FM 10 keyboard shortcuts: clear format overrides

I'm so pleased to be back … FM is one of the platforms available at my new workplace, and I hope (of course) to introduce the tried and trusted FM/Acrobat workflow I've been used to elsewhere.
That aside, my first FM 10 question: the "clear overrides" shortcut – esc, o,c,m, was it? – seems to have been hijacked for content management options. Any hints on where how to access this function would be welcome, now I'm tidying up existing documents. Thanks in advance.

Niels,
Klaus Daube has a list of commands (FM11, but it will apply to FM10 as well) at http://daube.ch/docu/files/etb-fm11-commands.pdf
Scott Prentice has a great utility ListShortcuts (http://leximation.com/tools/info/listshortcuts.php) that creates a document in table form showing all the FM commands and associated shortcuts in the currently installed version of FM.
There also are summary tables of most of the common shortcuts in the online & PDF documentation for FM10.
Unfortuantely, the esc o c p shortcut has been defined twice (bad Adobe, bad! - doesn't anybody QC these files???) in the \fminit\configui\cmds.cfg with the later one being the CMSPrefrence command. To get back the original CharacterDefaultPgfFont operation, simply comment out the section (or change the Key sequence definition):
<Command CMSPreference
   <Label Preferences...>
   <KeySequence \!ocp>
   <Definition \x804>
   <Mode All>>
located near the end of the cmds.cfg file (starts at line 4394 in my version) by placing a semi-colon in the first column of each "commented" line.

  • Keyboard shortcuts cleared after updating to ios 8.0.2

    After updating my iPhone 6 from IOS8 to IOS 8.0.2, the keyboard shortcuts have been cleared out.  I've tried to reset the Keyboard Dictionary but no change.

    Many others have the same problem. They say misery loves company. Does this help?

  • Mountain Lion's Mail doesn't recognize keyboard shortcuts for formatting characters.

    Usually in Mail you can press Command-I, and the characters you type are italicized. The same with Command-B (bold), Command-U (Underline), etc. After installing Mountain Lion, these keyboard shortcuts are no longer recognized in Mail. The only way to format characters is to select text, control-click the highlighted text, and from the contextual menu select Font, which lets one choose Bold, Italic, or Underline.
    How can I make Mail work with the supposedly built-in keyboard shortcuts?
    (I experienced this problem with Snow Leopard, but my installation of Lion corrected the issue. Now Mountain Lion brings it back agian. Sheesh.)

    (x-post) Ended up on a call with apple support. THey had me disable login items and go through system folder and dump a lot of extensions.  Kill all /library/launchagents and /library/launchdaemons  all of them.
    He said the likely culprits are /library/extensions... instanton and soundflower. I killed those.
    so my system has been given an enema, and the problem has gone away.

  • Is there shortcut key to clear the overrides in In Design CS 5.5 ?

    Here's the video explaining what I desperately need:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MukSbjAjGmk
    Can anybody help?

    The easiest way to do this is with Object Styles.
    You can even set the Width of your text frame - and set the first baseline - which would speed things up for you immensely.
    Here I've made an example of what I mean - check out the Object Style called "Text"
    http://www.filedropper.com/test_15
    The other thing you can do is assign a Keyboard Shortcut to almost everything in indesign (Bar a few things)
    Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts
    You can then Assign a Shortcut to your Paragraph Style - effectively you could have something Like CTRL ALT 1 for Clear Overrides, and CTRL ALT 2 for the Paragraph Style you want to apply.

  • How do I add a keyboard shortcut to remove formatting?

    I want to be able to copy a text (⌘C) and then, before pasting it (⌘V), be able to remove the formatting of the text by using another combination (for example ctrlC)
    The question is, how do I make my Mac do that?
    Thanks!

    Hi there Nikkei88,
    It sounds like you may be trying to Paste and Match style. The short cut for this is Command-Shift-Option-V. The article below has a list of the common OS X keyboard shortcuts.

  • Keyboard shortcut for "Clear" brush mode?

    I saw on this site http://helpx.adobe.com/en/photoshop/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html#WS17DDC46E-8F05- 4250-8CFC-EE0AB2E6EF84a
    that the keyboard shortcut for CLEAR brush blending mode was shift+alt+R for windows. I tried it but I keep hearing that "DING ERROR" sound everytime I try. Most of the normal shortcuts work but that one and a few others dont for some reason.

  • Overriding OS keyboard shortcut

    Saw this question kind of asked in another thread. But the info wasn't correct. Using InDesign to Hide/Show Frame Edges the keyboard command is Command-^-h, when I use this, the system overrides and hides open folders. I can't find that in the keyboard shortcuts to uncheck. Is it possible or is it a locked default?

    oops sorry, I have figured it out, it supposed to be option f9, not shift f9

  • Clear Appearance Keyboard shortcut

    Perhaps I'm missing it but it would sure be nice to have a Keyboard Shortcut option for Clear Appearance since in my work I constantly use it. There should also be a *clear* explanation about how this and graphic styles relate to layers and objects (together or separately). All that I can find is some nebulous reference to partially selected' for such work. Why not tell us your thinking. I have had to spend days and days of wasted time trying to figure out just how it works and finally know more than I did, but your Help files need to reflect 'this is our methodology in styles and clear appearance. Thanks.

    Jim,
    In recent days you have requested several new keyboard shortcuts you want to see added to AI. When you make such suggestions, I would suggest that you suggest
    which keys you would like to see used.
    Fact is, if you do a little experimentation, you'll find that in AI, there are precious few practical keyboard shortcuts not already used up.
    Endlessly adding keyboard shortcuts is not the solution to the confused mess that Illustrator's interface has evolved into. It's a poorly designed interface, having continuously had new features piled-upon, rather than cleanly integrated. Illustrator has lost all trace of interface elegance.

  • Override Keyboard Shortcuts - Possible?

    PS CS3 on Win Vista 64, here, with a problem renaming objects in Bridge.
    Is it possible to override the "Return to Adobe Photoshop" keyboard shortcut command Ctrl+Alt+O? I write most of my file names in the Hawaiian language, which includes the letter "o" with a macron (ō), generated on the standard Hawaiian Unicode keyboard with keystroke (Right)Alt+O. No problem in any other application, but the (Right)Alt+O combination in Bridge opens Photoshop instead of producing the letter I need in the file name. Since I have no other way of writing correct file names but I do have other ways of toggling between Bridge and Photoshop, I want to delete or override the "Return to Adobe Photoshop" shortcut command.
    Is this possible? Any ideas as to how? FAQ & KB searches have come up with nothing so far.
    Mahalo

    Tried that before I posted here, though I appreciate the suggestion. I have already customised many shortcuts in Photoshop, but the specific shortcut I'm concerned with here is not one of those that can normally be modified by the user. It seems to be imbedded only in Bridge, which has no user interface for shortcut management. I guess what I'm looking for is a hack.
    Anybody else?

  • What is keyboard shortcut to clear Macbook screen?

    I have been using my MacBook Pro to run extended desktops on two monitors.  Now, when I start up my MacBook, I get a grey screen instead of the desktop.
    Is there a keyboard shortcut to bypass the grey screen and take me to the desktop on startup?

    no.

  • Is there a way to use Frame 8 keyboard shortcuts in 9?

    I understand that there is a new UI, but my coworker wants to remain on Frame 8 if he can't use the shortcuts he's been using for 15 years (muscle memory lasts a long time). Is there any way (a preference maybe) to use the F8 shortcuts? I saw a trick for scrolling through paragraph styles starting with the same letter using the down arrow. (Hello Adobe? It is not reasonable to suggest having headings names start with a unique letter. There are huge and current books that have all their tags already. And there are only but so many letters.) If there is no way to use F8, is there a table somewhere of what to do now?
    Thanks so much.

    So here are a few specific problems:
    1. Ctrl 8 and 9 make you use the down arrow key to cycle through letters. How would I change the ini file so that I could just keep hitting the letter?
    2. When I start typing something and then realize I've hit the wrong letter, it seems I need to backspace to the begining to correct it. I used to be able to just start up with the correct letter.
    3. Sometimes I hit Ctrl 9 and I do not get the small box where the style names display, I only see the arrow that I then need to mouse over to and click to list the styles. Why is that?
    4. If I accidently hit Ctrl 8 when I wanted 9 (for example), I have to hit escape and then start again. Previously, hitting the correct sequence twice would get me where I wanted.
    That's all I can think of now...I appreciate the assistance...jen
    The operation of the menu that opens with Ctrl+8 and similar commands has changed in recent releases. It's not clear if it's due to a bug or a design intention. You can ask for a bug fix or feature enhancement at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
    Search FrameMaker help for Keyboard Shortcuts for lists of useful shortcuts. Even if you open a menu with a different shortcut - say Escape q p, or Escape q c (quick paragraph or character format list) instead of Ctrl+8 or 9, the menu still misbehaves.
    I haven't tried typing a different shortcut with the Escape-key method, while in a "wrong" one, to see if that works as you remember the Ctrl+ method, but it's more keystrokes than typing Escape.
    It's not customizable in maker.ini.
    There are third-party keystroke recorder utilities that may be useful. For example, you could invoke a shortcut that opens a Ctrl+ or Escape-key menu, then types the specific command you want (without mis-typing) and executes it. Search for keystroke macro recorders on Google.

  • Why does Lightroom not have custom keyboard shortcuts?

    Lightroom is a workflow app. It's not just about raw conversion, which could be done in ACR, but about speeding up the whole process of selecting, editing and cataloging photos. 
    It seems to me that out of all Adobe apps, Lightroom is the one which should have customisable keyboard shortcuts.
    I've been using lightroom since shortly after it came put and I've been using the open-source plug-in keyboard customizer Paddy for several years which works okay at the moment. Each lightroom release breaks Paddy in some way and it's not as smooth as it could be if it was built in. Even so, I estimate I'm 2-10 time faster editing many photos with paddy than I would be without.
    I know that even adobe's resources are limited, but adding keyboard shortcuts should be easy, certainly compared to re-verse engineering RAW file formats or fixing complex lens distortions!
    At this point it seems clear that Adobe are choosing not to let us customise keyboard shortcuts. I'm not trying to change their mind, but I really want to know w
    It perplexes me, why don't Adobe add what seems liek a simple feature which could speed up Lightroom use by an order of magnitude???

    On Victoria Bampton's website she has a downloadable PDF file named "Adobe Lightroom 5 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts." (Windows, not sure about Mac). Its about 12 pages long. I assume that this is what you are looking for. www.lightroomqueen.com.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for functions inside paragraph styles panel possible?

    I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for functions inide the paragraph styles panel in PS CS6.
    It seems that no option to do this  is exposed - ist this correct?

    That's an interesting approach and it made me aware about menu item insertation - but unfortunately none of the suggested works.
    Clear overrides when executed by button can work both on selections of text and on complete text blocks, the recorded version of
    pressing the button disregards that there's a selection and therefore only works globally. The menu insertation method can not deal
    with existing selections either - it's entry is greyed out in the actions panel when portions of the text are selected.

  • How do I clear multiple overrides at once?

    I have hundreds of text items that are tied to a paragraph style. Somehow I accidentally changed the font on most of the objects (the style still defines the correct font). Now most text objects that use this style have an asterisk in the Paragraph Styles panel. I know how to clear the override on an object-by-object (i.e., reapply the paragraph style or choose Clear Overrides), but is there a way to do it to hundreds of items (that are scattered on different layers)? I thought Select | Same | Appearance would work, but it selects objects with different paragraph styles. I hoped I could select all objects and choose Clear Overrides, but the command is only active when one object is selected. I'm now hoping I don't have to go through every object one at a time...
    Thanks!

    It would be beneficial if it worked that way, but it doesn't. As soon as multiple text objects or different paragraphs are selected, the Clear Override command is unavailable. Also, the Ctrl-Alt shortcut does not do it here.
    However, there is a somewhat hidden loophole:
    1. Highlight a paragraph that contains at least one override.
    2. In the Actions palette, start recording a new action.
    3. Go to the Paragraph Styles palette menu and execute the Clear Overrides command.
    4. Stop recording the action.
    Now select any number of text objects that involve some different style overrides and apply the action. All overrides will be cleared.
    That's no consistent behaviour, of course.
