Is There a Shortcut Key for Change/Find ?

Hello and thanks in advance,
Using the InDesign CS-5 Find/Change feature, I am always using the Change/Find button.
*** Is there a way to create a shortcut key for this option, Change/Find ? ***
Since I use it so often, it would be good if it could be one of the "F" keys: F1, F2 or whatever.
I looked under "Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts" ... but I could not find the option Change/Find there. Did I miss it ?
Thanks again,
Zorba

Here is what I have now done, based on the suggestions above:
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/robinwhitman/tech_support/id-edit-keyboard-shortcut s.jpg
As you can see from the screen shot above,
I have opened up the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu,
Product Area: Text and Tables
In the Commands window I have selected:
=====================
Grep Replace wth Change to text and Find next
==============
Now at this point, suppose I want to make the shortcut to activate this, the F4 key.
I click to put the cursor into the cursor into the box that says, New Shortcut
and then if I press "F4", it seems to be already taken by the Snow Leopard OS ... on my screen appears the Weather, calculator, calendar and clock.
So I cannot assign the key and create the shortcut.
Am I close to the goal here, or am I on the wrong track ?
Thanks ... Zorba

Non numeric keyboard - I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth

I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth - like Page Up, Page Down etc, but the new Apple wireless keyboard hasn't got the numeric keypad.
Are there alternative shortcut keys for Page Up/Down? Or can I programme any of the Function keys to do that instead?

You can create custom shortcuts pretty easily. Here is an article that explains how to do it:

Got the "apple firewire ntsc" choice to show up even if grayed out and "missing" under "audio/visual" menus by recreating choices in Easy Setup under "final cut pro" MENU thank GOODNESS because I was reading horror stories on here about this under another thread with someone trashing preferences, reinstalling and the works and still not getting it to show up...on my search now for an analog/digital converter up at b&h...find it odd that the s video connector wouldn't show the crt monitor when I put both displays through the 3870...I switched it back to see if it worked again when only the one dell monitor display was there and there it is again mirroring the screen display on my desktop...just can't be seen as an "external monitor" in fcp...couldn't find anything specific in the shane ross threads to this. I'm sad the program doesn't just see the s video connection though the 3870 though my computer does fine and will query up at b&h in regard to what might be affordable as far as a digital/analog converter. It's also weird in itself that when I put the two dell monitors on the one card my computer no longer could see the s video crt connection...makes no sense. Will report in later as to what I discover up at b&h as I'm sure there's a world of people out there using this sony crt monitor still even into the upgrades with computers and software so I imagine therein lies the solution. Thanks again and I'll report in as to what hardware might be suggested for me.

Robohelp Shortcut keys for styles

RH8 HTML
Just wondering if theres a way to set shortcut keys for styles, similar to how you can do it in MS Word.
Just makes formatting etc so much faster, instead of having to use the mouse and click around.
I see I can set shortcuts to do other RH functions, like create new topics etc....but nothing for text formatting.
Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick
RoboHelp has always offered the following:
Ctrl+Alt+1 Applies Heading 1
Ctrl+Alt+2 Applies Heading 2
Ctrl+Alt+3 Applies Heading 3
Ctrl+Shift+N Applies Normal
Aside from that, perhaps use something like Macro Express to create a macro you could use.

IMovie: is there a shortcut key to zoom timeline in and out?

iMovie: is there a shortcut key to zoom timeline in and out? I'm on imovie 11 version 9.0.4
posted: Tuesday October 30, 2012

The normal way to zoom in and out would be to use the thumbnail slider. I am not aware of any keyboard shortcut for this.
Here is a list of the keyboard shortcuts for iMovie.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ae8c33b
Interestingly, in Final Cut Pro, there is a keyboard shortcut for zooming the timeline. For example, Shift-Z will scale the project to fit the timeline, and command+ and command- will zoom.

V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad?

V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad? Not a solid typist and i continually hit the pad which messes up my typing. Would like to shut it off but be able to turn back on quickly. Thanks!!

I had this same problem and the F6 function key did not work. I also could not manually disable the touchpad via Device Manager. I reinstalled the touchpad driver and am now able to use F6 to disable, though I still cannot via Device Manager. I installed the Synaptics PS/2 driver for Lenovo V570c onto my V570 and it works.

Disable shortcut keys for Universal Access

At our school we have a bit of an issue with students using keyboard shortcuts to set the Universal Access options (usually to Black on White, but also Zoom and VoiceOver), which freaks out the next student using the computer. I'd like to disable the shortcut keys for those settings. Are there ARD Unix commands that would do it?

Hello Francois,
Thank you for your fast reply!
I tried your recommendation, but got the following result:
When I have a label of "& OK" with the blank symbol as ALT-255, the Button in the Alert Box still has the focus. It seems as if there now is a blank in front of the OK (which is underlined). This does not really solve my issue, because the Button still has the focus and that should not be. The best solution for the user would be if he only could accept the message with a mouse klick.
Is there an other suggestion?
Thank you so much!

To capture the entire screen to an image, use the key combination ⌘ shift 3.
To capture a selection rectangle, ⌘ shift 4.
To capture the frontmost window, ⌘ shift 4 and then press the space bar.
The screen grab will appear on your Desktop. Open it in Preview or your favourite image editing software, and print in the usual manner.

How to set Shortcut keys for button in Apex

Hi
Could anyone help me on how to set shortcut keys for buttons in Apex.
I need to use say ALT + S to submit the page.
The following thread pertaining to HTML DB refered to use ACCESS key. but that couldnt work in my case.
Re: operation of the app. with the keyboard
Any pointers on achieving this would be helpful.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I’m afraid you must do it using javascript key listener. You can’t use action() on template based buttons because they are actually not HTML buttons but images with hyperlink.
Key listener checks which key has been pressed down and invoke some JS function. For example, write this code in page header:
<script>
document.onkeydown=keyCheck;
function keyCheck(e){
     var KeyId = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
     switch(KeyId){
          case 113:
               doSubmit('SAVE');
               break;
          case 118:
               alert('Hello');
               break;
</script>
This script will submit page with request 'SAVE' if you press F2 or will show alert message if you press F7. Modify it to your issue.
Regards,
Przemek
