Keyboard shortcut to open new Tab in Terminal.app
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to open new tabs with keyboard shortcuts in Terminal.app
Opening the default profile is not a problem (command-T), but how can I get to the non-default profiles? Assigning keyboard shortcuts in the System Preferences doesn't seem to work.
Maybe something like a Quicksilver Trigger? Applescript? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Koinseb

Run commands in new tab in Terminal.app
hello, i want to know is there a way to run commands and these opens a new tab in terminal.app.
i know i can open a new tab with cmd+t , but i have a folder with hundreds of files with the name [email protected] and each file has the string ssh://username@server...
i use these folder in the dock like a bookmark of servers that i administrate, if i set that ssh default is the app iTerm.app then every of these file i execute opens in a new tab of iTerm, but if i set ssh default to Terminal.app for every file open a new windows of Terminal.
I would like to use Terminal.app if somebody help to find a way to open these conections in a new tab.
You can try to open the terminal.app, them in safari type ssh://localhost... and you see a new window of terminal.
Sorry for my bad english
Regards
Diego.I wonder if you're too tied to one solution. I do a very, very similar thing to what you're doing, except that I support 900 or so machines (I work for a hosting provider -- so, I'm not kidding.. promise!).
The basics of my setup are as such:
I have the host names of all the servers in a text file. In my .bash_profile I have a routine that loops through each server name and, if needed, generates a bash script named for the server in a directory I've set up in my path (~/bin/hosts). That file has the command string for ssh that I use to connect to the server in it. For example, for a server named 'foo', I'd have a file named '~/bin/hosts/foo', and the contents would look something like this:
ssh -X username@foo
This is the part I really like. I create each one as it's own bash script so that it can be found and indexed by spotlight, which I use as my app launcher. So, once each script has been created, all I have to do is cmd-space (to open spotlight) then type in the server name to continue. This works great except that it opens a new window every time. So annoying. As of today, though, I now have a new bash script:
tab ssh -x username@foo
A very small change, but with a huge effect. The other change is that I put the "tab" subroutine in a bash script in my path as well. So, now when it launches the ssh command it's in a new tab. Exactly as I wanted.
I'm hoping this will help you. Even if not, though, try to remember to keep an open mind. I know the "url" scheme you're using works well, but I actually prefer my way (of course.. I made it up ). Whichever way you go, I wish you the best of luck.
Cheers,

Since the 3.6.23 update, I can't open new Tabs manually, but apps can. What happened?
If I click on the new-Tab "+" nothing happens. If I select New Tab from the File menu or type Ctrl-T, nothing happens. But apps opening new windows (in prefs, I ask they open new windows as Tabs), new Tabs appear as usual.
I've checked my Options, nothing seems to preclude manually opening new Tabs, so I'm at a loss.This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbTRL2/3.12.2.16749

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app
Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
The + sign just closes the app every single time!
In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
If there is:
See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue. -
How do I set a keyboard shortcut to open a new terminal window?
Service -> Keyboard Shortcuts allows me to open the first one, but I would like a keyboard shortcut to open new windows as well.

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! -
Let's say I'm currently on page X, and the previous page I came from was page Y. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open page Y in a new tab right next to the tab with page X?
Currently my only solution is to hold down cmd (for mac) and click the back arrow button, but again, I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut. I know CTRL + T opens up the same page in a tab right next to the current one, but I have to wait for it to load then press backspace to go back one page.Hello marsfoxbeta, command + shift + T

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the presently open web page in another tab? It used to be Ctrl + N. This shortcut now opens a Tab with the home page instead of duplicating the web page I'm on.
Firefox has always opened new tabs in a blank page, so I'm guessing that the way you had it before was added by an extension.
If you to to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, are there any extensions disabled?
In any case, you can still do this with a mouse shortcut. Hold down the Ctrl key as you drag a tab to an empty area on the tab bar. -
I used the same installation file, but on 1 pc, the 'open new tab' button is available in the 'customize toolbar' menu and can be dragged and dropped onto the navigation bar. On the other pc, the 'open new tab' button/icon is not even available for dragging and dropping. I uninstalled firefox completely, including settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that did not correct the missing button.
Hi,
Please try '''Restore Default Set''' in the '''Customize...''' window. If it's still not visible, one reason could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar but may be hidden behind another icon or toolbar.

As recently as yesterday, I have noticed that when I go to open a new tab in a firefox window, instead of opening a new one, the screen goes white.
And then when I press "open new tab" again, a new one opens, but but instead of the first one staying on the website that was open when I went to open a new tab, the window is blank.
Is there anyway I can fix this issue? It's quite annoying to have to go back to the websites I wanted and press the "open new tab" button twice.
I've also tried with control + T but the problem still occurs.
I've included some screenshots to show it: http://imgur.com/jaJviRu,z4EeWe8,xI2yYKB
I'd appreciate any help.'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).

The open new tab (+ sign button) unexpectedly stopped working when I click on the + sign why?
The + sign button that opens a new tab (called Untitled) stopped working. When I go to File, and click on New Tab, that does not work either. I checked the Options and made sure the "Open new window in new tab instead was checked. I tried System Restore, and I downloaded and installed Firefox 5.0. The + sign still does not work. This problem in on my desktop. I checked my laptop and the open new tab + sign button is working fine. What is happening?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Safari opens new tabs extremely slow
My post is very similar to this one.
Since I got Safari 4, opening new tabs has been painful when having Safari open (in the background) for a longer period of time.. When starting Safari and doing stuff with tabs, no problem! However, after a couple of days, when I press +t to get a new tab, I have to wait (spinning wheel of death) 4 to 60 seconds for the new tab to appear.. This hangs my complete OS, not just Safari!
I am having this same problem on: Mac Mini early 2009 with Leopard + Safari 4, Macbook Pro Early 2008 (first penryn), Leopard and Snow Leopard with Safari 4, and now on my new MBP (mid 2009) Snow Leopard with Safari 4...
It is reaaallllly annoying (since opening tabs should be fast), and I suspect this has to do with the fact that I have 'Top Sites' as default page (Top Sites displays when I open up a new tab)...
I've turned that off now, to see if I still experience slowdowns, but this would mean loss of a great feature that I really like..
Please reply / post if you need more infoFirst of all, you don't need to use Top Sites as your default page; change that to an Empty Page and leave it that way. If you want to access Top Sites, there's a button on your Toolbar to do that.
Next, try this to solve your other problem(s):
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved. -
Keyboard Shortcut to open Finder?
Is there a keyboard shortcut to open Finder? On my old windows machine I could press the windows key and E to open an explorer window and I used that all the time. I would love it if there was something like that for Finder. Sure I could click the icon on my dock, but I like using keyboard shortcuts as I find them faster. I know I can alt-tab, but if I have many things open then that is not fast at all. Please tell me I am not out of luck!
If you like the keyboard you will really like writing a script or using the automator, either of which are extremely easy to learn and use.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for Opening the Channels Panel?
I've googled, searched discussions, and tried recording actions but haven't found the solution.
What I'd like is a simple keyboard shortcut to open the Channels panel.
That's it.
I can create and run actions that create, delete, or move channels; use the menu or channels tab to open it -- but I can't seem to find a way to use a keystroke combination to open the channels panel like you can do for the layers (F7) or actions (F9) panels.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks!
-BonnieThank you!
Sometimes things are just simply right in front of you without being seen.
The solution was spot on. I'd somehow not 'seen' the "Application Menu" drop-down in the keyboard shortcuts dialog box.
Now back to post-processing!
Thanks again.
