Keyboard shortcut to advance to next message

Is there any way to advance to the next message in Mail when you have a message open and you don't use the pane? In Entourage I could hit Opt+] to move through a list of messages, closing the one I had open and opening the next one automatically, which is especially handy when you are trying to quickly go through multiple results in a search query.
If this is not something that Mail can do out of the box, are there any ad-ons available to give Mail this functionality? This is a huge feature in my view and I'm surprised it's not intuitive, or possibly even included.
Thanks,

Thank you so much. I've been trying to find a way to do this for a long time!

PS3 Extended - keyboard shortcut for advancing one frame?

HI,
I just can't find any keyboard shortcut to advance one frame forward/backwards while working with a video file in PS3 Extended.
Would be very helpfull while painting, cloning etc.
Thanks,
Michal

In case, exporting single frames is your prefered share-option:
Open Prefs/Destinations
ctrl-click on 'Export actual frame'
set to 'Standard:
From now on, hit cmd-E to export the actual frame ...
And no '' here, this is a User2user board ...

Crop Tool -- shortcut to advance to next frame since forward arrow doesn't work in crop tool?

Hi,
As a pro, I crop all my photos.
I normally use the forward arrow to move through each image, but with the crop tool the forward arrow doesn't work for advancing to the next frame.
It only adjusts the crop.
This is extremely frustrating for me as it slows down my workflow.
Is there a one key shortcut, within the Crop Tool -- that permits us to move forward from frame to frame?
I wish the forward key worked for this within the crop tool!
Is there an easy answer or a way to format something in Lightroom -- so I can have a one-key method to advance frames within the Crop tool?
thank so much, Teri

Thank you so much Jim, really appreciate you're taking the time to get back to me... its so helpful and now I can get my jobs done!
I just tested it on my Mac and it worked with the Command + arrow Key...
However, using two fingers for this shortcut is a little clumsy and uncomfortable...
I think there's a way to create your own keyboard shortcuts -- do you know how to do this, maybe assigning a single key which would be a little easier?
Thanks again so much for taking the time to answer this Jim and hope you have a great night!
all the best, Teri

Keyboard shortcuts to switch to next sequence and to zoom in

Hello world of video editors!
The more I work with Premiere Pro, the more I like it. There's one thing that's bugging me tho, I don't manage to assign two shortcuts:
I'd like to be able to use ctrl tab to switch to the next open sequence (down in the timelines)
Ideally, also shift ctrl tab to switch to the previous open sequence
I'd like to be able to use cmd - and cmd + to zoom in and out of my timeline. (not make the rows taller or tinier)
Anyone?
thank you!
Sébastian Dahl

Sebastian,
Welcome here as another user of these intriguing programs. Some hot-keys are re-assignable so you can change them, some things apparently aren't. There's a list of all PrPro's "standard" hot-keys available through the Adobe PrPro help files. I think that actually lists the re-assignable ones, and includes all things that can be hot-keyed.

Keyboard shortcut for previous or next clip?

pg up & dn won't snap to next clip in timeline

Hi tupnrip,
Which version of Premiere Pro are you using? These days, the Up/Down Arrow key works in place of Page Up/Down. Please try that.
Thanks,
Kevin

Keyboard shortcut for opening mail messages

i'd like to be able to open email messages using a keyboard shortcut. i suspect i'm being thick, but I can't seem to find a way to do that. (i tried the keyboard shortcut function in system preferences, but because there is no "open" menu command, I couldn't create a shortcut.) Much obliged for any help.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I too would be interested in a keyboard shortcut to open new email messages. Do any of you Mail pros have an idea to help us out with this?
Thanks!

Create keyboard shortcuts

I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut to advance through safari tabs, just like I advance through programs using command tab. I went to system preferences, keyboard shortcuts. The + is no longer there to add shortcuts. Is there a different way to add keyboard shortcuts in mountain lion?

If you have a trackpad or Magic Mouse, consider getting BetterTouchTool, which will give you the ability to create a ton of gestures, such as next tab in safari.
BetterTouchTool will also allow you to create hotkey keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts and tabs with get info box

I'm having several problems with the new get info box - and regret that I can no longer bring up the old version with the shift/right-click/get-info command.
1) No keyboard shortcut to advance from one track to the next, from inside the Get Info box. This used to be handled with Alt-N or Alt-P for Next and Previous. Now it seems to require mouse click on the error.
2) When tabbing through fields, it skips fields toward the bottom (album artist)
3) For works with the same title (most of my library is classical), I've tended to organize them by adding an extra space at the end of the Album line for the 2nd work with that title, or an extra two spaces for the 3rd work with that same title. This way they sort as distinct albums, since most works have multiple tracks. With the new Get Info, if I enter that extra space on the field in the box, it cuts it off when clicking ok. But if I just F2 the field on itunes list view, I can add it with no problem. This is a pain because I have to do it one track at a time, can't do it for multiple tracks at once.

The functions printed in small letters on those keys are accessed by the fn key.
The following work on my MBP (albeit using Word 2008, but IIRC the same shortcuts worked in Word 2004):
Jump to start of document = Command-Fn-LeftArrow (aka Command-Home)
Jump to end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)
Likewise,
Jump to start of line = Fn-LeftArrow
Jump to end of line = Fn-RightArrow
Page Up = Fn-UpArrow
Page Down = Fn-DownArrow
In this one (exceedingly rare) instance, Niel is incorrect.

InDesign 5.5 Missing keyboard shortcuts

I'm using ID5.5 and my keyboard shortcuts aren't listed next to my commands, and the ones I know by heart aren't working. It's like they're missing. My teacher thinks I'm stupid and I can't find how to fix this for a MAC. I've seen a post about Windows, but I am working on a mac.

You saw the keyboard shortcut if are the one that you saved?

What is the Keyboard Shortcut for Next/Previous Message in Lion Mail?

Using the 'full screen' message viewer (rather than the preview pane) how do I progress to an older/newer message in a folder without closing the window?

So Entourage can go to the previous message? How do you do that?
I can't stand that Mail always goes to the next newest message after deleting.
Every other email program I've ever seen (including Entourage - see below) can do this. Why can't Apple? I don't want to touch the mouse most of the time because it really slows down work to move ones hands back and forth. I did a quick web search and found these shortcuts for all the major programs. If you know of any other program besides Apple Mail that doesn't have this, let me know.
Until then, if Outlook, Outlook Express, Entourage, Sparrow, Postbox, and Thunderbird have had this, what's Apple's problem adding it?

Keyboard Shortcuts for Mail Message

I switched to Mail from MozillaThunderbird. In Thunderbird, one can move through OPEN mail messages via Keyboard Shortcut; a simple "F" for next message or "B" for previous message. In Mail, the only thing I've figured out is that one can arrow through one's LIST of messages, then use "Return" to open only the selected e-mail. From there, I must return to the list again (Cmmd+W)to open the next or previous message. This seems cumbersome an un-Maclike. Is there any way, from an already open message, to move to the next or previous message via Keyboard Shortcut? thanks

No. Mail lacks this functionality. The closer you can get is to have the preview pane visible below the message list and move from one message to another using the arrow keys.

Next message / previous message shortcuts?

On my Outlook account at work, I can move through my messages by opening one message, and then clicking the "next message / previous message" arrows on the taskbar. The new message opens directly in place of the previous one.
In Mail, I have to close one message, return to the Inbox and then open the next message. I've looked through these posts, and in the OS X Tiger Missing Manual and can't find a similar keystroke/button to navigate directly from the message window.
I hate to acknowledge that MS EVER has a simpler, more efficient way to do anything, but I may have to make an exception here! Anyone got a clue?

Hello Ryan.
You can use keyboard shortcuts to take pictures of the screen in Mac OS X.
To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.
If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
Screen shots are saved as files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document.
You can use the Grab application to take a picture of all or part of your computer screen.
Open Grab (located in /Applications/Utilities) and choose a command from the Capture menu.
Selection takes a picture of a part of the screen that you select.
Window takes a picture of a window you select.
Screen takes a picture of the entire screen.
Timed Screen lets you start a timer and activate part of the screen (such as a menu), and then takes a picture of the screen.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
To see information about a screen shot you've taken, such as the size and depth, choose Edit > Inspector.
To save a screen shot, choose File > Save. Grab saves screen shots as files in TIFF format. You can use the Preview application to view these files and export them to other formats, such as JPEG.

Keyboard Shortcut to Select Next Tab not working

Hello. Somewhat similar to this issue (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11414081#11414081), the keyboard shortcut to select the previous / next tab in Safari isn't working in (my) 10.6.3. What is it with this system, or what fundamental thing am I missing, that these different key shortcuts aren't working?
Thanks again

Create keyboard shortcut to flag messages colors other than read

I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to flag messages in Apple Mail a color other than red. (I've created smart folders associated with different color flags; I want to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to quickly flag an item so that it moves to the right smart folder.)
I've gone to system preferences/keyboard/keyboard shortcuts/application shorts and created new shortcuts for Apple Mail. )Control-option-command-o is one.) The 'All Controls' tab is clicked at the bottom. However, the commands don't work.
The instructions above suggest that it should be adding a new command to the menu. I don't see anything new though. Should there be something somwhere?
Thank you in advance for your help with this question. Any suggestions you have would be great appreciated.

Hello,
When adding a keyboard shortcut for Mail :
Type in "Menu Title" the menu item exactly as it appears in the application menu, for example "Orange";
In the "Keyboard Shortcut" press the key combination you want to associate.
You'll perhaps have to restart application for the new shortcut to have effect.
Regards.
