How to control scrubbing with the keyboard?

The headline is already the question: I would like to use the keyboad to fast forwad in songs. In the 'itunes a-z' there is only an info how to do this with the mouse. Arrow Keys do not seem to work for this, they only switch to the next or previos song, or album. Ah, I am using utine s10.5.2.11 with WIndows 7.
Any idea?
Thanks, Alex

Here are a few more to try:
setxkbmap
xkbset is the one I currently use, you can find at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xkbset/
keynav might also be worth a look. I haven't tried it though. It can be found in the AUR also.

Controlling "play" with the keyboard spacebar

In Logic 9, I was able to use the space bar button to play a track, regardless of whether I was working within the tracks area of main window or whether I was working within the lower right area, after having opened up a track in the piano roll.
In Logic X, I am finding that I cannot use the spacebar in this same way: if I am working within the piano roll editor, I need to select back to the track within the tracks area of the main window, in order to activate the functionality of the space bar as a "play" button.
There must be a workaround. Has anybody got a solution?
Thanks,
David

Hi,
While I do not have any solutions to this problem, I wanted to make sure that you guys know that you are not the only ones annoyed by this. I am positive there has to be a setting somewhere in the OS to set the appropriate flags to revert to the old appearance for system dialogs.
Anyone?

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?

Sorry. These are both known bugs:

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!

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.

I have a problem with the keyboard on my MacBook. The letters are typing as symbols and the delete and return/enter buttons do not work. Does anybody know how to fix this?

I bought a second apple tv and would like to control it with the remote app but cannot find a way to add a second device. Anyone have an idea how to do that?

I'm having the same issue and would like to get some help. I set up a second Apple TV in our bedroom and wanted to be able to control it using my iPhone like I do with the Apple TV in the living room. The new Apple TV is active on the network and I've made sure the same Apple ID is used for both the Apple TV as well as the Remote App on my iPhone. I'm just wondering what I might be overlooking.

Moving a windows with the keyboard

Hello all,
I've had my mac for a while, and I absolutely love it! I've really increased my productivity by using one, and it makes Java development so much easier since the system is BSD Unix based. Unfortunately, I've run in to a problem that is incredibly frustrating, and I can't find a solution, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been using the an application called swf player to view video from Youtube. It has several windows in the application. Unfortunately, the player control window has somehow jumped "off" the left of my screen. When I perform FN+F9 to show all my windows, the player control is displayed, and I can click on it. However as soon as I do it is moved back off the left of my screen. In windows, you could right click on a running application in the taskbar, then click "move" and move it with the keyboard. In the dock, there is no option to "move". I'm sure one exists, I just can't find it anywhere. Can someone tell me how to get this windows back onto my desktop without uninstalling the application?
Thanks,
Todd

I just took a look at the preferences file for this program:
http://www.swf-mac.com/swfplayer.html
I had moved the Control window to my second monitor, and sure enough there is an entry in the plist file for that location. So I trashed the plist file
"/Users/francine/Library/Preferences/com.eltima.SWFMoviePlayer.plist"
Relaunched and the Control window was back in its original position. Of course, you will lose your playlist and recent items....

How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

Start with the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

How do I bring up the keyboard?

How do i bring up the keyboard?

Try turning off the wireless keyboard. The on screen keyboard won't usually appear if the iPad thinks it "sees" a wireless keyboard. Even moving to another room, there may be just enough signal to fool the iPad. I have a Zaggmate keyboard and I do have to turn off the keybord with I move to the next room.

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.
