Keyboard shortcut to apply paragraph tag

I'm experienced with FrameMaker 8, but just starting to get used to FrameMaker 9. A keyboard shortcut I use constantly in FrameMaker 8 is Ctrl-9, type the first letter of the paragraph tag and hit Enter. If there is more than one tag starting with the same letter, I just keep hitting that letter until the tag I want appears. For example if there's a Heading1 and a Heading2, I type 'h' two times to get Heading2. With FrameMaker 9, it seems that I have to type the whole word 'Heading2' before hitting Enter.
Frustrating when favorite shortcuts are messed up. Is there any way to get my old shortcut back? Is there a fast way to apply paragraph tags in FrameMaker 9?

Type Down Arrow after selecting the first of similar format names. For example, Ctrl+9 H DnArrow moves to Heading2, or whatever is the second format that begins with "H".
Consider using format names that have fewer identical leading characters. For example:
1H Heading1
2H Heading2
1N Numbered1
N Numbered
Typing 1 brings up 1H Heading1; DnArrow moves to 1N Numbered1.
Some folks separate the abbreviation from the full name with an underscore instead of a space; i. e., 1H_Heading1, instead of 1H Heading1.

Keyboard shortcuts for applying styles in Pages 5.0

In Pages '09, you could set a function key as a keyboard shortcut to apply either paragraph or character styles. But I don't see this in Pages 5.0. Have they taken it away or is there another way to do this?
This feature was key for me—it saved me a lot of mouse clicks and drags and made formatting text very easy and consistent. I'll miss it if it's gone, and may even have to keep using the old version of Pages for this reason.

Gone along with 90 other features.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder. Use that and review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store and delete or archive it to prevent it from opening .pages files accidentally.

DW CS6 where to find keyboard shortcut to insert li tag?

Hi, before updating to the latest CS6 build (I think, certainly in DW5/5.5) I used to be able to define a keyboard shortcut to insert an li tag (and select that from the menu) - I used this all the time. I can not now see where I can define a shortcut to do this anymore (or a dt or dd for that matter). Either I am going blind, or it is a new bug. I hope it is the former and someone can tell me where it is. Thanks for any help!
NB: Update - I notice from here (http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/dreamweaver/using/changes-insert-options-creative-c loud.html#main-pars_text) that Creative Cloud CS has had Insert > Tag (and others removed) making it LESS functional to me than non-cloud CS6 and CS5.5. Who was the brain behind that decision? Is the idea to get people to buy both offline and cloud versions and so make even more money? I thought Creative Cloud was the "ultimate" offering?

As you've already noticed, the Text category has been removed from the Insert panel/bar and Insert menu. As a result, you can't assign a keyboard shortcut to <li>, <dt>, or <dd>.
However, you can assign keyboard shortcuts to <ol>, <ul>, and <dl>. They're in the List submenu of the Format menu. Once you have inserted a list, just pressing Enter/Return should create the <li> items. In the case of a definition list, pressing Enter/Return creates <dt> and <dd> elements alternately.
If the change in the 12.1 update wrecks your workflow, log a bug through the form at http://adobe.ly/DWBug. Sending feedback directly to the engineering team is the best way to get your viewpoint to the people who matter.

Can a keyboard shortcut be applied to a palette button?

Specifically, I would like to be able to be able to highlight some numbers (like 3/8) and use a keyboard shortcut to turn them into a true fraction. The button is the fractions button in the Open Type palette. The shortcut could be CONTROL-f, or something that would not change the highlighted text.

That's very promising — I wasn't even familiar with Character Styles.
Related questions:
• How do you remove the font and size, etc. in the Character Style?
• Is it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut (other than F keys with or without modifiers) to an action?
• Is it possible to record a complex action?
      Assign Character Style
      Left Arrow
      Delete
      Escape
The reason for this is to clean up a whole number plus a fraction (i.e.    3 3/8 )
I use a dimensioning plug-in (CADTools) and that's how fractional measurements are noted. I always clean them up manually, but it takes a lot of keystrokes to do it!
Thanks for the help.

Difficulty in applying paragraph tags in FM9

Ok, i create a new tag from Heading1 and type some text and go to paragraph catalog and click in the new tag--no problem--text is changed. Now i go down to some other text and using the paragraph catalog and select it and the text does not change . Why not? What's going on? Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, I've seen similar behavior on rare
occasions. Selecting the whole paragraph and clicking on default font in
the character catalog got things working again, so that clicking in the
paragraph catalog would change the paragraph tag. I'm not sure why this
happened. Perhaps there was a character tag accidentally assigned to the
whole paragraph that was acting as an override and kept the new
paragraph tag from working.
Also be sure you have all four FM9 updates installed.

How can I move pictures to different folders while browsing in fast-preview (space)? Can I make any keyboard-shortcuts to move or tag a photo while looking at the pictures in this mode?

When I look at the thumbnails in finder, I press enter to look at the picture. And I scroll down to look at the other pictures. I want to move or delete the images when I look at them this way... Any suggestions? I would think that there was a program for this...?
Thanx in advance!

GraphicConverter can do that.
When you drop a folder full of image files onto GraphicConverter, it automatically opens them all in a catalog-style window. You can then select each in turn and use keyboard shorcuts to move the selected one to a target folder of your choice. I believe you can have up to 30 different target folders preset for this purpose.
GC also provides a host of other file manipulation features.

Keyboard shortcuts for tags not working

I'm working on a WWII documentary and using Prelude to assign lots of markers, including tags for historical figures who appear very frequently in the WWII newsreels such as "Rommel" and "Hitler"
Not sure why, but when I assign any keyboard shortcut for a custom tag, the shortcut doesn't work, please see here:
I decided to assign "3" for the Hitler tag, but any shortcut I assign for any tag, just doesn't work. Yet it seems that you can assign keyboard shortcuts even for tags, and the Prelude help manual says you can:

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

Finder Label or Tag Keyboard Shortcut

ive found out a solution to do something i always had a question about. here is a way to set a keyboard shortcut to label or tag an item in Finder.
open Automator and create a new Service.
set your input to be files or folders in Finder.
drag in the action Label Finder Items and choose the color. Save the Service.
open system preferences, go to keyboard, select keyboard shortcuts, and choose Services.
scroll down to find the labeling service you created and assign a key command to it.
select some files and folders and start key commanding your labels and tags.
each color will need its own service from automator.

Cool!!! Ive been trying to do this since I started with Mavericks. Saw several descriptions of how-to-do, and none worked. Your description was the first that worked for me. Thanks!

Moving/copying custom keyboard shortcuts

Hi,
I have PremierPro CS5 running on a MACBook Pro. I have created a load of custom keyboard shortcuts and basically want to copy this file over to another edit machine I work on.
is this possible!.
thanks in advance
Russel

Yes, I'm aware of these keyboard shortcuts to move the cursor around and for selecting text. But I want to move the actual paragraphs around. So if I have 5 paragraphs, I want to use keyboard shortcuts to more paragraph 3 in front of paragraph 1. Not by selecting the text, cutting the text, moving the curser, and pasting the text.
In OpenOffice I could set a keyboard shortcut (CtrlShift^) to move the current paragraph above or below the surrounding paragraphs. Is this possible?

Keyboard shortcuts to indivudual CSS styles

Hello!
I have a css style I would like to use through a keyboard
shortcut
I tried the following:
* assign a keyboard shortcut to this style through the
keyboard shortcut menu (CSS-styles section), but there the
individual CSS styles do not show.
* record a command (from the history steps) that assigns
this style and then assign a keyboard shortcut to this new
command from the
commands manu - but user defined commands do not appear
there. in the shortcut assigning
menu
Is there something I did not try and will give me the desired
shortcut?
Thanks

So - I don't think you can apply a custom class with a
keyboard shortcut.
Frankly, if you have zillions of times you have to do this on
a page, then
you are not using CSS most efficiently anyhow.

Keyboard shortcut for favorites tags

How do I apply the favorite tags in PE5 with a keyboard shortcut.
in previous versions, I would press Ctrl-1 to apply the tag.

Just hit the number key - no CTRL.

How to apply different keyboard shortcuts to an actions with the same name but in different menus within one application?

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help. I have the application "djay" and in two different menus there is the action "Eject". I was wondering if it's possible to apply different keyboard shortcuts to those actions with the same name? I can't see how to do it as it seems you can only write the action but as there are two it doesn't seem to work for me.
For example:
djay>Table-1>Eject - ⌘⇧1
djay>Table-2>Eject - ⌘⇧0
Thanks in advance for any help!!

A NodeList doesn't only contain 1 element. In your example it contains ALL <Data> elements inside the document.
NodeList nodes = document.getElementsByTagName("Data");
System.out.println(nodes.getLength() + " \"Data\"-elements found");
for(int i=0; i<nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Node node = nodes.item(i);
}

Paragraph tags not applied correctly

Hi,
I’m importing an FM document into RH (Technical
Communication Suite). I fixed all the paragraph definitions and the
mappings.
After importing, the same paragraph tags are sometimes
applied correctly and sometimes not. Most problematic are the ones
that come right after a paragraph that has a bullet or number
setting. It seems as though the following paragraph sometimes has a
bullet or number even though you can’t see it.
If I reapply the paragraph tag it doesn’t help, but if
I apply a different one and then the original one I wanted –
it works OK.
Is there a workaround? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Rakefet

Have you updated lately? I applied RoboHelp patch 7.0.2 and
it fixed may random isses that I was having. Also I would recommend
mapping all numbered and bulleted lists to Normal to have them
appear correctly. Also don't forget to check Convert AutoNumber to
HTML list on the Style Setting window.

Keyboard shortcuts for functions inside paragraph styles panel possible?

I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for functions inide the paragraph styles panel in PS CS6.
It seems that no option to do this is exposed - ist this correct?

That's an interesting approach and it made me aware about menu item insertation - but unfortunately none of the suggested works.
Clear overrides when executed by button can work both on selections of text and on complete text blocks, the recorded version of
pressing the button disregards that there's a selection and therefore only works globally. The menu insertation method can not deal
with existing selections either - it's entry is greyed out in the actions panel when portions of the text are selected.
