IPhoto 11 Ignore Faces keyboard shortcut

Hi everyone,
     I am using iPhoto 11 for the first time. I'm sorting through tons of faces using the Library -> Faces -> Find Faces feature. I like the ease with which I can start labeling the people in my pictures. I have one question though, and I have done some internet searches, including one here in the Apple Support Communities (I'm hoping things have changed in iPhoto since the last person asked this question).
     I am trying to label my photos using Find Faces with my keyboard rather than my mouse. It's much faster for me to tab from one photo to the next and label them. One thing I can't seem to do however is use a keyboard shortcut to ignore a face. I'm forced to move my mouse pointer to the black x and click. It slows the process down quite a bit. Is there a shortcut for this? I'd dearly love to be able to get through these 4000+ photos quickly using my keyboard rather than with a bunch of tedious pointing and clicking.
     Thanks muchly,
          -Dustin

I actually just left feedback asking for better workflow.
I'm a bit frustrated by the current solution too.
My suggestion was actually to use coverflow to automatically scroll through them.
Then all I have to do is hit 'Y', 'N', 'space' (to ignore) as each automatically scrolls by.
Or perhaps use the arrow keys: Thumbs UP, Thumbs DOWN, left/right to skip or navigate.
(I wish I could work for them, I could do wonders with that company.. :-)

How do I teel iPhoto to ignore faces in an album?

I have a couple albums with a lot of photos and I do not want iPhoto to find the faces in them. To take them out individually takes too long. Is there any way I can tell iPhoto to ignore faces within an entire album?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.

Why do tabs and windows sometimes ignore the keyboard shortcut (CMD+W)? I keep having to go to File Close Tab

Tabs in Firefox seem to ignore my commands sometimes, seemingly on random. Maybe more so when the tab contains a video, although I could be mistaken.
I'm using a 13-inch, Mid-2009 Macbook Pro running OSX 10.10.2 (the latest build.), but this also happens on my stepdad's 17-inch, Early-2008 Macbook Pro as well.

I think the most common reason would be a plugin intercepting the keyboard. This can happen if you use the controls on a Flash video, for example.
''This is copy/pasted from an old post:''
Over the past couple of years, users have noticed that the Flash player on YouTube was particularly "sticky" or tenacious when it came to capturing keyboard focus.
Last time I looked into this, about a year ago, I posted this summary of previously mentioned workarounds:
(1) Full screen the video and then switch back
press f then Esc - focus will move back to the page
(2) Switch to another application window and then back {WINDOWS}
press Alt+tab then Alt+tab - focus will move back to the page
(3) Click on a different tab then click back - focus will move back to the page
Some users also reported that the YouTube player behaves normally (i.e., clicking the page regains control) if you disable the Flash Player plugin's protected mode feature. There is now a hidden preference for this:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''flash''' and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the '''dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode''' preference to switch its value from false to true.
This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

Create a Keyboard Shortcut to remove a recognised face in iPhoto

I did originally post this in the iPhoto forum but it was suggested that it may be a script is required to achieve this, so I have posted the contents of my original qustion here below.
The original post is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2448152&tstart=0
This seems to be something that others would like to do also (remove multiple recognised faces in iPhoto) bat as yet, Apple do not have anything built in iPhoto to do this
I think the title says it all but just to be clear I shall explain.
Since there is no way to delete a quantity of recognised faces in (for example) a random group/crowd scene, and you cant block certain photos from having Faces scan them I was wondering about creating a keyboard shortcut equivalent of clicking the little cross in the top of each 'Face Box'
The tab key allows you to move from one Face Box to another, so if I could jsut create a KB shortcut to do the deleting as well, then it maybe a bit quicker than the mouse work that is required when deleting 5 + faces on a single photo.
I know how to create KB shortcuts for Application menu items, but the Delete Face box option does not seem to have a mneu item.
Anyone either:
1) Know how I could achieve this
or
2) Another quick multi 'Face Box' delete workflow

Might be something an Appls script could do. Ask in the Applescript forum. Otherwise, submit a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Ignore Face with keyboard?

I use the keyboard to tab to different detected faces in a picture, name them, and tab to the next face. I cant however, find a keyboard shortcut to ignore or delete a detected face. I have to mouse over each face and click the X in the top left corner. Please tell me I'm missing something and iPhoto has a way to do this with the keyboard?
Thank You
Josh

I'm afraid you're not missing anything.

Keyboard shortcut for "add face"

I am going through my library add face names to all my photos.
The automatic search isn't great, so it's taking a very long time to go through each photo.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to add a new face? I'm having to move the mouse around to click on "Add New Face" and would prefer to work just off the keyboard
Thanks.

Thanks - that's a shame as it really is time consuming adding new faces (and then also adding the right names).
I see there is an option to "Detect Missing Faces" - if I select a number of photos will it only detect those highlighted, or, my whole library? I would have thought the former but when I do it takes a long time so thought it maybe its detecting faces across the whole album.

Numbers ignores previously defined custom keyboard shortcut

I used the System Preferences->Keyboard to set a keyboard shortcut for Numbers. I defined ^; to insert the current date: "Date & Time". It worked fine, until the next time I started Numbers. The short cut was shown in the menu, but it would not respond to the keyboard. I went back the to the Keyboard Preferences and set it again, while Numbers was running, and it worked. I repeated a few different ways, essentially I have to redefine the Keyboard shortcut after each time that I start Numbers, even though the menu shows the appropriate shortcut. Is this a known bug or do I have another problem?

Keyboard shortcut to add desktop?

Is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut to add a virtual desktop?
I don't see one in Shortcuts or in the finder menu.

Is there any way I can create a keyboard shortcut (i.e. F1, or command-F, a right-click, or something) to take the place of clicking on the "Add Missing Face" button?
Probably with an app like *_[Keyboard Meastro|http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main>_* or similar.

Secret dragging tricks and keyboard shortcuts - are these published anywhere?

I have searched for some and stumbled upon others. But I have not seen any of these published or posted anywhere. If so, can you tell me? Either way, you may find some useful ones here. Enjoy! (I think most of these work in Lion. Any keyboard shortcuts you know for Time Machine would be most welcome.)
*** THE DOCK ***
Press ^F3 to move to the dock. Use the arrow keys to select an icon. You can also use autocomplete (type the first few letters of the icon's name). Then press Opt-arrow_key to move the *icon* among the other icons on the Dock. Thus you can change the order of the icons on the Dock using only the keyboard.
*** DRAGGING TRICKS ***
o SAVE-AS SHEET TRICK
Open an app's Save As sheet. Drag a folder or its proxy icon to anywhere in the Save As sheet except the sidebar and that updates the directory (folder) field with that folder. Drag a file or its proxy icon to the Save As sheet (anywhere except the sidebar) and that updates both the directory (folder) and file fields accordingly.
Why do I do this? I find it easier to use the actual Finder, or I may already have a Finder window in the right directory.
You can also click on a directory or file in the Save As sheet to populate the directory or file fields, respectively. Then edit the filename to a slightly different name.
o COPY A FOLDER TREE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
Open a true text-only editor session using an app like TextWrangler (not TextEdit!). Drag a folder (or its proxy icon) from the Finder into the editor window. Viola`! The names of the folder and all its subfolders and files are pasted into the text buffer in a properly indented form.
o COPY A FILE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
Drag a file from the Finder into a text-only editor like TextWrangler or similar (not TextEdit!) and the _contents_ of the file (not its icon) are inserted into the document.
o MAKE A NEW FILE THAT CONTAINS SELECTED TEXT
Select some text. Drag it to a folder. This creates a "textClipping" file which contains the selected text. Opens as a "Finder document".
o COPY A PHOTO FROM IPHOTO TO A FOLDER
Open iPhoto. Drag (to copy) a photo to a folder. Makes a jpeg file of the photo in that folder.
*** KEYBOARD TRICKS ***
o MENUS AND LISTS
Opt-U/D: Move highlight bar to top or bottom of most menus and lists. Does not work in Spotlight drop-down menu. Works in Snow Leopard Mac Mail (v 4.5, anyway) if you hold it down for a second: you get an error signal, but it works anyway.
PgUp/PgDn | Home/End: Moves highlight bar to top or bottom of menus. Moves only the view for lists.
Opt-Spacebar: Move highlight to the alphabetically first item in a menu (except in the Spotlight drop-down menu).
o SPOTLIGHT DROP-DOWN MENU
After selecting an item on the drop-down menu via the arrow keys:
Cmd-Return: Open enclosing folder.
o SPOTLIGHT WINDOW
If ^F7 is set to "all controls", press ^F7 four times if it's the first search in a particular Spotlight window; two, otherwise. This moves you to the list of results.
If ^F7 is set to "text boxes and lists only", just Tab.
o CALENDAR WIDGET
Home: go to the current year and month.
Up, down, left, right arrows: go one year back, one year forward, one month back, one month forward. Hold a L or R arrow down to autorepeat through the years. (You can't do _that_ with the mouse!) Also works with U and D for the months.
o SPELL CHECK
Cmd-Shift-; - Open spelling pane. But you knew that one. Press ^F6 to get to the pane. Tab around to everything except Define and Guess. With the focus on the replacements list, use the arrow keys to select a replacement word from the list. (Press the spacebar to run the control with the highlight perimiter and press Return to run the control with the solid highlighting.)
o MAIL
Cmd-I - Open Account Info window
o NAVIGATING HELP PANES
- Old-style help panes :
Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
Tab: Move among the Search field, the page, and the controls on top. Add Shift to reverse.
When on the page:
Use the usual navigation keys -- Up, Down, Home, End, Page up, and Page Down, Spacebar, Shift-Spacebar -- to scroll through the page.
Opt-Tab: move among the links on the page or items in a "Help Topics" list. The highlight perimeter will be rectangular. Press Return or Enter to click the selected link or item. Add Shift to reverse direction.
Cmd-F: Open the Find bar. Move about with Tab. Move among the arrows with L or R arrow keys. To find a string: Type your search string in the Find field. Press Return or Enter. Press again to find the next occurrence, etc.
To go to the page from the Find bar: Shift-Tab to the left or right arrow. Then press Shift-Tab two more times.
To close the Find bar: Tab to Done and press the spacebar or just press Escape.
You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.
When the highlight perimeter is on one of the arrow controls, press Spacebar to click it. If the left arrow control is selected press the down arrow to see places going backward. If the right arrow control is selected press the Down arrow to see a list of places going forward. Either way, use the usual menu navigational shortcuts.
When the highlight perimeter is on the Home control, press the down arrow to get a menu of apps. (The mouse way for this is to click and hold and "drag" and release as above.) The usual menu navigational shortcuts are valid. Also, you can press the spacebar to go Home.
When the highlight perimeter is on the Gear button, press the spacebar or down arrow to get the drop-down menu. The usual menu navigational shortcuts are in effect.
(To do any of the above three with the mouse, click on the control and hold the mouse button down, then without releasing the mouse button, move the pointer to highlight the desired item on the menu and release the mouse button.)
- New-style help panes:
Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
Tab to move around to most things. The table of contents becomes keyboard-active one Tab-press past the Search field, at which point use the L and R arrow keys to navigate the Contents panel, and the U and D arrow keys to move the down and up the page.
To be able to use PageUp and PageDn, Tab to the back/forward button, then press Shift-Opt-Tab.
Cmd-F: Opens the Find bar. Navigate with Tab and L/R arrow keys. When you are on this bar, press Shift-Tab repeatedly until the highlight perimeter moves out. Then press Shift-Tab once more to go back to the page, where the L and R arrow keys move you around the TOC sidebar and the U and D arrow keys scroll the page.
AFAIK, you can choose Get Started or Browse Help only with the mouse.
You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.

I guess you meant that unfortunately these don't have them.
(1) I meant that, unfortunately for your impressive work, there's nothing in it that hasn't already been documented elsewhere. The two items I mentioned contain your shortcuts, and many more besides.
I don't see any of them in either. I have Pogue's book and they're not there. In fact, I emailed these tricks to him and he was impressed with some of them. And of course there are more. I never claimed to have an exhaustive list. In fact, I doubt anyone has such a list.
(2) Mac OS X v10.6 has been out for, what is it, 3 years? If you think that there are any 'secret' shortcuts left, then you seriously underestimate the average Mac user. Some of that stuff is even older. For instance, the "Save-As Sheet Trick" dates back to Jaguar, or even before that. "Make a New File That Contains Selected Text" is older than Mac OS X itself!
Well, first of all there's no need to get hostile.
I don't underestimate the average Mac user. But I would venture to guess that most are heavily mouse oriented and would not even be interested in the keyboard tricks I posted. And I only said that I haven't seen them on any website, not that no one else in the world knows about them.
Additionally, there have been things missed by the smartest of people. Stereo vision was missed even by Issac Newton, one of the biggest geniuses to grace the planet! It was Wheatstone who first picked up on it. And it used to be thought that a cube flying by at relatvisitic speed would appear foreshortened in the direction of motion. In fact, as was noted decades after relativity was published, it in fact appears rotated. If super smart people could miss this, then perhaps those few who publish these tricks may not know about them.
Re the save-as trick and the new-file-contains-your-text tricks: fine, they're old, but so are many of the tricks that are posted on websites. So why some old ones but not others? How about cut and paste? I bet they're pretty old but that doesn't prevent people from posting them, as in your first reference!
(3) Also unfortunately, your listing mixes up shortcuts and 'tricks' of different categories. For instance, "Copy a File to a Text Document" is not secret, it is not a trick, and it is not relevant. What an app does with a file dropped onto an open document of its own does not depend on the system, but on the app and how it was programmed. TextEdit inserts a text file's path while TextWrangler inserts the text file's contents not because the former is not a text editor, but because that's how each was designed to work. And TextWrangler's behaviour is documented in the accompanying manual.
So one of my tricks is lame. I don't see that as that big a deal.
Bottom line: I don't see any of them in the docs you referenced.

How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!

Defining keyboard shortcut in Photoshop CC not working (OSX)

Hi,
I face a strange problem when trying to redefine a keyboard shortcut on Photoshop CC or CS6 on an IMac 2013 running the latest version od OSX.
a --> A
ù --> Ù
Every time I type a key it's the uppercase version of the letter that is taken.
If I go for example on Text tool to put some text in images it's ok.
It only happens in the dialog box to define keyboard shortcut.
Note that same version od CC and CS6 works correctly on my macbook Air running also the latest OSX.
Any idea where the problem could come or been solved ?

What is the keyboard Shortcut to go to the last frame or end of a clip?

I used to have this shortcut set up, but I reformatted my mac and now I can't find it anywhere. I've searched the forums and can't find it, and yes, I looked at the help and looked at the manual. I've also went to Tools->Keyboard Layout and went through every keyboard shortcut listed. It is probably staring me right in the face!
The closest I can find is the "goto next edit".
I do a lot of photo montages and had this shortcut set up so I could double clip the photo on the timeline, set my first keyframes and then shortcut to the end of the photo and set my last keyframes so I can do my "Ken Burns" effects. I actually had set a macro on my mouse to simulate the keyboard shortcut.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

In Premiere Pro CC 2014 Is there a "go to timecode" keyboard shortcut??

So I looked around a bit, and I can't seem to find the keyboard shortcut for this. So rather than give up, I decided to finally join this forum so I can ask the experts. As well as find other answers to nagging questions I have about adobe products in general.
Basically I am just trying to find a way to jump around my timeline using timecode, without having to reach over to my mouse and click on this: every time I want to change the timecode.
Thanks in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

On my system you don't have to use the mouse.
If you have the timeline panel or the Program panel active, and start entering numbers on the numeric keypad portion of the keyboard, they automatically begin to populate the timecode window. Hit enter on the keypad and the playhead is moved to the timecode location you have entered.
If you use Shift + 0 to switch to the Source monitor, again, just typing numbers on the numeric portion of the keyboard populates the timecode window. Hit enter on the keypad and the source monitor playhead is moved to the timecode location within the clip you have entered.
The catch, as I said, is that you must be entering a timecode number that can be found within the duration of clip, otherwise your typing is ignored. No mousing required.
