How can I get the keyboard commands to do what they are spozed to do?

Some keyboard commands work OK. But some do unexpected things. For example, when I press the F11 key in InDesign, the page parts like a curtain opening leaving the empty desktop; the same key toggles the page back again. What the F11 key should do is open the Paragraph Style palette. Strangely, the "single-digit" commands -- F5, F6, etc. work OK. But those with 2 digits -- F11, F12 -- do not. (This is a G5 iMac with the original keyboard.) How can I fix this?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

That's Apple's Exposé at work. To change the keys for that, go into System Preferences, then Dashbord & Exposé (top row, second in). You can change the keys, disable it, or assign corners of the screen to do it.
Conversely, you could go into InDesign -> Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts and change the Paragraph style pallete (gotta dig for that) command to Command f-keys.
I'd actually do the second one, as easy access to Exposé just rules - once you get used to it, it will be second nature. It's especially helpful when you have a pile of Photoshop and InDesign windows open, and need to find one particular one, or need to see something on the desktop.

  • How can I get the keyboard to work ?

    I am using a Windows disc that has multiple software versions of the Windows OS and must choose A-J to get the Windows XP-SP2 version. The problem is that at this point of the install there does not appear to be any drivers for keyboard function. I am using Leopard. I don't believe I had this issue with Tiger. I have tried using the original Apple keyboard which does not work at this point. I have an old windows KB but it does not have a USB plug. Is there a way to get keyboard function at this point of the install. Thank you in advance for any advice.

    I want to clarify my problem. When Boot Camp starts and brings you to the windows screen,this is where my problem exists. I have a corporate cd that has multiple Windows programs on it, Window XP SP2 being one of them. This is choice G. At this point in the start up I have no keyboard control. I did try removing all USB devices and used the original Mac keyboard with no luck. Interestingly I did not have this issue in tiger, I think. Some how prior to Leopard I was able to access the choice in the DOS screen. I'm thinking that this may be an issue with the firmware but I am not sure. The firmware is up to date. If you have any other suggestions other than spending $200 on a Windows XP disc I would love to hear about it. If I open the Corporate DVD I can find what I need and make a disc but I don't know how to make it bootable . Many thanks.

  • How can I get the keyboard program InKey to work with InDesign?

    I use InKey to type special characters, particularly underlined vowels, for another language. This has worked fine in Microsoft Word with most Unicode fonts. However in InDesign, the underlines do not line up under the letter; or, more commonly, they just display as a pink space or box after the letter. Simply using the Underline format on these letters is not sufficient to be able to check their spelling.

    Oh, cool! I never handle any Mayan stuff in my job, but many of my academic cohort have done so. Mostly Tzotzil.
    Anyhow: your sample font was Times New Roman. If you can't see the combining glyphs, then you're using an out-of-date version of the font, or something else is wrong. . Did you maybe start your work on a contemporary version of Word in WIndows, and now you've shifted to using a Mac with an older version of Office? THere are plenty of nulls in TNR (which are usually codepoints not in Unicode, usually a sign of some kind of hacky workaround on the part ofthe font designer). There should be a real combining macron below right about here, in between the crazy upper Latin and the Greek caps :
    So I'd want to know: what font are you using for this? If not TNR, then I'd suggest Gentium. I might even suggest dropping TNR for Gentium. Judging by your screen name, you may well already be aware of SIL. If not - oh hey, they make fonts for people who are in your shoes! Go check 'em out. The fonts are free, and pretty reliable. And Gentium may already have a precomposed with-line-below glyph for your typesetting needs.
    The Kerning dropdown lets you adjust the spacing between letters in a letter-by-letter way. Selecting all of your text and picking "Metrics" is the way to go here - unless you are a designer who thinks that the capital D is way too far away from the lowercase i, and want to tweak the kerning manually. "Optical" is for large font sizes where body-text-style kerning is too spacious. Avoid using it at small font sizes.

  • How can I get the Voiceover Keyboard shortcuts to show up in a form in which I can copy

    I have low vision & have been trying to learn to use Voiceover on both my iPhone & my Mac mini for months. Very frustrating.
    1. How can I get the Voiceover keyboard shortcut commans to show up in a form in which I can copy & paste them into a pages document so I can print it out & use for quick reference?? The one that shows up when I press VO +HH won't let me copy & paste it, & it won't show up in the Help section no matter what subject I enter. The help topics shown do not correlate with the topics I'm entering. why is that??
    2. Please make the cursor able to be wider, like in the software program Zoomtext, that I used when I had a PC. The razor-thin cursor (in this text box!) in Pages is impossible for me to see.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
