Emoticon shortcut key - change request

I would like to request that the shortcut keys for the emoticons be made into something a little less likely to be used in normal English language. Right now, using a quote followed by a close parentheses indicates a smiley: " ) (space artificially added to prevent smiley). Unfortunately, it's fairly common to have phrases like (clicking "Reset to Default" ) (again a space was artificially added to prevent smiley) that display an emoticon at the end (see here). It seems that with the forum upgrade the text version of the emoticons is something like :smiley<whatever>, so apparently the older shortcuts are still active. So, perhaps the problem is that the old shortcuts are still active?EDIT: I wasn't sure if this belonged as a separate thread or whether it should be included in the NI Discussion Forum Upgrade thread. That thread seemed specific to the upgrade that had occurred, and discussing any bugs that were found. If it belongs there, let me know and I will post it in there and this thread can be closed.

Hi smercurio,
I think a new thread is fine, it gets hard for me to track issues in long threads like upgrade threads.
You can edit your preferences such that smileys do not automatically show up for these shortcuts.  Even before the upgrade, if you use the emoticon popup to insert a smiley it used the code :smiley<whatever>.  However, if you read a message with something like ; ) you will see a smiley if your preferences are set to display them.  
To change this preference, go to My Profile and the Preferences tab.  Just under Display Settings is Emoticon type - set this to None.  Then, all characters like : ) will not display as an emoticon for you.  If someone has used the popup to insert an emoticon, you will see it displayed as a smiley  
Here's a test for you:    That should not be a smiley once you change this preference to None.
Thanks,
Laura

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

  • Is There a Shortcut Key for Change/Find ?

    Hello and thanks in advance,
    Using the InDesign CS-5  Find/Change feature, I am always using  the Change/Find button.
    *** Is there a way to create a shortcut key for this option, Change/Find ? ***
    Since I use it so often, it would be good if it could be one of the "F" keys:  F1, F2 or whatever.
    I looked under "Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts" ... but I could not find the option Change/Find there.  Did I miss it ?
    Thanks again,
    Zorba

    Here is what I have now done, based on the suggestions above:
    http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/robinwhitman/tech_support/id-edit-keyboard-shortcut s.jpg
    As you can see from the screen shot above,
    I have opened up the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu,
    Product Area:   Text and Tables
    In the Commands window I have selected:
    =====================
    Grep Replace wth Change to text and Find next
    ==============
    Now at this point, suppose I want to make the shortcut to activate this, the F4 key.
    I click to put the cursor into the cursor into the box that says, New Shortcut
    and then if I press "F4", it seems to be already taken by the Snow Leopard OS ... on my screen appears the Weather, calculator, calendar and clock.
    So I cannot assign the key and create the shortcut.
    Am I close to the goal here, or am I on the wrong track ?
    Thanks ... Zorba

  • Shortcut Key in JInternalFrame

    Hi,
    I have an application that has multiple JInternalFrames displayed within split panes. I am trying to set shortcut keys to cycle through the visible JInternalFrame. I have a Menu Item oCycleWindows, on which I called setAccelerator() with Ctrl+Shift+M. In th emenu handler for this item, I have defined a function that checks the current focussed internal frame, and accordingly picks the next one to get the focus.
    My problem is as follows: on clicking Ctrl+Shift+M, I am able to see that the next window has focus (the title bar color changes), but when I use the up/down keys to navigate within the newly focussed window, actually the navigation happens in the previous window....
    I have a tree view at the left, and two views at the right, and going from the tree view to any of the right views sometimes works correctly, sometimes doesn't (in fact i believe this happens every alternate time I shift to the non-tree view). Here, I have tables in the right views, and I try to select different rows using up/down keys once the right view has the focus, but the navigation occurs in the Tree view, with previous/next node getting selected instead!
    The funniest part is, the problem isn't there if the shortcut defined is 'F6', but for any other shortcut (F12, F11, Ctrl+M, Ctrl+Shift+M, Ctrl+K, CTrl+Shift+K etc.) this problem is seen.
    Does anyone have ANY idea why this happens? I tried to look up the bugs DB, but couldn't find anything specific to this...
    Sample Code:
    JMenuItem oCycWin = new JMenuItem("Cycle Windows");
    oCycWin.setMnemonic('C');
    oCycWin.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_M, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK | ActionEvent.SHIFT_MASK, true));
    //oCycWin.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F6, 0, true));
    oCycWin.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          /* oCurWin is a JInternalFrame object (extended class) that tracks the
             current focussed window
          if(oCurWin.ID == 1)
            oCurWin.ID = 2;
          else if(oCurWin.ID == 2)
            oCurWin.ID = 3;
          else
            oCurWin.ID = 1;
          oCurWin.setVisible(true);
          try
         oCurWin.setSelected(true);
          catch(java.beans.PropertyVetoException e)
         System.out.println("Can select oCurWin");
    });This code works fine for accelerator set as F6, and when we shift to the tree view. But sometimes on shifting focus to any of the right views, with accelerator not F6, although the right view appears to be focussed due to change in title bar color, the navigation continues in the tree view.
    Thanks...

    Hi,
    have you tried requesting the focus on your newly selected internal frame ?

  • What is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro

    Shift + U is not working
    how can i change shortcut key?

    I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
    Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

  • What happened to the 'Shape Mode' shortcut keys on the Pen Tool?

    For the longest time I've used both the Shape and Pen Tools for drawing vectors in Photoshop, but with CS6 I noticed a lot of weird behaviours. The one that is really getting to me is the lack of 'Shape Mode' shortcut keys when using the Pen Tool. When on the 'Shape Tool', fo example Cirle or Rectange, you can press the Shift to change the Shape Mode to 'Add', Alt to change it to 'Subtract' or both together to get 'Intersect'. This functionality used to exist on the Pen Tool too, but in CS6 I can't seem to get it working.
    A collegue suggested to move over to Illustrator for all my Vector needs, and I know that this a good advice. However the lack of quick/integrated changing between 'Shape Modes' in either product (now) makes drawing things alot slower (for me).
    Am I missing something, or is this feature now ommited in Photoshop CS6. If it is does anyone know if its possible to script something to allow this kind of behviour in Photoshop or Illustrator?
    cheers,
    Jon

    The modifier keys "Alt|Opt", "Ctrl|Cmd" and "Shift" work differently depending on the tool being used but the individual keys seem to provide somewhat related functions.
    For example the "Shift" key tends to be a constraining key Rectangle tools are constrained to square ellipse tools to Circles. However if there is an Active selection when you hold down the skey when you drag out a new selection it does not reset the current selection instead the new selection is not constrained and is added to the current selection. Shift constrains Transform tool to current aspect ratio,  Shift constrains Line tools to vertical, horizontal or 45 degree angles. Pen tool like line tool shift constrains the angle.
    The "Alt|Opt" key changes the way tools operate. Transforms are from the center not from the side or corner being dragged.  Selection tools like the rectangle and ellipse will cause the intal drag out be from the center however it there is a Active selection dragging out a new selection will be subtracted from the current selection. This key changes the Pen tool from draw mode to anchor point adjusting.
    The "Shift" and "Alt|Opt" modifier keys can be used together to have an operation be both constrain and from the center.
    The "Ctrl|Cmd" key seems to change the way a tool works on a control anchor point.  The Pen Tool changes from Pen Draw mode to Direct Selection tool to facilitate moving the point.  Transform can be distorted a single corner point can be moved and distort the rectangle bounding box.
    These keys may have other functions I don't know about.  Photoshop has many features so many I don't know if any one person know and uses all of them. For the rest of us they seem to be Photoshop hidden secrets.

  • Shortcut keys not working

    On my Mac (OSX 10.9.5), the 'step backwards' shortcut key (cmd-alt-z) isn't working; nothing happens.
    On my Windows (Windows 7) pc, the 'step forwards' shortcut key (ctrl-shift-z) isn't working.
    If I go into the shortcut menu and change the shortcut key, it doesn't let me change it back to the original shortcut (cmd-alt-z) and I have to reset the keybindings.
    I have tried resetting preferences. All of the keys on both keyboards work, and I can use those keys as shortcuts in other software. I'm using photoshop CC (2014).
    Any suggestions to get the shortcut keys working again?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    If you have Photoshop CC or older, install the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin.
    And install the MacOS 10.10.1 update.
    if you have any other queries please reply

  • PP CS6 PageUp & PageDn shortcut keys not working

    Heads up... This may look like a simple topic that's been covered before, but read on and you'll see it's different.
    I've been using Premiere since v5.5 (Windows 95, not CS 5.5!). I use lots of shortcut keys for all my apps. Premiere has always used PageUp and PageDn to move the cursor to the next edit point (any cut video or audio clip). In PP CS6, I went into change the shortcut keys for those two commands to the same ones I've been using for years. PP CS6 has two sets of options for cursor movements: Selected Track(s) or Any Track. The Any Track is the way it's worked before in earlier versions of PP. I set the Any Tracks Next/Previous to PageDown and PageUp respectively. The actual keystrokes appear in the hot-key window when I press them so I know PP sees the keys and knows what they are.
    When I saved the shortcuts and went to the timeline... nada. PgUp and PgDn do nothing. This has nothing to do with selected video tracks as I'm using the Any Tracks option. To do a further test, I changed the shortcut keys to Ctrl+PgUp and Ctr+PgDn for Any Track. When I  tested that out, it worked perfectly. So this appears to be a bug of some kind. I've been using PgUp and  PgDn for many years. I certainly don't want to have to hold the Ctrl key down while Paging Up and Down to move around the project from clip to clip!
    Does anyone have a solution to this one?
    Thanks for your help...

    "But you can set any shortcut key to suit whatever keys you have available."
    Yeah, I know, but every now and then I have to reinstall and then there's the agony of changing again from the defaults :-( In the end, like 'em or hate 'em, sticking with the defaults usually makes for an easier life. I say that as someone who has been commercially programming since 1967 and forced to use practically every crazy language and stupid machine ever invented ;-)

  • Staroffice 8 Zoom Shortcut keys not working

    (Solaris 10, Staroffice 8 U3 rev 2, Sunray)
    The shortcut keys for zoom in Drawing and Presents used to be the "+", "-", "/" and "*" keys (with num lock ON).
    The issue:
    The + and - keys still zoom in and out, but the / and * keys no longer zoom anything
    What I am expecting:
    The "/" should zoom to the "selection" and the * key should zoom to the page
    Notes:
    - the "zoom" button is enabled in a toolbar, and it changes to the appropriate "icon" when I hit the / and * keys, but nothing happens to the view
    - I have tried this with different keyboards.
    - I have tried this on openoffice on a mac, with similar results
    Could this be a bug, or is it something i'm missing?
    Cheers,
    - jd

    Also the toolbar icons are not working as expected.
    When I'm pressing zoom-in or zoom-out the position of the worksheet is shifting to another coordinate.
    Zooming in to a specific point is not possible, so I have to zoom-in first and then reposition the worksheet next.
    Zooming out also ends up with an extra repositioning of the worksheet.
    DM is 3.1.1.703, OS is windows 7.
    Any feedback if this is reproduceable on other installations.

  • 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?
