful shortcuts. Even if you open a menu with a different shortcut - say Escape q p, or Escape q c (quick paragraph or character format list) instead of Ctrl+8 or 9, the menu still misbehaves.
    I haven't tried typing a different shortcut with the Escape-key method, while in a "wrong" one, to see if that works as you remember the Ctrl+ method, but it's more keystrokes than typing Escape.
    It's not customizable in maker.ini.
    There are third-party keystroke recorder utilities that may be useful. For example, you could invoke a shortcut that opens a Ctrl+ or Escape-key menu, then types the specific command you want (without mis-typing) and executes it. Search for keystroke macro recorders on Google.
