Keyboard Shortcuts - Bridge CS3

Hello,
I am trying to figure out what my keyboard shortcuts are for Bridge CS3 on a Windows machine. That is the set up I am working on currently for a contract job.
Primarily, I am trying to find a quick way to navigate and modify multiple file names (I basically need to remove the first 3 to 5 characeters of the filename) with out having to right-click and choose rename on all of them. I found the keyboard shortcut for Rename to be space bar, however, that doesn't seem to do anything for me. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or need to enable a preference, etc. I run Bridge CS4 on my own Mac machines so I'm not familiar with the variations on the Windows version.
Any info would be great!!
Thanks!
Stef

This is not something I am familar with, but guess no one else is either.
On your Mac do you have a shortcut to do what you want? If so then a Win machine can do the same thing I would suspect.
If you are looking for some auto process to scrub the first characters then you may have to employ a script. Here again I know nothing of scripts. But visit the Bridge Script froum and they can probably fix you right up.

CS3 Bridge - Filter keyboard shortcuts on in Default Workspace?

Here's a annoying differences I notice between CS2 & CS3 Bridge, or am I missing something related to Filter keyboard shortcuts in CS3 Bridge?
I'm used to using keyboard shortcuts to filter the Bridge Contents window, i.e. pressing Command+Option+1 to show just 1-star rated files. But this kind of keyboard shortcut only works when the Filter tab is visible, as in the Default Workspace view. If I in the Thumbnail workspace view none of the filter keyboard shortcuts have any effect. Must the Filter palette be visible for the shortcuts to work or am I doing something wrong?
TIA!

hi- thank you to both of you. the question is answered but i dont know what the etiquette of awarding the 'question solved' points is here. Because the question had two parts, Malcolm Rayfield answered both parts, but A.Carlo also kindly answered the second part, so i don't know how to give the points without excluding A.Carlo. but i guess if i can only give the points to one person, it should be Malcolm, since he answered both?

Import or Move Keyboard Shortcuts Etc. to CS4?

Is there a way to import or move my keyboard shortcuts from CS3 to CS4? What about layout settings etc.?
Thanks

I have migrated my keyboard settings from PPro2 to CS4 and CS5.
From PPro 2 (XP) to CS4/5 (Win 7 64)
copy file:
C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\2.0\*yourprefs.kys*
to:
C:\Users\*yourusername*\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\*yourprefs.kys*
or
C:\Users\*yourusername*\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\5.0\*yourprefs.kys*
Run Premiere, select: Edit/Keyboard Customization/ and your key settings
should appear in the Set: dropdown menu.
I have not found a way to migrate layout settings.

Disable Keyboard Shortcut for Open Adobe Bridge

Is there a way to disable the keyboard shortcut which opens Adobe Bridge from Illustrator? Often when I'm working quickly I accidentally hit this (option command o) instead of (shift command o) to outline type. It halts everything to open Bridge, which I never use, and drives me crazy. Is there any way to disable this command?
Any help would be greatly approciated!!

Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > Menu Commands > File and remove or modify the default shortcut for Bridge.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

I installed the CS3 Master Collection that included Photoshop CS3 Extended. I've used Photoshop for going on a decade and I find the CTRL+ALT+I keyboard shortcut really handly to pop open the Image Size window.
Now, in this new version (don't after a clean format, reinstall of my XP OS) the shortcut no longer works. I check and it still has CTRL+ALT+I listed next to Image Size in the drop down menu as the proper keys, but it does not work.
Anyone having this issue?

I tried resetting the preferences but to no avail.
I'm avoiding having to do an uninstall/reinstall like the plague so If I can find what's causing it and fix it manually that would be preferred.
I have thought about running the Adobe updater but I'm concerned that it may cause more problems that it would fix (as this has happed to me before with other apps). Everything else works great and this is the only issue I've noticed.
Does anyone know if the update for Photoshop CS3 Extended addressed his issue (or knows of another cause that might be behind it)?

Is there a way to move my keyboard shortcuts and preferences from CS3 to CS5?

I just loaded CS5 and I'm starting to work with it. Big difference from CS3 and I'm finding things don't work the same at all. Anything i can do to make this seem more familiar, like using the same keyboard shortcuts and workspaces?

Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

Importing keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?

Is it possible to import keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?
And how?
m

Mmh, you could possibly simply copy over the respective files from your preset directory (Documents and Settings/Matjaz/Application Data/Adobe/Photoshop CS3/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts). Not sure if it's safe, though. Never tried.

Keyboard shortcuts in Bridge CS5

Is there any way of modifying the keyboard shortcuts in Bridge or introducing new ones? Control+R opens Camera Raw hosted by Bridge; I would like to change this to open Camera Raw hosted by Photoshop, or make a new short cut to this effect, instead of using the 'Open with' menu item.

There is already a keyboard shortcut for what you want to do. Control+O opens Camera Raw hosted by Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop CS6/ Bridge & Lightroom Keyboard Shortcuts

I would be grateful if someone could direct me to a pdf list showing keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom and Bridge.
Thanks

For a reference to Adobe Photoshop's keyboard shortcuts, take a look at the new Photoshop CS6 Quick Reference Guide. It is in its beta form, but it is a great way to find shortcuts, as well as find a menu location that might have changed from CS5. We are looking for your feedback, which you can contribute on the site as well.

Any way to create a keyboard shortcut for keywords in Bridge CC?

Just curious if there's any way to create a keyboard shortcut for "new keyword" and "new sub keyword" in Bridge CC?
If not, that would be a welcome addition in any future Bridge update - being able to customize keyboard shortcuts or add your own the way you can in Premiere Pro CC.

Steve,
Not, as far as I know, directly, but the problem is with Aperture, not Keyboard Maestro. Aperture has no command (afaik) for selecting the caption field of the Info Inspector. Without a command, you will have to find another way to access it, or another way to accomplish what you want.
You can specify the spot clicked by screen coordinates, so you cold use the Inspector HUD and the coordinates of the Caption field, as long as the Inspector HUD always pops up in the same location.
Many dialog boxes allow the user to advance through the fields with the Tab key. Unfortunately, the number of times you have to type "{Tab}" in order to get to a particular field depends on other interface elements (if the Control Bar is showing, add 2). I don't know of a way to determine if the Control Bar is showing.
You might find a work-around using a Metadata Preset and the Batch Change command. Keyboard Maestro can easily pop up a dialog with a text field in which you can type what you want to go into Aperture's Caption field.
The best thing to do is download the trial version and see if it meets your needs. Keyboard Maestro is adept at creating macros based on keyboard input. If the program does not provide keyboard equivalents, writing an effective macro becomes difficult.
http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
The author provides exemplary documentation:
http://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/About_Keyboard_Maestro
Lastly, for the use you cite, I simply show the Inspector if it's not showing (by typing "i"), change to the Info tab if it is not currently activated (by clicking, but note that opening the Inspector with the Info tab selected can be done with one command "View➞Inspector➞Info"), and then clicking in the Caption field, which is part of all of the Metadata Views I regularly use.
HTH. Perhaps one of our programming mavens will suggest something better.

[BUG] Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut and does not have a custom one.

Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut which is `command + shift + [` and does not have a custom one.
I tried "delete" key which is backspace for Windows. It will do delete identical to "delete X" key (which is delete key for Windows).
Sidenote: `command + shift + \` is to go back in views (switch views), not folder structure.

Exactly where do you want to use a GO BACK "shortcut" in Bridge? Maybe I don't even understand what you mean by Go Back. Bridge is only a file browser, nothing more. It doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save files at all.
Are you simply referring to going back to view a folder that you viewed before?
Please don't take this a criticism. As someone who will gladly pay money not to have to learn any shortcuts at all, I'm just puzzled and curious, that's all.

Keyboard Shortcut trouble in Premiere Pro CS3...

"Premiere Pro Debug Event
Premiere Pro has encountered an error
[..\..\Src\ShortcutlistItem.ccp-239]"
-> see the attached file (I'm french so my Premiere runs in french)
My only choice is to clik on continue and them Premiere shuts down. No way to customize the shortcuts...
Does anyone know how to fix that bug ?
Thx for your help !

Maybe you havn't got around to re-applying the updates yet??

DW CS3 / OS 10.5 - File Palette keyboard shortcuts don't work

Frustrating - on my Dell, I can use the keyboard to
delete/confirm and open files listed in the File Palette. For
example, I can hit backspace/delete and remove a file after
confirming with an Enter. If I want to open a file, I select it and
hit enter - it opens in DW.
The problem lies with my other (preferred) computer. On my
MBPro with OS10.5 and DW CS3, none of my keyboard shortcuts work in
the same palette.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pete

When watching videos, I frequently find need to jump forward or backward within the video. I do this using the slider (playhead) on the on screen control.
The problem I have is that if I do that once, from then on, I cannot use the spacebar to play/pause the video. All I get is an annoying beep. Is there a way to reactivate the keyboard controls without having to close Quicktime and restart?
If it makes any difference, I'm running OS X 10.9 on an early 2013 MacBook Pro (15 inch, Retina display). I recently upgraded to Mavericks but the problem predates the upgrade.
What files compression formats and data rates are you using? QT X v10.3 or QT 7 v7.6.6 player? (Assume v10.3 from topic title but wanted to confirm.)
Basically, I am unable to duplicate the stated problem on an iMac using H.264/AAC test files with data rates up to 20+ Mbps in either QT player app. Do have a problem with QT 7 player app being able to "jump" to a new playhead position in high data rate files probably due to a need to read/traverse all of the intervening data. (I.e., can sometimes take several seconds to complete.)
If you feel the problem is a bug connected to your specific platform or the specific type of file you are using while operating under Mavericks, suggest you file a QT Apple Product "Bug" Feedback Report USING THIS FORM.

CS3 standardizing keyboard shortcuts and other prefs ??

Hello. I have 30+ computers that are running Indesign CS3. Instead of going around to each one and setting all keyboard shortcuts and things like default stroke weight and also prefs. like, Edit > Preferences > Advanced Type and the Small cap setting as well as others. I would like them all to start with my sites default prefs.
Where are these prefs stored. I know the keyboard shortcuts are in the Indesign Shortcut Sets folder, where are all the Edit > Preferences things stored?
If I set one to the way I want it and than copy these files to all computers will this fix my problem?
What are the files, how should I accomplish this?
thanks

Preferences for CS3 are saved in two files in the user profile. The first is InDesign Defaults, under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0 and the second is InDesign Saved Data under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Caches (these are the XP locations. paths are slightly different for Vista) These are hidden files.
The documentation says that it is not recommended to copy these files from one machine to another, and that it is recommended that you script it instead, but I've only found one user who's been able to do that, and since the script was written for a major client he hasn't been willing or able to share it with the world. I've been copying and pasting these files onto multiple machines at my school for years without any trouble, but, if there are differences in configuration from machine to machine you could cause some instabilities. Set a restore point and try it.
Unless you have a system freeze program in place, however, this is largely an exercise in futility. Preferences, as noted, are user-specific and changeable, and get written each time the application closes. The best you'll get is a common starting point.

F Keyboard shortcuts disabled on Mac OS 10.5.4 in Indesign CS3

Hi ,
I have this same problem with My Mac Laptop at Home and my Mac at work. The default F keyboard shortcuts no longer work. For example, if I wanted to bring up the paragraph styles panel which is F11 I get the volume control for the Mac. I have tried a couple of obvious fixes such as using a modifier key as suggested in the Indesign help menu and going to the system preferences of the MAC and disabling each conflicting shortcut. Neither of these approaches worked and I still get a volume control when I want a pallet or in the case of F7 (layers pallet) nothing at all.
Any suggestions short of creating my own shortcuts?
Thanks

Um, this is the Windows forum. Even if you are running on parallels or Boot Camp, you'll probably find more help for Mac configuration problems on the Mac side.
