Keyboard shortcut to place cursor in Effects and Presets search box?

Hi!
Is there is a keyboard shortcut that will place the cursor in the search box of the Effects and Presets panel?  Ctrl + 5 activates the panel, but I still need to click to get the cursor into the search box and be able to type my search. I have RSI and am trying to learn to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible. My system is AE CS6 on Windows. I've searched the help reference on keyboard shortcuts and haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks in advance,
Lori

Too funny...I just found my own two-year-old question while Googling to find the solution (again).  Is there a shortcut (or a way to create one) that will let me place the cursor in the search box of the effects and presets panel? I'm now on CC 2014, and still hate having to reach for my mouse every time I use the search. I can't believe I'm the only person who would love this shortcut...

  • Why does the keyboard shortcut on the bookmarks ctrl end and ctrl home to go up and down the bookmarks only work "sometimes"

    Why does the keyboard shortcut on the bookmarks ctrl end and ctrl home to go up and down the bookmarks only work "sometimes"

    Is the problem on the Bookmarks menu, on the Bookmarks drop-down list (from one of your toolbars), in the Bookmarks sidebar, or in the Library dialog used to organize bookmarks?
    Do Home and End (without the Ctrl key) work any better/differently?

  • Effects and presets

    Animation presets in After Effects using the Effects & Presets panel.
    I use After Effects CS6 and try to make a animation preset and get this message:
    After Effects warning: Adobe Bridge is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature.
    I am new to After Effects, but does this mean, that I have to purchase Bridge to use any animation presets ?
    Are there no built in Animation Presets in the After Effects CS6 ?
    I have ticked in the Show Animation Presets, but I still can not find any.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Chears.

    If you have not installed Bridge or it is out of date, you can find animation presets in the Effects and Presets panel. Just search snow there and you'll find:
    By the way, any animation presets you create will be also available here if you store them in the default directory. Custom animation presets will not have a preview mode in Bridge. In my entire 20 years of using AE I probably have browsed animation presets about 5 times using Bridge. I know some prefer that method, but I find the Effects & presets panel much more useful.

  • RE: How To Get  More Effects, And Presets

    Hello Everyone.
    How can I get more Effects, And Presets for Premiere Pro CC.
    Is It free, or we have to purchase them ?
    Thanks.

    Search for them . Google "Premiere plugins"
    Some are free and some are for purchase.
    You cant buy presets. Maybe you can swap them with someone but I dont know how.

  • Index & Search Tabs have garbage characters and no search box

    Index and Search Tabs have numbers in place of the "search"
    box. Although, the generated view looks perfect, the file
    (WHLST10.htm) contains the same numbers and missing search box. I
    am using X5 version. I import a MS Word file without an index and
    am not selecting "Convert Index" on Conversion Options. Have also
    removed "Auto-create styles from inline formatting" and "Convert
    references into hyperlinks." Still getting same result. View

    Hi STCSherri and welcome to our community
    I'm guessing that you have either enabled the Section 508
    check box or you have opted for the "Pure HTML" output. Both of
    these settings are found in your Single Source Layouts pseudo
    folder. Expand that folder, then right-click the layout and select
    Properties from the context menu.
    The first dialog you see should have a check box labeled
    "Section 508 Compliant Output". If that check box is not selected,
    click the Next > button twice. You should be at the WebHelp
    Options - WebHelp screen. In the "Navigation Pane Preferred Format"
    area, where is the option configured? My guess is that it's "Pure
    HTML". Try changing to perhaps DHTML > Pure HTML.
    If all your options appear to be correctly configured and you
    are STILL seeing the odd behavior, I would then ask which browser
    and version you are using to display your help.

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work in CS4 and Leopard

    Got a new Mac Pro so the OS is Leopard, I had F-keys assigned to open menus etc., and they are no longer working, e.g., I had F 10 assigned to Image Size, now it turns the mute on and off.
    How do I get it back to the previous behavior?
    TIA,
    Geoff

    No doubt it's the new aluminum keyboard (which I love), that's tripping you up. There are a couple of ways to address it.
    Go into the Keyboard preferences and place a check for the
    i Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys
    (i.e., the "old way")
    You can then assign different keys for system level control in Keyboard shortcuts tab.
    Alternatively, you can leave it unchecked - in PS, press and hold the
    b fn
    key (next to the home key), before using your standard F key shortcuts. The fn key is basically a temporary "toggle" to switch the focus between system and application. So, pressing fn before hitting F10 will not mute the system sound, but carry out whatever PS shortcut you have assigned.

  • In Mail.app, what is the shortcut to place cursor in the search mail field

    What is the shortcut for putting the cursor next to the magnifying glass. Cmd + 'F' brings up Find which is different thing. Spotlight shortcuts bring up the two ways to access Spotlight. Not what I want. Don't even know what this search-my-emails field is called.

    Hello wideEyedPupil,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The shortcut for selecting the Mail search bar is Command-Option-F.

  • Custom Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working In Layer Style / Blending Options Dialogue Box (Mac OS 10.6.8)

    In the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, my custom Keyboard Shortcuts to zoom in and out of the image is no longer working. Cmd+opt+shift+1 acts as cmd+1 (jumps to Drop Shadow), and cmd+opt+shift+0 acts as cmd+0 (jumps to Stroke). Outside of this box the commands seem to be working fine.
    Example 1: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+1.
    Result 1: The dialogue box shift focus to the Drop Shadow Options instead of the image zooming in to 100%.
    Expected Result 1: The image should zoom to 100%.
    Example 2: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+0.
    Result 2: The dialogue box shift focus to the Stroke Options instead of the image zooming to “Fit on Screen”.
    Expected Result 2: The image should zoom to “Fit on Screen”.
    This same thing happened in the CS5 Beta, and it was quickly fixed, so I hope this is not a complicated issue.
    Thanks, and keep up the wonderful work!

  • How can I get the awesome bar back. In v. 31 I have lost it and my search box has no search engines. I did use the classic restorer back a few versions, but I d

    This might be a duplicate-I neglected to click submit-so am trying again.
    Since I upgraded to v. 31, my location bar makes me type the address in exactly, or else it says not a valid address. I guess somewhere the awesome bar got lost. Also, my search box does not have any search engines listed at all. Back around v. 29 I added the classic theme restorer addon, but did not think that would have affected the location and search bars as it upgraded. Any help you can give me will really be appreciated. I have worked on this for days. At one, time the location bar was gone completely.
    Thanks in advance!

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Firefox(20.0.1) is ignoring my proxy server for google searches from website and the search box. It works for all other search engines and chrome/safari.

    firefox(20.0.1)
    squid (port 3128) and dansguardian (port 8080) not running in transparent mode.
    I am applying blacklists and a custom url regex to apply "safe=vss", this works for all browsers and all search engines except firefox using google search engine.
    Search engines tested (bing, yahoo, norton, ask, amazon, avg, ebay) - all work.
    Links from the search results are blocked by content filter, but search results still appear and google images are still shown. This does not happen in Chrome(23.0.1271.97), IE9(9.0.8), Opera(12.14) or Safari(5.1.7) with the same settings.
    No log entry appears in Dansguardian access.log implying proxy settings are being ignored for just this combination.

    I can't think of a reason that one particular webpage would behave differently from all the others, i.e., if you are starting at google.com and running a search using the form in the page, I'm not aware of any reason for Firefox to handle that specially just because it's Google.
    Does it make a difference if you disable JavaScript when using Google? If that yields the results you expect, perhaps Google's XMLHttpRequest AJAX traffic is bypassing your filters?
    The search bar has its own code, so someone would need to look at that to see whether/why it bypasses your proxy if the above hypothesis does not apply.

  • On version 19 which just downloaded why doesn't the primary search box doesn't work when all other search functions (address box and upper search box) do?

    The primary search box in the center screen does not respond to any search input.
    In contrast:
    (1) the https:// address box responds immediately and normally when input is provided and the curved arrow tapped,
    (2) the upper search box in line with the address line works normally also when a search inquiry is provided and the magnifying glass tapped, and
    (3) all bookmarks work normally as they had previously prior to Firefox upgrading to 19.
    Everything seems normal with the exception of the center search box and the search command.

    I have tried all the so-called fixes listed here, but since downloading version 19, I can't get the search box to work. If I go through and try the fixes here, it works until I shut it down, and then I have to go through all these steps again. Trying to get someone to help is virtually impossible, and I am getting to the point where I will uninstall Firefox and use IE, as I have no other choice!

  • 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!

    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.
