Insert variable with keyboard shortcut

The only keyboard shortcut I can find to insert a variable is CTRL-0. This colors the left side
of the status bar and gives you the entire list of user variables with -- with "Not Applicable" as the
highlighted choice. It appears that you have to traverse the list with the mouse pointer and
click on the desired variable.
This is just as cumbersome as calling up the variables pod and double clicking on the
variable you want.
Is there a way to define a keyboard shortcut to insert a particular variable?
Cheers,
JP

I just updated to 10.0.2 and the behavior is the same.
I can't tell you the version number I had been running because I couldn't find an "About" button.
I thought that FM checked for updates when I installed it from a 10.0 CD. Applications typically check
for available updates when you install and register and let you choose whether to update.
So Adobe doesn't inform you of new FM updates either?
I really appreciate the help I get from this forum. Even though the update installation didn't
say I had to reboot, I'll try that and let you know whether that changes the behavior.
I'd reboot and check right now except that I have a gazillion things open while I work on
the client's document.
But it's not a life-or-death situation. I may even retain my sanity while trying to figure this out...
Thanks again,
JP

Toggle Play and Resume System Variables with Keyboard Shortcut

Hey Folks,
In many popular video applications (YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc), the Spacebar is used to Play (and then) Pause the movie and I want my project to stay consistent with this.
I'd like to have a single keyboard shortcut (maybe to a hidden button on a Master Slide) that,Plays or Pauses (depending on what is happening) a slide video (or the entire project really), and I want that shortcut to be the Spacebar.
I will be having slide videos (user clicks an Image to go to a slide video, not event video). Playbar will be visible during this time.
In trying to accomplish this, I see that cpCmndPause is an available System Variable. I would assume cpCmndResume is the counterpart to that, or is cpCmndPause=0 the counterpart?
Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Tom

Spacebar cannot be assigned as a shortcut key. probably because it will be reclaimed by browser. The toggle part is easier.

Keynote problems with keyboard shortcuts

Is anyone having problems with keyboard shortcuts not working with Keynote? Had this problem (and a host of others) since the upgrade to Mavericks and the latest Keynote.

Hello,
I can replicate all by problem number 1. Once the PDF loads, I can use the arrow keys to scroll up/down. All of the other problems you mentioned haven't been implemented.
You're certainly welcome to send feedback to Apple, though!

Problem with keyboard shortcut for font size in CC photoshop. The incriments sometimes work, i.e it goes 1 points at the time, but sometimes it goes 10 or even 20 points at the time. It seems to be very random. Any thoughts?

Insert in timeline with keyboard shortcut

Hi,
I am looking for the keyboard shotcut to get a clip in the timeline. I can drag it with the mouse, but there must be a way to do it through a keyboard shortcut...
Thanks (Merci)
Yves

The F9 works but it makes the FCP timeline active, so if i want to keep adding edits from the same clip i have to click the viewer window before continuing, which is really lame because when you drag, you can continue to do so without activating the timeline window

Looking for app to quickly with keyboard shortcut (i.e. Control R) resize photos like I can do with Irfanview in Windows

Hello,
I am trying to switch from Windows to OSX but must first find Mac equivalent solutions for daily tasks performed in Windows.
1. I am looking for an app to quickly resize photos using keyboard shortcuts, i.e. Control + R, just like I can do with Irfanview in Windows.
2. I am looking for an app which will quickly resize multiple photos like I can do with Irfanview.
3. I am looking for another (or the same) light weight app to quickly convert and combine one or more jpgs to PDF. The windows app I am currently using is called JPEGtoPDF from www.compulsivecode.com.
Many thanks for helping me switch to OSX!

Delete files with keyboard-shortcuts

hi
just wanted to know a few tricks or keyboard shortcuts.
on a pc, when i deleted some files, i always pressed the del-button and then the right-arrow to select 'yes'
on the mac it doesn't work the same. you press the cmd+backspace but when i press de right-arrow to select 'yes', it doesn't work.
it means i have to grab the mouse again. is there some shortcut or key to completely perform this operation with the keyboard.
thanks

Sure there is. Select full keyboard access in System Preferences/Keyboard. You will then be able to move around all dialogue boxes (and other controls) via TAB. In addition to ENTER which selects the glowing button, SPACE selects the blue surrounded button.
You can also disable Finder’s "Do you reall want to delete" dialogue in its preferences.

MagicPicker color wheel panel with keyboard shortcut?

Hi!
There's a color wheel panel for Photoshop named MagicPicker that sits in the Window -> Extensions -> MagicPicker menu. Is there a way to assign it a keyboard shortcut? I found no way to do it in the Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts... Thanks for any help!

You might be able to assign a keyboard shortcut (function key) by recording an action using Insert Menu Item
and then picking the color wheel panel from Window>Extensions and using the Action Options to assign a function key.
Example using the Adobe watermark panel:

Safari iOS 8 freezes with keyboard shortcuts on iPad

Safari with iOS 8.0.2 installed freezes if I have one keyboard shortcut with two letters and another with the same two letters followed by a third, e.g., xx and xxz. If I want the text corresponding to the latter, as soon as I try to type the z, the z on the keyboard turns gray and Safari freezes. This was not a problem with iOS 7. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPad is 3 years old. Prior to installing iOS8, it had never seized up, no matter how many tabs I'd had open. Since installing iOS8, Safari frequently freezes, no matter how many tabs I have open. In an effort to remedy this situation, I've reset my iPad several times from within Settings; I've reset my iPad several times by holding both the on/off & wake/sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple icon appears, thereby allowing the system to reboot; I've deleted numerous cookies from my iPad's memory ... and Safari continues to seize, usually while I'm in the middle of a wikia edit, though also in a Facebook post, and even in a prior Apple inquiry. Just what can I do to cease this vicious cycle? What is the solution to this iOS8 debacle?

Turning on/off airport with keyboard shortcuts

i read about a method, in a book, to toggle airport on and off by inventing a shortcut for it. i think it was something like system preferences>keyboard and mouse>keyboard shortcuts>+. the book said type the command exactly as it appears in the menu bar, so in this case, Turn AirPort On, and then you designate the shortcut, by pressing the desired keys. ive done that and they show up in the top right drop down menu, but when i press the keys the shortcut doesnt work. can anybody think what i am doing wrong?

hi guys, sorry for the late reply. i was looking for the page reference to the book i found the shortcut instructions in. im fairly sure it was from the rough guide to osx, which i bought at an applestore in london about two weeks ago; it is the only osx book i have. it was either from there or from some random website. i guess ill just forget it, i wanted it for battery management, so you can turn the airport on and off to save the battery, and its kind of annoying to keep using the dropdown menu for that.
anyway, thanks alot for taking the time to reply. do you think if anybody wrote to apple about the fact that it might be a bug, they would take any notice?

Problems with keyboard shortcuts after iOS 6 update?

Just to be clear what I am talking about, I am talking about Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
My keyboard shortcuts stopped working after the software update. I have deleted and recreated them and nothing.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem :(
I backed up my iphone 4S - which had been ugpraded to IOS6 - and when i restored to my Iphone 5 -- my shortcut keys had stopped working!
Turning it off - and back on again makes shortcuts work - but only for so long
All my shortcuts have been copied over correctly.

Labelling data with keyboard shortcuts

Does somebody know how to mark files with a shortcut?
james

open disk utility, then click the startup disk and under first aid, there should be a button to repair permissions. also there are programs such as cocktail that will do this for you as well as other optimizing tasks that are good for your computer.

Setxkbmap with keyboard shortcuts and xmodmap

I'm using Arch with Awesome WM. I have configured awesome to work with setxkbmap: I have a widget and when I click on it or when I press Alt+Shift it changes the layout.
kbdcfg = {}
kbdcfg.cmd = "setxkbmap"
kbdcfg.layout = { { "us", "" }, { "bg", "phonetic" } }
kbdcfg.current = 1 -- us is our default layout
kbdcfg.widget = wibox.widget.textbox()
kbdcfg.widget:set_markup(" <b>" .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current][1] .. "</b> ")
kbdcfg.switch = function ()
kbdcfg.current = kbdcfg.current % #(kbdcfg.layout) + 1
local t = kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current]
kbdcfg.widget:set_markup(" <b>" .. t[1] .. "</b> ")
os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. " " .. t[1] .. " " .. t[2])
end
-- Mouse bindings
kbdcfg.widget:buttons(
awful.util.table.join(awful.button({ }, 1, function () kbdcfg.switch() end))
However, when I'm in the `bg` layout and use some shortcut (e.g. Ctrl-C) it doesn't work and it's very annoying to constantly switch between the layouts for such a trivial task.
Also, I have disabled CapsLock (via xmodmap) and map it to another modifier key and now I have mapped CapsLock+[hjkl] to right/down/up/left and I have some other mappings. But when I switch to my other layout, these mappings are disabled, and when I reenable them (using xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap), they, of course, don't work: when I press the key `j` it prints `j` instead of `й` (how it should be). Here is my .Xmodmap:
keycode 66 = Mode_switch NoSymbol
keycode 39 = s S dollar dollar
keycode 43 = h H Left Left
keycode 44 = j J Down Down
keycode 45 = k K Up Up
keycode 46 = l L Right Right
keycode 54 = c C Caps_Lock Caps_Lock
Is there a way to solve these problems, and if so - how? Thank you!
