[IDCS3] Keyboard Shortcut Issues

InDesign CS3 + WinXP SP3...fully updated on both
Have gone to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts... to verify that I am using the Default set of shortcuts.
I want to use Ctrl+Alt+C to do Fitting: Fit Frame to Content, but for some odd reason I get no response at all from ID.
I have an ATI video card that at one point used that same shortcut to bring up Catalyst Control Center, but I have turned off that ability in CCC.
Is there anyway to see what is bound to this shortcut and restore it back in ID?

Easier than Ken's suggestion is simply to pick something in Edit Keyboard Shortcuts at random and try to apply Ctrl+Alt+C. If there is a conflict, ID will tell you where it is. But that misses the point anyhow if the conflict is from outside of InDesign which it could well be.
I would suggest that you don't use the default shortcuts. Make your own set even if you haven't yet made any customizations. It will encourage you to take advantage of the feature. Besides, sometimes just flipping between sets will jar things loose and get them working again.
And if you have a custom set you can try a couple of tests, like assigning something else to Fit Frame, and assigning Ctrl+Alt+C to something else to see if the shortcut will work there.

Gnome-keyboard-shortcut issue

Hi,
I've configured keyboard shortcuts in gnome-keyboard-shortcuts to launch firefox, evolution. They work fine when i configure them, however after a xorg restart they act wierd.... I have to press the button several time before it opens..
for example, i press the firefox key.. and start doing ps -ef | grep firefox but nothing...
after pressing the button 4 times (interval of 10 seconds in between) firefox finally opens.
same deal with evolution and rhythmbox.
its not that my system is slow because if i click on the icon it opens up in 1 second.
I just dont know how i should diagnose this. Thanks for the help

same issue here for another user in ubuntu

IDCS3 Keyboard Shortcut confusion

I'm sure this is obvious, but I just can't seem to find the answer in help or online-- I've set my keyboard shortcuts to Quark 4; but when I try to use the function key shortcuts, (F7 to show/hide guides, for example), my Mac (MacBook Pro, 10.4.10) uses the Finder-defined shortcut-- so when I try to hide guides, I get Expose. Annoying!
Thanks in advance for helping--
Timothy

Go into your System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts area and change the system shortcuts that are conflicting or turn them off. I turn off about 50% of them immediately upon setting up a new computer just because we will never need the universal access ones or the ones to move keyboard focus around.
However, I would strong recommend getting used to using the Expose shortcuts. They are particularly effective if you define them onto a 5-button mouse. All our mice in here have button 4 set to Show All Windows and button 5 set to Show Desktop. You can whip around through a pile of windows, or just get underneath them all a LOT faster after you do that.
(NOTE: You may have to go to the System Prefs->Expose area to define Expose mouse shortcuts, btw.)

I'm having CS2 Keyboard shortcuts issues

Hi,
I have recently installed Photoshop CS2 on my computer. I have had it on my previous laptop and had created tons of shortcuts for my workflow. When I installed the new version, none of the shortcuts or F-keys would work. (i.e. F2 would put me in Quick Mask mode instead of playing my Flatten action) I had talked to our computer guy about it and he said that Photoshop recognized my keyboard as German (which is not the case, it is English). I have tried resetting the prefs. in Photoshop but that has not helped. I am mainly trying to get my Wacom Intuos pen buttons for increasing/decreasing the brush size. Any help on this topic is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Keyboard shortcuts problem issue after updating to 6.0.5

Directly after installing this update, Command+SpaceBar on the Mac no longer temporarily selects the zoom tool? Not sure what others keyboard shortcuts might be broken, but this is a very standard one. I have a book due on Monday!!! Any help would be appreciated? Thanks!
Not sure if related, but my computer started lagging and freezing directly after installing this update, and continues to the next day, even after repairing permissions, trashing prefernces, trashing SavedData cache, etc.

That totally fixed the shortcut issue!! Fixed in InDesign and Illustrator. Will keep you posted on the computer lagging and freezing issue. Our IT guy thinks it may have something to do the Adobe Updater itself. But we'll see.... thanks so much!

Keyboard shortcut/workflow issues

Just wondering if anybody was having this problem or could maybe say what I'm doing wrong.
1. One of the keyboard shortcuts says: "discard last take and return to start position" which for me is cmd+period (.) . One time it did this, but now it just returns me to the starting position without discarding anything. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Is there a way to pre-roll playback? I was pro-toolin' it the other day and it suddenly dawned on me that I don't think Logic can do this...
3. I have a keyboard short cut that used to toggle the crossfade tool. After one of the updates a while back, it no longer toggles, but rather turns the crossfade tool on, but not off if I hit the short cut again.
Any help?

Many people having many issues with keyboard shortcuts... I have experienced all the issues and tried to get help at Genius Bar and AppleCare, but they don't know how to fix it. I hoped it would be fixed with iOS 8.1.1 and OS 10.10.1 but it's not...
It's a syncing issue with iCloud "Dictionaries" which is a hidden folder in the iCloud Drive folder. If you're a dev or comfortable using Terminal, the following command will place a "real iCloud drive" folder on your desktop which will allow you to see ALL the items in iCloud Drive. Inside this folder is the folder called "Settings" and then "Dictionaries". You can then see other nested folders from each device ID (Macs, iOS) that write to iCloud.
This is not a fix but here's the steps to view those:
1) In terminal:
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/ ~/Desktop/Real\ iCloud\ Drive
2) You will now have an alias on your desktop to the iCloud Folder (you must choose to view it in a Finder window as list view)
Drill down until you find a file with the extension .cdt
3) Duplicate that file onto your desktop and CHANGE the extension to .zip and unzip it.
4) ADD the extension .plist to the end of the UNIX file that was unzipped and then you can view it in text edit app and see the shortcuts info.
Again, not fixing anything, but trying to narrow it down and hope that some developer/programmer out there with better knowledge than mine can help!
Just a reminder to everyone to report the issue to Apple and go to Genius Bar if you have the time and call Apple Support:

Undo issues with Prem CC OSX- can't lock COMMAND-Z to undo feature in keyboard shortcuts

Hello,
As per my described problem in heading, when I lock UNDO command to COMMAND-Z in Premiere CC, when I try to undo with the command my clips / edit on the timeline are shifting right.
If I use UNDO from the pull down menu, the functions performs as expected and my last action is undone.
The keyboard shortcut however will not work and only shifts my clips right.
Is there a fix for this please?
Thanks,
Tom

Bernard,
>I have tried the trash preferences as I mentioned in my original post.
No, you mentioned "resetting prefs". I'm talking about manually trashing prefs.

Keyboard shortcuts, wifi issues

I can no longer do keyboard shortcuts since latest update.

I am running Firefox 34.0.5 on a Windows 7 computer. Firefox updated the other day and I can no longer use my Edit keyboard shortcuts. (ie CTRL V etc) I read an article telling how to correct this with a Mac computer, how do you do it with a Windows computer?

Firefox 35 was released yesterday. Please use Help > About Firefox and run a Check for Updates to get the latest version. Then see if that issue is resolved.

After iOS 8 upgrade keyboard shortcuts gone, just reboot

FYI,
apparently this also happened with the ios7 upgrade. Per the related ios7 thread, after a manual reboot of the phone, the shortcuts reappeared. The reboot solved my problem as my keyboard shortcut settings reappeared after reboot.

I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
Rebooted everything a dozen times.
Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working In Layer Style / Blending Options Dialogue Box (Mac OS 10.6.8)

In the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, my custom Keyboard Shortcuts to zoom in and out of the image is no longer working. Cmd+opt+shift+1 acts as cmd+1 (jumps to Drop Shadow), and cmd+opt+shift+0 acts as cmd+0 (jumps to Stroke). Outside of this box the commands seem to be working fine.
Example 1: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+1.
Result 1: The dialogue box shift focus to the Drop Shadow Options instead of the image zooming in to 100%.
Expected Result 1: The image should zoom to 100%.
Example 2: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+0.
Result 2: The dialogue box shift focus to the Stroke Options instead of the image zooming to “Fit on Screen”.
Expected Result 2: The image should zoom to “Fit on Screen”.
This same thing happened in the CS5 Beta, and it was quickly fixed, so I hope this is not a complicated issue.
Thanks, and keep up the wonderful work!

How can I delete words from the "Replace list" on my Mac without deleting them in "Keyboard Shortcuts" on my iPhone?

I have scoured the internet but I have not been able to find a solution for this issue. It seems my "Replace list" and "with list", or "Keyboard Shortcuts" as it's called on the iPhone (Where to find it on a Mac ; Where to find it on an iPhone) migrated from my iPhone (iOS 8.1.2) to my Macbook (OSX Yosemite 10.10.1) when I logged in with my iCloud account.
I really, really don't want this feature on my computer but I do want it on my phone. However, whenever I delete words on my computer they get deleted from my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to disable this on my computer? This is what my settings look like now:
It seems like other people must not be bothered by this since I can't find anything about it online... but it's driving me nuts. And I've disabled autocorrect in my settings and for the programs I use but it happens no matter what. Is the only solution to this logging my computer out of my iCloud account? I can't believe there is no other way around this...
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Of the items you have left in iCloud that are syncing the "Notes" one might be the most logical.
In some cases items in Accessibility can effects things like this but I see no obvious candidates.

Fix for System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts crash

This is not a question, but a solution to a problem that proved difficult to identify and fix for me and three Apple Support personnel, so I thought I should post it here in case others encounter the same issue. I spent a lot of time searching the web and Apple Discussions for this and related issues did not come up with any solutions.
After migrating from Snow Leopard on 2009 MacBook Pro to Yosemite on a new MBP using the Migration Assistant, things went surprisingly smoothly for the most part, until I opened the Keyboard pane of System Preferences. Then, clicking on the Shortcuts tab immediately caused System Preferences to crash, reproducibly.
Crash Reporter pointed loosely to a keyboard-related preference setting. But "com.apple.preference.keyboard" is the name of an OS process, not a .plist file. I searched the web to try to find out where Keyboard Shortcut settings are stored in Yosemite, and also for a possible way to reset the settings to default in Terminal (e.g. using the "defaults" routine), without success. (Apple Support was not happy that I had Terminal open when they shared my screen, and seemed never to have heard of this routine).
Process: System Preferences [948]
Application Specific Information:
objc_msgSend() selector name: retain
com.apple.preference.keyboard v.14.0 (Keyboard)
objc[948]: GC: forcing GC OFF because OBJC_DISABLE_GC is set
Repairing disk permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, zapping the PRAM, and trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences, some keyboard-related .plist files, and the system prefs and International prefs caches did not fix the problem. With Apple Support, we isolated the problem to my user account, as the same crash did not occur in a test account, or in another account migrated at the same time. Nevertheless, Apple's techs had me removing various menu items and programs also running in these accounts that I had deactivated (Sophos AntiVirus, Little Snitch, etc), and downloading and reinstalling Yosemite, which seemed unlikely to address the cause, given that my main user account was the only one affected.
Apple never had me check 3rd party preference panes (which I should have thought to do earlier myself). Opening and closing an older version of Default App ((RCDefaultApp 2.0.1), a free 3rd party utility, in the Preferences pane, transiently solved the problem. However, it recurred on removing it, and was not fixed by installing the latest release of this preference pane, nor did removing three other 3rd party preferences panes (MacFUSE, a Citrix app, and Flash Player).
Finally I went back to ~/Library/Preferences and looked for any files that had been modified around the time the problem transiently disappeared, and stumbled upon com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist. After viewing its contents with Property List Editor and finding this article, I thought that this file was likely the problem.
I logged into my root account, verified that Shortcuts worked fine there, and that this file changed with a change in Shortcut settings, and (after renaming the offender to save it as a backup), replaced the file in my main user account with a copy of the one from the root account.
I repaired permissions in the offending account, rebooted, and voilà - problem solved!
NB If you are in a similar situation, before trying this fix (at your own risk!), I strongly advise backing up your computer first, and saving a copy of the presumed offending file in case you have to put it back because of unforeseen consequences. You do not need to enable and use the root account; instead you could log in to a new administrator account, or another user account, verify that Shortcuts works fine there (it would not be a bad idea to set up any user-defined App Shortcuts you want there); and copy the file to a shared folder.
Then switch back into the offending account, go to your user Library/Preferences folder (~/Library/Preferences using Go To Folder in Finder), and replace com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist in that account with the one from the shared folder. You should then repair disk permissions afterwards and restart.
If it works, Shortcuts should open fine. Be sure to check each category in the left-hand panel of the Shortcuts panel (e.g. LaunchPad & Dock, Mission Control, etc.) for conflicts, and resolve those by disabling the offending duplicate key combination assignments (I had two, marked by yellow triangle alerts).

Thanks, V.K., for your comments.
I wrote: Enter is accepted, but it's treated the same as Return
not for me. it's both displayed and treated differently. I suspect what you are seeing is a byproduct of using a haxie such as Menu Master.
no it's not. it's treated differently.
In Leopard, Menu Master let me assign Command+Enter to Address Book > Edit Card. When I attempt the same using Keyboard Shortcuts, both Command+Return and Command+Enter are displayed as Command plus a "return arrow." After that, in Address Book, both Command+Return and Command+Enter invoke the "Edit Card" menu action.
not for me.
if you want to use those keys in the shortcuts use one of the many 3rd party app launchers. any one of them will let you do this: Qucisilver, Butler, Spark, Launchbar, ikeys, quickeys etc.
I've been using QuicKeys since the beginning of time, and I have some experience with Butler and LaunchBar. They're useful for what they do. But, as far as I know, none add keyboard shortcuts that are displayed directly in the menus. That display feature is what makes Menu Master and Systems Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts so attractive.
that's because Menu Master is a haxie. none of the other programs mentioned are. you want such functionality you are going have to use a haxie. personally - i stay away from them as they destabilize the system.
When I'm considering new shortcuts, I use KeyCue to display all current shortcuts in a single display. KeyCue now displays QuicKeys shortcuts in the same display, which is a big help.

Keyboard shortcuts are not showing, but still exist!?

I've tried to look for this issue, but I can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this... it's a strange one. Here is the situation:
First, I'm speaking of iOS 5.0.1, and the keyboard shortcuts located under General->Keyboard->Shortcuts.
Upon upgrading to iOS 5, I was pretty stoked about this massive time-saver that was previously only possible through (already forgot the $5 app's name!) and was further restricted in the fact that the only apps it could be used in were those specifically coded to use its API. Anyway, thankful it's now native!
Was... thankful. When they were all showing up in the listing as they are supposed to. Something happened... maybe the upgrade from 5.0->5.0.1, I can't pinpoint a specific time when they all decided to turn to ghosts! Every last one of them, looks like they were erased... the list is totally bare. That's misleading, though, because the shortcuts that I had created still work fine! They just fail to show up in the list. Odd... There have been a couple of rare occassions that I cannot find a way to reproduce where I could just put something in the Search box, (any letter, or a space) and they would all show up again as if they never left!
Until you try and start editing or messing with any of them... any edits will crash the Settings app upon hitting Save. Additionally, you obviously cannot add a shortcut term that already exists then save it "overwriting" an old one as a trick... it just says it already exists and you can't use that shortcut term.
I did take some screenshots of when I got it to actually show up (and still have no idea what I did to cause them to briefly appear as search results -- I can try the same thing now and I get no results found. Anyone have any idea what in the world could be going on, or how I can fix this? It's a real pain, considering any new ones I add also disappear... so many of them that I created months ago, I can't recall what the exact shorthand was, and I'm out of
My only thought for a hopefully "sure fix" would be to do a RESET on keyboard settings. I'd like to avoid it if at all possible, as that's going to erase not only the mass of shortcuts that already exist, but will also reset my custom words/anything it has "learned" from my input.
As far as troubleshooting to see if anything made a difference-- I have added extra keyboards, removed all keyboards, changed the default keyboard to another language, you name it as far as adding or subtracting (or even changing software/hardware keyboard layouts out) -- all to no avail.
Here are the few screenshots I was able to get during the "fluke" time that I "sort of" got them to reappear:
Did a search on "s"--
I believe this was a freshly added one? Or it alone, showed up:
This one I simply searched on a single (space):
At no other point have I been able to recreate this temporary resurrection since then, but as proof that they still are in effect:
I'd really like to go in and change some of them, for instance, I defined "nm" as "not much" and instead, I find myself using that regularly as shorthand for nevermind (which I originally defined as n/m or nvm)... but any action on them... editing, deleting, etc... results in the Settings crash, as mentioned, immediately upon hitting Save... *boop* gone.
Do any of you brilliant minds have any suggestions to try that don't involve resetting the keyboard settings (wiping it out and redoing the OS is not an option for something that is really mostly an annoyance and inconvenience. Too much time, effort and trouble for me to have to do that, unfortunately... Has anyone seen or heard of this happening to anyone else? In closing, I can't tie the disappearance to any specific event, other than "possibly the 5.0.1 upgrade" (and that's just a guess).
What's not a guess was that my iPhone 4 was running super fast and battery worked great at 5.0! Was very happy! 5.0.1 destroyed this thing. It's now slow, constantly crashing, and my batttery (which unlike 4S owners) was working great... now I am having to charge it 3-4 times per day! That's not even with heavy usage! That's another story and has its own (very long and irate) thread. My thought: should've just stayed with 5.0; what possessed me to apply a patch for an issue that I wasn't even experiencing!
Oh, one last probably important bit of info -- firmware is clean, it's not JB or anything. Upgrade to 5.0 went smooth as can be, and I was very pleased with 5.0 -- now I'm considering downgrading back to 5.0 (thankfully saved my SHSH's) though I don't know the implications of what FURTHER havoc that could cause, so I'm patiently waiting for 5.1 to not fix everyone's issues! I never said I was an optimist, but I do consider myself a realist! *nods*
Crap. After posting this, I was able to find these other few users experiencing the same thing. Didn't mean to dupe post but at least here's the cross reference which I'll post there too:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16707743#16707743

Keyboard shortcut no longer working in webapp after FF19 was installed

I work with a company webapp that uses the keyboard shortcut Shift+F9 to populate text boxes. Prior to Firefox version 19 upgrade on my Windows 7 PC, the shortcut worked just fine. After the upgrade, the shortcut stopped working. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, still shortcut does not work. I have run in Safe mode, still no shortcut. Disabled Add-ons, still no shortcut.
I uninstalled FF19 altogether and installed FF18. The shortcut worked just fine once again. All Add-ons intact. FF auto upgraded itself to ver 19 and the shortcut stopped working again.
I also use IE8 with the same webapp and the shortcut works just fine. Any reason why FF19 has disabled this shortcut feature? I asked our company admin of the webapp we use and he has not heard of this issue happening until now.

This is difficult to sort out without hands on access to the webapp. I think Firefox should still allows your webapp to detect the Shift+F9, or at least it does in this simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Test Shift+F9</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Try Shift+F9<br><input type="text" name="textinput" size="25" value="sample value"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keys(key){
if (!key) {
key = window.event;
key.which = key.keyCode;
if (key.which == 120){ // F9 key
if (key.shiftKey){
alert("Shift+F9 pressed!");
} else {
alert("F9 pressed without Shift!");
return false;
document.onkeyup = keys;
document.body.focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>
It's possible that a change in Firefox 19 is interfering with the function triggered by the Shift+F9 keyboard shortcut. Is there another way to run it to see whether that might be the case?
