Keyboard shortcuts: adding service to open a Terminal window not being saved

Hi
Objective: A shortcut to open a terminal window with the path of the 'in-focus' Finder window (Mavericks).
Solution (that doesn't work): Apple Menu/System Preferences/Keyboard
Select: Shortcuts
Select: Services
Check box for: New Terminal At Folder
Close System Preferences
This approach seems to be advised on quite a few sites. When I do it, the service I add simply doesn't get saved. I go back into the System Preferences and look under the path above and see that the box for New Terminal Åt Folder is unchecked.
Any help in being able to achieve my objective would be greatly appreciated :-)

Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

  • Setting Keyboard Shortcuts for Services won't work

    I've tried to set Keyboard Shortcuts for Services like "New Terminal Tab from Folder" but it won't work. I even tried it on my friend's machine to no avail.
    Here's where I'm setting it up. And yes, I've turned on the checkbox & set the shortcut I want. I've even tried a few different keyboard shortcuts that are complicated to ensure that it's not competing with something else.
    To note, I'm using TotalFinder but my friend, whose machine I tested this on, doesn't.
    We are both running 10.8.2 on the latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display, 15".

    I have a similar scenario......except my services that I created run one time, and then won't run again. 
    For example, I created a service to open a new blank email message for me to type in.  I assigned Cntl-Opt-Comm-M to this service.  I hit the key sequence and it works the first time.....the mail window pops open. 
    If I then close the mail window that it spawned and do it again, no mail window opens.
    I also did this to create a blank Calendar event and also another one for Reminders. 
    They all run one time and then not again.
    Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • 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 open a terminal window in a path currently visible in the Finder?

    I often need to open a terminal window with the current visible folder (a long, deep path) as the working directory.
    In Windows I used to have the little "Open command window here..." hack available in the context menu in Explorer.
    How can I achieve the same on OS X to avoid tediously typing the path?

    open a finder window and navigate to one-level above
    this visible folder.
    open a terminal window.
    drag the folder of interest from the finder window
    into the terminal window. now you see the whole path
    to that folder has been typed out for you....
    so, if you wanted to 'cd' into that folder in
    terminal, you'd type cd, then a space, into the
    terminal window, then drag that folder in there from
    the finder, then hit return.... viola!
    If the folder you want is already open, you can drag the icon at the top of the Finder window. You don't have to go one level up.

  • Can/Could/Why-Can't-We Open a Terminal Window from Finder...

    I do a lot of development needing a terminal window but also need to bounce about a lot between file system areas (my machine, our NFS drives in our fleet, etc.).
    It'd be nice if we could open a terminal window from Finder. I.e., If I'm in Finder and see that I need to work in the terminal window (be it with IDL*, NCL, gcc, etc) I can do a quick GUI click or keykick or whatever, and be happily dropped into a terminal window in that directory. The alternative for me now is to open Terminal from my doc and dig through the file system to my destination.
    Can I do that in Finder? I seem to remember in a past life with (ahem) an certain other "operating system" that just released their "apology" edition, that you could do this from their File Exploder. If not, gee, wouldn't that be nice to add, kids?
    Bill

    Thanks for the help on this!
    The Matt's macoshints solution (the first comment by Greg Spence, below) was simple enough and met my requirements very nicely, thanks much. (the script is below)
    tell application "Finder"
    set myWin to window 1
    set theWin to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
    tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    tell window 1
    do script "cd " & theWin & ";ls -al | more"
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    It worked on the local mac, my unix nsf drives, and the samba drives to which I am connected.
    I also tried the cd-to script but as I use tcsh it was not working for me. Other potential users have apparently cited the problem as well (nice simple icon graphic for the finderbar though).

  • Opening a Terminal window in AppleScript

    Hello, I am having dificulties getting a terminal window to open from an AppleScript. I recently upgraded from OS X SnowLeopard to Lion. Under SnowLeopard the following AppleScript would activate Terminal and open a Terminal window:
    tell application "Terminal"
           activate
    end tell
    However, now that I am using Lion, when I run the above script Terminal will activate but a Terminal window does not open. Does anybody know how to modify this script so that Terminal activates and a Terminal window opens? Thanks George

    Hello, I figured out the answer. I just needed to tell the applescript to open a new window using the system events command. Here is the revised script:
    tell application "Terminal"
           activate
          tell application "System Events" to keystroke "n" using {command down}
    end tell
    Thanks, George

  • Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

    Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
    There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
    Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
    Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

    as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

  • IPhoto won't open due to the not being updated but when I check to upgrade to iPhoto 11 it tells me it is installed. The photos in the library were modified using 9.1.5 and the iPhoto is said to be 7.1.5 (iPhoto 8). Any ideas?

    iPhoto won't open due to the not being updated but when I check to upgrade to iPhoto 11 it tells me it is installed. The photos in the library were modified using 9.1.5 and the iPhoto is said to be 7.1.5 (iPhoto 8). Any ideas?

    How do you know the library was modified with iPhoto 9 (11)?  If you've never had iPhoto 9 on your Mac it could'nt have.  It sounds like a damaged library. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I am having a persistent problems with the application tabs i pin not being saved. sometimes, they are not present when i re-open the browser.

    i have 3 sites i have repeatedly saved as an app tab. on the rare occasions i exit my browser, my pinned tabs are missing. furthermore, when i attempt to "restore previous session", the tabs that were open may be restored but the pinned tabs are ALWAYS missing and never restored.

    ''app-tabs not being saved...'''
    Be sure you close Firefox properly File (or "Firefox") > Exit not with the "x" in the upper right corner.
    Just because app-tabs will carry over from one session to another does not mean that they are fool proof or should be relied on., I keep mine in a bookmarks folder and replenish app-tabs from there when needed. It is also nice to have the "Tab Handler" to work with tabs and change all or a selection of tabs to app-tabs at once.
