Keyboard shortcut for adding link in Mail

How would I add a keyboard shortcut using the "Keyboard" preference pane to add a link in Mail? I use that menu item a lot.
EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out. For nested items like "Link>Add" you just choose the second command, in this case "Add...". But you have to type Option+semicolon instead of three periods.

Just looking for the keyboard shortcut for adding keyframes
There isn't one. You click the Add/Remove Keyframe button in the Effects Controls panel after enabling keyframing with the stopwatch button. You'll find much more here: Adding, navigating, and setting keyframes
rendering needs to stop itself when it's finished to automatically play the sequence from it's very beginning
Edit > Preferences > General > uncheck "Play work area after rendering previews"

Keyboard shortcut for sending messages on Mail suddenly stops working

I've created a keyboard shortcut (Command + Return) specifically for sending manssages on Mail. When I open Mail, this keyboard shortcut works perfectly but suddenly it stops working.
If I close and reopen Mail, the keyboard shortcut starts to work again, but for a while.
I'm using OS X 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).

Give this a try if you haven't already.
System Preferences
Keyboard
Shortcuts
At the bottom of the left panel go to:
App Shortcuts
If Mail.app isn't there, add it.
Under it add Send.
Now choose your key combo i.e.
⌘↵
Worked for me mail Version 7.1 (1827) running OS X 10.9.1.

Keyboard Shortcut for adding clip to queue when importing from P2 card

Does anyone know what the keyboard shortcut is for adding a clip to the queue when importing from a P2 card? Thanks!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

That would be the Log Clip button which is defaulted to F2.

I am a disabled user and I need keyboard shortcuts to program the software. Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut for 'Save link as' ? Very grateful for your help. Thanks. :)

I am using Windows 7 ultimate and Firefox 4. I tried Alt + enter which does not work.

There is no shortcut key for such context menu items. 
You can use the context menu key on the keyboard to open the right-click context menu on a link and press 'k' for the "Save Link As" item. 
You need to press the tab key until you arrive at that link.
You can set the pref browser.display.focus_ring_width to a higher value (I use 3) to make it easier to see which link has focus.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Mail won't stick

Hi. I've created a keyboard shortcut for Mail--Command-K to Get All New Mail--and changed the conflicting command (Command-K normally will Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts). It worked well when I set it up, but only once. As soon as I quit out, my Keyboard Shortcut for Get All New Mail disappeared. Meanwhile, my new keyboard shortcut for Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts still works.
And there's more: if I reset the "Command-K to Get All New Mail" shortcut, it will work only until I quit. And that's the case with no matter what shortcut I set up for "Get All New Mail." What gives? Any suggestions?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a reply to this, since this discussion board is one of the best around. Is there a more appropriate board in this forum for me to you post this?
Thx!

Keyboard Shortcut for comments

I have a question and something to share.
Turns out it's pretty easy to add a keyboard shortcut for
adding ColdFusion comments (mostly so that you don't have to click
on the comment dropdown and select the ColdFusion one, that's 2
clicks). You can add a keyboard shortcut to that Insert Comment
command. But by default it inserts HTML comments. So if you want it
to do something different you can modify this file: C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
CS4\configuration\Objects\Text\Comment.js
The bad news is, I can't find a way to add a shortcut to
Remove Comment. Does anyone know how to do that?

Jon
Not that I know of but you can make your own keyboard shortcuts for anything that is in a menu somewhere:
+System Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Keyboard Shortcuts > All Applications > click the little plus sign under the window > Application: > Other > browse to Applications/iWork/Pages > Menu Title > Show Comments (type exactly including U&lc) > hit cmd shift c (or whatever you want)+
Since the shortcut works on the literal text, it will not toggle on and off. You will have to have another shortcut for +Hide Comments.+

Keyboard shortcut for ADD / REMOVE KEYFRAME?

Mm. Can't seem to find this one in the list under Help menu, and no clue bubble when you just mouse-over either. Maybe I'm just missing it.
What's the keyboard shortcut for adding / removing a keyframe?

Unfortunately there is no generic shortcut for this. There are some pre-defined entries in the shortcuts file, but only for select properties like position and scale. They are inert, though, and have no shortcuts assigned to them. A generalized approach would probably work by creating a script based on the menu item ID of "Add Keyframe" and instead assigning that script to one of the 20 reserved shortcuts for script execution. Something like app.executeMenuItem(3434) or so....

Shortcut for adding pictures to an album

I need to add tons of pictures to an album for a big project. I know how to add pictures to the album using drag+drop. However I'm on a powerbook laptop and i'm not yet very fast with the whole drag-drop on the track-pad, especially to drag tons of pictures across the entire screen.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for adding selected pictures to an album faster?
Thank you.

Another way is to create a smart album with the criteria Keyword is XXXXX. Then type Command+K to bring up the Keyword pane, create a special keyword, click on a photo click on the keyword in the pane, click on another photo, apply the keyword and continue.
Then you can either use the smart album or select the photos in the smart album and drag them to the one you want to use.

Keyboard shortcut for Compare Documents (or configurable keyboard shortcuts)

Hi,
I'm guessing the ability to configure Keyboard Shortcuts as one can in other Adobe applications is coming soon to Acrobat (the software release cycles haven't quite synched up yet), but if there are no plans for this, I would appreciate a Keyboard Shortcut for a function I use very frequently: Compare Documents.
Thanks much,
Adam

If you go to system prefs - keyboard & mouse - keyboard shortcuts you can set a shortcut for anything that is in the mail menus.
click the + at bottom left to add one, select mail from the applications drop down, then type in the exact name of the mail menu item you want a shortcut for eg :Add Hyperlink . Then find a shortcut combo that isn't in use by something else & there you are.
I prefer the edit link, so's you get a neat link, rather than the (sometimes) 3 line url.

we've noticed that mail doesn't send rtf that outlook on an exchange server likes
unless you not only enable rtf, but also actually make some alteration that really requires rtf. That's to say a different font,a larger font, italics, a signature in italics, a colour etc.
The fact that your composed message displays in arial 48pt (for example) doesn't cut it - it'll still be sent as plain unless you do one of the above. Making a change & reversing it works too.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to Insert Link?

So some options like Bold, Underline, Italics have keyboard shortcuts.
Has any one figured out a keyboard shortcut to Insert Link? What about Insert Photo?
What about a keyboard shortcut for pasting the text in the clipboard in as plain text?

Couple of ways to do that.
Great. I'll give it a shot...
1) Use the Quote icon to quote and requote the message being replied to, then delete all the stuff not wanted for each instance. That's too tedious for me.
Agreed.
2) Copy and Paste the selected parts of the message being replied to. Once one part is pasted in, select it again in the compose box and click the Quote icon. Repeat as needed. When you select text in a compose box and click the Quote thingie, instead of quoting the previous message it will set off the selected text in quoted style.
So that's the secret. Thanks!
I use the second method, but with a variant. If I know I'm going to be chopping up the replied to message like that, I just copy/paste the whole thing into the compose box. Then I break it up, adding a response to one section before moving down and adding a response to the next section. The last thing I do before posting is to select each of the pasted parts and click the Quote thingie.
The reason I wait until the end to set them off in quoted style is that although you can undo the quoted format, it's not convenient to do so. I find it easier to get all my tweaking done first.
Makes sense, as long as you don't inadvertently apply the quote thingie to your own response, but I guess that can be fixed.

How do I setup a keyboard shortcut for an item in the Services menu?

In every Application, under the application menu is a "Services" folder. I would like to be able to setup a keyboard shortcut for one of these services (namely Skype).
I am a heavy user of the "Services > Skype > Call" command and I would love to have a keyboard shortcut for it.
I went to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, clicked on the plus sign to create a new shortcut (all applications) and entered "Services…Skype…Call" and assigned it to a keyboard command (shift-F1).
It doesn't work. Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?

Hi
Also - have a look at the reply I gave at the link below (sorry - don't know how to insert proper links here).
May be of interest, maybe not.
Best,

Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
System Configuration:
Flash CC
Mac OSX 10.8.5

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

What is the keyboard shortcut for scrolling page down? In Pages, Safari, etc... Just a single page/ screen view, not all the way to the bottom. Thank you.

Trying to navigate the screen without my mousepad. I have carpal tunnel and early stage arthritis and cannot repeatedly make the appropriate motions to scroll with two fingers. Is there a keyboard shortcut for scrolling up and down line by line or page by page?
Thank you.

Yeah. sorry. those are not correct. ctrl N + P are for home and end line shortcuts. Ctrl V does go down one line. But CTRL arrow up or down do not work in Safari. But thank you very much for the attention and the time...
Note from my first post above -- I did not say to use CTRL arrow in Safari:
For Safari:
Scroll down a line: down arrow
Scroll down a screen: option down arrow
Note from my second post above and from the first link I gave that Control N, P, and V worked for me in Pages as described in the link and in my post:
The link to shortcuts that I gave abaove includes Control N, P, and V for move down a line, up a line and down a page and those seem to work in Pages.
