Default Keyboard Shortcut Keys incorrect

I have recently noticed that my keyboard shortcut keys are no longer set to their defaults (F4 for dashboard, F11 for volume down, etc.). Even after hitting Restore Defaults on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab under Keyboard and Mouse, the keys are not correctly set (F12 is for dashboard now and the others are likewise reset to another key).
I have no idea what has caused this change and would just like the default settings restored as it seems even with double-clicking the shortcut and holding down a new key (as per the instructions on the Keyboard and Mouse settings) I cannot restore them to their original functions.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
In System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard, be sure the checkbox is checked (or unchecked, depending on how you use the function keys).

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)
When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a Service (such as a Service Workflow created in Automator) using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, if that shortcut key combination includes the Command key, pressing that shortcut will always successfully activate the Service. No problem there.
However, shortcut key combinations that do not include the Command key (for example, the shortcut key combo Ctrl-Shift-D) WILL NOT activate the Service in any newly opened application, until you click on the Services Menu option in that application.
As soon as you click on the application's Services Menu, this seems to bind the shortcut key combo to the Service, and thereafter, that keyboard shortcut will activate the Service in that particular app. But if you then quit and reopen the app, you'll find the Service will once again lose its binding to the shortcut key combination and will thus fail to work again.
This means that shortcut key combinations such as Ctrl-D, Ctrl-Shift-D, F15, Alt-F15, etc are not really viable shortcuts for Services, because they will not work in any newly-opened application until you click on the Services Menu in that application.
This bug thus greatly limits the shortcuts that you can employ for Services, because you can only reliably use shortcut key combos that contain the Command key. This is a fault that Apple really needs to fix. This is a very old glitch: I notice it is present in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, as well as Yosemite 10.10.1.
This bug does not apply to application shortcuts, however, or to other shortcuts in the Shortcuts Preference Pane, just to Services shortcuts (including the Mac's default Services, or any Services you make yourself using Workflows on the Automator software).
To give some examples:
The following keyboard shortcuts for Services WILL NOT work until you click on the Services Menu in the application you are using (and they will cease working again when you quit and reopen the app):
Ctrl-X
Ctrl-Shift-X
Ctrl-Alt-X
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-X
Alt-X
Alt-Shift-X
F1, F2, F3, etc
So until Apple fixes this bug, the above type of key combinations, that do not contain the Command key, are best avoided as shortcuts for Services. It is particularly unfortunate that function keys F1 to F19 do not work reliably, as these would make great single-key shortcuts to Services.
However, the following sort of keyboard shortcuts for Services, all containing the Command key, once set up will always work without fail:
Command-Alt-X
Command-Ctrl-X
Command-Shift-X
Command-Ctrl-Shift-X
Command-Alt-Ctrl-Shift-X
Command-F1, Command-F2, Command-F3, etc
So all the above can be reliably used as shortcuts to Services.
Here X denotes keyboard keys such as A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, =, \, [, etc.
Note that even for keyboard shortcuts containing the Command key, you may very occasionally need to click the Services Menu to get them to work initially in an application (notably in the System Preferences application itself). But if this is necessary, it is just required once when they are first set up, and thereafter the shortcuts containing the Command key will always work without fail.
The above was tested on Yosemite 10.10.1, but most likely applies to other versions of OS X as well, as I believe this bug is an old one. This bug is definitely present in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, because I have observed this same fault in an old Mac I have that runs Snow Leopard.
I have reported this bug to Apple, so hopefully they will see my report and act upon it. However, it might be an idea if others also report this problem of Services shortcuts not working property, to ensure that Apple get the message. You can report a bug to Apple via their bug feedback page here.

Exactly where do you want to use a GO BACK "shortcut" in Bridge? Maybe I don't even understand what you mean by Go Back. Bridge is only a file browser, nothing more. It doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save files at all.
Are you simply referring to going back to view a folder that you viewed before?
Please don't take this a criticism. As someone who will gladly pay money not to have to learn any shortcuts at all, I'm just puzzled and curious, that's all.

Can I change the default keyboard shortcuts?

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to change some of the default keyboard shortcuts. Some of the actions I use quite frequently have 4-button shortcuts that require a lot more dexterity than I have and I was hoping I can change them to something simple, like 2-keys or 3 at the most. Is this doable?
Thanks

Many can be changed. System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts.

Default Keyboard Shortcut Overridden

I just bought a new iMac, and was hoping the upgrade would resolve an issue I was having on my iBook. Unfortunately I used the Migration Assistant against my (initially) better judgement and copied the problem over as well. At some point I managed to override the default action of Command+N so that now it skips to the next track in iTunes. I can not for the life of me figure out what program is doing it though. I've checked QuickSilver and Sizzling Keys and nether of them are setting the action. I've also tried going into System Preferences and resetting the default keyboard shortcuts all to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas where I can look or what else I can try to restore the default action?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Multicamera keyboard shortcut keys stopped working

PP 2014.0.1 release.
My keyboard shortcut keys (standard: 0,1,2) were working, but they stopped working mid-edit. Restarting the application did not fix this. Mouse works - but what a crappy way to select a camera.
Any suggestions?

To answer my own question:
I discovered that the Multicamera track in the timeline must be targeted (enabled in the track header in the timeline) or the keyboard shortcuts to select a camera do not work. (I don't know how my track became untargeted, but it did.)
Although I understand how a keyboard shortcut will change the current clip in the multicamera sequence to the associated camera, the keyboard shortcut is strongly associated as input to the multicamera window, not the timeline. After all, I click on a camera view in the Multicamera program monitor to select that camera. I don't click in the timeline to do that. So It's not at all obvious that the multicamera track must be targeted for camera selection to work.
I find it confusing.
Do other users consider this a bug or good design?

Form Builder 6.0.8 (Solaris) Keyboard Shortcut Keys

I am having no luck getting the keyboard shortcut keys to work inside Form Builder (e.g. Ctrl+j for connect)
or during run time (e.g. Alt+11 for Execute Query).

Roar,
the order of blocks does only influence the navigation but not the visibility. However, if the button bar is on a canvas that doesn't show if the focus isn't in it then having teh button block on top makes sure the focus is set there. Are the push bottons on a separate canvas or are they on the same canvas as your data ? If not, then how do you ensure that the stacked canvas gets displayed ? Anyway, running the Form from teh builder uses teh same client/server runtime that is used when running your application stand alone. So it must be something within teh navigation (I am guessing).

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Default keyboard shortcuts in CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html

I guess I should have said that I've already been looking, First, slowly scrolling and going through the entire keyboard shortcuts list, then, over the past three days, searching on google for 'end' 'timeline' 'beginning' 'playhead' and various other combinations of these and other keywords in searches not only on Google, but in the actual Help and User Manual for Premiere CS6. Not to be ended there, because I have been searching, now on my fourth day of intense searching also taking YouTube videos, and many of the excellent forums for Premiere online. I guess I should have mentioned the hundreds of dead ends that I've come across in this search, but all paths seem to be leading away rather than leading to the simple answer I am looking for. I did find references to moving the playhead, to clips, markers, last place, and many others but none for moving the playhead to the beginning or the end of the timeline. My searchs even brought results for the beginning and the end of time, but I hope I can find the answer before then.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for moving the playhead to the beginning or the end of the timeline?
TIA,
Ken

Missing all default keyboard shortcuts

I just downloaded Premiere Pro CC onto my Mac running Mavericks. None of the typical keyboard shortcuts were working when I started to edit a video so I looked at the keyboard shortcuts preferences. All of the keyboard shortcut versions that came preloaded even the default are all empty. I'm not willing to go through and add the shortcuts for every key. Can I download what should be the default list of shortcuts and reinstall it? Clearly something didn't install correctly. HELP!

Redefining default keyboard shortcuts for dashboard, exposé, etc.

Hi,
I would like to redefine the keyboard shortcuts for the Dashboard, Dock, and Exposé functions, i.e. I don't want these functions to be bound to the f8-f11 keys. I can redefine the shortcuts manually using the Keyboard pane of the System Preferences, but there are two problems. The first is that the shortcuts for these four items are reset whenever the computer is restarted (my changes to the other keyboard shortcuts are maintained). Is there a way to permenantly change these shortcuts? The second problem is that I am not able to change the keyboard shortcuts for the "slow" versions of these shortcuts accessed by using the shift key.
Basically, I want to be able to use f8-f11 and shift + f8-f11 as keyboard shortcuts in other applications. I'd like to assign the Dashboard, Dock, and Exposé commands to be command + f8-f11 and shift + command + f8-f11.
Thanks.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Does it hold if you change in the Dashboard&Exposé preference pane? You should be able to at least set the Cmd+F#, not sure if it will work for the slow open.
For more direct control, see this site
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/remapfunctionkeys.html
The Powerbook is more limited in that it doesn't have the F13,F14,F15 keys, but editing the com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist will give you direct control of the hotkey assignments.

All keyboard shortcut keys not functioning

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this...
I have installed OSX 10.6, everything runs great...but I cannot use any shortcut keys, not even the simple select and copy functions work. I can still do these things through the edit menu, but it's a pain!
I have checked the keyboard information under systems preferences and everything seems normal.
Any help and or advice greatly appreciated!

Keyboard shortcut keys

When I type something on the keyboard it does weird commands When I push the Command, shift, fn, option or control keys, it displays symbols on the screen in the top right corner and makes a cash register type noise? I have to push the key 3 times to make it go away? Is there anyway to shut this off? I'm sure one of my kids must have done some keyboard shortcut.

Look at System Preferences - Accessibility (Universal Access) - Keyboard - Sticky Keys...
I'd uncheck the box to turn it on with 5 presses of the shift key.

Default keyboard shortcuts changed

I had to safe boot my computer yesterday because my Mountain Lion update failed; after the update succesfully worked though, all of the shortcuts changed. I was able to change some of these shortcuts so that they work normally again (i.e. brightness shortcuts), however they keys F7 to the eject button do not work. I have the latest wireless keyboard and always have had the latest wireless keyboard for the iMac, and the keyboard has always been fully updated.
Could someone try and help me out?
Thanks in advance!

You might wanna try resetting settings.

Losing default keyboard shortcuts

For some reason I'm losing my default dictionary and dashboard shortcuts. I hit the restore defaults button and it will work for a while - even after I reboot, but eventually I lose these two shortcuts and I have to go back to restore them... It happens several times a week.

Some of the shortcuts on mine just don't work at all (unless I am doing something wrong)....
