How do I set keyboard shortcut for 'Get Mail'?
Went to system preferences - keyboard - shortcuts - App shortcuts and added Mail.app
Get Mail cmd G
However, it doesn't work. It just makes a nasty noise when I'm in mail and use the shortcut.
The command is Get New Mail. It already has a keyboard shortcut, Shift-Command-N. Command-G is already used for Find Next (i.e., find the next occurrence of a find text).

Setting Keyboard Shortcuts for Services won't work
I've tried to set Keyboard Shortcuts for Services like "New Terminal Tab from Folder" but it won't work. I even tried it on my friend's machine to no avail.
Here's where I'm setting it up. And yes, I've turned on the checkbox & set the shortcut I want. I've even tried a few different keyboard shortcuts that are complicated to ensure that it's not competing with something else.
To note, I'm using TotalFinder but my friend, whose machine I tested this on, doesn't.
We are both running 10.8.2 on the latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display, 15".I have a similar scenario......except my services that I created run one time, and then won't run again.
For example, I created a service to open a new blank email message for me to type in. I assigned Cntl-Opt-Comm-M to this service. I hit the key sequence and it works the first time.....the mail window pops open.
If I then close the mail window that it spawned and do it again, no mail window opens.
I also did this to create a blank Calendar event and also another one for Reminders.
They all run one time and then not again.
Any ideas? -

How to make a keyboard shortcut for this character: ⌘
I am growing very fond of the Character Palette, but there are some characters I like to use allot, and it's becoming a nuisance opening the whole window just to insert a ⌘. I was thinking maybe there is a way to make a keyboard shortcut for this character, just like option-shift-K creates . I opened the keyboard viewer and was thinking maybe I could drag the character into an empty space to create a combo...but it's not letting me. Is there any way to do this?
This is a feature Apple should definitely add customization to on OS X.
You can make custom keyboard layouts that include any characters you want using Ukelele.

I doubt Apple is going to incorporate this into OS X, but you can suggest it here:

How to set keyboard shortcut for popup enter as spacebar?
I want to create a shortcut where I can use a spacebar for all the popup's action.
It is very cumbersome, to scroll to the popup and then select an action for the popup.
It would be very easy, If I can use tab to scroll amongst the option of popup and press spacebar to select an action.See System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcut > (at the bottom) Full Keyboard Access > select "All controls."
This will probably help, but your mileage may vary. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialog_box#Application_modal
And I would use the return key, and not the space bar.

How to set Keyboard shortcuts for Flash Pro CS6?
I have started to use Flash Pro CS6, but my keyboard shortcuts such as F6 to insert a new Keyframe didn't work..I soon found that you could create your own Keyboard Shortcut list within the Flash application, and I am trying to enter F6 for a new Keyframe, but it only lets me enter one letter/number at a time and deletes the other one. I have made sure that F6 isn't in use. It now isn't, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.if no shortcut works, try resetting your flash pro preferences:
Hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) or Shift+Command+Option (Mac) when starting flash pro.

How do i create keyboard shortcuts for the different markup colours?
I want to be able to quickly highlight with different colours in the preview app.
You didn't read my post. You merely read your preconceived notion of what I posted.
If you want to pop up menus and type letters, turn on the functions to activate the menus in the Keyboard & Text Input of Keyboard Shortcuts.
You can then activate the menus, type letters of the menu to select the one you want, then type letters for the menu items to select those. Once selected, arrow down or space to drop the menu or activate a hierarchical submenu.
These items allow you to activate the various menus, Dock, toolbars, etc.
They are default to Function keys (in order), but I changed mine to things that make sense. -
Keyboard shortcut for opening mail messages
i'd like to be able to open email messages using a keyboard shortcut. i suspect i'm being thick, but I can't seem to find a way to do that. (i tried the keyboard shortcut function in system preferences, but because there is no "open" menu command, I couldn't create a shortcut.) Much obliged for any help.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)I too would be interested in a keyboard shortcut to open new email messages. Do any of you Mail pros have an idea to help us out with this?
Thanks! -

Keyboard Shortcuts for Mail won't stick
Hi. I've created a keyboard shortcut for Mail--Command-K to Get All New Mail--and changed the conflicting command (Command-K normally will Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts). It worked well when I set it up, but only once. As soon as I quit out, my Keyboard Shortcut for Get All New Mail disappeared. Meanwhile, my new keyboard shortcut for Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts still works.
And there's more: if I reset the "Command-K to Get All New Mail" shortcut, it will work only until I quit. And that's the case with no matter what shortcut I set up for "Get All New Mail." What gives? Any suggestions?I'm surprised there hasn't been a reply to this, since this discussion board is one of the best around. Is there a more appropriate board in this forum for me to you post this?
Thx!
