[js] menuAction corresponding to Cmd-Shift-Click

Hi,
I need to now wich menuAction use to add a "block of text". (my inDesign is in French so it may not be "block of text" but it corresponds to the javascript object TextFrame)
For exemple, to add a page I do this :
app.menuActions.itemByID(24346).invoke();
Which id correspond to the action Cmd-Shift-Click ?

Well,
For now, I'm doing this :
var myNewPage = myDocument.pages.add();            
if (myNewPage.side == PageSideOptions.rightHand) {
     var left = leftPair;
     var right = rightPair;
else {
     var left = leftImpair;
     var right = rightImpair;
// Fait le lien entre les 2 pages (la parécédente et celle venant d'être créée)
var myTextFrameC = myNewPage.textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[top, left, bottom, right]});
myTextFrameC.previousTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item(i-1).textFrames.item(0);
And this for every page :  while(myDocument.pages.lastItem().textFrames.item(0).overflows)
But I need top, left, bottom and right.
With invoke, I won't need all this (which can avoid mistakes).
Also, when we have an overflow, we can "take" it (clicking on the red square) and place it on the next text frame while clicking on shift. It will had all : pages, text frames... as long as we need.
You're telling me I can't do that (this easy) in javascript?
I don't understand this :
(any_master_page_item).override(destinationPage);

  • Cmd + Shift + 4

    Cmd + Shift + 4 is very helpful in some of the things I do but there are a few changes I'd like to make if they are at all possible.
    The first of these is to save out the screen capture with extension visible.
    The second is to access some onscreen way to capture sections with pixel perfect accuracy. I suppose that one way to do so is to have an X, Y, W and H value displayed onscreen during capture. The values displayed at mouse pointer are helpful - perhaps a more accurate way is to incorporate numerical parameters as well?

    when i take screen captures the files have extensions visible. you have to go into the finder prefs>advanced and check off "show all extensions".

    when you hit CmdShift4 the X & Y values are displayed. if you want to capture something more accurate like a window then hit the space bar after you hit CmdShift4 and then click on the window you want captured.

  • ITunes 12 - old style Get Info using Shift-Click not working

    I've become accustomed to using iTunes 12, but because I have for a number of years utilised most of the fields available in the older version Get Info screens (not available by default in iTunes 12) in order to create and manage smart playlists, I have been relying on retaining that access by using <Shift-Click> to bring them up.  Alarmingly today I've attempted to access the old style Get Info screens only to discover that the <Shift-Click> option is seemingly not working!
    As I hadn't heard of a change to this feature, nor can I find anything on the net about it, I am just wondering if anyone else is having this problem, and if so, does anyone know of a workaround?  I keep my versions of iTunes up to date and recently downloaded the latest version (to 12.1.0.71), so perhaps a change was included in that update?
    Without easy access to those fields I may as well give up iTunes and go fly a kite, so any advice will be gratefully received!
    Cheers.

    Access to the "old style" metadata editors has been dropped from iTunes 12.1 - I suspect that it was left in 12.0, with the shift right-click option, only because the new style editors were somewhat unstable/unfinished.  In most cases all the fields that were available pre iTunes 12 are available in 12.1.  Admittedly, the layout is a little counter-intuitive as you may have to scroll up/down, or expand the window by dragging one of its corners, to see everything.  One issue that some have noted is that the available metadata elements are now more constrained based on media kind - for example, track and disc number fields that used to be universally available are no longer displayed or editable for TV Shows and Movies.  There are also some strange inconsistencies - for example, that the Description element for audiobooks is only available for single items but not for groupings of two or more items, including albums.
    For Music it looks like 12.1 has all the same fields available as were in iTunes 11.  For a single song you get this (Details and Sorting tab):
    and for an album (or any selection of two or more songs) the corresponding tabs are:
    Depending on the fields you use for your smart playlists you may find that the editors in iTunes 12.1 will work fine, though it may take a while to get used to the new layout.  If there still is a "back door" to the old style editors in 12.1 I've not seen any reports of what it is!

  • Jumping between apps without cmd shift

    In Tiger, I could work across various apps and in the finder without cmd shifting between apps as long as they were visible in one or the other monitor.
    In Leopard I have to cmd shift or select the gray bar at the top or along the side of an app to use it, not just click on a file or anywhere in the window as per Tiger, very tedious.
    I can't find a preferences menu option for this behavior either. Has this behavior changed between versions?

    Thanks Barney,
    Your mention of which apps has narrowed the problem down... its only Motion that I seem to have the problem with, other apps behave normally but Motion won't 'let go' til I have selected the top or side bar of another app. Many thanks, I think I need to reinstall Motion anyway.

  • Shift-click File Selection Broken

    Hello,
    I know this is a small issue, but it has become an annoyance.
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my shift-click adjacent file selection method has not been fuctioning.  It behaves exactly like the Cmd-click selection method and does not select all intermediate adjacent files.
    Any thoughts?
    2.4GHz Core 2 Duo MBP running OSX 10.8.

    Are you saying that you can not make a range selection by clicking the first item, holding shift and then clicking the last item? Does it work if you click the first item, hold down shift and use the arrow keys to select?

  • Who else does not have cut and paste, or shift click anymore on Lion?

    I can't cut and paste anything, and shift click doesn't work like it normally should. Shift click is acting like command shift insead of selecting everything between. Please, no ******** answers.

    You don't have your numbers lock on or a shift key jammed or something do you? I have been using Lion since it was released and have never had nor seen an issue with the keyboard as yet. That's not to say you are not having one. Is it happening in particular programs? Have you installed any third party programs along the line like TypeIt4Me or such?

  • How do you get to the DOS prompt so that you can type in the info to help get into itunes store???  One post said search cmd, right click, run as administrator but where is the search cmd??

  • How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time? Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the item

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)
    *see also [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]

  • How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift clicking each instance?

    Title says it all!
    How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift+clicking each instance?
    The reason I want to do this is because I have a music video with MANY quick cuts. So clips are cut up and splattered all over the place. I am colour-correcting now and so I want to be able to select one clip everywhere it exists in the timeline so I can drag the effect onto all them at once, without having to find each instance of the clip in the timeline. This "batch select" would make it so I don't miss any instances of the clip and also saves a ton of time going through the timeline and shift clicking each time the clip turns up.
    I hope PP is smart enough to do this
    Thanks in advance!
    -- Tim

    Pick one instance of the clip, maybe even the first bit ... and use the new Master Clip feature ... here's first a written explanation and then a video tutorial on doing this ... it's a great feature.

  • Shift click itunes is not bringing up the box to choose a library

    I have been using multiple itunes libraries for years and I am well aware how to access them and/or create new ones using shift +click itunes.  Recently this stopped working and I can do exactly that 20-25x in a row and MAYBE then I will get the box.  Other than that, itunes just opens up the most recent library used.  I am getting frustrated - I KNOW WHAT TO DO but it isn't working, so I have no idea what is wrong oe how to get it to work normally with just a shift/itunes like I have been doing for years. Eventually it works, but who has time to sit there over and over and over and over and over - closing itunes and trying again and again and again.  Usually I just give up.  Right now it's my library that is stuck coming on, but I have 2 kids who don't want my awesome library on their ipods and I don't want their itunes purchases on mine.  SO between last night and this morning, I must have shift/clicked itunes 50x and still itunes just opens up and doesn't give me the chance to choose what I want to do.  Can someone help me fix this glitch?  I am not about to pay apple for a one time service when it is not my ipod with the problem.

    Hold shift until iTunes opens instead of letting go after you click. Just spent an hour and a half working on this myself, lol.

  • Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) not working in 5.1

    Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) is not working after I upgraded Safari to  5.1

    Has anybody figured a way of restoring this?
    Not broken here, still working fine as always. Have you tried repairing permissions or creating a new user account and seeing if the problem persists there? It's an issue with your install, as a guess. Working fine on all the Mac's around here with Safari 4.04

  • How do I delete a "consecutive group" of emails? Shift click doesn't seem to work.

    upgrades computer to win 7 and from outlook express to thunderbird. 500 emails in inbox. outlook express allowed me to select the first email and then shift click the last email in a group of emails to be deleted all at the same time. thunderbird doesn't seem to allow me to do this. or am I doing something wrong. I don't want to sit for hours deleting 500 emails one at a time.
    thank you

    You're doing something wrong. Thunderbird works the same way.

  • Why would a Shift-Click not open as SO in PS CC?

    I tried for the first time today to open a CR2 file as a smart object in Photoshop CC by the following steps:
    In Bridge use CTRL-R to open the image in Camera Raw 8.3 (pretty sure I got the v# right) and made adjustments.
    Placed mouse on Open and pushed SHIFT key, button changed names
    Click.
    Nothing shows up in Photoshop CC (open at the time) after three tries.
    Roll eyes.
    Open Photoshop CS6
    When CS6 boots all three are sitting there ready to go.
    OK, where is the Pref setting? Tired Bridge, couldn't find it.
    There must be a process to specify a "edit In..." and tie the Open Smart Object to Photoshop CC. Thankfully I can roll forward toward a deadline with PS CS6, stupid me... I had bought that... anyway onwards and upwards. <grin>
    Where is that path specified?

    As I said, I downloaded Bridge CC,and I thought it installed with PS CC. If it did the icon on the flyout doesn't boot it.
    But.
    I *did* expect a SHIFT-CLICK to open the SO. I said that above. I did exactly as you describe back when I was trying to make this work, and it didn't happen.
    I say again:
    Placed mouse on Open and pushed SHIFT key, button changed names to "Open Object"
    Click.
    Nothing showed up in Photoshop CC (open at the time) after three tries. However when I opened PS6 they were waiting for me and opened in that. So it has to be the version of Bridge as a Bridge CS6.
    I am rushing through editing a shoot and have to be out the door early to shoot something else so will get to the install fix later. (Glad to be this busy...)
    Thanks everyone.

  • CMD + Shift constrain drag shortcut buggy in Photoshop CS6 (Mac)

    Since moving to Photoshop CS6 a shortcut I regularly use for switching tool and dragging elements on a page is producing varying results. The CMD + Shift drag is very useful to allow users to drag elements constrained vertically or horizontally on the page. However since CS6 I have noticed it no longer allows me to drag effectively while my cursor is over the elements I want to move. It goes a bit nuts and does different angles instead of the constrain. This problem is intermittent and depending on the elements I am attempting to move will randomly depend on whether it works. This shortcut I have been using for years and has become native to me. So why now is it not working properly ?

    I can reproduce this issue in Bridge CS6. Thanks for reporting!
    Best Regards,
    Bridge QE

  • Shortcut for Google Search (Cmd-Shift-L) Linked to Newsfire

    I recently downloaded the now free RSS reader Newsfire just to try it. I didn't like it that much compared to NetNewsWire, so I trashed it with AppZapper, thus deleting all the files related to Newsfire.
    Now every time I try to use the shortcut for Google Search on a selected piece of text in Safari (Cmd-Shift-L), it tries to link to Newsfire and add a new feed. This is highly annoying and worst of all, I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
    The Newsfire site has nothing on it as far as a forum or an email to Dave Watanbe. I've heard the criticism that he's gotten in the past over the way he handles his business, so I've decided to try to fix the problem through these discussions.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I fixed it myself with the free Onyx program for Mac.
    If you reset the Launch services Database under Maintenance, it fixes this issue.
