Keyboard shortcut for Spot Removal Tool

With my previous version of LR (2.1) I was able to activate/deactivate the spot removal tool using "N" on the keyboard. With 3.3 hitting "N" while the spot removal tool is active sends me back to Library which I guess is a form of deactivation but not the one I'm used to.
Has the shortcut for this tool changed?
Mac OS (latest version), LR 3.3

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....

Set keyboard shortcut for Acrobat DC tools (highlight tool, selection tool)

It seems that this new version Acrobat DC does not have keyboard shortcut for these tools?
How to set shortcuts as the old versions (e.g. U key for highlight, V key for selection)?

Might this link be what you are looking for? https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/keyboard-shortcuts.html
I can't find anything on creating your own shortcuts. Actually, you may want to go to the online help and download the manual in PDF form.

Keyboard shortcut for magnifier tool doesn't always work

Hi!
I have some problems with the opening the magnifier tool via assigned keyboard shortcuts. I assigned opt+z as shortcut for the magnifier tool, and it sometimes work but often don't, and I have no idea why. It always works when opening the tool from the menu. I also tried to assign it to opt+x (which I have used for the "highlight text" in the same program, which always worked), but with the same results.
I have also found that if I press the shortcut for close magnifier (even if I have closed it already) and then press the shortcut for opening it will open. In a similar fashion, the shortcut for closing the magnifier (when it's open) won't work until I have pressed the "open magnifier"-shortcut first (which shouldn't do any difference.) This could either be a strange bug, or something is happening that I'm not aware of.
Help much appreciated (need to read and highlight pdf:s efficiently for university)!

This has never happened to me for Chinese.
I wonder what application you're using when this happens? Or does it happen in any application?
It's possible for an application to have a setting that matches the input language to the font. So I can guess that maybe what is happening is that your cursor is in Korean somehow when you want to switch so that the app wants you to input Korean even though you've switched.
I suppose what I'm suggesting is that if it is happening in one application, there might be an application-related reason.

Only circles for the spot removal tool

Hey all!
I'm running into what seems a simple issue but there's no information about this on line, or at least not something that can help me.
When I choose the spot removal tool and click and drag in order to get a linear edit (not a circle) instead of the desired effect, the circle gets bigger. I can't seem to be able to just correct a non-circular smudge.
I've checked on line, even some tutorials, but everybody seems to just click and drag and it works.
Any ideas?

Which camera raw version are you using. Spot removal was only circles ("spots") in CS6 and earlier. CC added an enhanced spot removal tool that works like photoshop's healing brush tool.

Spot remover tool / healing brush. How do I get the brush to show up and work??

It seems I can only get the spot remover tool to work on certain photos and in certain areas of said photos . On the one picture I really need this for--where the problem started--I had used it once without much success (it was working then, but I didn't do it right). So I left the picture and worked on another. When I came back to the first picture, I brought up an earlier version of it, before the initial spot removal, to work on. Now I can't get the brush to even show up on the frame, although other tools are working fine. I've checked on other pictures and it seems that many times the spot remover brush won't show up. WhY???

Great. There are other keyboard shortcuts when using this tool like the forward slash key and holding down shift if cloning an area that is a straight line. And don’t forget you can click on the word reset. Take a look at this short video tutorial from Adobe TV.

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!

Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

Hi,
My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
Thanks!

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
Switch between portrait and landscape constrain settings in crop tool when selecting an area
Drag vertically for portrait crop or drag horizontally for landscape crop

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

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.+

Any way to create a keyboard shortcut for keywords in Bridge CC?

Just curious if there's any way to create a keyboard shortcut for "new keyword" and "new sub keyword" in Bridge CC?
If not, that would be a welcome addition in any future Bridge update - being able to customize keyboard shortcuts or add your own the way you can in Premiere Pro CC.

Steve,
Not, as far as I know, directly, but the problem is with Aperture, not Keyboard Maestro. Aperture has no command (afaik) for selecting the caption field of the Info Inspector. Without a command, you will have to find another way to access it, or another way to accomplish what you want.
You can specify the spot clicked by screen coordinates, so you cold use the Inspector HUD and the coordinates of the Caption field, as long as the Inspector HUD always pops up in the same location.
Many dialog boxes allow the user to advance through the fields with the Tab key. Unfortunately, the number of times you have to type "{Tab}" in order to get to a particular field depends on other interface elements (if the Control Bar is showing, add 2). I don't know of a way to determine if the Control Bar is showing.
You might find a work-around using a Metadata Preset and the Batch Change command. Keyboard Maestro can easily pop up a dialog with a text field in which you can type what you want to go into Aperture's Caption field.
The best thing to do is download the trial version and see if it meets your needs. Keyboard Maestro is adept at creating macros based on keyboard input. If the program does not provide keyboard equivalents, writing an effective macro becomes difficult.
http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
The author provides exemplary documentation:
http://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/About_Keyboard_Maestro
Lastly, for the use you cite, I simply show the Inspector if it's not showing (by typing "i"), change to the Info tab if it is not currently activated (by clicking, but note that opening the Inspector with the Info tab selected can be done with one command "View➞Inspector➞Info"), and then clicking in the Caption field, which is part of all of the Metadata Views I regularly use.
HTH. Perhaps one of our programming mavens will suggest something better.

In Yosemite version of Numbers, how keyboard shortcut for "Merge Cells" can be created?

In Yosemite version of Numbers, how keyboard shortcut for "Merge Cells" can be created?

OK, I've been doing this since CS2 with no need for a script. To hide guides and show preview...
1) Go to 'Keyboard Shortcuts'
2) Go to 'Product Area - Tools'. Yes, you'd think it would be in Views! But the buttons for this is at the bottom of the Tool Bar.
3) Go to 'Commands: Toggle view setting between default and preview'
4) Click your cursor inside 'New Shortcut' and hit the key you want or type it in. I choose the unused F2 key
5) Click the 'Assign' button and you are set. Hit the key to switch back and forth.
As for your mouse Zoom, use Power Zoom as described above or just hold down the Alt/Option button in 'Hand' mode and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Not one step but it works!
Now you won't miss Quark at all!

Cursor leaves when using the spot removal tool

the cursor leaves when using the spot removal tool if i drag it to the right. how do i find it again?

Below the image, to the left is the <Tool Overlay> feature. Click on the double-triangle and select <Always>. If you have it set to <Auto> it disappears when you leave the image area.
See screen shot:
If you don't see the <Tool Overlay> press letter T on your keyboard to make the toolbar visible.

Using keyboard shortcuts with the text tool active

How does one use keyboard shortcuts when the Text Tool is selected? For example, how do I switch to the Selection Tool when the Text Tool is active? I cannot press "V", as it simply types the letter "v" instead of switching to the Selection Tool.

Thank you!! I knew it would be an easy solution
