Keyboard shortcut and lock panel

Hi,
I have this problem. I use LV8.2.1 win xp
I made a program to test a device. There are some buttons on the front panel, one is "Start", to obv start the test.
Mechanical action is set to "switch when pressed"
The event that handle that has a check on "lock front panel activity until this event completes".
I check this because I don't want user to accidentaly or on purpose click other things that will stay on event's queue, providing some kind of crap behaviour...
BUT
start button control has also a binding to "enter" key, because the test must be done many many times (production line) and it's better than click every time.
The PROBLEM is that hitting keyboard bypass in some way the lock front panel check, so as soon the test finishes, start button results immediately pressed and test starts again....
How can I do to avoid this?
thanks

Attached source + images of front panel/block diagram of the core of my problem.
PROBLEM: hit "return" key during the test makes UNWANTED new tests! even if I check the "lock front panel activity"
CAUSE: Labview event manager queue events, it is asynchronous, it's different behaviour from Microsfot Visual C#.
keyboard action is not front panel activity, so it fires an event, that is queued and executed just after the previous.
The solution I've found doesn't work, so if someone has a workaround...
we can talk about solutions to this problem.
Haven't found anything similar in the forum.
thanks

XFCE sometimes forgets keyboard shortcut and layouts

Hello,
I have been using XFCE since gnome3. However, I have the problem with keyboard applet on my desktop (x86-64). I am using us and cz keyboards and switching with keyboard shortcut "alt+shift". Unfortunatelly, the applet once or twice a week forgets this keyboard shortcut and sometimes, it forgets alternative keyboard layout (cz) too.
Everytime it forgets it, I have to set it up again.
I did not realized, when this problem appears. There is no relationship with restart, running some programs, etc.. It seems, it appears randomly, with no corelation to any operation I make.
There is no problem on the second PC (laptop) with archlinux and xfce (but i686).
I think, this problem appeared when I installed xfce for the first time (6 months ago).
Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

I have config files for some panel plugins saved in a directory I made called "/home/backups" and I have a line in my rc.local that force copies them back to ~/.config/xfce4/panel/
unfortunately, changing owner or read only mode did not help. I will have to do it by your way, but in cron, because it happens during normal work suddenly and I restart the PC once a week.

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.

My keyboard Clicks and Lock click has suddenly disappeared. Help?

I woke up today and my KeyBoard Clicks and Lock sound is GONE on my iphone 5. I checked in setting and everything states it is ON, but the clicks are gone. Help??

try this
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

Keyboard clicks and lock sounds are off even though the settings show them as "on". How can I get them back?

Use the volume buttons on the side of the phone. Personally, I find it's better with those off completely.

CS3 standardizing keyboard shortcuts and other prefs ??

Hello. I have 30+ computers that are running Indesign CS3. Instead of going around to each one and setting all keyboard shortcuts and things like default stroke weight and also prefs. like, Edit > Preferences > Advanced Type and the Small cap setting as well as others. I would like them all to start with my sites default prefs.
Where are these prefs stored. I know the keyboard shortcuts are in the Indesign Shortcut Sets folder, where are all the Edit > Preferences things stored?
If I set one to the way I want it and than copy these files to all computers will this fix my problem?
What are the files, how should I accomplish this?
thanks

Preferences for CS3 are saved in two files in the user profile. The first is InDesign Defaults, under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0 and the second is InDesign Saved Data under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Caches (these are the XP locations. paths are slightly different for Vista) These are hidden files.
The documentation says that it is not recommended to copy these files from one machine to another, and that it is recommended that you script it instead, but I've only found one user who's been able to do that, and since the script was written for a major client he hasn't been willing or able to share it with the world. I've been copying and pasting these files onto multiple machines at my school for years without any trouble, but, if there are differences in configuration from machine to machine you could cause some instabilities. Set a restore point and try it.
Unless you have a system freeze program in place, however, this is largely an exercise in futility. Preferences, as noted, are user-specific and changeable, and get written each time the application closes. The best you'll get is a common starting point.

How do i use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" keyboard shortcut to Lock and Unlock Guides in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello,
I've been trying to lock my guides in Illustrator CS5 with the default keyboard shortcut "Alt+Ctrl+;", but with no result.
When i edit this shortcut via the 'Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts...' menu, and type in the same keystroke combination for that command - so again "Alt+Ctrl+;" for "Lock Guides' - the shortcut changes from "Alt+Ctrl+;" into "Alt+Ctrl+."
This new "Alt+Ctrl+." shortcut is usable. Now the same 3 different keystrokes tabbed at the same time do lock and unlock the guides, but i'm left wondering why it is that i can't use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" combination.
There now also seems to be no way around changing the new combination into the old one again.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance,
Johan

Thanks Jacob. I can't seem to find a solution to my problem within the site you linked, but i'm still happy with it. Seems to be a great resource for answers.

Keyboard Shortcuts Missing / Variables Panel Error

This has been going on for at least a couple of weeks now. I'm currently using CS4, Windoxs XP (SP3) and Firefox. Every time I open the Illustrator program, the following message pops up:
"Error loading plugins. Variables Panel.aip."
So I click OK and the workstation screen opens up. Only problem now is that the keyboard shortcuts for Open, Close, Copy, Paste, etc. are missing and I can't even use the keyboard to zoom up and down on the layer section.
I have read several forums on how to fix the problem short of uninstalling and reinstalling the program. I tried going to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Plug-ins\Extensions
...and removed the "Variables Panel" plugin, then went to CA Technologies and removed, then restored the Win32/FakeAlertYS files.
Opened the program. Not only did it not work, but it crashed in the process!
I then tried updating Firefox to 3.6. That didn't work either.
I'm running out of things to try but I guess my only resolution is to contact the tech support and shell out the 42 dollars in order to get the program working again.

That's what I ended up doing, with some technical help...and now it's
working properly.

Custom keyboard shortcuts and editing multiple layers in Flash CS4

Hi, all -
CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worry about future animations that might be more complex.
Similarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
Any and all help would be appreciated as I muddle through this. Honestly, guys, I WANT to like the new version and there's so many added features, but it's hampering my workflow so bad I want to pummel it with sticks.

Hey there,
I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog. Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for? Just curious in case I can help.
Jen.

Keyboard shortcuts and Word

I am not sure if it is OK to ask this question here, please indulge me if it isn't and tell me where to post.
I use Word 2004 on our G4; Mr H uses it on our MBP. (we have three liscence keys with our edition so all is legal)
Is there a keyboard shortcut to get to the beginning and the end of a document in Work using a keyboard shortcut on the MBP?
On the G4 if we want to move from anyplace in a document to the beginning, I hit command + home and get there; to get to the end hit command + end and get there.
On the MBP this doesn't work - the home and end keys are incorporated into the arrow keys, and the command doesn't work.
Is there another shortcut to make this happen?
Mrs H

The functions printed in small letters on those keys are accessed by the fn key.
The following work on my MBP (albeit using Word 2008, but IIRC the same shortcuts worked in Word 2004):
Jump to start of document = Command-Fn-LeftArrow (aka Command-Home)
Jump to end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)
Likewise,
Jump to start of line = Fn-LeftArrow
Jump to end of line = Fn-RightArrow
Page Up = Fn-UpArrow
Page Down = Fn-DownArrow
In this one (exceedingly rare) instance, Niel is incorrect.

[BUG] Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut and does not have a custom one.

Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut which is `command + shift + [` and does not have a custom one.
I tried "delete" key which is backspace for Windows. It will do delete identical to "delete X" key (which is delete key for Windows).
Sidenote: `command + shift + \` is to go back in views (switch views), not folder structure.

Exactly where do you want to use a GO BACK "shortcut" in Bridge? Maybe I don't even understand what you mean by Go Back. Bridge is only a file browser, nothing more. It doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save files at all.
Are you simply referring to going back to view a folder that you viewed before?
Please don't take this a criticism. As someone who will gladly pay money not to have to learn any shortcuts at all, I'm just puzzled and curious, that's all.

I've used a terminal command to change default send keyboard shortcut and now it doesn't work at all!

My friend provided me with a Terminal command allow me to use Cmd+Enter to send an email (muscle memory from Outlook, hard to forget!)
Command was:
defaults write com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Send" "@\\U21a9"
Did that, and it didn't add the Cmd+Enter instruction but removed the Cmd+Shift+D instruction, so I had NO keyboard shortcut. Then Cmd+Enter started working. For a while. Now I'm back to getting the irritating error bleep sound, and having no functional keyboard shortcut for sending mail.
Does anybody have any advice?

Try
defaults delete com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents
Then, relaunch Mail.

Keyboard clicks and lock sounds have quit

The keyboard clicks and the lock sound have quit working on my phone today. I have rebooted the phone and that didn't fix it. Has this happened to anyone else?

Do you have the ring/silent switch on? See the top left side of your phone. Is the red dot showing?

Keyboard shortcuts and tabs with get info box

I'm having several problems with the new get info box - and regret that I can no longer bring up the old version with the shift/right-click/get-info command.
1) No keyboard shortcut to advance from one track to the next, from inside the Get Info box. This used to be handled with Alt-N or Alt-P for Next and Previous. Now it seems to require mouse click on the error.
2) When tabbing through fields, it skips fields toward the bottom (album artist)
3) For works with the same title (most of my library is classical), I've tended to organize them by adding an extra space at the end of the Album line for the 2nd work with that title, or an extra two spaces for the 3rd work with that same title. This way they sort as distinct albums, since most works have multiple tracks. With the new Get Info, if I enter that extra space on the field in the box, it cuts it off when clicking ok. But if I just F2 the field on itunes list view, I can add it with no problem. This is a pain because I have to do it one track at a time, can't do it for multiple tracks at once.

The functions printed in small letters on those keys are accessed by the fn key.
The following work on my MBP (albeit using Word 2008, but IIRC the same shortcuts worked in Word 2004):
Jump to start of document = Command-Fn-LeftArrow (aka Command-Home)
Jump to end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)
