Keyboard shortcut requests

It would be real nice if ID shipped with a custom set of keyboard shortcuts that could be used by Mac FrameMaker refugees like myself. I used FM for 15 years and I would like to retain its shortcuts as much as possible.
At the very least, **please** make it possible to add a shortcut for "Insert Cross-Reference"; right now (CS4) that command doesn't show up at all in the Shortcuts window (with Type Menu as the Product Area). Did someone just forget about it because it's a new feature?

A simple check of the shortcut command list with "Show Set" reveals this can be found in the Product area "Panel Menus". That's totally the same as the other options in all other panel menus, new or not.

Feature Request: Adobe, please make After effects CC keyboard shortcuts customizable as in Premiere

I'm making this feature requests because I've tried the only two known methods for customizing keyboard shortcuts in After Affects and neither of these work in CC:
• 2008 video tutorial on Creative Cow Forum for modifying the After Effects Keyboard shortcuts text file - unfortunately this doesn't work in AE CC
• a youtube tutorial about how to install KeyedUp for After Effects - tried this but also not able to change any shortcuts in AE CC
One of the things I love most about Premiere Pro CC is how many keyboard shortcuts you can customize. You can even do this in Adobe Audition.
So why not in After Effects?
Adobe please bring this feature to the next update of After Effects CC.

Hi Todd,
Sorry I replied to you in the Creative Cow forum. Just in case you didn't see my reply there, I'm reposting it here:
Essentially after following the tutorial video very carefully, modifying the shortcuts, making sure there are no traces of other instances of the old shortcut, I save the file then when I reopen AE, I get this window:
Then when I check the folder housing the shortcuts text file I see that my modified shortcut text file simply got renamed "old" at the end of the line:
See second line in window "Shortcuts.txt.old" -> that's the file I modified. It looks like AE simply spawned a new default shortcuts file titled "...Shortcuts.txt"

Feature Requests - Keyboard Shortcut

Please bring de same keyboard shorcuts as the other apps of the Suite. For example zomming with CMD+SPACE BAR. Bring the ability to use modifier keys for the shortcut also (in case of we are in a text box). Thanks!

Feature requests and bug reports can be submitted to Adobe here:

Remember that you can create your own custom keyboard shortcuts for Fireworks (under Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts). You can create multiple sets for different purposes, if you like. In my Keyboard Shortcuts panel, there's even a set called "Photoshop" and a set called "Illustrator"—I've never explored these sets though, so I don't know how they differ from the standard.

Suggestion for a New Keyboard Shortcut

I'd like to suggest a way of increasing the efficiency of editing captions and other metadata in Aperture by adding a keyboard shortcut that always serves to move to the next image in the viewer. For example, Command-Shift-] (or something) to move to the next image in the library. Right now, I think only arrows move to the next image, but that doesn't work if you are editing in a text box, so you have to use the mouse or trackpad.

Is there a way to use Frame 8 keyboard shortcuts in 9?

I understand that there is a new UI, but my coworker wants to remain on Frame 8 if he can't use the shortcuts he's been using for 15 years (muscle memory lasts a long time). Is there any way (a preference maybe) to use the F8 shortcuts? I saw a trick for scrolling through paragraph styles starting with the same letter using the down arrow. (Hello Adobe? It is not reasonable to suggest having headings names start with a unique letter. There are huge and current books that have all their tags already. And there are only but so many letters.) If there is no way to use F8, is there a table somewhere of what to do now?
Thanks so much.

So here are a few specific problems:
1. Ctrl 8 and 9 make you use the down arrow key to cycle through letters. How would I change the ini file so that I could just keep hitting the letter?
2. When I start typing something and then realize I've hit the wrong letter, it seems I need to backspace to the begining to correct it. I used to be able to just start up with the correct letter.
3. Sometimes I hit Ctrl 9 and I do not get the small box where the style names display, I only see the arrow that I then need to mouse over to and click to list the styles. Why is that?
4. If I accidently hit Ctrl 8 when I wanted 9 (for example), I have to hit escape and then start again. Previously, hitting the correct sequence twice would get me where I wanted.
That's all I can think of now...I appreciate the assistance...jen
The operation of the menu that opens with Ctrl+8 and similar commands has changed in recent releases. It's not clear if it's due to a bug or a design intention. You can ask for a bug fix or feature enhancement at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
Search FrameMaker help for Keyboard Shortcuts for lists of useful shortcuts. Even if you open a menu with a different shortcut - say Escape q p, or Escape q c (quick paragraph or character format list) instead of Ctrl+8 or 9, the menu still misbehaves.
I haven't tried typing a different shortcut with the Escape-key method, while in a "wrong" one, to see if that works as you remember the Ctrl+ method, but it's more keystrokes than typing Escape.
It's not customizable in maker.ini.
There are third-party keystroke recorder utilities that may be useful. For example, you could invoke a shortcut that opens a Ctrl+ or Escape-key menu, then types the specific command you want (without mis-typing) and executes it. Search for keystroke macro recorders on Google.

Custom keyboard shortcuts and editing multiple layers in Flash CS4

Hi, all -
CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worry about future animations that might be more complex.
Similarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
Any and all help would be appreciated as I muddle through this. Honestly, guys, I WANT to like the new version and there's so many added features, but it's hampering my workflow so bad I want to pummel it with sticks.

Hey there,
I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog. Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for? Just curious in case I can help.
Jen.

Acrobat 7.1.4 are actions or keyboard shortcuts possible?

Acrobat 7.0 (7.1.4) Standard.
Is it possible to change/assign keyboard shortcuts in Acrobat 7 (like one might in photoshop or illustrator)?
Or...
Is there any action/macro recording options?
I want to save myself a little effort. I typically add a coversheet to a proof then go to the security page and add a password.
What I'd like to be able to do is hit a key to insert the coversheet, then go to the Document Properity Security tab.

Nope.
Track patching in Premiere via keyboard is decidely undercooked. The more people that request it as a feature the more likely it is to be implemented. Please submit a feature request, I know I have:

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

How can I map a keyboard shortcut to the reacord button in the Audio Mixer Panel?

I have been recording voiceovers in Premiere Pro CS5 for a while, but I would like to improve my work flow. Each time I record a take, I first press the record button (labeled as B below) with the mouse cursor and then press the Play button with the Spacebar keyboard shortcut. After I record the audio, I hit Stop and this toggles the record button off at the same time. I then must hit the record button again with the mouse to start the process over again.
Is there a way to map a keyboard shortcut to the record button in the audio panel so that I don't have to touch the mouse when recording voiceovers?

There is not currently a shortcut for this. That's a good feature request, though. You can submit feature requests here.

Custom Commands and Keyboard shortcuts

Hi,
I have recently added a custom command to Vivado 2015.1 to set the current working directory to the top level folder where the project is stored using this TCL:
cd [string trimright [get_property DIRECTORY [get_projects]] proj]
This allows me run TCL scripts using a simple relative path to a folder in the project containing TCL scripts instead of having to type a long absolute path because Vivado insists on using C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Xilinx/Vivado as it's default working directory (e.g source ./tcl/script.tcl rather than source C:/<long path to folder>/tcl/script.tcl)
I added a keyboard shortcut to this command (in this case Ctrl+Shift+P) to allow to me change the PWD quickly when I need to.
However, every time I open Vivado the keyboard shortcut initially does not work. I press Ctr+Shift+P and nothing happens. In order to get this to work I have to press Alt+T to get the tools menu, then u to get the Customize commands option and then withough clicking anything in this menu, just by opening the menu, the shortcut works.
In short every time I start Vivado afresh, I have to press, Alt+T, u, then Esc, Esc to back out of the menu to get the shortcut to work ( or I can click Tools->Customise Commands and then back out of the menus by using Esc, Esc and it has the same effect).
Can anyone else confirm this?
It feels like it is not recognizing the shortcut until the Customise commands menu has been opened. Is it not loading the shortcut until this menu opens? The whole idea of the shortcut is to avoid having to open the menu every time.
Regards
Simon

Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

[Keyboard Shortcuts] Editing the indk.-file

Hi.
I'm working in a newspaper and we have upgraded our advertisement software. With this software a plugin is installed to InDesign to save and export.
On the last version you had the possibility to assign a keyboard shortcut in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts to the feature AdPoint > Save and Export PDF.
In the new version the menu is stil present and being used to "Save and Export" every advert produced. However, the menu does not appear in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Ive been trying to edit the .indk-file, but with no luck.
I copied the .indk-file from when the last version that was used. It didnt work, but this is the part in the .indk-file:
<shortcut>
 <action-id value="0xe9600 + 5" name="KBSCE Other:0xe9600kAPP_ExportPDF_MenuItemKey"></action-id>
 <context>DefaultContext</context>
 <string>Shift+Ctrl+E</string>
</shortcut>
Anyone know how to make this work?
Version: InDesign CS5
OS: Windows 7

The best way to add a +1 would be for everyone to file a feature request. Those are officially tracked by Adobe (unlike this user-to-user forum) and the more people that ask for something, the more likely it is to be implemented.

Keyboard shortcut for 'replace document colours?

(I'm on windows 7 with acrobat 9 from cs5)
Hi all, I recently discovered the 'replace document colors' option in the accessibility preferences.
What I would like to know (and/or request if it isn't already available) is if there is a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch this preference on/off? Or, is there a way to script something like this to add it in?
If there was a toolbar button, or keyboard shortcut to go with the other accessibility shortcuts, this feature would be even better. My thought is that you would set your colour preferences for background/text and then use the shortcut to quickly enable or disable the custom colors as needed (similar to web browsers and their custom style sheets).

There isn't.

How to disable keyboard shortcut for Type-And-Transfer

Hi,
I'm trying to create a macro in Excel that I want to use the ctrl+shft+h keyboard shortcut. However, Lenovo's Type-and-Transfer tool has hijacked that shortcut so everytime I try to use the shortcut within Excel it launches the Type-and-Transfer tool. I've looked everywhere and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to disable this keyboard shortcut from launching the Type-and-Transfer tool. Anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
jd

Hi,
here is what I would check in:
Registry:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LENOVO
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo
<sorry as I don't havea system with this shortcut type I cannot find the exact same key combination>
My second thought is going more in the direction of an application, that is called Keyboard Customizer
Try this one, if that will fit your request.
Let me know any update, that you can give on this situation.
Cheers

Unable to change keyboard shortcuts

It drives me insane that Adobe doesn't use the standard Mac keyboard shortcuts in their applications for Mac. I finally got annoyed enough that I went to fix them in Dreamweaver. I found the place to set shortcuts, but when I try to replace the End key (for end of line) with Cmd+Right nothing happens. If I hit a letter, for example, that key appears, but it doesn't seem to recognize Cmd+Right arrow as a valid sequence. Before trying to add that I removed the shortcut for Cmd+Right that was associated with 'Word Right'.

Hi Guys,
We are aware of this issue and are fixing this issue for the next update where the keyboard shortcuts would be as
Move word left - CTRL+LEFT
Move word right - CTRL+RIGHT
Move to start of current line - ALT+LEFT
Move to end of current line - ALT+RIGHT
I would appereciate it if Please log an enhancement request at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform for not being able to set keyboard shortcuts unless it includes a alpahbetical character
