Keyboard shortcuts CS4

Where can I get the english keyboard shortcuts for Fireworks
CS4?
I have the french version installed and I when I read an
english tutorial its way less complicated to follow with the
english shortcuts.
thanks

anyone?
In case someone wants to help me, the shorcuts can be
exported in html in Edit --> Keyboard Shorcuts
once the window is open and with Fireworks selected, the
exported as HTML option is just on the right
and this file can be uploaded somewhere or send to my email
at *edited out*
thanks

Custom keyboard shortcuts and editing multiple layers in Flash CS4

Hi, all -
CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worry about future animations that might be more complex.
Similarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
Any and all help would be appreciated as I muddle through this. Honestly, guys, I WANT to like the new version and there's so many added features, but it's hampering my workflow so bad I want to pummel it with sticks.

Hey there,
I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog. Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for? Just curious in case I can help.
Jen.

CS4 application focus and keyboard shortcuts

Quick preface: I couldn't find anything on this issue, searching Google and the Adobe forums specifically, so I don't know if it's a general bug in CS4 or if it's specific to the installations we have here at work. Also, this isn't specific to Indesign, but it seems to happen the most with Indesign, and I wasn't sure where else to post.
Basically, Indesign in particular (though this also happens with Photoshop and Illustrator to an extent), seems to lose focus if I've clicked on a palette or if I have an object selected, such that I have to click on a blank area of the document in order to use any keyboard shortcut. For example, if I've just applied a new swatch to an object, and that object is still selected, and I hit CTRL-S to save, nothing happens and I have to click a blank area of the document, and then hit CTRL-S. This may not seem like a big deal, but if I'm going to do that, I might as well click "File" and then "Save." And this seems to happen with every keyboard shortcut I use.
Is there anything in the preferences of the application that may be causing this, or is it just an annoying bug, or am I the only one? Any help is greatly appreciated.
[edit] And I'm using WinXP Pro, SP3 on an Intel Core2Duo.

Have you tried refreshing the preferences?

Keyboard shortcuts in CS4 won't work! Please help!

In the last month I have lost all of my keyboard shortcuts in my CS4 program. I was using Windows Vista Professional - and installed CS4 in August. Everything was working great. Then last month, all of the shortcuts disappeared. I uninstalled/then reinstalled CS4 - still nothing. Have done that several times, and looked on the forums for similar issues, in the Technotes - nothing. Yesterday my office upgraded my system to Windows 7. I am on a new HP Elitebook - also purchased in August, so my system can handle the program with ease.
Anyway, I had the IT guy do a 'clean install' per most of the chatter online, so i went to install the program and the install came up with 'errors' first was that Adobe 9 was not installed, nor was Photoshop. When i opened up illustrator - poof - no keyboard shortcuts again. Please if anyone knows of something that I could try, I would really appreciate it. This is seriously making me behind in projects and am ready to throw my new computer out the gigantic window that is in front of my desk.
Oh, since this - I updated my graphics driver (per suggestion for Photoshop), unistalled CS4 - AGAIN - and am in the process of reinstalling. But I am pretty sure that the shortcuts will be missing.
Help!!

These are the errors that I keep getting from the 'Get More Information' link after install.

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.

Importing CS4 Keyboard Shortcuts to CS5

I've discovered that you can open your custom keyboard shortcuts xml file in a text editor, and copy/paste shortcuts into your CS5 keyboard shortcuts file. Anyone else tried this? Is there an easier way to import all of your keyboard shortcuts from CS4 to CS5?

I did some experimentation, and I stand corrected! Apparently my memory was dodgy. In particular:
My experience is that it basically works fine, though it's been a while.
I thought we had tested this from CS3 to CS5, but it looks like maybe we only did it from CS5 to CS5.5. Which are a lot more similar.
(And yes, I did recall people having complaints about it, but my experience disagreed...)
Indeed, you have some problems with CS4 to CS5, but they are not subtle. At least, initially, I was getting a dialog box informing me that there were defined shortcuts in the shortcut set that were invalid (Somewhere along the way that stopped happening, which is Interesting, but probably not relevant).
Anyhow, I certainly don't disagree that pasting the XML differences is the better way to go -- I said as much in post #13.
But by way of recompense, here are a pair of scripts to make it easier.
Both require you to create a special shortcut set called "defaults" (i.e. defaults.indk) that they use as a baseline for differences. For a variety of reasons, it is insufficient for the script to use the Default.indk file in the application directory. Both scripts pop up an error if you have not done this, and tell you how to do it.
The first one, extractShortcuts.jsx, prompts you to select a shortcut file to extract from, compares it against the default shortcut set, and outputs and differences to a file on the Desktop, extracted.xml. Run this in CS4.
The second one, importShortcuts.jsx, prompts you to select the extracted.xml file from previous, asks you for the name of the new shortcut set, and then merges the two. It merges them in a fairly stupid way (just plain appending just before the end), but it's probably sufficient.
So here we go, exportShortcuts.jsx:
#target InDesign

These are written on a Mac. I suppose there's they might not work perfectly under Windows if the logic to find the user's keyboard shortcuts directory doesn't work.
As always, install scripts by saving each script as a plain text file (in TextEdit or Notepad) and following directions at, e.g., How to Install InDesign Scripts.
Good night.

Custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4?

Is there a way to set custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4? When I change my keyboard shortcuts preferences for Photoshop, they don't change for these filter interfaces. Is there another way?

what is the problem ??
I tried to change the shortcut for the Vanishing Point and Liquify from
Edit -> keyboard shortcuts(button) -> keyboard shortcuts (tab) -> filter (tab)
and you will find these filters :
double click on it and make a new shortcut
but it MUST be Ctrl + (any letter) or you can make it Ctrl + Alt + (any letter)
but if you made it just one lettre like S for example
you will can't make a shortcut.
hope I understood what you ment ???

Keyboard shortcuts CS5 differ from CS4.

Hello all,
Im used to work on a mac, but in my new job i have to use both the PC and MAC. Now im used to CS4 and i just migrated to CS5. Now most shortcuts im used to dont work, wich is a real pain. I completely rely on them for i sometimes dont even know where to find them in the menus.
Any advice?
Thanks

I have begun working in a school, helping students with shop illu and indy. They gave me a Dell, it will have to do. The students work on dell pc's or brand new macs, or on there own laptops. Most problems are solved, so i will remap the functions that need fixing. I would like to reply in the thread but im at home now and although im signed in, i cant respond, can only report abuse. I shall wander over to the photoshop section and ask there about my other questions.
Thanks again all, for the quick response.

Subject: Keyboard shortcuts CS5 differ from CS4.
What brand of Laptop?
This certainly does sound like the mapping problem I mentioned. You can fix all the shorcuts that use the enter key by making a new set and adding the numpad enter as a second option, but that isn't going to help with other shortcuts that use numpad keys (though the only ones that likely would affect are style shortcuts, for which the numlock must be on -- others you can use the regular keys for those functions and just change the habits you may have developed about the numpad keys).
I'm not sure what's going on in Photoshop. You should probably ask over there if anyone knows of similar issues related to keyboard mappings. And just maybe you should try a different brand of laptop...

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.

Keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator CS4

I have tried to customise keyboard shortcuts in CS4 but each time I quit I lose all settings. (they work fine til I quit). I have saved new sets, overwritted previous sets but they dont seem to save. What am I doing wrong.
Otherwise, speaking as a recent convert from Freehand, CS4 is wonderful now multiple pages have been added

We are experiencing the same problem in Illustrator CS4. We have saved a custom keyboard shortcut set only to have some of the shortcuts revert back when Illustrator is restarted. We have cleared the shortcut for "Reselect" and assigned command-6 to "Select Same Fill". The shortcut works fine until we quit Illustrator the the shortcut reverts back to "Reselect".

Keyboard shortcuts initiate when I'm trying to type text. (CS4)

I will try to type text in certain places (such as to name a layer or group in the layers panel or type in a font name in the character panel) and instead of displaying characters, Photoshop will initiate it's keyboard shortcuts. For example, if I try to name a layer "bat", it will leave the layer name blank and it will highlight the brush tool, the selector tool, and then the type tool.
I can type text on my document with the text tool and I can also type the document name in "Save" and "New".
I'm not sure if I've accidently hit something on my keyboard that makes this happen, but I've never had this problem before.
I ran the latest updates. I'm using CS4 on OSX 10.6.8.
Any ideas?

@PECourtejoie
I can highlight the text field, for example, I can double-click a layer name and it will change into a field with a cursor and I can even highlight the current name. However, I did just discover that sometimes I can type a letter once and the following keystrokes will act like a shortcut (whether the same letter or a different one). I then have to place the cursor in another part of the word to make this happen again, but again, it only happens sometimes and for now it seems random.
It will also occasionally delete nearby layers (maybe there's a shortcut that does that, but I'm not sure which keystroke I hit when that happens).
My mouse didn't accidently click elsewhere, it's been consistent for an entire day now.
I looked at my preferences and didn't see anything that would reset them (nor anything that would apply to this). Please let me know how and I will try it.

CS4 Reset View Keyboard Shortcut (ESC key) Not Working

Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this:
Every keyboard shortcut in Photoshop CS4 works fine for me except one: the keyboard shortcut to reset view after using view rotation (the ESC key). Oddly, the keyboard shortcut does work in CS5 (I installed the demo). I've checked to ensure my keyboard is set to US English, which it is. I've tried resetting the Photoshop settings, and even reinstalling. Nothing. This particular keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to be one that can be changed through the keyboard shortcuts menu, and I have never customized the keyboard shortcuts anyway.
Some more information about my setup -- I'm using an Intuos 4 tablet, and do use the wheel to rotate the view. However, the keyboard shortcut doesn't work when I use the tool with my mouse or the wheel on my tablet, so it seems unlikely this is the issue. Regarding my hardware acceleration, I have a current gen nVidia card with plenty of horsepower, and all other OpenGL enhancements work fine.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi there
Have you ensured that Captivate has been updated with all service releases?
I could be wrong but I seem to recall a service release fixed this issue.

No keyboard shortcuts in InDesign CS4

the keyboard shortcuts doesn't shown in any menu.
the "edit>keyboard shortcuts" has no available set, or even not creating new set.
in othyer apps (PS, Illustaror, flash) it's fine.
they are not working obviously, it's not only visual matter.
does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it?

It sounds like the reinstall is also damaged.
I'd try again after running the cleaner tool: CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3
Make sure you are logged in with an adminsitrator account, and turn off you Anti-virus and Malware scanners. You may even want to go as far as a "clean boot" for the installation. See How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista

On CS3 Photoshop I am able to bring up the Curves function (Ctrl+m) and then type Keyboard Shortcuts (a) to get the Auto Curves function.
On CS4 typing (a) does nothing - I have to click on the Auto button.
Is there a way to fix this?
