How to quickly switch between speech bubble and highlight text in pdf viewer in Maverics.  Can now only use menu to change to speech bubble in Maverics (Tool Icon gone since Lion and no shortcut listed)

I use Preview to mark up student assignments, switching between the speech bubble and highlight markup tools.  The speech bubble is not on the toolbar since Maverics upgrade.  It also have no shortcut, which means navigating the menu every time since the Text shortcut, under which the speech bubble is now located does not remember the previously selected item and always reverts to plain text.
From a usability point of view, for me this is a massive step backward since the Lion version...
Or is there some hidden magic that will let me switch between these tools without having to navigate the menu everytime...

100% agreed with this. The new interface is far too bulky, Even on my gaming computer's massive 21inch monitor, it's nearly impossible to keep up with my chat group of 23+ people. I constantly have to scroll back up to read messages, making it furstrating and inconveniant. And now that the update is being forced on all of them, they're complaning of the same issues. Like said previously, these are full computers, Not bloody tablets or cell phones, but even then the new skype's even more useless on my Venue8 Pro tablet, I get to see a whole 3 messages at a time (And don't get me started on the Win8 Skype app). And what made it worse, MS has removed all previous versions of skype from the internet. THEN even when I managed to get my hands on an old version, I can only log it in once before it kicks me off and gives me a worthless error message, "Skype Can't Connect". (But seriously, what happened to giving us error codes guys? Advanced users like myself want to be able to fix the issue ourselves!) MS, I'm sorry but, you need to stop fixing things that are not broken. I'm wasing my time trying to correct this now, and I really don't apreciate that. What happened to quality control and testing?

    how do I switch between windows in the same programme?  I know that I can use Command tab, however this takes you through all of the programmes that I'm using. What I need to do is have a shortcut to switch between windows in the same programme.  For example if I'm in Excel and have 5 windows open I want to be able to scroll between each window of Excel only with a shortcut.
    Please help!

    Command and ~ keys to tab between open windows.
    Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key.  Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.

  • How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?

    I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
    For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
    Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
    I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
    Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
    -- Eric

    Turn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
    left single ‘ option ]
    right single ’ option shift ]
    left double “ option [
    right double ” option shift [
    If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |

  • How to Quickly Switch between redaction Codes in Adobe Pro?

    Is there a way that I can put my most heavily used redaction codes in the toolbar so that I can just click once to switch between redaction codes? It takes too much time to open redaction properties or to right click the redaction box and remove codes. Every time you right click and try to remove a code, the pop up box disappears and you have to right click again to add the code you want.
    Is there some way to quickly switch without all the extra clicks?  When you have thousands of pages to go through, all these extra clicks really slow you down.
    Please help.

  • HT4314 We have one appleid user account and have created two game center logins,  but can now only access one...any idea how to be able to access the other

    We have one appleid and have created two game center login names under that one apple id.  now we can only access one of the logins.  does anyone know how to get to the other account

    This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

  • How Do I Quickly Switch between Fusion and the Mac Desktops?

    How do I quickly switch between the two desktops? Also, is there any benefit to quitting Windows before I get out of Fusion?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Command Tab will switch between the two desktops. If you don't quit Windows beofre closing Fusion you are suspending Windows. IMHO this isn't as clean as closing it. I have found closing Windows before closing Fusion makes my system more stable.

  • How do I quickly* switch between two Skype account...

    I have a need to be able to quickly* switch between two Skype accounts on my Windows 7 desktop computer.
    Both accounts have high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords.
    Many products have a facility for doing this, remembering recent account/password combinations, or having linked accounts.
    Does Skype have a way of doing this?
    And if it doesn't, how do I request it get one be developed?
    I use a password manager, LastPass, but of course Skype isn't a browser so it doesn't work with Lastpass.
    * "Quickly switch" means without switching computer sign-on accounts and without re-typing the high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords many times per day.
    I understand you're all volunteers.  Thank you very much for your efforts on this.

    Solved!

    This can be done by setting up an another Skype client in a separate directory and with a shortcut containing the extra /datapath, /removable and /secondary switches.

    For your purpose you can make use of a copy of Skype.exe of the already installed Skype application.

    Set up a hotkey for that: System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts tab, click the + sign.
    Hope this helps...

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    How do I switch between two apple accounts?

    Two Apple IDs? Not a good idea. I believe that you will find that if you switch the Apple ID associated with your iPad that you cannot switch back to the other Apple ID for 90 days.
