Keyboard shortcut for Sub Menu item Only works AFTER using it

I have a Custom MOVE TO READ Mailbox shortcut. This is a SUB Menu item.. MESSAGE/Move To/READ FOLDER.
It is really sweet to clear out my INBOX and save emails.
So, what is ODD is that that menu has to be Clicked on and shown each time MAIL is run for that keyboard shortcut to work.
I find that Odd and would love to have it work without having to "train" it everyday.

  • Keyboard shortcut for printing _current page_ only in Reader 8?

    Hi there,
    I'm working through a large PDF-file, and need to print individual pages while reading through the whole of this PDF file. I don't think that there is a keyboard shortcut for printing _current page_ only.
    I'm aware that CTRL-P gets you to the print menu, but then I always have to opt for clicking on "current page" AND "ok"... With about 50 pages out of a 100-page document this is cumbersome.
    If there isn't such a keyboard shortcut, could Adobe consider giving its users the option to customised shortcuts, and implement this option of printing a current page only?
    Many thanks,
    Pli

    no it doesn't
    it just changes font size

  • Why does LV(8.0.1) still track the keyboard shortcuts of disabled menu items?

    Hello all,
    when I disable a (super-) menu item, the submenu-items are grayed out as expected. But they still accept their keyboard- shortcuts. Is this a bug in LV? If I explicitly disable the submenu- items, all works fine, but the simple method would be nicer and comprehensibly.
    I made a VI to illustrate.

    Menu with shortcuts.zip ‏37 KB

    Hi Dave,
    it seems a bit strange but at the end it is a absolutely correct behaviour. If you deactivate a menu item than all sub-menu items are deactivated in the menu bar. But that is only a feature of the menu bar. To disable the short cut you have to deactivate the sub-menu item itself. In you zip-file the <STRG - C> is deactivated but the <STRG - V> still works. That depends on the settings in your test3.vi where you defined the items to be disabled. If you add "Paste" to the array of items or if you disable all items then the shortcuts will be disabled as well.

  • 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.

  • CS3 - Scripts Menu item greyed out after using file info

    This looks like a bug to me, anyone else had the same problem ? Or solutions
    I have a couple of scripts which add an extra menu item called "Scripts" on the menu bar (and sub-menu items to call the scripts). If I open the 'file info' for a selected file and then close it again (doesn't matter if it is cancel or okay) the "Scripts" menu item is now greyed out and not accessible.
    Only cure is to shut down and restart bridge - very annoying.
    Bridge v 2.1.1.9 on Win XP SP2.

    sorry for the late reply.. just saw your qn in 2 years time.. ;p
    you need to set "Enable Attached Scripts" to check in the Edit>Preferences>General.
    hope that helps 

  • Flash CC keyboard shortcuts for test/debug movie not working

    My keyboard shortcuts all work exept for the various test / debug options, like debug on device,test on desktop. None of these options work.
    I tried different keys combinations, so it's not the problem.
    I'm tired of going trough the menu + submenu each time because I frequently switch (desktop is faster for quick testing).
    I mean, I do this a hundred times a day. Please check this! thanks.

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer.
    Flash CC, Win7 64bit, I use sublime text, nothing else is running...
    Absolutly nothing is happening if I try.
    Correction: ctrl+enter has been successfully assigned (I see the text in the menu) and is recongnize for "test movie ...air debug desktop"
    Others don't appear in the sub-sub-menu for testing or debugging over usb.
    I've assigned them to ctrl+alt+enter/return and ctrl-shift-enter/return. (I've tried other keys as well...)
    So it appear the problem is with test/debug USB...
    EDIT: Just to be clear, I try to set custom shortcuts, to avoid the default behaviour (one shortcut to launch the last choice). this weird behaviour is probably the cause of the problem in the first place.

  • Adding keyboard shortcuts for duplicate menu names

    I wanted to make a shortcut for the "Use Default" menu item under Format/Fonts/Baseline in Pages. To do that i fired up system preferences and added a new shortcut for Pages and typed in "Use Default" as the name. Unfortunately there is a second menu item called "Use Default" under "Ligature", which gets teh shortcut since it comes first in the menu list.
    Is there a way to add a shortcut to a specific submenu subitem, so i can force the shortcut to be for the Use Default under Baseline? This applies not only to Pages but to every application which has duplicate menu names in it.
    Thanks,
    Chris Niski

    I probably shouldn't reply and get your hopes up... but I noticed that the Shortcut setup didn't allow for specifying menu names (hah! even tho the text box is named "Menu Name" not "Menu Item") and wondered if there were apps that had duplicate menu names.
    I'm no help at all, unless sympathy helps...

  • Keyboard shortcut for star shape does not work - arrow keys

    I need to use the star shape to make a sort of badge with many points.
    In the past, I've used the star shape and held up arrow or down arrow to change the number of points on the star. This no longer works for me in Adobe Illustrator CS4 (on a Windows Vista). Did this shortcut change? All my other keyboard shortcuts work. I tried resetting the preference file for Illustrator just in case, but it didn't fix it.

    I have found a work-around for this problem, although it's a bit annoying.
    I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and encountered the same problem with establishing the number of points on a star. I tried everything and noticed it worked sometimes. Well, turns out that it will work only once after changing the settings for your pen.  I just moved the tip feel setting leaving the pen tablet properties window open, went to illustrator and the arrow keys worked. If you try drawing the shape again, it won't work. You have to go back to the pen tablet properties window and move or change something, go back to illustrator and it works again. It's a little annoying, but if you're used to using the arrow keys to create shapes, it's handy to know it's there.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 shortcut for adjusting exposure causes image to black out for a short time.

    Hi everyone,
    I have always used the mouse and slider for adjust things in the develop module. I know started using the keyboard shortcuts for faster editing as sugested by everyone and I do like it.  My problem is when i adjust any slider with the + or - keys my picture completely blacks out for a moment then comes back with the adjustment made.  This is frustrating and completely defeats the purpose of using keyboard shortcuts for speed. 
    The only changes I made is I upgraded from a very old dell dimensions computer to a new alienware X51 computer.  I am using lightroom 4.4 64bit and a HDMI connection to my monitor. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks for your time.

    Cj,
    My guess that there is some other hot keys attached to '+' & '-' keys on your keyboard.
    Try to put your system in clean boot and try to launch Lightroom and see if the issue still occurs.
    If you dont get the issue any more go ahead and isolate the app which is causing issue by following divide and rule method on the apps.

  • How do I create a keyboard shortcut for a nested finder menu item?

    Specifically I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut for Finder>Services>Mail>Send File.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    pmasitti,
    Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, click on the "+" sign. From the drop-down menu choose Application: Finder, Menu Title: "Send File" (without the quotes), Keyboard Shortcut: whatever.
    Close system System Preferences and quit the Finder for the change to take effect. You can easily quit and relaunch the Finder from the Apple Menu > Force Quit. Select Finder and click on the Relaunch button.
    For the action to complete, select the Finder item before pressing your keyboard short cut.
    Worked for me... good luck!

  • 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?

  • 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
