Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut to relink images in Illustrator CS5?

I know you can in InDesign but doesn't look like it in Illustrator. Anyone know for sure?
Thank you!!

Here you go, this script relinks all selected images to the same image, but it works as well for one image.
#target Illustrator
// script.name = relinkAllSelected.jsx;
// script.description = relinks all selected placed images at once;
// script.required = select at least one linked image before running;
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/12/11;
// script.elegant = false;
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
sel = idoc.selection;
if (sel.length>0)
          var file = File.openDialog ("open file");
          for (i=0 ; i<sel.length ; i++ )
                   if (sel[i].typename == "PlacedItem")
                            var iplaced = sel[i];
                            iplaced.file = file;
else
          alert("select at least one placed item before running");

  • Is there a way to move my keyboard shortcuts and preferences from CS3 to CS5?

    I just loaded CS5 and I'm starting to work with it. Big difference from CS3 and I'm finding things don't work the same at all. Anything i can do to make this seem more familiar, like using the same keyboard shortcuts and workspaces?

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • Any way to create a keyboard shortcut for keywords in Bridge CC?

    Just curious if there's any way to create a keyboard shortcut for "new keyword" and "new sub keyword" in Bridge CC?
    If not, that would be a welcome addition in any future Bridge update - being able to customize keyboard shortcuts or add your own the way you can in Premiere Pro CC.

    Steve,
    Not, as far as I know, directly, but the problem is with Aperture, not Keyboard Maestro.  Aperture has no command (afaik) for selecting the caption field of the Info Inspector.  Without a command, you will have to find another way to access it, or another way to accomplish what you want.
    You can specify the spot clicked by screen coordinates, so you cold use the Inspector HUD and the coordinates of the Caption field, as long as the Inspector HUD always pops up in the same location.
    Many dialog boxes allow the user to advance through the fields with the Tab key.  Unfortunately, the number of times you have to type "{Tab}" in order to get to a particular field depends on other interface elements (if the Control Bar is showing, add 2).  I don't know of a way to determine if the Control Bar is showing.
    You might find a work-around using a Metadata Preset and the Batch Change command.  Keyboard Maestro can easily pop up a dialog with a text field in which you can type what you want to go into Aperture's Caption field.
    The best thing to do is download the trial version and see if it meets your needs.  Keyboard Maestro is adept at creating macros based on keyboard input.  If the program does not provide keyboard equivalents, writing an effective macro becomes difficult.

    The author provides exemplary documentation:
    http://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/About_Keyboard_Maestro
    Lastly, for the use you cite, I simply show the Inspector if it's not showing (by typing "i"), change to the Info tab if it is not currently activated (by clicking, but note that opening the Inspector with the Info tab selected can be done with one command "View➞Inspector➞Info"), and then clicking in the Caption field, which is part of all of the Metadata Views I regularly use.
    HTH.  Perhaps one of our programming mavens will suggest something better.

  • Is there a way to create a custom shortcut key to paste my email address?  I would like to be able to press a key combination that will paste whatever I set it to, i.e. my email address.

    There are multiple ways to do similar things. One, built into the system, is to use text replacement. See:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/31/mac-101-making-text-replacement-work/
    There are other programs you can buy that can do the job in different ways, such as TextExpander. You could also just create a clipping file by dragging your e-mail address to somewhere like the desktop, and then you can simply drag that file to wherever you like to insert your e-mail address there.

  • Is there a way to share IOS keyboard shortcuts between devices?

    Is there a way to share IOS keyboard shortcuts between devices? Although I use Text Expander on Lion and it is great, I think it would be very useful if Apple allowed syncing of keyboard shortcuts between the Mac and IOS devices via iCloud. It would be great to set these up on the Mac and have them available on both my iPad and iPhone.

    Now built directly into the iOS:

  • Is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

    is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

    Keyboard Shortcuts are created in the System Preferences app, Hardware section, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
    Select Application Shortcuts on the left.
    Click the "+" sign on the right and in the dialog box that pops up, enter: "Export..." and your preferred key combination. Here's an example:
    Keep in mind that when you enter the name of the action in a layered menu, such as File > Export..., or Share > Export..., you are only going to enter the last menu choice, not the higher levels.

  • Is there a way to create a folder shortcut?

    I just got an E5 and it's my first "smartphone". I was wondering if there was a way to create shortcut of a folder on the active standby screen? I created an 'apps folder' and it has all the apps I usually use, but I want the folder to be a shortcut on the active standby mode so I don't have to go to menu everytime. Is this possible?

    Hi oofie
    As i know that is not possible to do a shortcut to a folder but you can do the following:
    - make shortcut to important applications to your standby
    - move the "apps folder " you created to the middle of the phone Menu so it will be just 2 steps to get in it
    I hope that helps , and please let me know

  • Is there a way to create a shortcut for the 'copy unique selector' tool in Web Developer?

    Currently the only way to copy a unique selector is to either double click in the inspector tool, or access the popup bubble and click 'copy unique selector'. Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut for that process?

  • How do I create a Keyboard Shortcut in Mail 3.1?

    I use a CRM software call Daylite that has a plug-in (DMI) for Mail so they can transfer information between the two programs.
    In order to connect to the program you must go to "File>Connect to Daylite" in Mail. The problem is there's no keyboard shortcut to make this connection.
    Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut in Mail to achieve this?
    Any assistance would be great.

    Hey, If this helps... <post edited by Host>
    Go to System Preferences > Mouse & Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
    Scroll all the way down in the list - you should see some thing like "Application Keyboard Shortcuts" and a submenu of "All Applications"
    Right beneath that, there is a plus button to add a keyboard shortcut, Click That Button
    Select Mail from the application menu
    Menu Title "Connect To Daylite" - make sure it's typed EXACTLY as it shows up in the menu, even punctuation...
    Enter your shortcut and press the "add" button

  • Is there a way to create a tab on the iPhone keyboard?

    The one thing that I can't figure out how to do on an in-screen keyboard is the "tab" key.  When taking notes on my ipad and iphone, I like to indent to indicate new thoughts.  On an external keyboard, the key is available but is sorely missing on screen.  Is there a way to create a "tab"?

    The iPhoto for iOS seems to be aimed at working on photos then sharing them to social media sites or to iCloud for sharing there. iPhoto for iOS does not perform many of the organizing tasks that iPhoto on your Mac does. Many people expected that there would be more capabilities in iPhoto for iOS that would allow it to work more closely with iPhoto on your computer but this is not the case. They are separate apps.

  • I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    Thanks for replying (thorvsphoenix)
    The windex was sprayed on the cloth, not the keyboard. And only one or two pumps on a hand towel. No liquid seeped between the keys the towel was barely damp. You are saying the ammonia gas created the problem?
    I think It was more an issue of multiple keys being depressed at the same time that screwed up the configuration. That is why I need to "reboot" the keyboard.

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
