Hot Keys - applications

It would be great to be able to assign Hot Keys to different applications. For example, hit "T" for tools, so you don't have to navigate the menu; or "C" for camera etc.

The alternative command is Command-TAB.
When WoW operates in full screen it might not work however.
You posted in the wrong forum BTW.
Please post in the appropriate forum next time.
E.g. in one of the Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger forums.
Hope this helps.

How do I turn off hot key commands for the application menu/main nav?

(I am using Photoshop CC on windows 7 64bit)
I continue to have this problem which in many ways slows down my workflow. It is a bit difficult to explain so bare with me here.
When I am working through the different functions and tools like switching from the polygonal lasso tool to duplicating a layer and then nudging the image with the directional keys the application menu/main nav is selected instead of the designated hot key and I need to hit esc twice to exit the main nav selection and go back to the tool I was using... “I did say this would be hard to explain”.
Let me paint a specific scenario that causes this to happen:
I want to create a mirror reflection for a product. I first duplicate the product image, then I flip it vertically and drag it to the bottom of the base image. Then I hit the directional up button to nudge it into place but this doesn’t work because by hitting the directional button ‘File’ from the main nav is selected. In order to return to the ‘move tool’ I need to hit esc twice or hit the mouse button once. This may not sound like a big deal and it’s not but do this 500 times a day for a week with the ‘polygonal lasso tool or PLT’ and tell me it’s not a big deal after that. When using the ‘PLT’ you have no option but to hit the esc button twice because if you click the mouse button you place an anchor for the PLT and chance loosing anything you have already preselected with the PLT.
Anyway, moral of the story is... I have a mouse which is more than proficient in selecting File, Edit, Image, Type and any other main nav query. I would love the hot keys to select just the tools and simply leave the main nav out of it... when I first purchased CS5 this function was not apparent. It was only after an update or maybe I blindly changed a preference and poof... every second hot key I push I select something from the main nav which is a completely pointless and annoying function for me which I have never used and never ever will.
Please Adobe tech masters, help me! I will be forever in your debt.
Cheers,
Tony

Not a problem in the Adobe software. Something is wrong with your input devices or you have something on your system that instates global, system-wide shortcuts that may conflict with application specific ones. You need to figure out what it is.

Hot keys in AIR application

I know hotkeys can be registered for menu items. Is it
possible to register a global hot-key? So that it will invoke a
delegate in an AIR application when you are doing something else
within your platform (OS)? If this is not available, sort of like
the shell access (executing other applications), it would be nice
to know if these are on the road-map for future AIR or if it will
never happen?

Hi,
Global hot keys are not supported in AIR 1.0.
However, you can submit a feature request (with a descriptive
use-case) at

accesskey in HTML only activates the focus on the element and does not fire the action, It will only fire the action in HTML5 enabled browsers (at least browsers supporting this feature)

Hot keys as Access keys

hi ,
i want to give HOT KEYS as the access key attribute for my adf faces core components. for example, i have a af:input text field,.
i want to keep access key for it as HOT KEY(F1 or any hot key upto F12)..
is it possible to keep hot keys as access key for components?

Hi,
no, but you can set combnations of alt+char. This can be set directly in the component properties. If you want to use hot keys then you would need to write JavaScript on the client to intercept the key and do whatever you want it to do. Note that dependent of the browser you use some keys are reserved by the browser and not available for the application.

OK, I give up. Where is the hot key to download the new OS Lion?

OK, I give up. Where is the hot key to download the new OS Lion? I have looked on all the pages and can't seem to find it.

You need to run the App Store Application and buy it through there using your Apple ID / Account (same as iTunes)

Rotate canvis unintuitive, hot key limitations, new adjustment layer features? Brush size slider bad

I've been using photoshop for a while, as well as a number of 3D applications. Speed and efficiency have always been very important, and I usually customize my software a lot to make it work for me. These are some of the things photoshop could do better in comparison to the user interfaces in some 3D programs.
Rotate canvas unintuitive:
While having a center pivot seems more intuitive at first, it actually causes me nothing but trouble having to always figure out where the center is, and then deciding how close i am (which will change speed of rotation). I would like at least an option to simply drag left and drag right for clockwise and counterclockwise at a specific speed.
Hot Key Limitations:
alt R and control R and shift R cannot be assigned to different things. I would prefer it if i could customize all of these.
new adjustment layer features:
often when painting in photoshop, i create an adjustment layer over all the layers. If i like how it looks, and want to continue painting, i have to either turn it off while i work and switch it on at the end again, flatten the entire painting loosing the layer separations, or duplicate the adjustment layer and setting it next to each pre-existing layer and then merging each set of 2 layers(the original + the duplicated adjustment layer).
It would be really wonderful if the process of duplicating the adjustment layers and flattening each set of 2 could be automated. a sort of Flatten to all individually button.
Brush Size Slider:
Zbrush has a very wonderful brush size change. I never appreciated it until trying photoshops. (previously to this i used another piece of hardware with a scroll wheel to change brush size. and still do. why the heck is the first brush size jump 10 units!?! simply a linear brush size change would have been awesome. although including a brush size slider is already pretty awesome
These things have been bothering me for a long time, and i always assume these problems that are obvious to me are probably obvious to everybody else and therefore will be fixed without my small intervention, but i figure this cant hurt. Thanks for all the hard work and the wonderful product!

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

Hot key(Ctrl+F1) for More field help not working

Hi all,
I am facing a strange problem. When I have run my WD application there will be some UI elements on the browser say one Input field. If I want to check the More information about this input field, I have to make a right mouse click on it and the More field help appears. By this I am getting the technical information about the UI element.
The Hot key to do this is Ctrl+F1. It's not working with in my server, it's just open the Internet explorer Help. Although I am able to use this Hot key in an other server to find the More field help.
Can anyone suggest me why I am not able to get the More field info from the Hot key Ctrl+F1 in my server. Is there any setting which needs to be made in my server.
I have also tried out to check the HandleHotKeys property of the ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER in my view but it's not working for me as well.
Please suggest what will be the reason.
Thanks
Sanket sethi.

Your right, I was thinking the opposite - that it wasn't working in 7.0.
Perhaps this change is becuase F1 now launches the Help Center as of 7.01 and higher.
I'm not sure there is a hot key associated with the more field help any longer. I checked the javaScript and F1 is tied to the "help" event (the help center). Alt, Shift or Ctrl - F1 are all routed back to the browser help functionality (bHelp). See this screenshot:

Hot keys for the button

hi friends,
Is it possible to remove a mnemonic associated with a button based on the focus of the cursor?
For example, when focus is on text field TF1, the button B1 should have a hot key ALT_B but when the focus is on textfield TF2, the button B1 should not have the hot key ALT_B.. that is, if focus is on TF2 and user enters ALT_B.. button B1 action should not be performed.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Deepa Raghuraman

You could use Button.setMnemonic(0) (thats the method that takes an int as the argument) to disable the mnemonic. And Button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_B) to enable it again (for the character 'b').
But don't misunderstand me either, if I open a new dialog and see a button that signifies to me : You can use ALT_B to toggle me because thats the character that has a line below it, I would be surprised it that doesn't work just a few seconds later, because some application logic took that feature away from me.
Think about it, but otherwise the above methods should work. May you have to repaint/inavlidate the button to set/remove the underlined character

Hot Keys, or lack thereof.

I was just wondering why there is no hot key for tool selection in Apple Works. Can this be enabled or is the program just that bad? I am using the drawing palette and clicking everywhere seems so 1986ish.

Hi Gregory,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
None that I know of.
Your "1986ish" comment is reasonably accurate. AppleWorks's genesis was as an Apple II gs application at StyleWare in 1986. The Mac version, ClarisWorks 1.0 was released in 1991. Despite the name change to AppleWorks during vwersion 5, most of the changes since '91 have tended toward the cosmetic more than the functional (I overgeneralize here).
The port to OS X was done quickly, and around that time, Apple's attention moved to new software rather than a full rewrite of AW from the ground up. Development essentially stopped in 2004, and Apple officially declared EOL on AppleWorks in 2007.
Great application, still useful, but missing some of the more recent bells and whistles.
Regards,
Barry

Changing the function of the Media Player Hot Key on the Laptop itself

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change what the Media Player Hot Key on the Laptop itself does? I've got the Power Button, Internet, Media Player, Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind & Fast Forward, but the Media Player Hot Key is pretty useless to me, and I'd like to change its function, to open Outlook instead, but does anyone know if that's even possible?
I'm almost positive that there's a way, but I just can't seem to find it, if anyone can help me, then I would really appreciate it,
Cheers.

Hi
I remember it was possible to assign different functions to the control buttons on several units.
I dont know what unit your use but you should check the Toshiba control button application which could be installed on your notebook.
You should find it in the control panel
This application could allow you to configure the control buttons.
But if this software will not provide this option you will be not able to change the functionality

Want to log my keystrokes INCLUDING hot-keys/shortcuts...possible?

I am working on a personal project, and want to log my keystokes (essentially a Keylogger.) But the KICKER being that I want to not only see my keystrokes and character, but the MANY keyboard shortcuts I use daily on my Mac. It's just for a personal research project, and the keyloggers, I've seen and tried doesnt log modifer keys. Any help to find out if this is possible first, and secondly any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
I want to "capture" and make alist of ALL the keyboard shortcuts I use that native to the MacOs. Besides stoping and jotting down, or audio recording these as I go, there has to be another way
Thanks Community!

Hi,
no, but you can set combnations of alt+char. This can be set directly in the component properties. If you want to use hot keys then you would need to write JavaScript on the client to intercept the key and do whatever you want it to do.

Adding Custom Hot Keys, not Keyboard Shortcuts

So, I've gone online and done some research but I can't seem to find anything on creating custom, universal hot keys. Everything seems to be about keyboard shortcuts, which are great within the applications, but I'm looking to create Hot Keys that launch applications or folders.
For example, in Quicksilver (which is no longer working for some reason) I had a trigger to open my Applications folder set at "controlshiftA" one for my documents folder at "controlshiftD" and one to launch Safari at "controlshiftZ" but I can't seem to set this up without some sort of app launcher.
I also don't want to use an app launcher because the additional engine it uses just clogs up my resources and increases my start-up time by about a minute....

You can't. You need an application launcher for those tasks.

as I said there is no way around that. either you use an application launcher or you won't have that functionality. 1 minute extra startup time sounds way too much. I use Butler, not quicksilver but I know for sure it only adds a few seconds and consumes very few resources when it runs. I suspect it's the same way with Quicksilver.

Hot Keys for TextBoxes

Hi all,
I am working on MAC OS X and create an application in java using Net Beans 5.5 .
Application shows 3 controls on a dialog having
one label, one textbox and a button control.
I have set hot keys for both label and button by putting
'&' in their name like "My&Label" and "My&Button"
when i run the application And press (Alt+ L) focuse is not going on Textbox but when i press (Alt + B) then button click event is working
how do i set hot keys for a textbox in front of a label control
thanks in advance

I think you need to set the setLabelFor and setDisplayedMnemonic properties of the label.
From the API docs:
If the displayedMnemonic property is set and the labelFor property is also set, the label will call the requestFocus method of the component specified by the labelFor property when the mnemonic is activated.
