Keyboard shortcut for filling the window?

A couple years ago I was routinely using a certain key combo which would instantly expand a PDF's pages to fill the window (rather than having to click the button in the GUI).  But I've forgotten how to do it.  I've searched the "keyboard shortcuts" list - in the Adobe Reader Help - but no sign of any such shortcut.  I'm currently using Adobe Reader 9.4.7.
Anyone know?  Thanks.

Yeah, that's a good one for maximizing the whole application window.  Problem is, it doesn't also stretch the document you're viewing - it leaves the document's zoom level unaffected (unless you've first used your mouse to click the "fill the window" button next to the zoom percentage field, which is what I'm trying to avoid having to do each time I call up a PDF).  What I remember was a keyboard shortcut to just make the document fill the app window - without also maximizing the app window to full screen.
The good news is, I just stumbled onto the answer a few minutes ago myself, by trying different key combinations.  Turns out, it's Ctrl-3.  If a PDF's zoom level is currently set at, say, 50%, you can hit Ctrl-3 and the document will stretch to whatever zoom percentage will fill the app window's current size.  If your Reader window is maximized and you hit Ctrl-3, your current 50% document might jump to something like 142%, whereas if the window is un-maximized, say, to about half your total screen area, the doc may only need to jump to 70.4% to fill that smaller window.
Well well.  Happy joy!!
Thanks for the reply.

  • Keyboard shortcut for filling layer with color are opposite on my PS CS6 OSX install, Help?

    Hello all,
    I'm a bit of a noob, and following a tutorial….and found something strange and wonder if you might help me figure what's happening.
    I have Photoshop Extended CS6 on a macbook pro (late 2011).
    I'm running OSX v 10.7.5
    I'm following along and the instructor added a new layer. I did this.
    He then filled the layer with white which is his background color (he has black foreground, white background). I have the same fore/background colors.
    Now, I thought on mac that to fill with foreground color you hit Apple+Delete  and to fill with background you hit Option+Delete
    It is doing the exact OPPOSITE for me. I hit Apple+Delete (or even backspace)  and it fills with my background color which is white
    If I hit Option+Delete (or backspace) it fills with my foreground color.
    I've tried looking in the Edit Keyboard shortcuts area…but I don't see these settings anywhere.
    I do have an external keyboard  hooked to my mac. It is a 3rd party one, but seems to work in ever other way normally.
    Keyboard here is:  http://pckeyboard.com/page/UKBD/UB40P4A
    Any suggestions why my keyboard shortcut for filling a layer with color might be reversed?
    Thanks in advance,

    a 1 second google search would have informed you of this.
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did do a Google and I got this:
    http://blog.coghillcartooning.com/84/tip-keyboard-shortcut-to-fill-a-photoshop-layer-or-se lection-with-the-background-or-foreground-color/
    And from that I got the option-delete was background, and apple-delete was foreground.
    Hence my confusion...
    Thanks for the reply, I guess I should check 2-3 sites each time I google for keyboard shortcuts for PS.

  • In Safari is there a Keyboard shortcut for Merge All Windows?

    Majority of sites sill open new pages in new windows, not new tabs. So, I keep using the Merge All Windows feature all the time. Please, provide a keyboard shortcut for this!

    Although there is no default keyboard shortcut for the menu item in question, there is nothing preventing you from creating your own.
    Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, press the "+" sign. From the Application drop-down menu, choose Safari. In the Menu Title field enter "Merge All Windows" -- without the quotes. In the Keyboard Shortcut field, enter your desired key combo and then click the Add button.
    You'll need to quit System Preferences and restart Safari for the change to take effect. Good luck.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut for Opening the Channels Panel?

    I've googled, searched discussions, and tried recording actions but haven't found the solution.
    What I'd like is a simple keyboard shortcut to open the Channels panel.
    That's it.
    I can create and run actions that create, delete, or move channels; use the menu or channels tab to open it -- but I can't seem to find a way to use a keystroke combination to open the channels panel like you can do for the layers (F7) or actions (F9) panels.
    Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks!
    -Bonnie

    Thank you!
    Sometimes things are just simply right in front of you without being seen.
    The solution was spot on. I'd somehow not 'seen' the "Application Menu" drop-down in the keyboard shortcuts dialog box.
    Now back to post-processing!
    Thanks again.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to make the window smaller

    Is there a keyboard shortcut that does the action of the box with arrows button on the top right corner of the screen? I don't want to use the yellow minimize button, I just want to make the application go from fullscreen to partial screen more quickly! Thank you!

  • What is the keyboard shortcut for emptying the trash? I've tried "command-click on the trash folder", but nothing happens.

    I've looked at the articles on keyboard/mouse click shortcuts; and the only reference I saw for emptying the trash said that right clicking on the trash folder would bring up a menu of options and that one of these would be to empty the trash.
    Not the case.
    I'm using Thunderbird 24.3.0 on an mac running OS 10.9.2 . When I use the mac version of right click (that is -- control click) I get the following menu options: Open in New tab * Open in New Window * Rename * Favorite Folder * Properties
    Empty the trash is not among the options. Since this is such a fundamental operation, I would think a keyboard or mouse-click shortcut would be obvious. What am I missing?
    I should add that we manage several email accounts and that they all use "Trash on Local Folders".

    Thank you for the reply. Sadly, it didn't work.
    On a mac, alt and option share the same key. I tried using option/alt in combination with command, control and shift (+f) -- but none worked. None of these combinations did anything at all. Is that a clue? Could a plugin be causing the problem? In search of a resolution, I deactivated most of my Plugins. Those left are:
    * Adobe Acrobat NPAPi Plug-in
    * AdobeExManDetect 1.1.0
    * Flip4Mac Windows Media Plugin
    * Jave Applet Plug-in Java 7 Update 51
    * QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3
    * Sharepoint Browser Plug-in 14.3.1.
    * Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70
    Don't know what they do exactly. I have no extensions.
    Does this help?

  • Keyboard shortcut for using the color picker in another application

    Hi, I'm new here. My first post.
    I remember there were a keyboard shortcut in Ps for using the color picker in another application. For example picking a color in a web browser. I just don't remember the keyboard shortcut. Anyone know it?
    Regards,
    Leif

    Thanks! This was the method I was looking for. Unfortunately it doesn't work when I drag the eyedropper to a browser window on a secondary monitor. Maybe it has to do with my setup, Mac/Mavericks and Ps CC 2014. Anyway thanks for your help, you gave me the answer I was looking for.

  • Keyboard shortcut for opening the spelling suggestions menu?

    On windows one can use the keyboard button for a right-click in order to open the spelling pop up menu in programs such as Word.
    Is there any similar way to open the spelling suggestions for the global OS X spell checking via the keyboard?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You posted this a few months ago so may already have found the answer. If you press command shift ; all spelling suggestions will come up for you.

  • Is there a PC-Style Keyboard Shortcut for Opening the CD ROM Draw?

    Hello
    I was trying to use a USB PC-Syle keyboard with my G3 Blue & White, and was wondering if there was a Keyboard Shortcut on the keys to open the CD ROM draw?
    It apparently won't open manually .... and of course if it were an Apple Keyboard, then it would naturally have a key for that function.
    Thank you
    Mike

    Hi, Mike -
    OS 9 does not have such a key, per se (I think F12 works only in OSX). The button on the front of the drive should work whenever the tray is empty; if there is a disk in the drive, either drag the disk to the Trash or select it and use Command-Y (Put Away in the File menu).
    You can add a hot-key fairly easily.
    • One way is to locate the Eject Extras folder which may be on the hard drive somewhere; if not, you can download it from here -
    Eject Extras
    You can use the Eject applet contained in that folder by assigning it to one of the FKeys via the FKey page inn the Keyboard control panel.
    The downside of this is that it will control only the built-in optical drive.
    • You can also use a utility such as EjectDisk, which allows for the setting of individual keyboard key-combos for each removable-media drive.

  • Numbers - keyboard shortcut for fill cell colour?

    Hi there,
    just as the title says, speed up workflow by a shortcut just to fill a cell with a certain colour?

    This is not a feature of Numbers.  I would probably set the color in a cell of a dummy table, then copy and paste as needed.

  • Change keyboard shortcuts for zoom

    Hi
    When looking at the keyboard shortcuts for MAC, the 100% zoom is down as command alt '0', yet it is showing in the dropdown list as 'n'?
    Is there a way of changing the shortcuts. Previously the 100% zoom was simply command (apple) '0', which is now fit to page.
    Can anyone help with how to change the short cuts please?
    Cheers

    There was a change to a bizarre shortcut of Fn+n for 'View > 100%' (equivalent to the previous 'View > Actual Pixels' which had shortcut Cmd+1) when Retina compatibility was introduced a few months ago.

  • Keyboard shortcut for context menu

    Hello all. I recently got a MacBook and it's the first Mac I've ever had. I'm a keyboard shortcut guy when I can be and one thing that's stumped me is using the keyboard to open up the context menu.
    Does anybody know a keyboard shortcut for opening the context menu (ie Ctrl + mouse Click)?
    If there isn't one, I would be happy to add a custom keyboard shortcut for it in the System Preferences. I've tried to do so but I'm doing something wrong because it isn't working. Here's what I've tried specifically:
    1. For "All Applications" add Ctrl+Space for the Menu Title "Show Context Menu"
    2. For "All Applications" add Ctrl+Space for the Menu Title "Open Context Menu"
    Does anybody know the exact Menu Title for the context menu?
    Help is much appreciated!

    The Keyboard Shortcuts are for menu items, not macro creation. What you want to do requires a third-party utility for programming keyboard macros such as iKey, QuickSilver, etc. You'll find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Change Keyboard Shortcuts for sound volume

    I want to change the keyboard shortcut for changing the system sound/audio volume. There isn't an option in the Keyboard Shortcuts system preference pane. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thanks for helping me think through this. My (likely circa 2001) iKey keyboard didn't come with software (at least that I would still use). My initial guess was that I programmed the keys through FastScripts, but quitting that didn't help.
    So, I looked back through the archives at MacOSXHints.com and found two options: I hadn't installed KeyRemap4Macbook, but I was still using ControllerMate. I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for helping jog my memory.

  • Where can I find a list of the keyboard shortcuts for editing a Wiki page, on Windows and Mac?

    I tried searching in Help, but I haven't been able to find anything.  I'd like to get a list of the keyboard shortcuts that work while editing a wiki page in the Mac Server Wiki running on Lion. 
    When accessing Lion Server Wiki from a Mac, some of the usual suspects work: cmd+B for bold, cmd+} to indent, etc.  When accessing the Lion Server Wiki from Windows, though, I can't find an equivalent keyboard shortcut for the indent / unindent.  Where can I find a list of all of them?
    Thanks!
