Keyboard Shortcut to cycle windows?

I just wipped my iBook and reinstalled X.4, but now one of the shortcuts I use all the time isn't working. <Apple> ~ usually cycles through open windows of an applicaiton, but now it just beeps at me when I do it. Was there a setting I changed originally that is now preventing me from cycling because everything is back to its default state?
Thanks

As far as I know that is the default setting. Check under the keyboard and mouse preferences.

How do I change the keyboard shortcut for Cycle through open documents in PS CC for Mac?

Sorry to bug the community with such a seemingly inconsequential task, but I am seriously tired of using the awkward default keyboard shortcut for cycling through open docs in PS. I'd like to change it to what I am used in in Chrome, which is Cmd+Option+[left] or {right} arrow keys. I noticed this is not a command listed in the in keyboard shortcuts, for whatever reason. Where on Earth can I change this?
If it is not possible to do it by default, is there a plug-in or a change to the code that will allow this basic functionality?
Thanks again guys and gals!

As far as I know, you can't. It's "hard wired" in. Not even Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts is allowed to change it.
However I did find this tip:
Anyway i never found tabs in Adobe application useful, instead i prefer the old school method: simply switch off tabs feature via illustrator/ preferences/ user interface/ open documents as tabs. Then in Mac preferences panel, under keyboard, just search for the “focus on next application window” field (under menu, keyboard and text) and assign a shortcut if the default option doesn't fit you. And there is now you can easily switch between open documents!.
The best part of this is that it can be used in all mac applications, not only Adobe ones. And remember, if you want this working on Indesign, Photoshop, etc be aware of first switch off the tab features so that the system could “see” multiple documents opened not only one single tabbed document.

How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
Many thanks!
Amadeus

Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

ITunes 11: still not working keyboard shortcuts in separate window video playback

In separate window video playback, Keyboard Shortcuts setting up in Preferences is not working.

Cmd + 1 = Music
Cmd + 2 = Movies
Cmd + 3 = TV Shows
Cmd + 4 = Podcasts
Cmd + 5 = iTunes U
Cmd + 6 = Books
Cmd + 7 = Apps

Why are the keyboard shortcuts for new window and new tab (N) and (W) instead of (W) and (T) when I right-click on bookmarks in my toolbar?

If I right click on a link in a page, the context menu allows me to open a new tab if I hit t on my keyboard and a new window if I hit w. In the bookmarks menu, these shortcuts change to w and n respectively. Hitting t results in deletion of the bookmark. Can this be changed so it is consistent with the in-page context menu?

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

What's a simple keyboard shortcut to change windows..?

Hi everyone,
I'm using a Swiss keyboard and am trying to figure out if there is a simple shortcut for switching Safari windows. I've finally figured out the shortcut for changing tabs (Command-Shift-left or right arrow) but changing windows still eludes me.
thanks for any help,
paul

No, it's not the key (nor the method to make the symbol) which makes it work but your mentioning the Keyboard System Preference turned a light bulb on for me. I went through the list of Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences and found that Command-< was the shortcut to move focus to next window in active application. Thanks..

Keyboard shortcut for changing window/tab

Hi
Hope you're well. This is odd that I've not been able to find this anywhere.
In Flash CS5 (Mac OS). Window menu... right at the bottom it lists the windows you've got open with a number in front ie:
1 project.fla
2 class.as
3 interface.as
Now... if I click (with the mouse) to focus (activate) the window menu and press a number key corresponding to a window in the list, Flash kindly takes me to that window.
Q: What is the 100% keyboard shortcut way to do this?
I've had a go at wading in and just pressing keys... as my last-but-one strategy for finding this out. My last strategy being "ask". :-)
Cheers.

Cheers Nivesh
That's such a boon, cool.
Just to clarify for everyone, Mac Keyboard, it's the command and tilde key ( ~ ), but not using shift, Nivesh is correct. I had difficulty deciding whether it was the aposthrophy - my eyesight....
Thanks again.

Keyboard shortcuts (vs. Windows)

In the now locked "Better than Windows" thread in the Tiger Installation & Setup forum, Wade Peeler commented as follows:
The fact that you can't restore a minimized
application via the keyboard is an oft-requested
feature ...
Unless I'm missing something, you can do this using the Control + F3 key procedure I outlined in a post to that thread. I'm discovering it's actually a very well thought out feature:
• Even if you have Dock hiding turned on, the keystroke combo pops it up.
• Whatever was last selected by this method is retained as the initially selected item, even if you have used the pointer to select another Dock item or otherwise switched to another application.
• The arrow keys select among apps & are smart enough to honor the vertical or Dock options -- navigate through horizontal Docks with the left & right keys & through vertical ones with the up & down keys -- just as you would intuitively expect.
To select any Dock item, you just press Return.
{infomercial voice-over} But wait, there's more! {/infomercial voice-over}
• Say you don't just want to restore an application minimized in the Dock, but instead want to access the docked item's pop up contextual menu. Once you select it with the arrow keys, instead of hitting the return key, hit an arrow key that points in the direction that the menu would pop up in (up/down for horizontal Docks & left/right for vertical ones). The menu then pops up & once again you use the arrow keys to select any menu item you want from the list.
• If the contextual menu has a sub-menu, you can continue to navigate in this fashion with the arrow keys: if left arrow moves you into the sub-menu, right arrow moves you back to its parent.
• If you decide to bail out of the feature without activating anything with the return key, either hit Control + F3 again or the Escape key, & you are retuned to where you were before.
• Since the Dock can hold just about anything, the possibilities are almost limitless. For instance, I keep a folder in the Dock that is just a collection of folders containing aliases, organized by functional groups: favorite utilities, video apps, games, & so on. Since the actual folder lives in my Home Folder & contains nothing but aliases, I can name any of the items as I like & control their order in the popup menus & submenus with prefixes (like a "•" to move something to the top of the list). Moreover, some of these aliases are to files that launch apps via a setup file in a particular state (like a SuperDuper backup settings file). Since I'm an AppleScripter, a few of them perform complex actions, complete with state-dependent tests & logical branching. If you wanted to, you could even put an alias of your startup drive in the Dock, & navigate through the entire file system this way!

Hi J,
running Windows on your MBP is like running Windows on any given computer, so all the well known keyboard shortcuts will work according to Windows standards.
Whether your wireless Windows keyboard will work with the MBP merely depends if you can sync it with your MBP.
There have been numerous posts round here, that are mentioning that at least with the Wireless Apple keyboard there are quite some difficulties maintaining a stable connection.

How do I set up Keyboard shortcuts to match Windows Excel?

At work I use MS Excel on Windows and I use the keyboard shortcuts a lot.
eg. Alt+= for sum the cells above
Alt+I, Alt+R for insert a row
Alt+D for downfill
How do I set this up on iWork numbers?
Also, where could I go to find out how to do this on MS Excel 2008 for Mac?
Thanks,

As Yvan said, it is in the help files. The procedure is
1) Open System Preferences and navigate to the Keyboard section then keyboard shortcuts.
2) Hit the + to add a new shortcut
3) Having it apply to All Applications is the default. You may want to use that because otherwise you'll have to do this once for Numbers and once for Excel. On the other hand, it might screw up an existing shortcut in another application if you are using a key combination assigned to something else in that application.
4) Type in the menu title EXACTLY as it is in the menu. Capitalization and punctuation are important. You don't need to put Insert/Function/Sum, just Sum.
5) Choose a key combination. Note that some key combinations cannot be reassigned. For instance, Alt+ (actually this is Option=) does not work; it inserts a not equal to symbol. Nor does Command+ (Command=) because it is assigned by Numbers to something else. Control+ will work. You can, however, make a different shortcut for the existing Command= shortcut (Format/Font/Bigger) so there is no conflict.
6) Click Add.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS using MS Windows on Apple Airbook

I use MS Windows on a Mac Airbook runnig Mountain Lion.
The Airbook keyboard lacks the convenience of a PC keyboard as it lacks a Page Up / Page Down and End keys.
Are there keyboard shortcuts which will give me this functionality?
I would particularly like to be able to move to the beginning and end of a document.
It would also be helpful to be able to Copy part of it, to the beginning or end of a document.

I'm new to Mac having just got the new 27" IMac last month and have driven myself crazy with the same issue, cursing leaving PC. This Mac came with the small keyboard so no number pad no Home or End button. In Googling and reading through forums it appeared the only answer was to purchase a full size Mac keyboard which only made me grumble more about Macs. I tried every combo I thought should work to no avail. What I did find is that holding down Command, Fn and the down arrow took me to the next page. And Command, Fn up arrow paged up..so there's your page up and down. I finally called the "genius" bar yesterday and the guy was as perplexed as I was after trying several different combos to get the cursor to go to Home and End of my 125 page word document. Now I know why they are called the "genius" bar!!! Not one to give up (either of us) he finally hit the jackpot by having me hold down Command, FN and right arrow (I know, right???!!!) and it took me to the bottom of the last page. Command, FN and left arrow takes me to the top of first page..so there's your Home and End and I shall now live happily ever after!! (And I rescinded all of the 4 letter words I had spew about Macs) :D

XFCE4+ other windowmanager: no keyboard shortcuts until 1st window

Hello,
this is really a minor issue, but nonetheless, I would be interested in a solution:
When I use XFCE4 with another windowmanager than xfwm4 (so kwin or compiz), keyboard shortcuts (assigned in xfce4-settings) only work after at least one window is open. I also tried assigning keyboard shortcuts via kde-systemsettings or ccsm (Compiz-config-settings-manager), but it's the same for them: No window, no shortcuts.
As I said, the issue is minor as the workaround is: "open a window!" (so I do now with a terminal at session startup), but does anyone know a solution anyhow?

Solution for Studio 2 AND Studio 3:
1) Each time you start your computer, go to System Settings - International
2) Change the language from your language to English
3) Change the language from English to your language
4) Start FCP
5) Your shortcuts and the FCP shortcuts work OK
You have to do this each time you restart the computer. People working with the English language setting don't have this problem.
This bug is about 2 years old. Shame on Apple for not solving the problem!!!

Is there a keyboard shortcut for cycling/toggling between layers in Illustrator CC?

I'm trying to improve my workflow by finding/customizing a key command to cycle through my layers panel without clicking in Illustrator CC. In Photoshop, this command is super easy: opt + [ or ], while moving a layer above the selected one is command + [ or ]. Does anyone know if this is possible in CC? I'm reading it was in CS6 as ctrl + [ or ], but that isn't working for me.

by cycling, do you mean "highlighting" ("activating") layers?
