How to set mac KEYBOARD shortcuts (for mac OS and windows OS)

i am having a bit of an issue.
i run windows 7 and mac os on the same computer on different hard drives in this computer. i also have a "mac" keyboard. i am not sure how this may be different from a "windows keyboard" but the point is i need to use this keyboard because it matches the one on my laptop which is a mac.
when i switch to windows on this machine i always end up deleting information because the CMD + X and CMD + V cut and paste shortcuts on Mac OS are not the same in windows. windows requires (currently) CTRL + X and CTRL + V. so when i got to cut and paste in windows CTRL + X (this is my habitual way of working) and then i run a CTRL + V i end up writing /over/ the text i selected with a "x" and i end up pasting /over/ the text i selected to paste over with a "v". this is because instead of running a cut and paste, this set of shortcuts in windows simply enters "x" and "y" respectively since the shortcut is not active.
does anyone know where i set these in windows OS and in mac OS?
also, does anyone know if it is possible to set how many UNDOS i can do in either of these OS's or to know how many i can in fact undo?
THANKS
long story background:
1. while i may move to a windows keyboard on the computer i am using (because the mac keyboards these days end up losing keys and they end up very wobbly) i cannot do this for the laptop machine so this may not make a lot of sense if i end up also running windows on the laptop which is my intention at some point.
2. CTRL + X is a very long stretch on the mac keyboard so rather than switching mac shortcuts to accommodate windows shortcuts i am thinking to switch windows shortcuts to mac ATM.
3. this is no small issue! i just went to copy and paste this text so i could save it for myself in order to explain to someone else and i ended up overwriting with a "c". if i had not thought fast and remembered to UNDO by hitting CTRL - X and not CMD - X i might have lost all my work.

You don't necessarily need netcfg to get networking. But I used it before for my wireless on my laptop, so I just used the same on my desktop too. Also if you want to do things like this its easier rather than have to go digging around with macspoof and what not. your netcfg eth0 file could be something like
PRE_UP='ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='dhcp'
If you use a different interface then obviously, you need to change it accordingly

How to set a keyboard shortcut for open with VLC player

Hey everyone!
I have reffered the earlier discussion upon creating a shortcut for the open with function and the below is the correct answer for it by using applescript editor submitted by Barney. However, I couldn't get past the 1st paragraph. It all just went over my head. Especially the "open (thefilelist) " part. Which filelist is being referred to here? All I want is a shortcut for opening files with .avi, .mpeg, and .3gp exts. with VLC player. Please help me out by providing the exact stuff I need to paste in the applescript.
Thanks
Ok, this one works both on the finder selection and as a droplet:
property htmlList : {"htm", "html"}
property htmleditor : "TextWrangler"
property textList : {"txt", "text"}
property texteditor : "TextEdit"
--property myappextlist: {"ext1","ext2","ext3"}
-- property myappsname: "myAppName" on run
tell application "Finder"
set the fileList to the selection
repeat with aFile in fileList
set theFile to aFile as string
my myOpen(theFile)
end repeat
end tell
end run on open (thefileList)
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in thefileList
set this_item to item i of thefileList
my myOpen(this_item)
end repeat
end open on myOpen(aFileAlias)
set theItemInfo to info for (alias aFileAlias)
if not folder of theItemInfo then
set theExtension to name extension of theItemInfo
if theExtension is in htmlList then
tell application htmleditor
open aFileAlias
activate
end tell
end if
if theExtension is in textList then
tell application texteditor
open aFileAlias
activate
end tell
end if
-- if theExtension is in myappextlist then
-- tell application myAppName
-- open this_item
-- activate
-- end tell
-- end if
end if end myOpen

Anyway, try this

property myTypes : {"avi", "mpeg", "mpg", "3gp"}
on run
          my vlcTest(myVLC)

          on error
                    display dialog "Sorry, could not locate VLC. Please add the correct POSIX path to the script." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1

          end tell
end vlcOpen
--script ends

Is there a list of mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0?

Is there anywhere online where I can find a list of Mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0? I would have thought it would be easy to find, but I've searched and haven't seen anything. In particular, I'm looking for shortcuts to let me vertical zoom and a shortcut that moves the playhead back to the beginning in multitrack view.

With Audition 3.0 for Windows, vertical zoom in edit view can be done by right-click-drag on the vertical exist to select a region. Incremental vertical zoom can be done by moving the mouse cursor over the vertical access, then using the track wheel to zoom in or out. In multitrack view, if you use the track wheel in the main window, it widens all the tracks proportionately.
To move to the beginning or end (in both edit and multitrack views), use the Home and End keys. In edit view, Ctrl-left arrow and Ctrl-right arrow also do this. In multitrack view, the Ctrl-arrow keys move to the beginning and end of the audio clips, whereas the End key goes to the end of the overall piece (which may include silence after the last clip).
Most keyboard shortcuts can be assigned, cleared, or re-assigned. In Windows this is done via the Edit menu item (for which the shortcut is Alt-k).

What's the keyboard shortcut for entering time and date?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for entering time and date?
Hopefully one which would work in any application.
Thank you.

None is built-in. You can use any number of third-party utilities for creating macros. For example:
1. TypeIt4Me
2. TextExpander
3. Typinator
4. AutoTyper (part of Automaton)
Any of the above are excellent choices. Demo/Trial downloads are found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.

How do I set the keyboard shortcut for zoom tool to be r-clicking the mouse?

I want to have the r-click of my mouse be the zoom tool like in Quark Xpress. Can I make the Z shortcut to choosing the Zoom tool instead a r-click? I know how to get into keyboard shortcuts - just dont know what to type in for the new shortcut to make it a r-click. right now its 2 steps to zoom rather than in quark 1. not that I want to go back. lol.
also, while were talking about migration differences and extra steps, is there a way I can hide guides and set overprint preview in one step? (this is something I do often and was just a simple F7 in quark)
so these are just 2 things that take 2 steps in ID but one in quark. not that I want to go back. lol

OK, I've been doing this since CS2 with no need for a script. To hide guides and show preview...
1) Go to 'Keyboard Shortcuts'
2) Go to 'Product Area - Tools'. Yes, you'd think it would be in Views! But the buttons for this is at the bottom of the Tool Bar.
3) Go to 'Commands: Toggle view setting between default and preview'
4) Click your cursor inside 'New Shortcut' and hit the key you want or type it in. I choose the unused F2 key
5) Click the 'Assign' button and you are set. Hit the key to switch back and forth.
As for your mouse Zoom, use Power Zoom as described above or just hold down the Alt/Option button in 'Hand' mode and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Not one step but it works!
Now you won't miss Quark at all!

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 to make a keyboard shortcut for this character: ⌘

I am growing very fond of the Character Palette, but there are some characters I like to use allot, and it's becoming a nuisance opening the whole window just to insert a ⌘. I was thinking maybe there is a way to make a keyboard shortcut for this character, just like option-shift-K creates . I opened the keyboard viewer and was thinking maybe I could drag the character into an empty space to create a combo...but it's not letting me. Is there any way to do this?

This is a feature Apple should definitely add customization to on OS X.
You can make custom keyboard layouts that include any characters you want using Ukelele.

I doubt Apple is going to incorporate this into OS X, but you can suggest it here:

Keyboard shortcuts for Macbook pro and wireless keyboards.

I´ve searched for an answer to this issue because it seems so obvious, but I can´t seem to find anything useful. Perhaps I´m just terrible at searching relevant posts here. I apologize if this has been addressed before.
I´m taking some tutorials (from Lynda.com and Ripple training, to name a few) and in all of them, even those about very recent software, they keep aluding to ye olde long keyboards of yesteryear, when you had tildes and the plus and minus signs were on it's own keys. But most modern mac keyboards, on laptops such as macbook pro's, as well as desktop computers now, use the short keyboard. So, for example, if in the tutorial they explain how to reduce the size of a brush with a shortcut pressing command and the plus sign, that shortcut can't be used in a macbook pro, because to get the plus sign you also need a modifier, which completely alters the function of the sortcut.
Now, I guess one could simply edit every command individually, but it seems to me there's gotta be a simpler, easier way to fix this, since old long keyboards have been almost fazed out. It amazes me why don't the programs such as Final Cut, to name an Apple proprietary, just come with a preset for long and short keyboards at this point. But they still don't.
I hope someone can assist me with this issue, and I´m sorry about the syntax and grammar, english is not my native language.

Tom,
No I have not asked on a dedicated forum since this is an issue I've had with several programs (I should start to refer to them as apps), however, it's not a bad idea and I'll skim those forums to see if this issue has been addressed. Also, indeed you are right and I made a mistake in my previous post, the + sign comes up by just pressing that multipurpose key, with shift it will produce the asterisk and with option it will produce the bracket. I got carried away with Melophage's first post where the plus sign is used as an example. I apologize to both for my mistake, and I'll try to be more specific and careful in the future.
Tom and Melophage,
My keyboard does have the Spanish-ISO mode of input by default, and I've added the US input also, although I hardly ever use it. And indeed, being able to do something simple like zooming on a document or a web page with command and the plus sign is something I can easily manage. However, the things I usually have a problem with are, for example (and I'll be more specific this time), in photoshop cs6 to reduce or increase the size of a brush, you have to press either the left or right bracket. For me to get the left bracket, I have to press option and a multipurpose key that contains these three signs: ` ^ [. Now, in photoshop, as soon as you press the option key, the brush, or whatever tool you have selected, turns into the eyedropper tool, so pressing option and multipurpose key doesn´t get you a bracket, gets you the eyedropper and ignores any other key you press.
In final cut there is a similar problem with the bracket to make L cuts with a shortcut that uses the bracket, and both programs also make use of the tilde key, which I don't even have in my keyboard.
You both made me realize, of course, that the problem lies in my regional configuration of the keyboard, and that software makers probably just avoid the hassle of having to come up with multiple different sets of keyboard shortcuts due to those different layouts. I still think this is something that should be addressed right from the box, but now I realize it might not be such a prevalent issue, specially with people who have the US keyboard layout.

What is a keyboard shortcut for expanding/contracting current window?

What is the keyboard shortcut for maximizing/minimizing the current window?

Alt-Space to open the system menu doesn't seem to work anymore with Firefox 6 on Windows 7.

How can you set up a custom keyboard shortcut for Next Tab and Previous Tab?

You can do this in Chrome because there is a top menu item for it, and OS X supports easily rebinding of keyboard shortcuts that are in the main menus.
Is this possible in Firefox? Using a two handed shortcut to switch tabs is annoying when you want to keep one hand on the mouse!
Thanks!

How do i create keyboard shortcuts for the different markup colours?

I want to be able to quickly highlight with different colours in the preview app.

You didn't read my post. You merely read your preconceived notion of what I posted.
If you want to pop up menus and type letters, turn on the functions to activate the menus in the Keyboard & Text Input of Keyboard Shortcuts.
You can then activate the menus, type letters of the menu to select the one you want, then type letters for the menu items to select those. Once selected, arrow down or space to drop the menu or activate a hierarchical submenu.
These items allow you to activate the various menus, Dock, toolbars, etc.
They are default to Function keys (in order), but I changed mine to things that make sense.

How to set up a server for PPro editing (and AE finishing)?

Hello everyone,
I may be a bit offtopic with this question, but at the same time it's really related to PPro.
I never worked in any post-house facility, and I come from a very indy background, so I never had a chance to see any edit suite hook up to a server.
I am wondering how great it is, how it could help our projects? And also what are the basics to know, the stuff to avoid when you're a newbie like me (in term of server network settings)?
Right now, we're running 3 Mac Pros to edit our projects. They are all connected through Gigabit ethernet.
Our workflow involves that all Mac have the entire footage in there own drives. We're using the network only when importing new content to copy it on the 2 other Machines.
We found out that if we use Mac #1 to open a PPro project contained within Mac #2 drives (as well as the footage), it's okay but the performances are not as great as opening a project in its own drives.
So we try to copy (move) the projects in the right Mac before to work on it. Of course, everytime, we have to relink everything if we don't want Mac #1 to read the footage from Mac #2…
When it come to big projects, with lots of Red footage, it is a pain, and we usually end up using only one master machine for the edit, and it's only when it comes to finish in AE that we really start to split the project onto the 3 platforms.
So this is where the idea of a server comes in mind. Mac #1 would work on a project A, then when moving to work on project B, Mac #2 could open project A and keep working on it - no relink: the project AND the footage are all on the server.
That is my basic idea. Sound simple, but really I have no idea if it really works. Is it something I can really do on a server?
How the server really helps to keep the performance? If I see PPro's performance lowering down when accessing projects and footage from our actual simple network, is it going to be better accessing the same datas from a dedicated server.
I'm looking at the Mac Mini server with Lion Server. What Lion Server does that Lion OS doesn't do already?
I know, it sounds like completely newbie questions, but I honestly have no idea.
Can a Mac Mini with Lion Server serve the 3 Macs running Snow leopard? Or do we need to update them?
My idea is to use Pegasus thunderbolts for storage drives, plugged in the Mac Mini, then plug all the 3 Mac into the Mac Mini, with what I believe should be Gigabit Ethernet…
Am I right? A least a bit? What did I miss?
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge guys
Julien

If you are going DIY route, this is your only option: http://magazine.creativecow.net/article/build-your-own-affordable-san-that-iworksi
However that probably won't work with RED footage.

Keyboard shortcut for editing titles and captions

Hi there,
I'd like to edit the titles and captions of a bunch of photos (the contents of an album, for example), and I'd like to know if there is some combination of keyboard shortcuts so that I can do it which constantly using the mouse.
In other words, I'd like to edit the title of a photo, the caption, then the title of the next photo, the caption, etc.
Any suggestions?

Keyboard shortcut for "Ease in" and "Ease out"?

Just wondering if there's a way to map keys for ease in/ease out instead of right clicking keyframes and navigating there.
Thanks.
(Premiere CS3)

I use Ease-In/Out dissolves hundreds of times per project, week in and week out. I've made a simple preset for it. One for Fading in and one for fading out. Drag and drop anywhere on the clip and it snaps to the start and end of the clip as you need it. It's not a keyboard shortcut which would certainly be nice, but it was easier than manually doing it hundreds of times.
One thing I don't like is that I sometimes click on the Preset accidentally and then hit a keyboard button and it's suddenly changed the Preset name to the keyboard key that I hit (usually the space bar) because when you click on a preset twice you can change it's name. I know that sounds dumb and petty, but it happens to my assistant editors every so often as well since they too have to use these dissolves a ton. I wish the only way to rename Presets was by right-clicking on it and having a "rename" selection to prevent the issue I described. It's the little things that sometimes make a big difference so I think I'll submit a FR. Followers welcome.

Keyboard shortcut for navigating through individual windows

Is there a keyboard shortcut associated with moving through different windows open at the same time....?
We all know about using the Ctrl + Tab keys for moving through individual tabs. What about moving through individual windows?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, there used to be such a shortcut before Safari 4 ! ( 'apple' + '<'s no longer present in latest Safari !?
I now use the Exposé function (Application windows) to browse through my open windows.
