How to disable keyboard shortcut "Control Shift Down"

Hi,
I'm mildly surprised that I couldn't find the answer to this little problem I have.
I'm running a PC version of Excel through VMWare under Mac OS X 10.7, and it works perfectly fine except that the keyboard shortcut for selecting continguous cells in a column - Control-Shift-Down - produces a weird "slow-mo" version of F10, which is showing all windows in the current application.
First of all, I hardly see this "feature" to be of any practical use as you can accomplish the same (without the slow-mo effect) by hitting F10 by default.
Secondly, this prevents me from doing something actually useful in Excel which is selecting continguous cells in a column.
Can someone please give a tip to disable this useless shortcut? I've looked everywhere in Keyboard settings in Preferences without success.
Can't believe no one else has the same issue.
TIA

Thanks a lot for your post. I tried your suggestion and indeed got the Excel short-cut back. It wasn't obvious as "Mission Control" and "Application Windows" are mapped to F9 and F10 (rather than the ctrl-shift-down" combo).
It's ok since I don't really have any use for shortcut launching "Mission Control" or "Application windows".

How to use keyboard shortcut OPTION SHIFT COMMAND PLUS?

The application I am using has two keyboard shortcuts for changing the KERN of some text:
TIGHTEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + MINUS
LOOSEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + PLUS
The TIGHTEN command works fine but the LOOSEN command doesn't. If I plug in an external keyboard then it works fine as long as I use the or on the NUMPAD.
Any suggestions?

How to disable keyboard shortcut for Type-And-Transfer

Hi,
I'm trying to create a macro in Excel that I want to use the ctrl+shft+h keyboard shortcut. However, Lenovo's Type-and-Transfer tool has hijacked that shortcut so everytime I try to use the shortcut within Excel it launches the Type-and-Transfer tool. I've looked everywhere and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to disable this keyboard shortcut from launching the Type-and-Transfer tool. Anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
jd

Hi,
here is what I would check in:
Registry:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LENOVO
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo
<sorry as I don't havea system with this shortcut type I cannot find the exact same key combination>
My second thought is going more in the direction of an application, that is called Keyboard Customizer
Try this one, if that will fit your request.
Let me know any update, that you can give on this situation.
Cheers

The wireless keyboard doesn't have a page down key. How do you program a keyboard shortcut for Page Down?

My new wireless keyboard doesn't have a page down key. Very customer-hostile, at least in Office Apps. The list of available keyboard shortcuts doesn't inclue Page Down. Anyone know how to program a keyboard shortcut for Page Down?

Figured it out: fn + down arrow

How can we disable keyboard shortcuts on webpages?

I am using the add-on firemacs, which allows us to edit text with emacs key-bindings.
The problem is: some key-bindings (set by firemacs) are overwritten at several webpages (e.g. Evernote and StackExchange).
For example, Ctrl-b moves normally the text cursor to the previous character in a textarea. But in the textarea at any site of StackExchange, Ctrl-b creates `**strong text**`.
Is it possible to disable keyboard shortcuts without disabling shortcuts for firemacs?
The trivial solution is to disable JavaScript. But I want to know a possibility of other solutions.

StackExchange links to a bunch of other sites, so I looked at the superuser.com site. The specific script that creates the interactive features of the editor is http://cdn.sstatic.net/Js/wmd.en.js. It's minified so I can't figure out the call needed to remove the keypress event listener. (Actually, I'm not sure I could figure it out even with the full source, as I don't use jQuery.) Maybe it's a question for StackOverflow?

Disable Reply All button via Group Policy without disabling keyboard shortcut

At my organization, we've used Group Policy to disable the Reply to All button in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010. When you use the setting in the ADM files for the respective versions of Office to disable a Command bar ID, the Reply to All button is disabled,
however they keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + R) is still active. This forces our users to think a bit more before using the Reply All function.
The keyboard shortcut continues to work, because there's a separate setting to disable the keyboard shortcuts. The same is true for Office 2013's GP templates, however, it does not function as expected.
When I use the Office 2013 admin templates and disable command bar ID 355 (Reply All), it disables the button as expected, however it also disables the keyboard shortcut for Reply All without actually setting it as disabled in the disable shortcut keys.
Has anyone had success disabling a command bar ID without disabling the associated shortcut keys? If so, how did you do it?

Hi,
This issue has been fixed by this hotfix:
Hotfix 2881040 for Outlook 2013 June 10, 2014 (Outlook-x-none.msp)

Disabling keyboard shortcuts in Flash CC

From looking at past threads, it appears that Flash users were once able to disable keyboard shortcuts in the Flash player window when testing their programs. This option seems to have gone away in Flash CC (or has hidden itself very well). This is problematic for me since I'm relying on key presses to dictate which frames my program goes to, but can't test to see if things are working properly without disabling Flash player shortcuts first. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

ned is correct. that feature (unfortunately) was 'deprecated' in flash pro cc, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WS3e7c64e37a1d85e1e229110db38dec34-7fc2a.html (the 'The Test Movie command and keyboard controls' section).
in addition to neds suggestion, another poor option is to test in your browser.

Does the keyboard shortcut Command-Shift-1 do anything?

I accidentally hit the keyboard shortcut Command-shift-1--nothing happened, but there was no error beep, either.
Was something I don't know about supposed to happen, good or bad?

I guess what makes me wonder is when nothing seems to happen, even no error beep when in the open file box in Dreamweaver when using Command-Shift-1 instead of Command-Shift-. to check for hidden files (or just being in Dreamweaver in general).
It's the not even getting an error beep response which sometimes makes me wonder did something happen which I wouldn't want to.

No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

How do I disable keyboard shortcuts in Fireworks?

I have been unable to type anything inside of Fireworks CS6. Somehow my keyboard shortcuts have been activated and my mouse's left-click option is disabled. I'm sure this is just a matter of hit a combination of keys, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I am using the Mac Maverick OS.

I used to use the keyconfig extension to change keyboard assignments:

There may be other addons that will do it too.

[SOLVED] How to add keyboard shortcuts in XFCE?

I'm giving XFCE a try lately after all of the changes I'm seeing, I'm trying to add a new shortcut to ease some tasks but I don't have a clue on how to do it.
I go to Settings -> Keyboard and there to "Application shortcuts". Then I select to add a new one and point to the script I want to run, but I don't have a clue on how to select the shortcut. I've tried pressing the keys I want to bind, but no way.
This is what I'm seeing:

It is the next screen Pick the command, click OK. It then throws up a box telling you to press the key combination. It will show as you push meta, shift and control modifiers. When you hit a character that generates a keystroke, it saves it, along with the modifiers.

Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...

I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
Hope this helps out!!

Disable Keyboard Shortcut for Open Adobe Bridge

Is there a way to disable the keyboard shortcut which opens Adobe Bridge from Illustrator? Often when I'm working quickly I accidentally hit this (option command o) instead of (shift command o) to outline type. It halts everything to open Bridge, which I never use, and drives me crazy. Is there any way to disable this command?
Any help would be greatly approciated!!

Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > Menu Commands > File and remove or modify the default shortcut for Bridge.

How to disable keyboard illumination

I really like Expose. I really don't care for keyboard illumination. When I try to use the Expose keys (F9 and F10) I affect the keyboard illumination, but do not trigger Expose.
How can I disable keyboard illumination to allow me to use those keys for Expose.
Yes, I know that I can Function-F9 and Function-F10, but I'd rather have a single keystroke.
I've turned off keyboard illumination in the Keyboard system pref, but it still won't let me use those Expose keys.
Clues?
TIA -

I really appreciate all the help you folks have put in here.
It seems that the Function key behaviors I loved so much on my G4 PowerBook are just hosed forever with the oh-so-nifty backlighting on the MacBook Pro.
It's kinda sad, because Expose is really useful and the backlit keyboard, while I'm sure it makes for an eye-catching demo, is at the edge of useless for touch typists.
Maybe Apple can be persuaded to reconsider, maybe flipping Expose and the backlit so that Expose is the one-key functionality and backlight controls will require the multi-key contortions.
Hey, I can dream, can't I?
I was going to post the suggestion to feedback.apple.com, but it looks like feedback is 404....

How to import keyboard shortcuts into Flash 8 Pro?

Recently i upgraded my computer to Windows XP, so backed
everything up, reformatted and reinstall. The usual.
One thing i use very often in Flash is my own custom keyboard
shortcuts, which i found handy that you can export them.... however
a huge problem i just came across when reinstalling everything and
getting back into using Flash... I CANT IMPORT KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS?!
I cant seem to find this option anywhere, which is incredibly
annoying as you would expect along with a "Export set as HTML"
option for exporting your keyboard shortcuts.... but an option to
simply import them is nowhere to be found! I cant even find a
folder that i can put the html file i created with my keyboard
shortcuts.... Tried putting it everywhere in the Flash 8
directories.... and still doesnt show up.
Hell, photoshop isnt this confusing, just drop the file in
the Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts folder, and you're done! I dont see
this anywhere for Flash... even in the Local Settings/Application
Data folder where it STORES the shortcuts in its own WFX format!
Too much of a pain remembering all the key configs i had
setup... only option is to change em as i go along i guess, but
there HAS to be an easier way to do this!
Any idea?
*Edit* Ok, now i just realized my mistake... having seen
where the shortcuts are saved, i didnt think of looking for them
there earlier... so i didnt back that up. Arg!

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.
