Keyboard shortcut for selecting clips

I'd like to program a button or buttons on my control surface to select clips in the timeline. Are there keyboard shortcuts for selecting clips? (it's not "x")

Thanks RedTruck.
The problem with x is that it seems to mark every clip, but I think you may be on to something. Is there a keyboard command for selecting the target track? I could possibly add that command to the macro to make this work....trying to get to mouse-free editing.

What is are Keyboard Shortcuts for select all right

Thanks for the tip. Been editing with FCPX since it came out. I love the way it keeps presenting me with new BETTER ways to do things.

Keyboard shortcut for selecting point on curve?

Before CS4 you use to be able to hold down the command key, at least I think it was the command key, while you have a curve open and you could see where you were on the curve, then click with the mouse to select that point. Now you have first click on the little finger with the arrow icon in the curve pallette to do that. So is there a keyboard shortcut to select that icon?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi
I'm afraid the short answer appears to be: no.
There is still no way... unless someone can correct me and I'd love them to... to highlight a panel (cycle through them till the required one is highlighted) and then simply tab through the various parts of that panel. I've just had a play. Nor is it amenable to setting up an action for it which I've found to be a solution before now... just tried it. Nor is there a custom shortcut opportunity.... I've drawn a blank on all the ways I'd try.
I beleive you're talking about the Window > Adjustments > Curves panel and the little tool at the top of the list.
I am sorry.

Why is the keyboard shortcut for 'Select next input source' disabled when using Safari?

I'm using Safari 6.0.5 and am running 10.8.4 on a MacBook Pro 13" from last year.
I've been using Chrome and Firefox heavily recently, but switched to Safari to give it a chance. It's really nice and lightweight, which suits me.
However, for some reason unbeknownst to me, the keyboard shortcut 'Select next input source' is disabled in Safari, in all windows/input methods.
Since I constantly switch input methods, this is incredibly frustrating.
It persists after quit + restart.
Any ideas?

Yes, just Safari. In Chrome, Firefox and all other applications it works as expected.

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

Keyboard shortcut for select tool when in text tool

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use keyboard shortcuts in Motion 5, but I've come across
a little issue:
Let's say I've been using the text tool adjusting text in a text box. Then I want to go to the Select/Transform tool.
If I type Shift+S (the keyboard command for the Select/Transform tool), a capital "S" appears in my text.
The only way around this I've found is to enable the Select/Transform tool with my mouse, which I find kind of slow and annoying.
Any ideas? Hope I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks.

The escape key will take you out of text entry mode. See the "Text Tools in the Toolbar" Section

Keyboard Shortcut for Selecting between volumes?

How do I select between volumes without having to use the mouse to select the upper left hand section if the finder window? It seems like I can only navigate the folders contained within the drives using the keypad, but not between the drives themselves. Anybody know if this is possible?

iKey is a front end program that simulates typing and mouse movements. I use iKey to remap the Function keys.
"iKey is an automation utility, a program that creates shortcuts to accomplish repetitive tasks. In essence, an iKey shortcut is a little program in its own right, but you don't need to know the first thing about programming to create an iKey shortcut. All you have to do is put together three necessary parts of a shortcut: One or more commands that give the shortcut its functionality, a context in which it runs, and a launcher that defines how the shortcut is activated."
http://www.scriptsoftware.com/ikey/
iKey has a little more function then the previous free version called youpi key. For many years, I used youpi key before switching to iKey. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported.

I have the common programs that I use assigned to function keys. I have F4 assigned to Firefox. When I want to start FireFox, I press F4. When I want to switch to firefox, I press F4! Starting & switching to an application in Mac OS are the same thing in Mac OS.
Here is an example of to assign volumn control to a function key.

      close wNames_ref
   end repeat
   activate
   select window of desktop
   make new Finder window to startup disk
   select Finder window 1
   set target of Finder window 1 to folder "Applications" of startup disk
   select Finder window 1
   set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
end tell
The second portion of this script was generated in the script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some editing, I copy the script to ikey/youpi key.
I have all of my frequently used applications set to function keys.

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?

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!

Keyboard shortcuts to select develop sliders

For those people who like to minimize their mouse kilometers, it would be useful to have keyboard shortcuts to *select* individual sliders in the develop module. [See also the specific request for an exposure shortcut that recently came up in this thread:
shawnmoore, "What is the Lightroom keyboard shortcut for Exposure?" #, 27 Aug 2007 9:10 pm ]
Keyboard shortcuts for individual sliders would be particularly convenient for people using programmable controllers (i.e. the Contour Design Shuttle). You could assign the shortcut to a programmable key (on button for 'exposure', for example) and then use the shuttle/scroll wheel to adjust the corresponding value.
Now, I realize that Lightroom is quickly running out of available shortcut keys, so I suggest to couple them to the active panel. Currently, ctrl+[number] (on Windows) selects the n-th panel on the panel set on the right hand side, i.e. ctrl+1 -> basic, ctrl+2 -> tone curve. My proposal would be to use ctrl+F[number] to select the n-th slider (or other control) *within* that panel. Then, the up/down arrows could be used to adjust the values.
Any opinions?
Simon

**Update: I will try and re-write this to inject the shift-up/down instead of using mouse movements ** Here's a quick hack to do the same for Windows using www.AutoHotKey.com I would like it if LR would add exposure, fill, black, as nudge shortcuts so that I can reprogram my Logitech G15 to call the same. NOTE: This can go very weird if you computer speed is different to mine. If you find the mouse pointer disappears, close LR, and increase the Sleep 500 below. <WinKey>2 = Black Minus <WinKey>3 = Black Plus <WinKey>4 = Fill Minus <WinKey>5 = Fill Plus <WinKey>6 = Exp Minus <WinKey>7 = Exp Plus ; Code Starts #IfWinActive, Lightroom #2::LRMouseMove( 10, -2) ; Black Clipping, Minus #3::LRMouseMove( 10, 2) ; Black Clipping, Plus #4::LRMouseMove( 40, -5) ; Fill, Minus #5::LRMouseMove( 40, 5) ; Fill, Plus #6::LRMouseMove(115,-10) ; Exposure, Minus #7::LRMouseMove(115, 10) ; Exposure, Plus LRMouseMove(x,dx) { MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos BlockInput, MouseMove ControlGetPos, cx, cy, w, h, AfxWnd80u82 MouseMove, X+CX, CY+50, 1 MouseClickDrag, L, 0, 0, DX, 0, 0, R Sleep 500 MouseMove, XPOS, YPOS, 1 BlockInput, MouseMoveOff Exit } #IfWinActive ; Code Ends

Lost keyboard shortcut for render

In the last two Premire Elements 10 projects I have started, the keyboard shortcut for rendering (return) is no longer operational. In the Keyboard Customization menu, this choice is grayed out and I can't select it.
Any shortcuts for fixing this? Do I have to re-install the program? My Premire came in a package with Photoshop, and I suspect I will have to re-install Photoshop also, which I would like to avoid -seems to be asking for trouble!
Thank you
Also, the Render command does not work even when I choose it from the drop down menu. And I have a Mac running OS 10.

Is the light gray Work Area Bar along the top of the timeline over your entire project? Only clips under the Work Area Bar will be rendered.
Can you post a screen capture of your timeline to this forum?

Keyboard shortcuts for cropping not working

iPhoto '11 (9.3.1) cropping shortcuts not working.
Pressing shift while dragging does not disable the "Contrain" setting when using preset sizes. Nothing happens.
What are we supposed to "drag vertically" or "horizontally" in a preset crop size that makes iPhoto switch between portrait or landscape constrain setting?
Having to go to the "Crop" drop-down menu to click-switch contraints between portrait and landscape is very tiring - these shortcuts don't work unless someone can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Disable constrain setting in crop tool when selecting an area
Press the Shift key while dragging

Hi -
In order to support keyboard shortcuts for the Tag Panel we needed to implement a bit of a unique method. The Tag Panel itself does indeed need to have focus in order for it's keyboard shortcuts to activate. The core reason for this is to remove the potential for keyboard shortcut conflicts between the rest of the app the those stored within a Tag template. Remember, you can share Tag Templates across system and with other users. and each template can contain it's own shortcut definitions. The only way to prevent conflicts is to enforce the focus rule.
the recommended workflow is to open a clip and set focus to the Tag Panel. From the Tag Panel all of the Transport Controls (JKL, SPACE BAR for play/pause, etc.) will still function when the Tag Panel has focus. So you should still be able to review your clips and apply Tags via shortcut.
Let me know how this works. We are always looking to improve workflows so if you come up with some improvement ideas please share.
Regards,
Michael

Any ShortCut for selecting Tracks in FCP?

Hello,
I wonder if there is any ShortCut to select the Tracks in the Timeline?
I googled, and I asked friends nobody seem to know!
Thats the only moment I need to use my Mouse/Pen, while making a rough cut.
There is a ShortCut for everything else
like moving the Tracks up and down...but for selecting them?
I dont know!
PB 1.5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

As mentioned, no keyboard shortcut to select whole tracks.
You can select clips in tracks with the keyboard, if that's what you want to do, but it's cumbersome. I'm all about using the keyboard when possible, but it's the one things that using the mouse is best for.
To select clips with the keyboard, you must really think ahead, about Ins and Outs, and AutoSelect. If, say, you wanted to select clips on Track 2 with only the keyoard, you might need to take these many steps
Mark In and Out
Or, if you need an entire track, press Command-A to select all, then X to Mark In and Out, then Shift-A to Mark Selection
Toggle Autoselect Off for all Video Tracks (Command-Numeric Zero, that's Zero on the number pad)
Toggle AutoSelect On for select video tracks (Command-Numeric Two - you guessed it, 2 on the number pad)
Toggle Autoselect Off for all Audio Tracks (Option-Numeric Zero)
Toggle AutoSelect On for select Audio tracks (Command-Numeric [track #] (for each track)
Select In and Out (Option-A)
In other words, learn to appreciate your mouse.

Is there a list of mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0?

Is there anywhere online where I can find a list of Mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0? I would have thought it would be easy to find, but I've searched and haven't seen anything. In particular, I'm looking for shortcuts to let me vertical zoom and a shortcut that moves the playhead back to the beginning in multitrack view.

With Audition 3.0 for Windows, vertical zoom in edit view can be done by right-click-drag on the vertical exist to select a region. Incremental vertical zoom can be done by moving the mouse cursor over the vertical access, then using the track wheel to zoom in or out. In multitrack view, if you use the track wheel in the main window, it widens all the tracks proportionately.
To move to the beginning or end (in both edit and multitrack views), use the Home and End keys. In edit view, Ctrl-left arrow and Ctrl-right arrow also do this. In multitrack view, the Ctrl-arrow keys move to the beginning and end of the audio clips, whereas the End key goes to the end of the overall piece (which may include silence after the last clip).
Most keyboard shortcuts can be assigned, cleared, or re-assigned. In Windows this is done via the Edit menu item (for which the shortcut is Alt-k).

Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...

I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
Hope this helps out!!
