Glitch with the Arrow Keys on the Keyboard

Hello all,
I apologize if this has been addressed somewhere before, I assure you I've checked the FAQ's but to no avail. Out of the blue my arrow, or "nudge" keys on the keyboard for moving objects incrementally stopped working. I have to select objects and move them with the mouse or with the "Move" menu etc. The crazy thing is that the keys work in other areas of the program, like scrolling through font's and such, as well as all other apps, Photoshop, Flash, etc. I'm just stabbing here to make sure I didn't unintentially disable those keys in the program somewhere. It's not a huge deal, aggravating, and very, very, strange. BTW, I have done the uninstall, reinstall but no change. Any input will be appreciated...

Something else to consider is the increment setting you have entered in your preferences.
If it's exceedingly small (say 0.001 pt) you may not see the movement from a number of keypress arrow nudges unless you're zoomed in tight.
Resetting your Illustrator prefs will merely set it back to the default, which is something you
i can
see at normal viewing magnification.

    I just purchased my first iPad (the new one) and a wireless keyboard. Is there a keyboard usage manual available anywhere that shows the functions of the keys? The info that came with the keyboard was very basic and my searches have been unsuccessful.

    If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard on your iPad device, you should take advantage of the keyboard shortcuts for quicker access to copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, and other commands.
    Command + C : Copy Selected Text
    Command + V : Paste
    Command + X: Cut Selected Text
    Command + Z: Undo
    Command + Shift + Z: Redo
    Command + Delete: Delete everything to the left of the cursor on the current line
    Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
    Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
    Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
    Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line
    Command + Right Arrow: Go to end of current line
    F1: Dim screen
    F2: Brighten screen
    F7: Back one song
    F8: Play/pause song
    F9: Skip song
    F10: Mute
    F11: Decrease volume
    F12: Increase volume
    Eject button: Show or hide onscreen keyboard

  • Dreamweaver CC crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows.

    I'm really fond of the new Dreamweaver CC, but on some occasions, it crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows, for example, to move it two or three pixels.
    This is happening on a recent pc (i5 / 16Gb ram / Intel SSD / Bootcamped Windows 8 x64)
    F12 is also really slow when publishing via Chrome. Firefox or Internet Explorer is faster.
    Is there a fix for these issues?
    Thanks,
    D

    Apart from the FluidGrid Layouts feature, DW is not a click and drag app like Photoshop or Muse.   You should be using the CSS panels to align elements with floats, margins and padding.
    Keep Chrome open and refresh browser (F5).

  • How do you select a single image with the keyboard?

    I can use the "/" key to deselecting the current photo but how do I select the current photo with the keyboard? Usually the space bar is used for this but that displays the image. Is the only way to select the current photo by using the mouse?

    OK, now that the question has been clarified....
    Pressing and holding the Shift key as you move through the grid with the arrow keys will individually multi-select them, but that breaks down if you want non-contiguous selections, i.e. lifting off the shift key to skip a photo will cause all previous selections to be lost when you use the arrow key to advance. I think the only way for non-contiguous selection is ctrl-click.

  • Select discontiguous rows in a table with the keyboard

    I am using jdk 1.3.1 and have tried this on 1.4 as well. I don't seem to be able to select discontiguous rows in a table using the keyboard. I can Ctrl-click with the mouse to do this but can't find a way to do this with the keyboard. I searched and found somebody asked this same question before and the reply was it works in 1.3.1. I am not seeing this. What could I be missing? The Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down keys don't do anything and neither does the spacebar.

    I'm pretty sure you can't do this using the standard JTable interface.
    You might be able to write your own keyboard listener and fake focus events for up&down arrow, but making this work seamlessly with JTable seemss like it would not be trivial.

  • Something weird with the keyboard

    Hello everyone, i have this strange problem with my wireless keyboard. Everytime i type down a letter, it appears down as many times as i hold the button. Every letter, except X. It is the only letter that i can only type one time, even if i hold it down for several seconds. I don't think there is something wrong with the keyboard or the specific number, because when I hit it again and again the letter appears. Only when i hold it down it only appears once. I know this is not something to bother about, since i can type the letter, but i am curious to find out why this happens. If anyone could tell me, please, do not hesitate

    This is due to the manufacturing of the keyboard itself. The way its setup is that the keys that are giving problems are obviously located on a different chip and are being recognized as a different device, therefor fail to start or function at all in lowlevel driver enviroment.
    There are threads all over the internet about how these expensive keyboards are causing problems with Win7 because of how they are made. Just don't buy too expensive of a keyboard that has a bunch of extra things because those "extra things" are handled differently then a typical keyboard, which is counted as one device. My Saitek red Eclipse works perfectly fine, though it doesn't have extra programmable macro buttons or anything (and thats why it works). It does have volume + -, mute, and backlight adjustment buttons though.
    Surely that cannot be the case.  This keyboard works fine with every other motherboard including the lower-end P67S-C45 that I have sitting next to me.  Also, lets not confuse the issue, this problem does not affect Windows.

  • I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. What is it?

    Yes, EEK!
    Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
    Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
    Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
    Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?
    In System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard & Text Input, doe the check marks look like the following:

  • How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups with the keyboard?

    Yes I know that CTRL-SHIFT-E opens the panorama window, and then I can use the mouse to organize my tabs into groups.
    But how do I do this with the keyboard?
    I've [http://lifehacker.com/#!5719596/switch-between-tab-groups-in-firefox-with-a-keyboard-shortcut read] [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705714 that] Ctrl-`should move me through tab groups. That doesn't work for me on my Danish keyboard. (Where the ' and ` chars are weird. But is how they are on a valid standard Danish keyboard) I've tried changing the keyboard to USA and then moving through tab groups works fine.
    In short: Pretend I don't have a mouse. How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups?

  • How do you bookmark to a folder with the keyboard?

    Since getting in to the habit of better organizing my bookmarks, I have bookmark folders that are up to three levels deep.
    How can I save a bookmark to a specific folder without having to use the mouse or click "Choose..."?
    It would be nice if there were a way to just type it, with folder suggestions coming up.
    I.e. I would be able to hit Ctrl+D, type the name, hit tab, and type Classes\303\HW to have it bookmark to that folder. Right now, I can only bookmark to recently used folders with the keyboard.
    I know this can be done with the mouse, but I am looking for a fast way with the keyboard, possible with a plugin of some sort.

    I will check out the add-ons, see if there is anything that would make it a little faster, but the '''ctrl+d, tab, tab, space combination''' should be good enough for now, I'm surprised I missed that. I knew about the five most recent, but that wasn't enough for me.
    Thanks for the help!

  • The "Apple ID Password box along with the keyboard keeps popping up on my iPad and stays there.  I have changed my email address on my iMac but my old one still remains on the iPad.  Also changed password.  Nothing works!  I can't use the iPad like this!

    The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there.  I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password.  The old email address is still on the iPad.  Anyway, I can't use the iPad because can't get the apple id password box to go away.  Thanks for any help!

    This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.
