Disabled keyboard shortcuts in adobe applications

My employer provides Mac OS X 10.4.11. I am not in a position to upgrade this, therefore cannot go beyond Firefox 3.6.25. I have recently found keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Photoshop (7) and Illustrator (10) do not work when I'm logged in to my hotmail account, or on the logout page at uk.msn.com. This happens in both Firefox and Camino. I need hotmail open, anyone know a workaround for this? (Not too technical please!) (I hate Safari, but am having to use it for now.)

The suggestion to look on the Adobe site lead to the solution. This is the best answer from Adobe:
Solution 1: Bypass the keys' default OS-level commands.
Note: Use this solution only if your keyboard has a key labeled Fn.
To make Mac OS interpret F1, F2, and so forth as function keys instead of as OS-level command keys, hold down the Fn key when you press a function key. For example, in an Adobe application that uses F1 as a keyboard shortcut, hold down Fn and press F1.
You can also make Mac OS interpret F1, F2, and so forth as function keys by default. (If you do so, then you can still perform those keys' OS-level commands by holding the Fn key when you press them.) If you want to make this change, then do the following:
1. Choose Apple Menu > System Preferences.
2. Click Keyboard & Mouse.
3. Click the Keyboard tab.
4. Select the option Use All F1, F2, Etc. Keys As Standard Function Keys.
5. Quit System Preferences.

  • 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.

  • Keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Photoshop

    Keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Photoshop are not working. Shortcuts set up within Photoshop will not work at all. If I try to add application shortcuts through the keyboard and mouse system preferences I get an error message saying keyboard shortcuts cannot be added to Photoshop. I thought I just had a conflict with a system keyboard shortcut, but even when I turn them all off, I get the same results. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated...

  • Is There a List of Keyboard Shortcuts for Adobe Digital Editions, I Found Two By Accident the "Arrow" Keys and the "Enter Key" for Turning Pages in an eBook...

    Hi  ??  :       Does Anyone Know If There is a List of Keyboard Shortcuts for Adobe Digital Editions, I Found/Discovered Two By Accident the “Arrow” Keys and the “Enter Key” for Turning Pages in an eBook...   Thanks
    I Did Look for this Keyboard Shortcuts in Adobe Digital Editions Help & FAQ Areas and Got the Run Around, Very Hard to Find How Use Adobe Products !!

    Nope, I doubt it.  As I said:
    I disabled Aero theme, checked font scaling was 100% and rebooted Windows in between all of the steps to no avail.
    I've been reading a lot around this and it seems the arrow key problem is a red herring; I think it's just some kind of terminal preferences corruption.

  • Why can't I add keyboard shortcuts for Adobe GoLive 9?

    Since the demise of Unsanity's Menu Master on Leopard, I've been taking the more tedious (and problematic) route of using System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts to add and modify keyboard shortcuts for menu actions.
    I just tried to add my first shortcut to Adobe GoLive 9, which resulted in this uninformative error dialog:
    "You cannot add keyboard shortcuts for the application Adobe GoLive 9."
    Why? (The only real problem I've had with the previous 11 applications is ambiguous menu items, i.e., the same menu action name in more than one menu sub-action.)
    (I'm now resorting to an even more tedious shortcut technique - QuicKeys X3. QuicKeys is great, but it's overkill for a simple keyboard shortcut.)

    I've found another:
    "You cannot add keyboard shortcuts for the application Adobe Reader."

  • Disabling keyboard shortcuts in Flash CC

    From looking at past threads, it appears that Flash users were once able to disable keyboard shortcuts in the Flash player window when testing their programs.  This option seems to have gone away in Flash CC (or has hidden itself very well).  This is problematic for me since I'm relying on key presses to dictate which frames my program goes to, but can't test to see if things are working properly without disabling Flash player shortcuts first.  Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

    ned is correct.  that feature (unfortunately) was 'deprecated' in flash pro cc, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WS3e7c64e37a1d85e1e229110db38dec34-7fc2a.html (the 'The Test Movie command and keyboard controls' section).
    in addition to neds suggestion, another poor option is to test in your browser.

  • How can we disable keyboard shortcuts on webpages?

    I am using the add-on firemacs, which allows us to edit text with emacs key-bindings.
    The problem is: some key-bindings (set by firemacs) are overwritten at several webpages (e.g. Evernote and StackExchange).
    For example, Ctrl-b moves normally the text cursor to the previous character in a textarea. But in the textarea at any site of StackExchange, Ctrl-b creates `**strong text**`.
    Is it possible to disable keyboard shortcuts without disabling shortcuts for firemacs?
    The trivial solution is to disable JavaScript. But I want to know a possibility of other solutions.

    StackExchange links to a bunch of other sites, so I looked at the superuser.com site. The specific script that creates the interactive features of the editor is http://cdn.sstatic.net/Js/wmd.en.js. It's minified so I can't figure out the call needed to remove the keypress event listener. (Actually, I'm not sure I could figure it out even with the full source, as I don't use jQuery.) Maybe it's a question for StackOverflow?

  • Need to assign keyboard shortcuts to open applications!

    How can I assign keyboard shortcuts to open applications such as mail, safari, iphoto, fcp, shake and etc...
    Thanks in advance,
    Zia

    It's a bit confusing, but you cannot assign a keyboard short-cut to launch an app. That window is for assigning a keyboard shortcut to an EXISTING menu command in the app you selected, if that menu command does not have a keyboard shortcut already.
    So if you select System Preference as the app, and enter Menu Title of "About System Preferences" and enter Opt-Cmd-A as the shortcut, once you close and reopen System Preferences, Opt-Cmd-A will open the About System Preferences window, which is an existing command under the File menu that previously did not have a keyboard shortcut.
    You may be able to do what you want with a macro program like Quickeys.

  • Disable Keyboard Shortcut for Open Adobe Bridge

    Is there a way to disable the keyboard shortcut which opens Adobe Bridge from Illustrator? Often when I'm working quickly I accidentally hit this (option command o) instead of (shift command o) to outline type. It halts everything to open Bridge, which I never use, and drives me crazy. Is there any way to disable this command?
    Any help would be greatly approciated!!

    Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > Menu Commands > File and remove or modify the default shortcut for Bridge.

  • How to disable keyboard shortcut for Type-And-Transfer

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a macro in Excel that I want to use the ctrl+shft+h keyboard shortcut. However, Lenovo's Type-and-Transfer tool has hijacked that shortcut so everytime I try to use the shortcut within Excel it launches the Type-and-Transfer tool. I've looked everywhere and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to disable this keyboard shortcut from launching the Type-and-Transfer tool. Anybody have any idea?
    Thanks in advance,
    jd

    Hi,
    here is what I would check in:
    Registry:
    - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM
    - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LENOVO
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo
    <sorry as I don't havea system with this shortcut type I cannot find the exact same key combination>
    My second thought is going more in the direction of an application, that is called Keyboard Customizer
    Try this one, if that will fit your request.
    Let me know any update, that you can give on this situation.
    Cheers

  • How to disable keyboard shortcut "Control Shift Down"

    Hi,
    I'm mildly surprised that I couldn't find the answer to this little problem I have.
    I'm running a PC version of Excel through VMWare under Mac OS X 10.7, and it works perfectly fine except that the keyboard shortcut for selecting continguous cells in a column - Control-Shift-Down - produces a weird "slow-mo" version of F10, which is showing all windows in the current application.
    First of all, I hardly see this "feature" to be of any practical use as you can accomplish the same (without the slow-mo effect) by hitting F10 by default.
    Secondly, this prevents me from doing something actually useful in Excel which is selecting continguous cells in a column.
    Can someone please give a tip to disable this useless shortcut? I've looked everywhere in Keyboard settings in Preferences without success.
    Can't believe no one else has the same issue.
    TIA
    -Wk

    Thanks a lot for your post. I tried your suggestion and indeed got the Excel short-cut back. It wasn't obvious as "Mission Control" and "Application Windows" are mapped to F9 and F10 (rather than the ctrl-shift-down" combo).
    It's ok since I don't really have any use for shortcut launching "Mission Control" or "Application windows".

  • Keyboard shortcuts to Dashboard, Application Switch not working

    I think other people are having a related version of this problem! After a certain period of time after starting or restarting the computer (perhaps whenafter the computer goes to sleep?) the keyboard shortcuts for Tiger, F9, F10, F11, and F12 don't work, and neither does Cmd + Tab to switch between applications. What is going on?

    I've not a solution, but for what it's worth I have a TiPB, a MacBook Pro, and two Quicksilvers running Tiger and have not experienced your problem. Not to suggest the problem doesn't exist, but perhaps it's related to something specific with your computer. You might try booting into safe mode to see if the problem ceases. If it does, then it's related to something safe mode disables. Another thing you can try is to create a new test user, then log out of your normal account and log into the test account. If the problem disappears, then it may be related to a bad preference file or something running in you normal account that isn't in the test account. It could also be a problem related to a corrupted cache file. Use one of the several utilities around for cleaning cache files.
    If none of the above are successful, consider doing an Archive and Install to reinstall a fresh copy of Tiger.

  • Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...

    I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
    Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
    Thanks
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
    Hope this helps out!!

  • Different keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Reader 9 for navigation

    In Adobe Reader 9 (German) the keyboard shortcuts for navigation have changed obviously. In previous versions one can zoom in/out to window size with "CTRL-0". Now CTRL-0 zooms in (like CTRL-+ before). CTRL-1 seems to zoom out. Is this a bug or why does Adobe change the shortcuts in Adobe Reader 9 (btw: any other Adobe product uses the same shortcuts as older versions).
    Does anybody know, how to resize the document to window size via keyboard shortcut?
    Thanks in advance. Best regards.

    Hi!
    I was wondering about the exact same thing:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b65468
    I believe it is not a bug, just an unreasonable, stupid change.
    Thanks though, for mentioning that you actually can zoom in now using ctrl+0 (or ctrl+2 i guess)!
    For resizing to window size I use "ctrl+L", so if you are in zoomed mode you have to holde ctrl and hit L twice to jump to window size again. Hope that helped!
