How to remove/remap keyboard shortcut mapping in firefox ?

I have a text editor that uses CTRL-SHIFT+P for macro playback and pressing the sequence in my text editor is always launching an instance of firefox. How can I remove/remap this kb shortcut in firefox ?

You need automator to create services, as detailed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2241804 a four-parter by Sal Saghoian on *Automation in Snow Leopard*
This, describes old and new automator—services stuff:
http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/08/automator-and-finder-interactions-in-os-x-10- 6/
Alternatively, just save the script
*+tell application "Firefox" to activate+*
as an app, put it on the Dock, and click it to activate it. However, seems simpler just to put the FF icon on the Dock and a single click launches it. Why would you want a service or AS to do the same thing?

  • Cannot remove custom keyboard shortcut

    Hi Folks,
    Somehow I managed to make my right SHIFT key a shortcut to my desktop (does not use a modifier key). I can't recall how i did this, but it is not in my Keyboard Shortcuts (i have gone through them all, restored to defaults, removed them... nothing worked.)
    Using Mavericks.
    Any ideas how i might remove this keyboard shortcut?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Keyboard Viewer.  Then select Keyboard Viewer from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.  It will show all the special characters you can make when you press the alt and alt + shift keys.

  • Difficulty remapping keyboard shortcuts on OSX

    Pretty obscure problem here. I am trying to use the little-known OSX built-in method of remapping keyboard shortcuts (System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>Application Shortcuts) to customize things, specifically to add a shortcut to access the add-ons menu. I did this a few weeks ago and I see my shortcut next to the menu item, but triggering the shortcut never opens it up. I see the Tools menu flash, but nothing ever really happens.
    As far as I know, the problem isn't exclusive to the Add-ons item. I have also noticed this same problem with Thunderbird. It worked with the old Unsanity Haxie, Menu Master, but this is not compatible with 10.6. (I am running 10.6.4)
    I'm guessing that this is some kind of underlying problem with the Mac version of both products. Any help or referral to where I can report this is appreciated.

    I'm getting this problem with the PasswordMaker plugin. I had the problem before attempting to remap keys. I remapped keys with the suggested keyconfig extension in an attempt to solve the problem, but no dice.
    FF version 3.6.3
    OSX version 10.6.6
    Other items in the Tools menu work. PasswordMaker fails with the problem described above:
    'but triggering the shortcut never opens it up. I see the Tools menu flash, but nothing ever really happens. '
    The extension works on all other OSes I have tried (Win XP, Win 7 and Linux Ubuntu.).
    I've seen this behaviour before when a modal task in Photoshop (text editing) was blocking shortcuts.
    Any ideas?

    Go to the system preference mentioned in my earlier post & follow the instructions it provides to try to assign an application-specific shortcut to one of the "extra" keys (which will require one of modifier keys to be pressed along with it). If it recognizes the key, you will see some symbol for it in the second box, along with one for the modifier key. (The modifier keys are the shift, option, etc. keys that don't do anything by themselves).
    You might also check Logictech's website for software that supports the keyboard with OS X.

    Hello,
    I will try my best to guess the issue you are reporting. I don't speak Mandarin and I used Google Translate to guess what the issue is. So, if I got that wrong, I do apologize.
    You are looking to disable the Firefox shortcuts - all of them. And you want to do this because you think these shortcuts are blocking a Firefox plugin you are using. Is that correct?
    您想禁用Firefox的快捷方式 - 所有这些。并且要做到这一点,因为你觉得这些快捷方式阻止你使用的是Firefox插件。这是否正确?
    谢谢

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

  • How do you load keyboard shortcuts?

    Hi all.
    I don't get it: The keyboard-shortcuts dialog has a way to save sets of shortcuts, but no way to load them.  What is the point then?
    Thanks for any insight.

    "What I was doing was simply attempt to disabuse you from your pre-conceived notion that everyone is for migrating, copying and deploying stuff"
    I never said people want to do that.  I sure don't want to do that, and I'm pretty sure that no one really wants to do that.  What's your alternative? You say you would rather re-record or re-establish all of these workarounds on every machine one by one.  That's fine for you.  But it's absurd on a large scale or for experienced users.
    "You're asking for functionality that already exists."
    Exists if you record a macro.  Fortunately, you can load action sets.  And nice try with the condescension about "simplistic users."  Pasting is not an action that caters only to "simplistic users."  That asinine suggestion and tired strawman amounts to the old "you're not using it right" excuse, which is never accompanied by an explanation of how.
    Adobe's longstanding failure to address design defects is evident all over Photoshop:
    1. Dialogs don't remember previous settings. The Image Size dialog is a great example. Every time you pull it up, the units of measure are reset. So you have to switch from pixels to percent, or inches to pixels, over and over and over. The Save As dialog demonstrates the same disregard for user choices.
    2. By default, Undo alternates between Undo and Re-do. Other applications have had multi-step undo for 20 years, and there's already a re-do key.
    3. You fix #2 by remapping Ctrl-Z to "step backward" (on every system, because of the hotkey problem we've already discussed). This reveals another longstanding bug: "Step backward" inexplicably changes the layer that you selected, in addition to undoing the last action. If you were on a text layer and then switch to a bitmap layer and make a brush stroke, try pressing Ctrl-Z. Not only is the brush stroke undone, but the text layer is reselected, making it impossible to make a new stroke until you go and reselect the bitmap layer.
    4. After drawing a selection box with the Rectangular Marquee tool, you can't resize it without going up to the Select menu and picking "Transform Selection" (or mapping a key for this on every system). Why can't you resize it by dragging any edge immediately? Even the free software that comes with scanners handles this properly.
    5. Zooming with the mouse wheel doesn't snap to standard zoom factors. In fact, if you zoom with the wheel, you often can't even return to 100%. It will go from 99.4% to 102%, skipping 100%. Common sense would dictate that the zoom snaps when crossing Photoshop's normal zoom levels, like 25%, 50%, 66.7%, 100%, 200%, and so on. Note "when crossing"; I'm not saying the wheel should ONLY go to those factors.
    6. No integrated thumbnail browser. It took until what, 2005, before Photoshop had any thumbnail browser at all, and it arrived in the form of a bloated separate application. Shareware photo-editing programs in the '90s had speedy and efficient thumbnail browsing, but in 2011 Adobe still can't pull it off. We hoped "mini-Bridge" was finally going to address this, but nope: You still have to have Bridge running. Sad.
    And that's just what I can think of at the moment. Then there's Illustrator, which is practically abandonware at this point. If you want to talk about "many users over many years," this glaring defect is a great example:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856221?start=0&tstart=0
    So you guys can get to work, or just keep making excuses and blaming users. I wonder what it'll be.

  • How to apply different keyboard shortcuts to an actions with the same name but in different menus within one application?

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone can help. I have the application "djay" and in two different menus there is the action "Eject". I was wondering if it's possible to apply different keyboard shortcuts to those actions with the same name? I can't see how to do it as it seems you can only write the action but as there are two it doesn't seem to work for me.
    For example:
    djay>Table-1>Eject - ⌘⇧1
    djay>Table-2>Eject - ⌘⇧0
    Thanks in advance for any help!!

    A NodeList doesn't only contain 1 element. In your example it contains ALL <Data> elements inside the document.
    NodeList nodes = document.getElementsByTagName("Data");
    System.out.println(nodes.getLength() + " \"Data\"-elements found");
    for(int i=0; i<nodes.getLength(); i++) {
       Node node = nodes.item(i);

  • Can't remove a keyboard shortcut

    When I press option-F14 I get Displays System Preference. I don't know why. And I don't want it.
    It's even more powerful than QuicKeys!
    I'd like to remove this feature, so I'm trying to figure out which application may cause this behavior.
    Up to now, I can exclude: Keyboard Shortcut System Preference, QuicKeys, Butler, You Control, LaunchBar, Quicksilver, PathFinder .,..
    Or is this a hidden feature of Mac OS X that can't be removed?

    STry going to system preferences>dashboard $ expose. You can set preferences for that key there.

  • How to remove Emoji keyboard from Add New Keyboard?

    I already remove the App ... but the keyboard still work and some symbol stay together  .. they change into faces .. dose anyone know how to completely remove this keyboard??? remove it from Add New Keyboard...

    I think you are missing the point here. There is no known problem with the keyboard and it's functionality on the iPhone. You do not need to remove the keyboard to fix it. I have it installed and use it, it does not make symols appear when using other English keyboards. If you are seeing symbols entered unintentionally there is a problem with your iPhone's software. To see symbols you must add the Emoji keyboard to the keyboard list. Even then you must select this keyboard when typing a message and physically select the icon you want. It may be possible if you have a different keyboard selected, other  than US English, that has some built in short cuts for symbol. The US English keyboard does not. 
    If you jailbroke and modified the iPhone's software in any way it may have messed up the keyboards functionality. I suppose any app you installed to enhance keyboard function may have effect it, but I don't believe Apple would allow it intentionally. Any chat app you use may come with it's own keyboard, changing the system keyboards will probably not fix them. Restore will fix any software issues the iPhone may have although if caused by an app it may come back when it is installed. Restore will erase media files which are not included in the iPhone backup files.
    Discussing jailbreak procedures of iPhones here is prohibited and I do not recommend it to fix any issue. I only mention it since some people have problems with iPod/iPhones after they have jailbroke them but fail to mention it in their initial post. It gets futile trying to help someone with a very rare issue such as this and after many attempts to fix it you are told the iPhone is jailbroke which caused the problem.
    Again the best fix here is to Restore it back to a clean iOS install using a back up. If it still does it Restore it as new and add apps till you see the problem appear.

  • How to deactivate the Keyboard shortcuts (QuickTime PlugIn)

    Hi,
    Is there a way, to Disable the Keyboard Shortcuts when using the QuickTime PlugIn within IE and/or Firefox ?

    Are you viewing or are you serving these QuickTime files?
    The QuickTime Control Panel offers options to run in "kiosk" mode so that the viewed file can't be saved via the Pro upgrade. Each user account has their own settings.
    To prevent the keyboard option in the QuickTime movie controller from appearing in a Web based file you would set the object and embed tags to use kioskmode="true". This removes it from the controller menu and stops drag and drop capture but will not stop a determined viewer from obtaining a local copy of your file.
    Other QuickTime keyboard options also exist and many people don't know about them.
    For example (once the QuickTime file has "focus" in the browser) the arrow keys adjust the movie volume (up/down) and the spacebar starts and stops playback.
