Is it possible to define a global keyboard shortcut for Exposure Adjustment?

I often find myself having to get out of full-screen mode or having to pull up the Develop or Library module from the hidden right panel just to adjust exposure and nothing else (it is my most common adjustment).
Is there some way to globally define a key so I can adjust exposure without having to exit full-screen?

Globally? No.
However, if you click on the word exposure, you can indeed adjust exposure with the + or - keys.
I believe you'd have to do this on each photo, and if you click on another word in the Basic panel then that slider is now controlled by + or - (for example, if you click on contrast, then the + or - keys adjust contrast).

  • Is it possible to make a global keyboard command for an Applescript application?

    I have created an application with Applescript, and I want to create a global keyboard command that brings up an input dialogue.
    If that's not possible, is there a way to make a dialogue appear when the Dock icon is clicked?

    The regular keyboard shortcuts work with whatever application is currently active, so that leaves option number 2.  To add a dynamic menuu item to the dock menu, you can add a couple of handlers to the CocoaAppletAppDelegate.scpt, which is located in the bundle contents of the Cocoa-AppleScript applet (created when you use the File > New from Template menu item):
      on applicationDockMenu_(sender) -- dynamically add a menu item to the dock tile
        set myDockMenu to current application's NSMenu's alloc's initWithTitle_("") -- don't really need a title here
        myDockMenu's addItemWithTitle_action_keyEquivalent_("My spiffy new menu item", "menuAction:", "")
        return myDockMenu
      end applicationDockMenu_
      on menuAction_(sender) -- do something when the dock menu item is selected
        set menuTitle to sender's title() as text
        # do something
        tell current application to activate -- make sure dialog is in front
        display dialog "The " & quoted form of menuTitle & " menu item was clicked…"
        tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab using {command down} -- switch to previous application
      end menuAction_

  • Global Keyboard Shortcut for Text-Entry

    I have found what seem to be extremely simple instructions for creating a Keyborad Shortcut which, when pressed in any app, will cause a string of text to be "typed." I need this because I have a problem typing numbers without messing them up. Let's say I want to have a command key (e.g. Shift-Control-Command-c) which would cause "+1-323-555-1221" to be entered wherever I am (TextEdit, a box in a web browser, whatever). Here are the instructions I've followed:
    1. Go into "Automator" and create a "Service."
    2. Set the service to "recive no inpout" in "any application"
    3. Drag "Run AppleScript" from the left column and then set the text exactly as follows:
           tell application "System Events"
             keystroke "+1-323-555-1212"
           end tell
    4. Save the script with a name (e.g. "MyAutoTextScript")
         (note that at this point, if I press green "Run" button inside Automator,
           "+1-323-555-1212" WILL be typed write into the script editor window,
           so that seems good, no?!
    5. Go into System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyborad Shortcuts -> Services, and find "MyAutoTextScript"
    6. For "MyAutoTextScript", set a shortcut using "Add Shortcut".
    SO... I've done all of this and AAAAAARRRRGH, it doesn't work! When I go into any app at all and press this key combination - I tried a bunch of them - it just does nothing. Tried TextEdit, Terminal, etc., etc. No text is entered. Nothing happens.
    At first I thought maybe the Keyborad Shortcut combo I chose was a conflict, but supposedly, it's supposed to tell me if there's a comflict (though I've tested that by trying a combo that I KNOW is taken and it does *not* tell me of a conflict (strange!), but anyway, no matter WHAT combination I try, NOTHING.
    I really would appreciate help with this. I'd rather not use some crazy third-party app for something like this which seems like it should be so simple. And I need this because of the disorder I have to live with which causes me to muss up these numbers.
    Help is much appreciated!
    Thanks.
    Alex

    Same thoughts.
    Spotify connect via mac. Play, pause, next previous works well with the keyboard shortcuts. However, for volume control using the the tiny volume slider is not ideal.
    Any workaround would be greatly appreciated. 

  • [SOLVED] Global keyboard shortcuts

    I would like to assign a combination of keys to make some actions:
    - Open the konsole
    - Open the file explorer
    - Minimize all the windows (to see the "desktop")
    I've seen that it's possible to assign some shortcuts by: System Settings -> Keyboard & mouse -> Global keyboard shortcuts. However, it is limited to a set of KDE components and I couldn't assign any of the actions I wanted. This assignment is rather simple in Gnome. Do you know if it is possible in KDE? Do I need to use xbindkeys?
    Thank you in advance
    Last edited by jjjaime (2009-03-19 10:50:18)

    Either use xbindkeys, OR if the actions you want are supported by Gnome's keyboard dialog, run gnome-settings-daemon at startup of X/your DE/WM.  I personally use both for different reasons.  Not only will your gnome/gtk apps inherit your nice gtk theme, you will also have those keyboard shortcuts you wanted.

  • Global keyboard shortcuts (Exposé, Spotlight, etc.) not working

    I've run into an odd problem with my computer--sometime around or after I upgraded to 10.4.8, my global keyboard shortcuts have just flat-out stopped working. I noticed this quickly because I use LaunchBar and it stopped activating when I hit its keyboard shortcut...I noticed the same thing happened with Spotlight, and later, Exposé--when I hit their keyboard shortcuts, nothing happens. Even if I change the shortcut to a new key and hit the new key, nothing happens.
    I have tried removing Launchbar completely in case it did something to mess things up (no luck) and have completely reapplied the 10.4.8 combo updater, as well as repair permissions. None of these things have helped?
    Any ideas? I'm stumped on this one.

    MadFax7 on the Ambrosia Software forums helped me out here (I posted this same post over there as well: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=107371)--he thought (correctly) that it sounded like a preference problem. I discovered the preference through a handy bit of Spotlighting--after deleting com.apple.universalaccess.plist and restarting, all my keyboard shortcuts reset to their defaults and started working again--I'm replying with the answer I found just in case someone else runs into the same problem or just wants to reset all their keybindings.

  • Is it possible to define a seperate number range for purchase requisitions

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to define a seperate number range for purchase requisitions that come from Forecast vs normal MRP requisitions so that our purchasing department can identify the origin of the document?
    Thanks
    for the thoughts
    Sreeni

    You'd need to figure out manually how forecast PR's are different from MRP PR's (the field from PR tables ) and then in the user exit I mentioned the program looks at the table T161 and field NUMKI, and if the PR getting created is from forecast change that NUMKI in the program to a different one else keep it as it is. If you're know abap programming it won't take long to figure out the logic else work with your developer to implement it.

  • KDE - Global keyboard shortcuts not working

    My global keyboard shortcuts have stopped working in KDE. When I try to open "Shortcuts and Gestures" in the System Settings, it freezes, and eventually needs to be terminated. Any ideas what could be causing this? I don't see any related recent updates in my pacman.log. I'm not even sure how to go about troubleshooting this.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    First, sorry to re-up that post after such a long time.
    So, for some reasons, I had the same shortcuts problem since I installed Archlinux on my computer (more than ten months ago).
    Shortcuts work when I start my computer up, but after a while (and for no reasons), it just stops working.
    That problem is very annoying as I have to do everything using the mouse (and for someone like me who is used to shortcuts, it's very hard..... and long).
    And, today, I finally managed to get shortcuts working.
    And, the problem seems to come from the Dual Screen with my Nvidia graphic card.
    I don't know why, but if I unplug my TV (HDMI connexion), shortcuts just work perfectly. If I plug my TV and set X for DualView, then after a while shortcuts don't work (or very badly).
    I have no idea why... also, don't know if the issue is from KDE or Nvidia (I would say KDE as sometimes, when pressing Alt+Tab, the focus goes on the desktop of the TV, and then shortcuts don't work).
    Anyhow, hope this will help people having the same issue.
    And, of course, if you have any idea on how to fix that problem I would be very grateful (because, I really like having my TV as a second screen).

  • Keyboard shortcuts for functions inside paragraph styles panel possible?

    I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for functions inide the paragraph styles panel in PS CS6.
    It seems that no option to do this  is exposed - ist this correct?

    That's an interesting approach and it made me aware about menu item insertation - but unfortunately none of the suggested works.
    Clear overrides when executed by button can work both on selections of text and on complete text blocks, the recorded version of
    pressing the button disregards that there's a selection and therefore only works globally. The menu insertation method can not deal
    with existing selections either - it's entry is greyed out in the actions panel when portions of the text are selected.

  • Assigning Global Keyboard Shortcut to Display Home Folder

    Hi there,
    I've done some hunting to determine if there is a way to assign a global keyboard shortcut to display a finder window displaying one's home folder contents. I don't see how I can do it using "Keyboard Shortcuts" in system preferences. Does anyone know if there is a way to accomplish this?
    Thanks!

    you can't make a keyboard shortcut like that that will work from any application using keyboard system preferences.
    You can do it with a 3rd party app as follows.
    paste the following into script editor and save it as a script or an application.
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #ADD8E6;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    tell application "Finder"
    make new Finder window
    open home
    activate
    end tell</pre>
    then use a 3rd part application launcher to bind a global shortcut to it. Try Quicksilver, Butler, ikeys or Quickeys for that.

  • Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for "Export book to PDF"? (Cannot find it in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.)

    I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut for the "Export Book to PDF" command on the Books panel menu, but I simply can't find that command in Keyboard Shortcuts. After not finding it in what seemed the logical place (Keyboard Shortcuts > Product Area: Panel Menus > Book), I've looked through all the Product Areas listed on the dropdown menu -- but it seems I must be missing something.
    What do I need to do / where do I need to look to assign a keyboard shortcut for this command?

    Sorry, I agree that that is missing in action. I don't know of a workaround unless someone has written a script. Scripts can be called with keystrokes.

  • How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

    I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
    Many thanks!
    Amadeus

    Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
    cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
    So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

  • How do I change the keyboard shortcut for Cycle through open documents in PS CC for Mac?

    Sorry to bug the community with such a seemingly inconsequential task, but I am seriously tired of using the awkward default keyboard shortcut for cycling through open docs in PS.  I'd like to change it to what I am used in in Chrome, which is Cmd+Option+[left] or {right} arrow keys.  I noticed this is not a command listed in the in keyboard shortcuts, for whatever reason.  Where on Earth can I change this? 
    If it is not possible to do it by default, is there a plug-in or a change to the code that will allow this basic functionality? 
    Thanks again guys and gals!

    As far as I know, you can't. It's "hard wired" in.  Not even Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts is allowed  to change it.
    However I did find this tip:
    Anyway i never found tabs in Adobe application useful, instead i prefer the old school method: simply switch off tabs feature via illustrator/ preferences/ user interface/ open documents as tabs. Then in Mac preferences panel, under keyboard, just search for the “focus on next application window” field (under menu, keyboard and text) and assign a shortcut if the default option doesn't fit you. And there is now you can easily switch between open documents!.
    The best part of this is that it can be used in all mac applications, not only Adobe ones. And remember, if you want this working on Indesign, Photoshop, etc be aware of first switch off the tab features so that the system could “see” multiple documents opened not only one single tabbed document.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

    In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
    Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
    I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
    These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
    System Configuration:
    Flash CC
    Mac OSX 10.8.5

    Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
    fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

  • Keyboard shortcuts for IC webclient CRM5.0

    Hi,
    following the procedure on help.sap, i am trying to active the keyboard shortcuts for IC Webclient screen.
    here are the steps i followed, but i could not see any shortcuts working....
    what am i missing?

    Activate and define shortcuts
    i        Activate shortcuts
    By default, shortcut keys are deactivated. If you want to use shortcuts, you must first activate them by choosing Default Navigation Bar.
    ii        Change shortcuts
    You can define your own shortcut keys by deleting the key that appears in column Shortcut and entering the key of your choice.
    iii        Display shortcuts in application
    If you want the shortcut keys to be displayed in the application, choose Show Keyboard Navigation Shortcuts in Menu.
    what i am looking for is keyboard shortcuts like, F4 or F8 we use in CRM GUI, these will be for use by end users (agents of IC) for creating order entries and other functions....
    Thanks in adv,
    points will be rewarded

    Hello,
    Maybe a silly remark but if you define shortcut "K" for entry X you can use the shortcut by pressing ESC + K. In other words, you should always use the ESC in combination with the choosen shortcut.
    Hope this solves your problem!
    Rewards points if useful,
    Regards,

  • Keyboard shortcut for creating new Desktop

    Switching from primarily using keyboard shortcut navigation on a PC, I've realized that the OS X is missing a keyboard shortcut for creating a new Desktop or Space. You need to use the mouse to do this, either by clicking the Add Desktop icon in the upper right corner of Mission Control, dragging and dropping an open window to the Add Desktop icon, or entering full screen mode. Though it is possible to toggle full screen mode using a keyboard shortcut under Systems Preferences, not all applications can enable full screen.
    Does anyone have a possible solution to this problem?

    Hi- There is no longer a dedicated key on your keyboard to do that. However, follow these steps to make one...
    Click on System Preferences, Keyboard, and then choose Keyboard Shortcuts tab. In the lefthand column, select Expose & Spaces On the right, you will see that Expose has several shortcut key options. Make sure that the checkbox for Desktop is filled in, and double click it, and press the keyboard key you would like to activate it. If I may suggest, F5 or F6 are good choices.
    That is it! You are good to go.
