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!!

    No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
    Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

  • 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,

    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

  • Keyboard shortcuts for Power Manager Profiles?

    is it possible to set up keyboard shortcuts to switch between Power manager profiles? I have several set up in Lenovo Power Manager, and often want to switch between them without having to open the Power manager app every time. It would be good to switch between a "Maximum Performance" and "Maximum Battery Life" with keyboard shortcuts.
    Thanks in advance.

    I too am looking for this.
    Workaround:
    Create a shortcut to C:\Program Files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities\PWMOSDV.EXE somewhere, and then edit the shortcut properties to add a key combination, lite CTRL+ALT+4.
    This will open up a profile selector.

  • How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

    I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
    Many thanks!
    Amadeus

    Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
    cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
    So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

    In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
    Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
    I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
    These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
    System Configuration:
    Flash CC
    Mac OSX 10.8.5

    Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
    fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

  • Change keyboard shortcut for "Find"

    The default keyboard shortcut for the "find" function is Cmd-Opt-F. As you know, for virtually every other Mac app (if not all Mac apps), the shortcut for "find" is simply Cmd-F. In iTunes, though, Cmd-F turns the visualiser full-screen mode on and off. I never use the visualiser, and decades of Mac use have hard-wired my fingers for Cmd-F to be "find." I know that there is a method in System Preferences by which to change or assign associations between drop-down menu items and keyboard shortcuts, but there is no menu item for "find" so that method seems like a dead end.
    Is there a way to replace Cmd-Opt-F with Cmd-F in iTunes?
    Help, please!!!

    to be quite honest i dont no how exactly to do this,
    i just know it can be done. i have had no problem
    opening .plist files in vi-make sure you are in root
    account for system files.
    They (the .plist files) don't seem particularly readable in vi -- they seem to contain a lot of binary content. In earlier versions of OS X they were plain text and easily edited.....
    Solaris huh? how powerful
    is that? i dont know much about solaris . . . . like
    to try it though. recommendations?
    It's a more "traditional" Unix, meaning that it's very powerful, fairly bulletproof, very configurable, and pretty obtuse if you're not familiar with it. I like my Mac better!

  • 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".

  • Disabled Keyboard-Shortcuts on every boot-up

    Hi.
    Can anyone tell why the keyboard-shortcuts for "dock, exposé and dashboard" become disabled every time the Mac starts?

    BTW - when a game freezes in fullscreen, I find that my force quit command is disabled. Any workaround? I'm sort of disappointed that some Mac game seem to disable all my shortcuts.

    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.

  • Disable Reply All button via Group Policy without disabling keyboard shortcut

    At my organization, we've used Group Policy to disable the Reply to All button in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010. When you use the setting in the ADM files for the respective versions of Office to disable a Command bar ID, the Reply to All button is disabled,
    however they keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + R) is still active. This forces our users to think a bit more before using the Reply All function.
    The keyboard shortcut continues to work, because there's a separate setting to disable the keyboard shortcuts. The same is true for Office 2013's GP templates, however, it does not function as expected.
    When I use the Office 2013 admin templates and disable command bar ID 355 (Reply All), it disables the button as expected, however it also disables the keyboard shortcut for Reply All without actually setting it as disabled in the disable shortcut keys.
    Has anyone had success disabling a command bar ID without disabling the associated shortcut keys? If so, how did you do it?

  • Keyboard shortcuts for cropping not working

    iPhoto '11 (9.3.1) cropping shortcuts not working.
    Pressing shift while dragging does not disable the "Contrain" setting when using preset sizes. Nothing happens.
    What are we supposed to "drag vertically" or "horizontally" in a preset crop size that makes iPhoto switch between portrait or landscape constrain setting?
    Having to go to the "Crop" drop-down menu to click-switch contraints between portrait and landscape is very tiring - these shortcuts don't work unless someone can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
    Disable constrain setting in crop tool when selecting an area
    Press the Shift key while dragging
    Switch between portrait and landscape constrain settings in crop tool when selecting an area
    Drag vertically for portrait crop or drag horizontally for landscape crop

    Hi -
    In order to support keyboard shortcuts for the Tag Panel we needed to implement a bit of a unique method. The Tag Panel itself does indeed need to have focus in order for it's keyboard shortcuts to activate. The core reason for this is to remove the potential for keyboard shortcut conflicts between the rest of the app the those stored within a Tag template. Remember, you can share Tag Templates across system and with other users. and each template can contain it's own shortcut definitions. The only way to prevent conflicts is to enforce the focus rule.
    the recommended workflow is to open a clip and set focus to the Tag Panel. From the Tag Panel all of the Transport Controls (JKL, SPACE BAR for play/pause, etc.) will still function when the Tag Panel has focus. So you should still be able to review your clips and apply Tags via shortcut.
    Let me know how this works. We are always looking to improve workflows so if you come up with some improvement ideas please share.
    Regards,
    Michael

  • 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.

  • Keyboard shortcut for shifting focus to the version name?

    i'm trying to go through and quickly give each pic a version name, is there a quick way to jump from the pic to the info palette where the version name is? can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for that.
    thanks!

    Hello, jake
    Quote: "i'm trying to go through and quickly give each pic a version name, is there a quick way to jump from the pic to the info palette where the version name is? can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for that.
    So that it highlights Version Name in the input field in the Metadata Panel?
    I don't know of any that would move to the next photograph and at the same time highlight the Version Name field.
    Command Option m
    will get you to the Management Layout
    Hit w to close the Projects Panel and then hit i to open the Inspectors. From this layout you can use the arrows to manuever through the photographs in the Browser but you will still need to select the Version Name input field to add metadata.
    Should you have a ton of images you can use j k l (up, stop, down) to scroll through them. You can also use a ShuttlePro v.2 and modify the keys on it to make keyboard shortcuts for Aperture.
