Keyboard Shortcut to Get Home

I have discovered that pressing Shift Command - H in iTunes will take me from my iTune's listings to the iTunes Home Page (this shortcut doesn't appear to be listed in Apple's online reference to iTunes keyboard shortcuts).
Now I'm wondering if anyone knows a keyboard shortcut to get from the iTune Store back to my iTunes listings?

Going from 10.5 to 10.6 is not removing functionality, it is adding functionality.
Are you using 10.6.x and can't use that command to get to the search field?
If so, try checking the Keyboard Shortcuts in Keyboard System Prefs and see if you've somehow got cmd+opt-F mapped to something else.

How do I set keyboard shortcut for 'Get Mail'?

Went to system preferences - keyboard - shortcuts - App shortcuts and added Mail.app
Get Mail cmd G
However, it doesn't work. It just makes a nasty noise when I'm in mail and use the shortcut.

The command is Get New Mail. It already has a keyboard shortcut, Shift-Command-N. Command-G is already used for Find Next (i.e., find the next occurrence of a find text).

Assigning Global Keyboard Shortcut to Display Home Folder

Hi there,
I've done some hunting to determine if there is a way to assign a global keyboard shortcut to display a finder window displaying one's home folder contents. I don't see how I can do it using "Keyboard Shortcuts" in system preferences. Does anyone know if there is a way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

you can't make a keyboard shortcut like that that will work from any application using keyboard system preferences.
You can do it with a 3rd party app as follows.
paste the following into script editor and save it as a script or an application.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
make new Finder window
open home
activate
end tell</pre>
then use a 3rd part application launcher to bind a global shortcut to it. Try Quicksilver, Butler, ikeys or Quickeys for that.

Keyboard Shortcut To Get Contextual Menu

Does anyone know a way to configure a keystroke to pop up the contextual menu on the selected item instead of control-clicking?
I'm trying to eliminate as much use of the mouse as possible when interacting with my Mac.
Thanks

There actually is an answer to this--sort of. I presume you have already started investigating the System Prefs section on Keyboard & Mouse, Keyboard Shortcuts and turned on the Full Keyboard Access so you can navigate with the Keyboard.
There is in addition the Universal Access pref pane. In the Mouse section you can turn on Mouse Keys--and Control-5 is a control-click and will bring up the contextual menu. Use System Prefs Help, search on Mouse Keys for more info.
Just fooling around with this a little bit but couldn't really get the hang of moving the mouse around--it kept "popping back" to the beginning spot rather than staying somewhere (among other problems). And I couldn't figure out how to get it to work with keyboard access either. There's probably more info about this somewhere.

Keyboard shortcuts to get at the start/end of the line

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut in Numbers that will select the cell at the start of a line or its end, not only moving the screen. But there is no mention of such a shortcut in the user's guide. Did I miss something ?
Also, is there something similar for a column ?
Thanks

Hi TheMoose,
I've looked in Help > Keyboard Shortcuts, User guide, and the Numbers 291 page PDF file for those shortcut keys but cannot find them.
Let's hope someone smarter than I will jump in to assist you.
Sincerely,
RicD

The keyboard shotcut to top of page was Control+home and to bottom was control+end. Now I am running Windows 8.1 neither works. Is there a keyboard shortcut?

Untii now the keyboard shortcut to top of page was control+home and to end was control+end. Now I am running Windows 8.1 and Firefox Beta neither of these work. Neither does control++ or control+0. (They did not work before I upgraded Firefox while I was using W8.1). Is there any keyboard shortcut to get immediately to top and to end?

Home and End without the Ctrl key should be sufficient to go to the top and bottom of a page.<br />
You only need the Ctrl key if you are in a text area.
Do you otherwise have problems with scrolling a page?
Does the Ctrl key work otherwise?
Did you try a new profile?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Keyboard shortcuts and Word

I am not sure if it is OK to ask this question here, please indulge me if it isn't and tell me where to post.
I use Word 2004 on our G4; Mr H uses it on our MBP. (we have three liscence keys with our edition so all is legal)
Is there a keyboard shortcut to get to the beginning and the end of a document in Work using a keyboard shortcut on the MBP?
On the G4 if we want to move from anyplace in a document to the beginning, I hit command + home and get there; to get to the end hit command + end and get there.
On the MBP this doesn't work - the home and end keys are incorporated into the arrow keys, and the command doesn't work.
Is there another shortcut to make this happen?
Mrs H

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.

Bluetooth Keyboard shortcut for Curly Quotes?

Adobe Reader 9 keyboard shortcuts broken?

The zoom in and zoom out keyboard shortcuts (CTRL "+" and CTRL "-")that have been working since forever have now stopped working! It seems somewhat inexplicably as CTRL + NUMPAD 0 and CTRL + NUMPAD 1 now have those functions.
What is going on? What did the software designers think? Where can you customize your keyboard shortcuts to get the old, logical ones, back?
Grateful for any thoughts.

I'm quite angry, too. I used to use CTRL+1 to zoom to 100% very, very often. Now CTRL+1 zooms out and even worse, there's no new shortcut for zooming to 100%. I'm forced to switch to mouse now which costs really much time. Who came up with this stupid idea?

Create keyboard shortcuts for different mailboxes?

How can I create keyboard shortcuts to "Get Mail" from individual email accounts? (ie NOT all accounts at once). I'm sure I did it in the Panther version of Mail – by using the Keyboards Sys Pref – but I can't seem to get it to work this time...
Thanks!

System Preferences->Keyboard; Keyboard Shortcuts is the place to go to add shortcuts to any application.
Select Application Shortcuts and add yours there.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Mail won't stick

Hi. I've created a keyboard shortcut for Mail--Command-K to Get All New Mail--and changed the conflicting command (Command-K normally will Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts). It worked well when I set it up, but only once. As soon as I quit out, my Keyboard Shortcut for Get All New Mail disappeared. Meanwhile, my new keyboard shortcut for Erase Deleted Messages in All Accounts still works.
And there's more: if I reset the "Command-K to Get All New Mail" shortcut, it will work only until I quit. And that's the case with no matter what shortcut I set up for "Get All New Mail." What gives? Any suggestions?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a reply to this, since this discussion board is one of the best around. Is there a more appropriate board in this forum for me to you post this?
Thx!

Recent folder keyboard shortcut

When saving a file from any application, in the save window, what is the keyboard shortcut for getting the save dialog window to jump to the most recently used folder? You can do this with the mouse and the location pull down menu bar, but I had been using a keystroke combination in 10.3 which was very convenient and can't remember it now that I'm in 10.4.
Anyone know?

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

Cannot get Keyboard Shortcuts or create new

After updating to iOS 7.0.6 my iPhone 5S lost all keyboard shortcuts.
I am currently not able to get them from iCloud or even create new ones. After saving a new one it does not appear under the shortcuts and is not working with the keyboard.
I have tried suggestions on the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3991 as well as resetting iCloud and restarting the phone multiple times.
Any suggestions would be welcome at this point.
Thank you.

Ok, good news, here is a solution that works!!
This I have tested individually (to confim) with my 2 iphones and the iPad that wouldn't sync properly keyboard shortcuts via iCloud. You can do the below for all your device at once, too.
Go here and follow the instructions (easy): http://allezxandre.clarify-it.com/d/dhvzkz
if you backup and restore via the above method, none of your settings/apps will be deleted, everything stays intact
After restoring, turn off "Documents and Data" under your iCloud settings and hard reset devices (home + lock)
Then log into icloud.com, go to Account Settings, Advanced, click on Reset Documents and Data
Turn on "Documents and Data" in your iCloud Settings (device) and again reboot
Check "Documents and Data" setting, status may have changed (on/off)
You may have to repeat 4. and 5. - I had to with one of the iPhone as the status would have a mind of it's own, but eventually the keyboard shortcuts will be back. On all devices.
The above takes roughly an hour with all the backups, restores etc. BUT it's non intrusive, ie. your device data and settings aren't touched!

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 end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)

Page Up = Fn-UpArrow
Page Down = Fn-DownArrow
