Dreamweaver code-view keyboard shortcuts

I'm fearing the answer is no, but is there a way in Mac Dreamweaver code-view to enable the standard OSX keyboard shortcuts? It seems that the Windows shortcuts are the only ones which work.
For example, CMD+right arrow should jump to the end of the line, whereas in reality it jumps to the end of the word. 'end' is required to jump to the end of the line. Other shortcuts I'm thinking of are listed here: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/07/mac_text_naviga.html . In essence, I want Eclipse-style shortcuts to work in DW. CMD+D to delete a line would be helpful as well.
Thanks,
Dave

I'm pretty sure you're right: the answer is no. If you want Adobe to adopt those shortcuts, file a feature request through the official form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

ClearType makes fonts in Dreamweaver code view hard to read

I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 with Windows Vista Business. As
you know, Vista has a feature called "ClearType," which is supposed
to help smooth out the on-screen fonts. It normally does do this,
but for some reason, in Dreamweaver code view, some of the edges of
fonts are cut off, making it very difficult to read at times. See
pic here:
http://www.klife.com/fontscutoff.jpg
I've tried changing the display fonts within Dreamweaver
(from Courier New to Arial, etc.), but it doesn't help. Actually,
Arial is worse. But here's what fixes it: turning off ClearType. I
haven't noticed ClearType messing any fonts up in programs except
for Dreamweaver. Why is DW doing this and is there anything I can
do to get ClearType to work with it?

You might want to try Clear Type Tuner. It is a Microsoft
tool to let you
adjust your clear type settings to your liking. It was
written for XP. I'm
not sure if they have a Vista version out yet, but the XP
version might
work.

Here is an online version, which I have not tried.

Why won't Dreamweaver code view allow me to select from all of my system fonts?

I am trying to change the font for my code view in Dreamweaver CC. However, it does not let me choose from a list of all fonts installed on my computer...it just gives me about 50 or so random fonts (some of them glyph fonts which are completely useless in this scenario). It doesn't even include basics like Courier. I had previously been using CS4, and it allowed me to choose any font I wanted. Any ideas?

I've just checked Dreamweaver CC on my MacBook Air. I don't know whether it lists every single font on my machine, but the list was very long. It certainly wasn't just a short, random list. Are you trying to change the Code view font in the right place?

Dreamweaver code view letter spacing issue

Good Morning at all,
This morning when i've started DreamWeaver i've seen something change.
As you can see in the picture below in the code view, the letters spacing is became really bigger than the normal.
In the picture below i've done a piece of code with my dreamweaver in the top and in the bottom with one of my friend.
When i try to change the font from the preferences menu (for example Verdana) the problem seems to solve but when i change again to Courrier New the problem return.
What can i do?
For me it is really frustrating to work with this problem and I do not understand why it bothers me so much,
Thanks for the help guyes!
Manuel.

To change code formatting, go to Edit > Preferences > Code > Indent. Then use Command > Apply Source Formatting.

Dreamweaver: code view - building links

Working in code view, does Dreamweaver have prefs to have the following behaviour with respect to creating links:
User selects some text in a sentence that will be the anchor for the link.
User selects an html file from the project file list.
User drags the file and drops it on to the text that will form the anchor.
What happens:
The selected' text is replaced by the contents of the title tag in the html file that was dropped onto it.
What the user might expect to happen (because it's the quick and intuitive way to build links but no other editor appears to have this functionality, apart from Homesite):
The selected text becomes the anchor of a link to the file that's just been dropped onto it.
Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
Mark

Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
No, but you can always select the text and use the bull's-eye icon to drag and drop on the filename, an even more intuitive way to make a link.

Dreamweaver code view problem with Turkish fonts

All my preferences is set to Turkish encoding, but only at the code window Turkish characters aren't displayed right. If i type directly into the code window, everything is ok. but if i write something to design windowi the characters change automatically. i'm attaching a picture to show.
thanks in advance.

What you see there is not a problem. It's the expected result.
When the Web first started, it supported only unaccented characters. So, to create letters like ö, it was necessary to use HTML entities, which is what you see in Code view.
Nowadays, browsers support Unicode (UTF-8), which doesn't need to convert accented characters.
Go into Preferences (from the Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver window on a Mac), and select the New Document category. Set encoding to UTF-8. To change existing pages, use Modify > Page Properties, and select Title/Encoding.
With UTF-8, ö will still be ö in Code view.

CS4 Reset View Keyboard Shortcut (ESC key) Not Working

Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this:
Every keyboard shortcut in Photoshop CS4 works fine for me except one: the keyboard shortcut to reset view after using view rotation (the ESC key). Oddly, the keyboard shortcut does work in CS5 (I installed the demo). I've checked to ensure my keyboard is set to US English, which it is. I've tried resetting the Photoshop settings, and even reinstalling. Nothing. This particular keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to be one that can be changed through the keyboard shortcuts menu, and I have never customized the keyboard shortcuts anyway.
Some more information about my setup -- I'm using an Intuos 4 tablet, and do use the wheel to rotate the view. However, the keyboard shortcut doesn't work when I use the tool with my mouse or the wheel on my tablet, so it seems unlikely this is the issue. Regarding my hardware acceleration, I have a current gen nVidia card with plenty of horsepower, and all other OpenGL enhancements work fine.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi there
Have you ensured that Captivate has been updated with all service releases?
I could be wrong but I seem to recall a service release fixed this issue.

"open in viewer" keyboard shortcut

Anybody know of a keyboard shortcut for "open in viewer"? (I'm using 5.1.4) I tried creating my own shortcut, but "open in viewer" doesn't come up as an option in the keyboard layout. (And yes, I know you can get there by ctrl/rt clicking, but I want a better shortcut, darn it!)
Thanks, folks!
Derrick

You might have figured this out already, Derrick, but Return works from the timeline, too, not just the browser. Just thought I'd mention it.

ITunes 11.2.0 Album view keyboard shortcut scrolling problem

In previous versions of iTunes 11 I could hit a letter on my keyboard to jump down the list to the first alphabetical album listed and open the contents of said album. Since the latest update this causes the window to completely overshoot the selected album and show non-expanded albums further down, causing me to have to scroll back up to see what was opened, negating the entire point of the feature.
Anyone else have this problem, and anyone know how to fix it?

I've got the same problem. It used to be really convenient to jump around in itunes that way, but not since I updated to 11.2. I think I might stop updating itunes after I find a fix for this. These sorts of inexplicable things keep happening.
edit- My sister has noticed the same thing since she updated itunes on her macbook, so this problem does not seem to be exclusive to the Windows version.

Indent code keyboard shortcut not working?

Working on a new website, I started working on my old laptop (white macbook) with Dreamweaver 5.0 installed. When it got too complex for the small screen I took the project to my work computer (Mac Pro) and continued working in Dreamweaver CC. On both computers the shortcut for 'indent code' work as advertised in the help files.
Tonight I took the project back home and continued working on my newer laptop (MacBookPro 17"). On this laptop I still had CS6 installed so I continued working in CS6. But for some reason the keyboard shortcuts for 'indent code' did not work. In the edit-menu there is no shortcut behind these commands. I found this very annoying, so I installed CC on this laptop too. After installing I took the prefs from the cloud and expected the keyboard shortcuts to work, but bo such luck...
I then quit Dreamweaver, replaced the Keyboard Shortcut.js file with the one from my Mac Pro. Still no go.
My work computer is running OSX 10.8, both my laptops are running OSX 10.9. So if the shortcuts a are somehow reseved by the system I guess they should not work on my old laptop either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
A

Tried that, there are no shortcuts associated with these commands. I tried adding the shortcuts but that did not work either. I select the command, click the + sign and press the desired key combination (Shift+Command+>). The window disappears. Most likely because the ">" is also the "." and "command-." is the shortcut for "cancel"...
I did some further digging and found the shortcuts are stored in the Menus.xml file, burried deep in the Application Support/Abobe etc. folder. But this file is only there after you make a duplicate of the original keyboard settings. I opened this file (in Dreamwaver ) and found the shortcuts for indent/outdent code are there but for some reason it's ignored by Dreamweaver. I removed Dreamweaver from the computer and re-installed, no luck.
So I made a new set, opened the new xml file and first removed the shortcuts, saved the file, added the shortcuts and saved again. Now they work.
But I'd still like to know why it did not in the first place...

Zoom in code view

So I love code view, allows me to really keep everything
clean. But the txt is a bit too small. I know I can zoom with my
os, but is there a way to do this only in dreamweaver code view?
Thought about changing the code font and size, but not sure if that
will effect page rendering
???

> Thought about changing the code font and size,
> but not sure if that will effect page rendering
dreamweaver preferences-->Fonts-->Code View
pick a font and a size. it has nothing to do with what shows
in a browser.
make it 300pt zebra bold.

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Dreamweaver cs6 keeps adding br tags in code view

Hi
I've just upgraded to Dreamweaver cs6 and am having trouble with the code view. When typing in <script> tags or <style> tags I keep getting two <br> tags automatically inserted. It is really annoying as it puts them on two lines and takes time to remove them and completely disrupts your flow when typing code or css.
Any suggestions on how to prevent this happening?
Thanks.

Thanks David - I think that may well explain it. It seems to happen mostly when adding a { in code or CSS. I wonder if I'm still holding the shift key when I hit enter for a new line. I'm trying Dreamweaver again after using visual studio for the last 5 years or so. I wonder if I can just change the keyboard shortcut.

Dreamweaver CC automatically deletes code in code view and elements in design view

When I open a file in Dreamweaver, it automatically shows a * next to the filename - showing it has been edited.
Then often when I select some code in code view, or an element in design view (such as a table, an image, some text) it is suddenly deleted.
The problem is especially bad (happens without fail) if I am switching between programs. But also happens when I'm not switching.
I do not have this problem on a different user account.
I have reinstalled Dreamweaver three times now. Also renamed preference and configuration folders. Tried with a wired mouse and keyboard. Nothing has worked.
I can't think what I did to cause this. I installed MAMP recently - but have uninstalled it correctly I think.
I had an issue with one file in which there were about 30 Spry collapsible panels. I kept getting this warning:
"A script in file Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CC:Configuration:Shared:Spry:DesignTime:EditingUtils.js has been running for a long time. Do you want to continue?"
I have to click 'yes' many times to get into the file, and the warning keeps coming up while the file is open.
However, my big issue of DW CC deleting code and elements happens whether or not this particular file is open.
So this may have nothing to do with it.
Any ideas anyone?
Adobe's customer service has not helped. In fact, I have not even been able to get through to anyone on the phone - having waited literally hours listening to music, and getting shunted from person to person. And then their promised 'call backs' never happen.
Thanks,
- Greg

I do not have this problem on a different user account.
You've got a bad/corrupted user account. Create a new one with Admin level priveleges and delete your old user.

DW 2014.1 keyboard shortcuts for "Code and Design" gone

Option has disappeared for setting keyboard shortcuts specifically for "Code and Design" (or plain Design either, for that matter)? Split Code option just gives you two code windows and all the other options in Shortcuts are for Live View, not Design view.

Alt-F11 does not help me in this situation because you still cannot toggle between showing Code and Design versus all Code, or all Design. Live options have replaced Design options, but even then, you cannot make a shortcut for Code and Live (though it's available in the View menu). This screen shot shows what has disappeared.
Again: Ctl + ` does not toggle the VIEW, it toggles the active PANE.
