How to customize keyboard shortcuts (Swedish keyboard)

I don't know how dangerous this is, but I have just customized two keyboard shortcuts in LR2 for use with a Swedish keyboard.
I did not invent this, I was taught by someone else on this forum, I'm sorry I don't remember who.
What I did was create a file called TranslatedStrings.txt in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en\
The content of this file is:
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomIn=Zoom In"
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomIn/Key=Cmd+."
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomInMinor=Slow Zoom In"
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomInMinor/Key=Cmd+Option+."
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ShowFilterBar=Show Filter Bar"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ShowFilterBar/Key=Cmd+Shift+."
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/HideShowFilterBar=Show/Hide Library Filter Bar"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/HideShowFilterBarKey=Cmd+Shift+."
This makes Ctrl+. zoom in on pictures and Ctrl+Shift+. toggle between showing and hiding the library filter bar.
So far it seems to function. This copies the way LR is translated to French and German. But I would very much like some input from Adobe on what can be done without danger. Maybe also a list of all shortcuts so we could do this ourselves without compromising anything.

Minor correction:
I believe it should be:
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before=&Before Only"
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before/Key=<"
The character "&" after "=" on line 1. But it seems to function like you wrote it too.
I tried changeing "&Before only" into "&Före enbart", which translated the menu into Swedish, but the letter ö looked strange.

How to customize the shortcut bar at the top?!

Sorry, I know this is simple but its driving me nuts!
When you click on the various tools the shortcut bar at the top changes. For example, click on the type tool and it shows your font drop down menu, you para alignment, your font size etc. However theres several things on there I dont need (ie stretching the font less or more than 100% and the dictionary option). Also things Id like to add like the new span/split columns options.
How on earth do I customise these? All the tutorials I can find are about creating new workspaces etc but nothing seems to be able to change those options. I can undock the whole thing but ... arrghh!!
Any advice?

I’m not sure what application you’re referring to but I’ll guess InDesign.
This forum is for suite specific issues so please post in the proper application specific forum.

Application Keyboard Shortcuts not working in Text Edit

Under System Preferences (Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Keyboard Shortcuts -> All Applications), I changed some basic keyboard shortcuts (Copy, Paste, etc.) to use the ctrl key instead of the command key. These shortcuts seem to work well in the basic applications I use (MS Office, Firefox, etc.)
However, they do not work in TextEdit. I did verify that the Menu name in I entered in System Preferences matches exactly the way it appears in TextEdit.
Anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas on how to resolve it? I would very much like this fixed since my switching between Windows (in Parallels) and Mac OS X is seamless except for the fact that I have to remember different keyboard shortcuts in each OS. Thanks in advance!

Keyboard Shortcuts for Nested Menus

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v250/deb6404/AutomatorKeyboardShortcutExample. png
If you take a look at the above screenshot, you'll see that there are a couple automator functions I've added as plugins in Finder.
They work great when I use them, but I can't seem to get a keyboard shortcut to work. When I assign them by name (System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Keyboard Shortcuts -> Finder, then add a new one) it puts a shortcut next to it as though it should work.
But it doesn't. If I navigate to the Automator menu in Finder as show below, the keyboard shortcut WILL trigger.

But accessing it with just the file selected, Finder doesn't seem to want to access the nested menu.
How do you add a nested Finder menu to Keyboard Shortcuts?
Thanks!

What you want would be very handy, but I don't think it can be done. AFAIK the menu shortcuts that you can add are for those in the menu bar, not the Contextual menu, I was astonished that it even FOUND the contextual menu and started displaying a "shortcut" for it, not in the least bit surprised that the putative shortcut didn't work. You probably want some sort of shareware application like Spark or QuicKeys. Spark is free and I liked it in Tiger, don't know if it will work in Leopard, and is free. QuicKeys is, I think, rather pricey.

Keyboard Shortcut for comments

I have a question and something to share.
Turns out it's pretty easy to add a keyboard shortcut for
adding ColdFusion comments (mostly so that you don't have to click
on the comment dropdown and select the ColdFusion one, that's 2
clicks). You can add a keyboard shortcut to that Insert Comment
command. But by default it inserts HTML comments. So if you want it
to do something different you can modify this file: C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
CS4\configuration\Objects\Text\Comment.js
The bad news is, I can't find a way to add a shortcut to
Remove Comment. Does anyone know how to do that?

Jon
Not that I know of but you can make your own keyboard shortcuts for anything that is in a menu somewhere:
+System Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Keyboard Shortcuts > All Applications > click the little plus sign under the window > Application: > Other > browse to Applications/iWork/Pages > Menu Title > Show Comments (type exactly including U&lc) > hit cmd shift c (or whatever you want)+
Since the shortcut works on the literal text, it will not toggle on and off. You will have to have another shortcut for +Hide Comments.+

Defining own zoom in & out keyboard shortcuts

I have been looking for a decent PDF viewer with tabs for awhile and have found Dioretsa. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dioretsa/id411422230?mt=12 It's pretty great for everything except I'm having problems with the keyboard shortcuts for zoom in and zoom out. I want the behavior to be the same as in most of my programs: [Command and =] for Zoom In and [Command and -] for Zoom Out, both WITHOUT having to use the Shift key.
In the program the default Zoom In and Zoom Out shortcuts are shown in the picture below. They REQUIRE me to use [Command and Shift and =] and [Command and Shift and -] for zooming in.
This annoyed me so I wanted to define my own keyboard shortcuts under Keyboard preferences:
In Dioretsa, it now looks like this:
Zoom In now works as expected, without needing Shift. However, for Zooming out it doesn't work! I still need to push Shift.
I noticed how for Zoom Out the hypthen is BOLD here! In Keyboard Preferences it is not! Also you'll notice that there is no Shift key in the default Zoom Out shortcut in Diotretsa!
This behavior is really bugging me! Can anyone help? I tried setting Zoom Out to [Command and 0] and this works fine without having to use shift!

Another thing you can try, if you aren't already aware of it, is to put the mouse cursor in whatever you wish to magnify, then hold down the Control key and scroll the mouse ball upwards. Do the same but scroll it downwards to reduce the screen image to normal size. This works on everything on the screen. Takes a little getting used to but I find it quick and handy for a fast look at something too small to see otherwise.

ya, thanks, already 'discovered' that one by accident...so many shortcuts to learn!!!

Function keys, Volume & Keyboard shortcuts make me sad

As with many of you, I've just upgraded to 10.5, and I'm having infinite problems with volume control.
I'm using one of the new slim apple keyboards (and oh its fine, but besides..) and the volume control is on the F key row at the top (as opposed to over the num pad, and yes I've attempted to just use the buttons above the num pad, but alas, nothing).
The problem I'm having is that I can either have keyboard volume control, OR I can use the other F keys for various other functions and bindings, but not both.
The option for this is (as expected) under *Keyboard & Mouse, Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys*
All I want is volume control and the ability to use the other keys for other applications, even if I had to install a program of some description in order to have this work
The alternative is to find out how to set it up as an actual keyboard shortcuts through *Keyboard & Mouse, Keyboard Shortcuts*, but as volume control has no text, it becomes rather difficult to say what menu title it is.

I have the keyboard hooked up to a MacBook Pro under 10.4.10. Now I can't use the function keys in combination with shift. For instance in Photoshop, the command fill with forground colour (=shift + F5) is not working. How can I fix this?

Lion Mail Search Reset keyboard shortcut

Hi,
how to reset the currect search in Mail via the keyboard?
In Evernote for instance, you can press Cmd-R to reset the currect search.
Is there an equivalent for Mail?
Thanks,

Going from 10.5 to 10.6 is not removing functionality, it is adding functionality.
Are you using 10.6.x and can't use that command to get to the search field?
If so, try checking the Keyboard Shortcuts in Keyboard System Prefs and see if you've somehow got cmd+opt-F mapped to something else.

Keyboard shortcuts to toggle "markup" in Preview

I know about [control] + [command] + H, [control] + [command] + U, and [control] + [command] + S. And these work.
But I find myself needing to click the markup button (toggling it on and off) multiple times per page while reading. I wish there was a keyboard shortcut for this. I tried making one in system preferences for just Preview: [control] + [command] + M. It doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions on how to create this shortcut?

You can use a shortcut application like Keyboard Maestro, SimpleKeys, Shortcuts or Macro Recorder. I use KM extensively for adding "canned" replies to posts, opening apps, etc. It can handle the kind of task you're looking for. However, it may be overkill for just that one task so look into the others. Go to MacUpdate.com and search for "keyboard shortcuts" and "keyboard macros" to get other candidates.
Currently QuickKeys is not compatible with Mavericks. I had used it previously but like KM so much better.

Keyboard shortcuts to run app

I am having some trouble in this area, being a decade+ Windows user - I want to have a keyboard shortcut (like... Ctrl + Cmd + V will open VLC Player)
I've found the Keyboard Shortcuts under Keyboard & Mouse, which seems to add keyboard shortcuts depending on the application, but these seem to require the exact menu title within the app.
What I want is to run the app itself, globally, within any window, by pressing a key combination.
Is this possible? Easy? I figured I was missing something since everything else has been easily intuitive for me.
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Setek, I followed all of those steps, modifying them to correct for a syntax error I got. Everything seemed to work. I have “Terminal” as menu option available for all applications, with a keyboard shortcut associated (and displaying) with it. Bizarrely, the keystroke works in Safari, but not elsewhere that I found. Finder is silent. Text Edit and Mail make a “bonk” sound, as they do for other invalid key presses.
What I tried follows. Let us know how it works for you!
First step, need to enable the AppleScript Menus Extra (if you have not already):
Applications > AppleScript > AppleScript Utility
Check Show Script Menu in menu bar (checkbox)
To make things easier, then open your Scripts folder:
Script Menu (icon) > Open Scripts Folder > Open User Scripts Folder
This is the location where your compiled script needs to be saved.
Open up Script Editor (in the same folder as AppleScript Utility) and past in the following code:
tell application "Finder"
open application file "Terminal.app" of folder "Utilities" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
end tell
In Script Editor, Save selecting “application” as the File Format. Script Editor by default put this in Documents. So I moved the result to the User Script Folder. (Alternatively, one can save directly to Home > Library > Scripts.)
After saving, Script Editor should reformat the lines above. You can test the script to make sure it works. You can quit Script Editor if you like.
At this point I have “Terminal” as the bottom most item in my the Script Menu.
The final step is adding a keystroke shortcut, as I showed earlier today for Window > Zoom.
System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts (tab) > + (button)
Application: All Applications
Menu Title: Terminal
Keyboard Shortcut: Control-Command-T (Command-Option-T is used)
So long as the Scripts Menu is available, this shortcut keystroke should be available.
Modify the above directions as you like for other applications.

Custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4?

Is there a way to set custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4? When I change my keyboard shortcuts preferences for Photoshop, they don't change for these filter interfaces. Is there another way?

what is the problem ??
I tried to change the shortcut for the Vanishing Point and Liquify from
Edit -> keyboard shortcuts(button) -> keyboard shortcuts (tab) -> filter (tab)
and you will find these filters :
double click on it and make a new shortcut
but it MUST be Ctrl + (any letter) or you can make it Ctrl + Alt + (any letter)
but if you made it just one lettre like S for example
you will can't make a shortcut.
hope I understood what you ment ???

Keyboard Shortcut for Comments Pane

Hi,
Discussion topic says it all - is there a shortcut for the "comments" pane? Searched the forums; didn't see a post for that, so if this a double post, just let me know!
Thanks,
Jon

+System Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Keyboard Shortcuts > All Applications > click the little plus sign under the window > Application: > Other > browse to Applications/iWork/Pages > Menu Title > Show Comments (type exactly including U&lc) > hit cmd shift c (or whatever you want)+
Since the shortcut works on the literal text, it will not toggle on and off. You will have to have another shortcut for +Hide Comments.+

Keyboard Shortcut to Get Home

I have discovered that pressing Shift Command - H in iTunes will take me from my iTune's listings to the iTunes Home Page (this shortcut doesn't appear to be listed in Apple's online reference to iTunes keyboard shortcuts).
Now I'm wondering if anyone knows a keyboard shortcut to get from the iTune Store back to my iTunes listings?

Are you using 10.6.x and can't use that command to get to the search field?

How do I customize Firefox keyboard shortcuts without using an add-on?

I want to modify shortcuts '''without using add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins'''. In other words, I would like to know how to modify a keyboard shortcut in a way that does '''not '''involve installing a plug-in, extension, or add-on. So, an answer that states that I should install this extension, or that plug-in is a useless answer and will be rated unhelpful as will indicate that you didn't read the question.
Again: How do I modify a keyboard shortcut '''WITHOUT '''installing any add-ons? For example, how would I change the homepage shortcut from Alt+Home to something else, without installing any add-ons?

I actually made this happen a few versions back, but I don't remember how I did it. I have looked through the about:config entries and can't find it. I looked through the ...xul keybindings and did not find it. I know it can (or recently could) be done, but I don't remember how.
The problem with the existing shortcut is that on a laptop, the Home button is frequently sharing space with another key. It is a hassle to have to access Home and the alt key when accessing Home is itself an operation.
The problem with add-ons is that I cannot, in a reasonably quick momentary glance, determine their safety now, nor in the future as they are updated. Since Mozilla does not certify add-ons as safe, I prefer to avoid them.
Other programs don't present such difficulties with simple things like modifying shortcuts. It's pretty standard for that to be accessible from a Customize submenu in one of the main drop-downs.
