IOS6 keyboard shortcuts no longer work

am I the only one with this problem??? since updating to iOS6, my keyboard shortcuts do not work....at all. Then, having switched everything to iPhone 5, keyboard shortcuts still do NOT work at all. I've tried everything I can think of... power cycle, restart, re-sync. anyone else having this issue???

IDK if this will help, I turned documents off in icloud and they worked, but when I toggle or turn documents on....no luck. I read in a separate post to uninstall and then reinstall emoji.....I really don't want to delete and reneter all my shortcuts I have at least 10 for every letter. Has anyone tryed the emoji un/reinstall? I'm fine with the documents being off in icloud......for now. I hope this helps someone.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

Some Keyboard Shortcuts No Longer Working in Apps

Recently, two specific keyboard shortcuts have stopped working within all my apps:
command-1
command-2
For example, in Final Draft they are supposed to switch formatting to become scene headings and action lines, respectively. All the other command shortcuts still work. In Word, I have command-1 through command-6 commands set to change text colors. Command-1 and command-2 no longer work but the rest stil function properly.
All of my shortcuts worked perfectly for well over a year. Anyone know why two of them might have stopped all of a sudden?
Thanks in advance,
---Tim

Here's the second way:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work. Not only that I can't change them either. If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in. My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.
I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).
Any idea how to fix this?

If you want to go through all the steps I took:
1. Restart
2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)
3. Reset keyboard dictionary
4. Reset all settings
5. Clear autofill
Only after the last step did things start working. Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take. Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app. In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.

Basic Panel Keyboard Shortcut No Longer Works

For some reason when I try to use the keyboard shortcut (command 1) to return to the basic panel it no longer works. Any ideas?

Is there a keyboard shortcut in your operating system for Cmd-1? This would most likely override the Lightroom keyboard shortcut.
Also, you can try deleting your preference file: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work in CS4 and Leopard

Got a new Mac Pro so the OS is Leopard, I had F-keys assigned to open menus etc., and they are no longer working, e.g., I had F 10 assigned to Image Size, now it turns the mute on and off.
How do I get it back to the previous behavior?
TIA,
Geoff

No doubt it's the new aluminum keyboard (which I love), that's tripping you up. There are a couple of ways to address it.
Go into the Keyboard preferences and place a check for the
i Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys
(i.e., the "old way")
You can then assign different keys for system level control in Keyboard shortcuts tab.
Alternatively, you can leave it unchecked - in PS, press and hold the
b fn
key (next to the home key), before using your standard F key shortcuts. The fn key is basically a temporary "toggle" to switch the focus between system and application. So, pressing fn before hitting F10 will not mute the system sound, but carry out whatever PS shortcut you have assigned.

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?

Several keyboard shortcuts no longer works

I went from an iBook G4 with MacOS 10.3.9 and Final Cut Express 2.something.
I now use a curent MacBook Pro with macOS 10.6.2, Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and all the latest updates and patches.
Several keyboard shortcuts that should be there are not working. The Mark IN "i", the Clear In and Out, and maybe others as well are not responding, I have to go in the menu with the mouse which is a pain and a waste of time!
Other keyboard shortcuts are working, like the space bar, the arrow keys, the Snapping control "n" and the Mark Out "o". Go figure!
Anyone experienced this?

To my knowledge Leopard has (or had ?) a bug that prevents FCE and FCP keyboard shortcuts to work correctly with non-US keyboards. Since I still run 10.5.x I cannot say if this is a problem with Snow Leopard, but in my experience some version of 10.5.x fixed it for Italian keyboards.
In any case the following workaround worked with me, when I had this problem.
You might try it and see if it works with you too:
- Open the International panel of System Preferences
- click the Language tab
- drag "English" to the top of the list (on top of the current language)
- drag back the current language to the top of the list
- close System Preferences
- (close if necessary and) open FCE or FCP: shortcuts should be fixed.
This seems to work till the next system startup; then you have to repeat this procedure...

Mouse/Keyboard Shortcuts no longer working

The mouse and keyboard shortcuts for Exposé, Dashboard and Spaces have stopped working. I have tried resetting the mouse buttons to the standard usages (Button 4 = Exposé; Button 3 = Dashboard), as well as the shortcuts for spaces but they still don't work. The F8-F12 keys are also defunct.
I have tried cleaning the mouse as advised on another part of the forum and have created a guest account to see if the problem still occurs - but everything works as it should. I have also repaired permissions and verified the disc just in case.
Are there any other suggestions that might help?

If it works in a new user then it is a preference file remove the com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your user. To do this go to ~/library/preferences
~=your user folder (the house)

Keyboard shortcuts no longer working on 10.5 in Firefox and Photoshop

We developed an Inuttitut keyboard layout for Mac OS X 10.4 and above (Inuttitut is the language of the Inuit in Nunavik, the most northerly region of Québec province in Canada). For information, our layout allows to type in Unicode whenever Caps Lock is on (Caps Lock off giving the standard Canadian English keyboard) and our keyboard layout Nunavik [Unicode] CSA can be dowloaded from this webpage (http://www.kativik.qc.ca/en/aipai-fonts). The only problem we found is on 10.5, both with FireFox (2 and 3) and Photoshop (CS3). When we select our keyboard layout (using Mac OS Input Method Selector), shortcuts using the Cmd key don't work anymore (Cmd-C for copying, etc.) in FireFox when Caps Lock is on, and in Photoshop whether Caps Lock is on or off.
It is important to note that our keyboard layout abides by the Mac OS X standards for developing keyboard layouts, and works perfectly with all other applications we have tested so far, on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
We believe that 10.5 has a new feature whose side effect is to render shortcuts ineffective for FireFox and Photoshop (and very likely other applications that we don't use).

[SOLVED] KWin keyboard shortcuts no longer working

My Kwin shortcuts (Maximize, tile-left, tile right) have stopped working since doing a pacman update yesterday. Any ideas on how to fix them? I am running Arch in a VirtualBox 4.3.10 VM.
EDIT: Never mind, the problem was resolved for whatever reason by today's gtk3 update.

Spaces keyboard shortcut no longer works

I restarted my computer because expose/dashboard stopped working. After the restart, they were fine, but there was a new problem. The shortcut to view all spaces (F8 on my computer) will not work no matter what key I assign it to...though it works if I assign it to a mouse click. Switching using ^Arrow or ^# still works normally.
Any clues?

I have the same problem. At first Spaces would not remember the mouse shortcut, now it's Expose which does not remember on of its mouse shortcuts. I tried changing the mouse but the same problem occurred.

Services/Keyboard Shortcuts Suddenly Stop Working

Hi,
I have had a problem for the past month or two relating to services/keyboard shortcuts that I have created in 10.10. I have had these same shortcuts for approximately 18 months and they worked fine on previous versions of OS X but since 10.10 they stop working after approximately 30-40mins. As I say it is only in 10.10 in 10.9 they worked all day every day without a problem.
I have created a service which allows me to right click on a directory of images and select a name to rename all the images within that directory in descending order. I have also created a keyboard shortcut that allows me to launch the Chrome App Launcher.
When I boot up the keyboard shortcut works fine. When I right click on a directory I see the services menu with all the services I have added. But after 30 minutes or so the keyboard shortcut no longer works (Apples on built in keyboard shortcuts work as they should) and if I right click on a directory the services entry is missing but apples own services appear at the bottom, the ones I have created created don't.
If I try to access services through the menubar the services I have created are missing but apples own services are still there. In the services menu my keyboard shortcuts also appear but clicking on them does nothing.
I have 2 images which show a before 30 mins how my context menu/menubar menu look and after 30 mins.
I hope my question and images make sense and someone can help me find a remedy for this.

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...
