Keyboard Shortcuts Conflict. Shift F6 Changed from Feather to Flip

I have been using Shift+F6 to acquire Feather in Select>Modify. Suddenly, instead of Feather, the selection flipped. A bit of mucking around found that Shift+F6 is assigned to Actions>Flip, and it makes sense because it actually is Flip Horizontal whilw Shift F7 is flip Vertical.
Checking Keyboard Shortcuts does have Shift+F6 assigned to Feather. I deleted it and tried to reassign it to Shift+F6 but Shortcuts would't allow it as Actions takes precedence.
So, I deleted it from Actions, but how did it get there? I was in the middle of setting up a new Action which did use the Feather Command but when I invoked it in the Record Mode, it flipped instead.
I do not recall having set Shift+F6 to either function. Logically, it seems to belong to Actions, but I have been using it as Feather since installing CS5.
If this is a know bug, are there any other Shortcuts that have unresolved conflicts or worse, arbitrary points where the command goes elswhere than what you expect?
Hmmm, Feather and Flip are both F words!

Did you load up the Commands actions set (which contains the Flip actions) from the fly-out menu at some point recently? They're not normally installed in the Actions panel by default.

Keyboard shortcuts to "pop ups" changed from 10.4 ?

When changing or adding an extension to a file (i.e. .doc), I used to just hit "Command - A" to respond to the pop up of "Don't Add" or "add" extension warning.
In 10.5 it seems that when I hit Command A, the window closes but it acts as if I hit the "Don't Add" button.
Even when Tabbing to move the highlight to "circle" the "Add" button, it seems there is no way to accept this unless clicking with the mouse.
Is this a global change int he OS, or something in Keyboard shortcut prefs?

I'm not at my Mac right now, but for some buttons if you just hit command, the full shortcut appears in the button. Would it happen to be showing a different shortcut when you just hold down the command key?

Does the keyboard shortcut Command-Shift-1 do anything?

I accidentally hit the keyboard shortcut Command-shift-1--nothing happened, but there was no error beep, either.
Was something I don't know about supposed to happen, good or bad?

I guess what makes me wonder is when nothing seems to happen, even no error beep when in the open file box in Dreamweaver when using Command-Shift-1 instead of Command-Shift-. to check for hidden files (or just being in Dreamweaver in general).
It's the not even getting an error beep response which sometimes makes me wonder did something happen which I wouldn't want to.

Keyboard Shortcut conflict

Hi-
I'm working a lot with Flash 8. A common command is "Publish". The shortcut for this is Shift+F12...which is also the shortcut to launch Dashboard (in slow motion...no kidding).
I went to System Prefs/Keyboard Shortcuts, found Dashboard and unchecked it so it wouldn't launch on F12. There was no place to disable Shift+F12.
I did the steps to add Shift+F12 for Flash 8. Quit and restarted Flash but got the same slo-mo Dashboard. I tried adding the command while Flash was running and not running.
Is there a way for me to get Dashboard to give up the Shift+F12 shortcut so that Flash can have it??
TIA your help,
Josh

I found the answer within Flash8. On the top menu, under Flash8 select "Keyboard Shortcuts". The Keyboard Shortcut window opens with the entire collection of established default shortcuts in nauseating detail..First make a duplicate of the default shortcut set and rename it. This is a one-click operation, the first icon to the right of the "Current set" drop down menu. Then find the command you want to change by first selecting a category from the "Commands" drop down menu and then from the resulting list. Select the command, hit "-" (minus) to delete the old keyboard shortcut, hit "+" and make your own. Then click "Change" button. I use the "full fist plus" combination for all of my changes (shiftoption+command an alphaNumeric) If there's a conflict within Flash, Flash will tell you immediately. Otherwise you are there.
Good luck.
This quest is over.

How to disable keyboard shortcut "Control Shift Down"

Hi,
I'm mildly surprised that I couldn't find the answer to this little problem I have.
I'm running a PC version of Excel through VMWare under Mac OS X 10.7, and it works perfectly fine except that the keyboard shortcut for selecting continguous cells in a column - Control-Shift-Down - produces a weird "slow-mo" version of F10, which is showing all windows in the current application.
First of all, I hardly see this "feature" to be of any practical use as you can accomplish the same (without the slow-mo effect) by hitting F10 by default.
Secondly, this prevents me from doing something actually useful in Excel which is selecting continguous cells in a column.
Can someone please give a tip to disable this useless shortcut? I've looked everywhere in Keyboard settings in Preferences without success.
Can't believe no one else has the same issue.
TIA
-Wk

Thanks a lot for your post. I tried your suggestion and indeed got the Excel short-cut back. It wasn't obvious as "Mission Control" and "Application Windows" are mapped to F9 and F10 (rather than the ctrl-shift-down" combo).
It's ok since I don't really have any use for shortcut launching "Mission Control" or "Application windows".

Search google keyboard shortcut conflicts with pages

The apple system preference, keyboard, indicates that shift-command-L will search google is safari. However, in pages, that command displays layout. Search in google does work using the services menu option in pages.
Is there a way to change or resolve the keyboard shortcut for search google to work?
thanks
bob

Just realized you can click on the shortcut in system preferences and change the keyboard short cut.
thanks

How to use keyboard shortcut OPTION SHIFT COMMAND PLUS?

The application I am using has two keyboard shortcuts for changing the KERN of some text:
TIGHTEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + MINUS
LOOSEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + PLUS
The TIGHTEN command works fine but the LOOSEN command doesn't. If I plug in an external keyboard then it works fine as long as I use the or on the NUMPAD.
Any suggestions?

How Many Functions And Keyboard Shortcuts etc. Are Missing From FCE 4 ?

Seven hours ago I set out to discover the answer to this but I got side-tracked and discovered my camera had a microphone channel missing !
So is there anything missing from FCE4 ?
There have been spurious claims that things like "Export to Soundtrack" have been dropped and though the actual command has disappeared the functionality is there in "Export to QuickTime".
However, I seem to remember Tom saying that a certain keyboard shortcut (which I can't remember) is missing.
Has anyone noticed any particular items that really have been omitted ? (Don't say Soundtrack or 9GB of LT Media!)

Hi Ian,
just to confirm that what you and Tom have found is the same I have so far.
A comment: while all other commands now missing in the FCE4 contextual menu are available in its standard menus, the Clip Enable command is really a ghost command. Only the control-B keyboard shortcut toggles it, there is no mention of it in any menu, but it appears in Tools/Button List. The online Help mentions a Modify/Clip Enable commands that does not actually exist, but on the other hand it does not mention its keyboard shortcut that in fact works... very clear!

Has the command-P keyboard shortcut to print been removed from Pages 5.2?

Is this just me or has one of the most used keyboard shortcuts been removed from the latest Pages?
You have to navigate the mouse to File>print...? No command>P?

Thanks. I went to Keyboard in System Preferences and added command+P as print command. No idea why it disappeared from Pages - but not Safari.

Keyboard shortcut for shifting focus to the version name?

i'm trying to go through and quickly give each pic a version name, is there a quick way to jump from the pic to the info palette where the version name is? can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for that.
thanks!
jake

Hello, jake
Quote: "i'm trying to go through and quickly give each pic a version name, is there a quick way to jump from the pic to the info palette where the version name is? can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for that.
So that it highlights Version Name in the input field in the Metadata Panel?
I don't know of any that would move to the next photograph and at the same time highlight the Version Name field.
Command Option m
will get you to the Management Layout
Hit w to close the Projects Panel and then hit i to open the Inspectors. From this layout you can use the arrows to manuever through the photographs in the Browser but you will still need to select the Version Name input field to add metadata.
Should you have a ton of images you can use j k l (up, stop, down) to scroll through them. You can also use a ShuttlePro v.2 and modify the keys on it to make keyboard shortcuts for Aperture.
love & peace,

Firefox 15 and Multifox 1.3.3 Keyboard Shortcut Conflict - how to resolve?

There's a shortcut conflict with Firefox 15 and Multifox 1.3.3 - they both use Ctrl+Shift+M. Since the upgrade to Firefox 15 I cannot use Multifox anymore. Is there a workaround?

Note that you can disable most Web Developer tools via devtools prefs on the about:config page
*devtools.responsiveUI.enabled

Keyboard Shortcuts to switch spaces changing.

I have configured my keyboard shortcuts to use custom shortcuts for switching spaces (I have 7 spaces). I use command + 1 to switch to space 1, command + 2 to switch to space 2, etc. However, for some time now, when I log out, lock the screen, or anything other than a total shut down or restart, my shortcuts stop working. By that, I mean that hitting command + 2 will take me to space 3 instead of 2. This wouldn't be that big of a deal except my workflow has certain apps set to certain spaces and being thrust to the wrong one (and which wrong one changes again when I log out, lock screen, etc). When I check my shortcuts in preferences, they all still show as being correct. This has happened across multiple macs (2 MBP Retinas and a brand new iMac) on different (non-transferred) users all with Mountain Lion. Please help!

I know this is an old post, but in case someone else has this problem:
Try going to System Preferences -> Mission Control and uncheck the box for "Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use".

Conflicting advice about changing from POP to IMAP on multiple devices

I get email to six POP accounts on three devices - iPhone, iPad and my MacBook Air. Deleting the emails I've already read on one device from the other two has become incredibly time-consuming. I've poked around on the boards to try to find out if changing my email accounts to IMAP on the iPhone and iPad only would be a good solution, but I've gotten conflicting advice. I found both of these statements, which would appear to contradict each other:
statement #1:
+No, that should be fine to do that but as mentioned above, you would set the POP account on your desktop to leave mail on the server. This is the setup I use (POP on desktop, IMAP on iPhone). I like it because it adds a layer of backup. If your mail server went down and lost all your email, you'd still have copies on your desktop in your POP account. Also, you can still reference/search email if your internet goes down.+
statement #2:
+I have to second these motions here - Do Not try to mix these two or you risk loosing email... Then make sure you reconfigure your Mail.app to IMAP. You will need to create a new IMAP account in the prefs, manually move all of your POP email to their corresponding folders in the IMAP account, and then delete the POP account.+
Surely lots of other people are finding it hard to manage their email with all of these other devices? Whenever I launch Mail in either my iPad or my iPhone it loads the new ones, plus up to 50 old emails from whenever I stopped deleting them before...
TIA for any advice...

Thanks Bob, I suspected that was the case. I would be interested to know if a large number of people are switching their POP accounts to IMAP for this very reason. I can't be the only one who's tired of deleting emails one by one from the iPhone and iPad...
I don't know how many are switching. I assume that most users who have multiple email devices they want to keep synced set them up as IMAP accounts to begin with.

Keyboard shortcuts to switch TTYs changed

I have a problem similar to what is described by other people in this thread, but I didn't want to hijack it because this is a different issue than what the OP was talking about.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128226
I recently updated the kernel to 3.14.6-1 and this problem started appearing after that.
Whenever I press Alt + left or right, it switches to the next or previous TTY.
Previously, I switched TTYs with Ctrl Alt Fx. Now only Alt Fx will switch TTYs.
The Alt + left/right TTY switching did not happen before, and now it interferes with going forward or back in browsers.
I looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_Shortcuts, and it seems that the shortcuts in the Terminal/Virtual Console section carry over into the X server.
How can I get rid of the Alt + left/right shortcut and require Ctrl to be pressed to switch TTYs with a F-key?
Last edited by subraizada3 (2014-06-13 14:23:43)

This happens in the console and X.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_Shortcuts It seems that X doesn't disable the virtual console shortcuts when it starts (or whatever it does to keep the TTY shortcuts from doing things).

Change Stamp Visible keyboard shortcut?

I have looked through all the menu keyboard shortcuts and of course have found Merge Visible which doen't help me. I don't see anything in keyboard shortcuts that lets me change Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E to something different. Exactly what is that shortcut called in PS CS5, where do I find it?
Thanks,
Tim

Sure does seem to be missing from the obvious places, doesn't it? Probably because it's not actually in a menu anywhere.
Recording an action does yield a bit of a clue... It records as Merge Visible With Duplicate:
The Alt seems to add the "With Duplicate".
Just a guess, but based on the above, if you were to change the Merge Visible shortcut to something besides Control-Shift-E you might find that adding Alt to whatever you assign to that function would be a Stamp Visible operation. I didn't try that.
Or you could record an action as above and assign it a function key.
