How to skip words using keyboard shortcuts

Using Ctrl+Rt arrow usually skips words when typing in a free text box but FF uses that keyboard command to move through the open tabs. Is this customizable?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== typing in a text field

on the Keyboard Shortcuts page, under the Windows & Tabs section, it says that CTRL + LEFT ARROW (or RIGHT ARROW) will navigate between tabs. this means that when you are in a text box (e.g. typing an email in a web based email provider like gmail, or in the box i am typing this reply in right now) when you press CTRL + L/R ARROW it changes tabs instead of skipping words. so basically firefox is overriding ability to skip words using CTRL + L/R ARROW. this is rather annoying when typing emails using firefox. i have resorted to typing my emails in a word processor, then pasting into gmail.
is there a way to disable the CTRL + L/R ARROW shortcut in firefox? it seems redundant to even have that shortcut because CTRL + PGUP/PGDN already does this.
i did find [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=211030 this page] on the ubuntu forums with a user experiencing the same issue. one user suggested the following (quoted below), but it didnt work for me because the setting was already set to true.
QUOTE FROM UBUNTU FORUMS:
In firefox, type about:config in the adress bar and change layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to True

please how can one How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
Set it for All Applications
Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
Make Upper Case
Make Lower Case
Capitalize
Give them a shortcut.

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.

FAQ: How do I trim in the Timeline using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC?

You can now trim with a lot more keyboard shortcuts in the Timeline in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC. See this article for details: Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.

I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!
Curiouser and curiouser...

Using keyboard shortcuts with the text tool active

How does one use keyboard shortcuts when the Text Tool is selected? For example, how do I switch to the Selection Tool when the Text Tool is active? I cannot press "V", as it simply types the letter "v" instead of switching to the Selection Tool.

Thank you!! I knew it would be an easy solution

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file?
It would be nice to export them, edit and/or add to them in a text editor on my iMac, then import them back into iPhone and iPad.

You can backup the bookmarks to a file, then copy that file to the new computer and import them, for details see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]].
You can copy more than just the bookmarks. The user data, such as bookmarks and passwords, are stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

I want to practice how to fast editing only keyboard shortcut, but...

My question is, only C selecting on primary and X same.
how could I select the clip include connected clip or anather, only using keyboard shortcut?
thanks a lot, (maybe I have bad operating concept)

Try using shift-up/down/left/right arrow. That adds to your selection in the event browser, maybe it will work in the timeline too.

Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6

Just wrote a new blog post about Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.
It's in the FAQ now, as well.
Check it out.

Good question. If/when it does it again, I'll check. However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5. That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout.
Something else I noticed is that my workspace is set for "Import from Project" and I'm supposing it's possible that the keyboard layout is connected to the workspace and might be either resetting it to CS6 or custom, which may or may not have had those customizations. About 25% of the projects I'm working on currently are pre-CS6, so every time I load one of those up, it might be making everything else go wonky.
In any event, I have a better idea what to look out for now. Thanks

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?

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".

Captivate 6 How to validate user input without using keyboard shortcuts

I've been using Adobe Captivate 6 for about 4 months now. Completely new to the program. The number one function of Captivate for me will to create many software simulations for verifiable training. This means that I will be utilizing the training and assessment modes A LOT. I have run into many hurdles throughout the process, but one of my biggies right now is this:
In the training and assessment modes, I have times where the user must input data such as an address or number. In the actual software they will be utilizing it is not always required to use TAB or ENTER in order to move to the next field. In some instances, it will be necessary to actually click into a field after entering data. My problem is that it seems as if Captivate will not allow this, as a keyboard shortcut is automatically entered even if a TAB or ENTER is not required after input. I assume this is so that the inputted information can be verified. If you decide you do not want to use a keyboard shortcut to validate the inputted information, you must have a submit button. Is there any way to change this?? All I want is for the user to enter information and then click into another field WITHOUT having to press ENTER, TAB, or hit a submit button. Is this even possible if you need user input to be validated?? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Hello,
A while ago I explained the work flow I’m using often in that case, only for the last field you need to have either a shortcut or a submit button AND the sequence has to be imposed. The idea is that you make the Submit button for the first field transparent, delete the ‘Submit’ text and put it over the second field. So if the user clicks on the second field, he also submits the value of the first field.
Here is the blog post I’m referring to:

Although it was written for previous versions, the idea will still be functional.

Microsoft Word 2011 Keyboard Shortcut for Indentation

Is there a keyboard shortcut on word for indenting/tabs back and forth. I know on PCs it is alt+shift <-- or alt+shift -->. what is it for mac?

do you know how to at least stop the time out circle?
I concur with the others about using the MS Office forums for this issue. However, with regard to the question above, there really isn't a way to stop the beach ball cursor. That cursor only appears when a particular app is not responding. Sometimes that happens when an app is performing a lengthy and intensive task and is temporarily too busy to respond, in which case the cursor will eventually go away on its own. Other times, this happens because the app has frozen, in which case the cursor will never go away on its own, and the app must be force quit (press command-option-esc, select the app that's not responding and force it to quit). Note that force quitting should not be done too quickly, as forcing an app to quit while it is in the middle of some intense task can cause any number of problems, including corruption of whatever data the app was working with at the time. Any time force quitting becomes necessary, there is a serious problem with the app experiencing the issue.

Accessing passwords using keyboard shortcuts

Hi,
Is there any way I can store passwords or usernames I use for websites that can be accessed via a keyboard shortcut. For example, if I'm browsing in Safari and my bank's website asks for my username, I'd like to be able to press a combination of keystrokes that would automatically enter that username.
Thanks

I don't know of a shortcut to do what you ask, though I use the shortcut hotkeys manager Spark http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22675 to open apps and documents. But it includes the ability to launch applescripts with hotkeys, so there might be a way to do it that way if you know how to write those.
I have several online bank accounts and how I handle the problem you outline is this. I have a Word document with the numbers and passwords of the different accounts in a list. The Document is locked but the password is a single letter for easy opening. When I go to a bank account and it asks for my user number I open the Word document and cut and paste the relevant number to the online account.
By the way it is easier for me to get to the Word document with the Bank details because using Spark I have a shortcut hotkey to access it.

How do I add a keyboard shortcut to remove formatting?

I want to be able to copy a text (⌘C) and then, before pasting it (⌘V), be able to remove the formatting of the text by using another combination (for example ctrlC)
The question is, how do I make my Mac do that?
Thanks!

Hi there Nikkei88,
It sounds like you may be trying to Paste and Match style. The short cut for this is Command-Shift-Option-V. The article below has a list of the common OS X keyboard shortcuts.

I don't know if Cubase lets you reassign keyboard shortcuts within the program, but that is the first place to look. Many pro apps like Ableton Live and Photoshop have a keyboard shortcut editor that only changes shortcuts within that one application.
If Cubase won't let you do that, then here's another possibility. Go into System Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse, click Keyboard Shortcuts tab, scroll all the way down to the bottom where it says Application Keyboard Shortcuts, click the plus button to add an application, and start editing shortcuts for Cubase only.
If that does not let you override the function keys, try downloading FunctionFlip and use it to toggle the function key just for the specific function keys you want to override. This has been a very useful utility in overriding just some function keys. FunctionFlip is a way to apply the OS X Keyboard preference "Use all F1, F2 keys as standard function keys" at a key level, instead of toggling the whole row.
