Keyboard short cut to activate the Apple menu

I recently had a situation when my bluetooth wireless mouse lost it pairing. Fortunately I have a Magic Track pad that was working. I would like to know the keyboard shortcut to activate the Apple menu so if this problem arises again I can, restart, or as I did in this case go to system preferences->bluetooth and delete the mouse and add it back. I have the article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343?viewlocale=en_US, with all the keyboard shortcuts but cannot find one to activate the Apple menu.

Don't know of one that opens the  but you can get there by:
Hit OPT-F2, System Preferences will open to Displays but the cursor will be in the search box. Type bluetooth and hit enter and you'll be in the PreferencePane for Bluetooth.
Should accomplish the same thing.
Regards
Edit: I finally found it. CNTL-FN-F1 to turn on full keyboard access then CNTL-FN-F2 will highlight , then down arrow.

  • Keyboard short cuts show in the time line

    How do I make keyboard shortcuts to show in the bar on the timeline. Once I saw it done. I can't find it.
    For example if I do multiclip edit the shortcuts should appear right there, instead of me looking at PDF document to find the shortcuts.
    Thanks,

    Right click on that little grey strip next to the buttons and choose show keyboard layout or show button list. Then drag your shortcut next to the other buttons (snapping and linking by default)

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

  • Keyboard short cut problems

    I updated my Mac and everything was fine until i had to restart it. My Photoshop's keyboard short cut became all random like this:
    I tried restarting my computer again but it has not changes. The most weird part is that when i tried to change the short-cuts, it won't work even though i clicked on accept and "ok". Is there a way i can turn this back? It wasn't like this when i first got this back at November.

    quote from:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23471905#23471905
    1) While in Photoshop, go to 'Keyboard Shortcuts' under the 'Edit' menu in the Mac's menu bar. The 'Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus' panel opens.
    2) With the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' tab selected (as opposed to 'Menus'), double-click 'File' (has a triangle next to it) under the 'Application Menu Command' and select/highlight the 'Open...' command.
    3) Without editing the key shortcut in any way, click the 'Accept' button to the right. Then 'Okay' to close the panel. This successfully reinstates the 'Open' keyboard shortcut.
    4) At this point, you're probably thinking, 'My god, I'm going to have to repeat this process for every single keyboard shortcut...'. But no, simply 'accepting' the 'Open' command appears to successfully reinstate every other keyboard shortcut too!

  • Keyboard short-cut for Restart and Shutdown?

    Since recent keyboards and Mac OS X doesnt have keyboard short-cuts for Shutdown and Restart, is it possible to create new ones for these functions?
    Also, why doesnt Mac OS X have these anymore (such as when it had the keyboard with that button you hit to bring up dialog box to shutdown, restart, etc).. that's what I'm looking for...
    As for the reason I want this.. sometimes my display goes blank and I can't see anything and hence since you cant see the screen to mouse over to restart, etc... if I could hit a keyboard combo to bring up the restart dialog box and I then hit Enter, it would execute that action...

    The Shutdown and Restart shortcuts are here

  • Keyboard Shorts for Photoshop (on the MacIntosh)

    Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop for the Mac. In the FAQ there was a pointer to a list of short cuts for Photoshop CS2--but the link does not work.
    I know I can export a list of keyboard short cuts from the Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts menu.
    What I really want to find are those command key sets that are:
    not listed in the keyboard short cuts in photoshop
    do not appear in the pull down menus
    do not appeal in the context sensitive menu when you do a right click.
    Two examples of the kind of key combination I am looking for: (From working in Kelby's Seven Point System)
    cmd/opt/E --> creates a new layer from the selected layers
    cmd/shift/opt/E --> creates a new layer from the visible layers
    (It looks like the opt key modifies visible commands to make them also create a new layer--where am I to find this stuff?)
    I assume there are tons of such "hidden" key combinations. And I do assume that there is some obvious place to find them, but I have not been able to find that place.
    thanks for the help.

  • Keyboard short cuts functionality problems in MSS

    Hi,
    We have discovered that the keyboard short cuts does not function in the Portal (Manager Self Service) when setting up SAP R/3 transactions Iviews. I.e. in R/3 its possible to use "Ctrlshiftarrow-down" to select multiple entries in an table (program: approval of time recordings in cats). After having implemented the transaction iview we don't have this functionality anymore. Does anyone know what functions?
    Regards Jeppe Jensen

    Just to clarify - you want keyboard shortcuts to the menu?
    If so, I'm assuming you have JMenus containing JMenuItems - using the method
    JMenuItem.setMnemonic(char c);will enable a shortcut.
    Example:
    JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("this is a menu item");
    menuItem.setMnemonic('t');This will set the shortcut to be 't'.

  • Keyboard short cut not working in iOS 6 on iPhone

    I just tried adding a new keyboard short cut on my iPhone 4S with iOS 6 and the short cut will not stay on the phone.  I can enter it and it is added to the list of short cuts until I go back one screen, then the shor cut disappears.  This worked fine under iOS 5 and still works fine on my iOS5 iPod Touch.  Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks
    Fred

    I have an iPhone 4 with current iOS.
    I've noticed this over the past few months. I always notice it on the FB app. My short cuts stop working. I will check email or note. I figured restarting the phone would fix it.
    Here's the thing. Obviously I use FB a lot, but this short cut issues never happens in text messages, Whatsapp, or email. Always with FB.
    In fact I noticed that I get sluggish typing performance typing using the FB app whether I use the keyboard short cuts or not.
    Just wondering if this common among iPhone 4 users.

    You can install it on your iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) either by redownloading it directly on the device via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, or by connecting the device to your computer's iTunes and syncing it to it.
    Syncing apps from a Mac : iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    from a PC : iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
    As to how to then use the app, if the description on the app's description page in the store doesn't describe how to use it in enough detail, then is there a link to the developer's website on its description page, and does that have details ?
