Keyboard shortcuts display but don't fill field

My shortcuts on my ipad2 display in settings.
When I type the shortcut code in safari, the corresponding info displays in blue like it should.
Problem is the corresponding info for the shortcut code does not post to the field after tabbing to next field.
I have deleted the shortcuts & created them again but problem continues.
I have used shortcuts from the very first day I got my Ipad2 the day it went on sale years ago. They always worked until IOS 8 & all the upgrades.
Unless there is a new way shortcuts work that I'm not aware of, It is not an idiot user problem.

I realize this is a very old message, but I'm having the same
problem on my Mac. My left and right arrow keys don't move the
playhead forward or back frame by frame. What gives?

Keyboard shortcuts in JTabbedPane don't work in BorderLayout

I'm mystified by a problem that doesn't seem to make any sense. I have a JTabbedPane with mnemonics, that used to work well before. But since I've shuffled components around a bit and put the JTabbedPane in the BorderLayout.CENTER of a JPanel, the keyboard shortcuts no longer work.
The appropriate letters are underlined, but the Alt+letter sequence no longer switched tabs. Other components (JButtons) with keyboard shortcuts in the same JPanel, but in the BorderLayout.SOUTH or elsewhere, work as expected.
It sounds like a bug to me, but is there perhaps a workaround?
Thanks,
- Peter

I keep replying to my own posts...
I figured out that the tabs start working once a component in them (say, a JTextField) receives keyboard focus. It does sound a bit suspicious to me, but I can live with it.
Unfortunately, setting the focus programmatically doesn't seem to work: requestFocus() or requestFocusInWindow() on the first JTestBox simply don't work.

Keyboard shortcuts in application don't work

Wondering if any one can help me with this one.
I'm finding that only some of the keyboard shortcuts in Final Cut Pro are working for me. For example "Command/F12" is supposed to give me full-screen view. Instead "F12" continues to function as a sound volume increase button. I've taken this problem to the FCP forum but the best someone there could say was that there seems to be a conflict between my OS and FCP. I've gone to "Systems Preferences/keyboard" and the most I could do there was make sure that Final Cut was a listed application. I see no "yellow triangles" there.
I hope someone can clue me in here. If not my mouse is going to get exhausted flying all over the FC page.
Thanks.
john

Thanks.
"fn+f12" on it's own didn't help so I went to "System Preference/keyboard" and checked the "use F keys as standard" box as you suggested. Now when I hit "command+F12" (not "commandfnf12) I get the proper FCP response.
Hope this will also have fixed the other FCP shortcuts that were not working.

IPhone 4s keyboard shortcuts disappeared but still work ?

I use both french and English keyboards as I switch a lot. I've disabled auto-correction but not Spell check. I've created many useful keyboard shortcuts which now have disappeared from the shortcut list in the keyboard menu but they all still work when I type them in. I can add a new shortcut which then also works but the shortcut list still remains empty. Not the end of the world but still a weird glitch.

Here is my post from another thread:
The same thing happened to me and the Genius bar did a reset yesterday. The problem appear fixed... Until today. Back to the Genius bar this afternoon. I'm not going to let them do another reset this time if that's the only thing they have to offer.
Trial 2:
The Apple store tried all different things without success, so they gave me a new iPhone. They restored everything back via iCloud onto the new phone. Checked the shortcuts--the problem still exists! Blank.
Now I'm supposed to go back for a full hour appt so they can manually install everything onto my phone from my saved laptop. I may not do that and just live without the shortcuts until an update is available.
They said they've never encountered this problem before, but will submit it as a case to Apple.
My suggestion is that everyone having this issue to report it to a Genius Bar and make sure they submit it to Apple. Hopefully then Apple will fix this glitch on the next software update.

Firefox loads, icon is on task bar but when clicked the graphics slide off to the right but don't fill the screen & when clicked again, falls back into the icon

Firefox, Thunderbird & Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I exited the game & clicked the icon to return Firefox to full screen, I could see the image flash off to the right side of my monitor screen and disappear. When I again clicked on the icon in the task bar, the reverse happened- the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the open screens show up with the red X to close but the same thing happens when I click on that box. The other two programs that were open while the game was active are working fine, only Firefox has been affected. I cannot open the program to access any of the menu items as I cannot get the screen image on the monitor. I did uninstall the program and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run it. I did chose to save my settings so if something has been changed there then that might be the problem.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

C keyboard shortcut displays SEARCH instead of COMPOSE

Pressing C while in a message list will display SEARCH, while pressing S will display SAVED folder.
How can I set C to compose a new message, as it was supposed to be?

A similar question last Friday received these two replies:
Barry:
Numbers offers similar keypress methods of selecting (Edit for this post: and entering) text.
You'll find them in Chapter 8: Working with Text of the Numbers '09 User Guide, starting at page 159.
I'd strongly recommend to any new or nearly new user of Numbers that (s)he download and take a look at both the Numbers '09 User Guide and the iWork Functions and Formulas User Guide. Both are available through the Help menu. Similar guides for Pages and Keynote can be downloaded using the same instructions.

Keyboard shortcut for filling layer with color are opposite on my PS CS6 OSX install, Help?

Hello all,
I'm a bit of a noob, and following a tutorial….and found something strange and wonder if you might help me figure what's happening.
I have Photoshop Extended CS6 on a macbook pro (late 2011).
I'm running OSX v 10.7.5
I'm following along and the instructor added a new layer. I did this.
He then filled the layer with white which is his background color (he has black foreground, white background). I have the same fore/background colors.
Now, I thought on mac that to fill with foreground color you hit Apple+Delete and to fill with background you hit Option+Delete
It is doing the exact OPPOSITE for me. I hit Apple+Delete (or even backspace) and it fills with my background color which is white
If I hit Option+Delete (or backspace) it fills with my foreground color.
I've tried looking in the Edit Keyboard shortcuts area…but I don't see these settings anywhere.
I do have an external keyboard hooked to my mac. It is a 3rd party one, but seems to work in ever other way normally.
Keyboard here is: http://pckeyboard.com/page/UKBD/UB40P4A
Any suggestions why my keyboard shortcut for filling a layer with color might be reversed?
Thanks in advance,
CC

option-delete is, and always has been, fill with foreground.
a 1 second google search would have informed you of this.
Thanks for the reply.
I did do a Google and I got this:
http://blog.coghillcartooning.com/84/tip-keyboard-shortcut-to-fill-a-photoshop-layer-or-se lection-with-the-background-or-foreground-color/
And from that I got the option-delete was background, and apple-delete was foreground.
Hence my confusion...
Thanks for the reply, I guess I should check 2-3 sites each time I google for keyboard shortcuts for PS.

List of Keyboard Shortcuts wanted

I have searched the forum and the manual (I now have Version 4) and my books but cannot find a complete list of these. (For example, "n" to apply/remove Snapping; "space" to start and stop Playhead;"rr" for Roll Tool etc. Tom's book for Version 2 lists a few.
Surely there is a complete list of all keyboard shortcuts. (I don't mean Shortcut Menus.)
(The particular one that I would like to use is one that causes all the clips in the timeline to be displayed in the timeline window at one glance.)
Thanks.

I don't think you will find a complete list Steve, but see if these links for FCE 3.0 and FCP are of any use:-

Keyboard shortcuts in CFB on Mac

Hi,
I work now with ColdfusionBuilder on Mac OS X and there are a few things I am missing from the Windows version. I use the latest on Mac OSX btw
In the CF editor, I can use ctrl+Arrow left to jump one word to the left and Ctrl+Arrow right to jump one word to the right.
A word boundary on Windows includes dots so I can travel a dot-separated string by word: "This.is.my.dot.separated.path" consists of 6 words and I am able to get to any word with ctrl-arrow (e.g. clicking twice ctrl-Arrow right brings me to "my"). On Mac the dots are discarded so the string "This.is.my.dot.separated.path" is seen as one word and I cannot jump in between dots.
In the navigation view I can travel a hierarchical tree with the cursor keys. To expand a tree I highlight the root folder, press arrow right and then highlight any item within the expanded tree. To collapse the tree again I press arrow-left, regardless which item in the expanded tree is currently selected.
In CFB for Mac I can only collapse a tree this way when the root folder is highlighted. This forces me to travel to the root folder before I can collapse it.
Small things but boring on a day-to day basis.
Is there any fix for these?

I've just done some testing, and can confirm that Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Mac (UK keyboard) allows you to assign Ctrl+Tab to that keyboard shortcut. But it won't accept it on Dreamweaver CS6.
I've no idea why that should be so. It's probably an internal change to something else that has affected it, and nobody noticed during testing because it's not common to change an existing keyboard shortcut to something else.
I suggest that you file a bug report through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. Reports filed through that form go directly to the program team.
I can understand your frustration, but please remember that most of the people answering questions here, including myself, are not Adobe employees.

Can't map keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 (Mac)

I am trying to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac to match the mappings I had for CS5.
I used Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch between open documents. When I trry to set this in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog it ignores my input. I tried to modify it in menu.xml (which already had this set, presumably because it copied it from CS5), but it still doesn't appear in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog or work when I press the keys.

Keyboard shortcuts to set in/out points?

I've been using FCP for a while, but lately have been teaching iMovie HD at our local cable access studio. I'm very impressed with what iMovie can do now, with one glaring problem - setting in/out points. I'm used to playing through my video, and when I get to a point I want I'll click "i" or "o" to set the points.
In iMovie the only way (near as I can tell) to set in/out points is by scrubbing the markers which confuses everyone and takes far too long. It's a very strange feature not to have an obvious keyboard equivalent to.
Is there any way to set in/out points via the keyboard?

There's a list of iMovie keyboard shortcuts under 'Help' on the top-line menu: it's "iMovie HD Keyboard Shortcuts".
But iMovie doesn't work on In and Out points selected from a longer clip, in the way that Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro do.
It was originally envisaged that iMovie, as a simple editor, just lets you cut and join clips, with optional Transitions, Effects, etc.
There are Crop Markers which can be used: just put your cursor beneath the blue(?) Playhead line, just under the playback window, and a pair of triangular crop markers will appear. If they don't - just hover for a moment at the extreme left just beneath the playback window.
The crop markers can then be dragged to any positions, and Apple ('Command')+K will then crop that selected video section. This can be undone with Apple+Z.
The crop markers can be dragged anywhere, or you can click on one and use the usual keyboard shortcuts of left and right cursor key to move one a frame at a time, or Shift+left/right cursor key to jump 10 frames at a time.
It wasn't originally anticipated, with iMovie, that people would import longer sections of video than needed (..unlike professional shooting and capture..) and then choose just briefer sections within those long clips. The thinking behind iMovie was "cut out and throw away", not "identify shorter section and use that, while secretly retaining full duration of original clip".
It's only with the current iMovie 5/HD that the background handling of clips now approaches FCE and FCP, giving reliable "non-destructive trimming", so that crop markers can be used to set 'wanted' sections, and other sections remain behind invisibly, in a robust Trash can, "..just in case".
You can 'Split video at Playhead' (Apple+T) ..which is what I generally use for editing, but you have to manually drag crop markers to where you want them. It's a historical thing.
You're really asking for a shortcut to set a crop marker to the Playhead position. Why not use Feedback to ask for one in the next version?
But sorry; I don't know of any keyboard shortcuts to do what you want.
Maybe someone else does, though..

Bootcamp Print Screen Keyboard Shortcut??

Hi
Looking for a print screen keyboard shortcut. I don't think my FN key is activated because the normal shift+fn+f11 doesn't achieve the print screen result I was looking for. Normally I would use Snippet, but I am doing an online course and I need to be able to print screen using Microsot Excel 2010. I need to paste it onto another sheet but I am unable to due having no working solution. Snippet won't work because its run on it's own desktop. My only guess is either a keyboard shortcut/a macro on Excel.
Thank you for reading my query
Adam

What does Bootcamp have to do with this?

Photoshop CS6: cmd+F1: how to change that keyboard shortcut?

I want to change the keyboard shortcut cmd+F1. it's set in Preferences to change the background color to black. I looked in Preferences to see if I can set it to none, and in PS keyboard shortcuts. But in the keyboad shortcut menu, preferences is not shown. How can I turn off / keep cmd+F1 from changing my preference background color to black?
Thanks for any help with this. Its very frustraiting.
Jeff N

You can't set it. That's part of the problem. When I go into the keyboard shortcut window to make a custom shortcut and select Layer> Flatten.... and then click to add a shortcut, type in Cmd+F1 it accepts it. But when I use the Cmd+F1 shortcut, background changes to black. I then must go into Preferences to change it back to what it was.
I'm looking for a way to stop photoshop from using cmd+F1 to change my background screen color in preferences.

"Tab" as Keyboard Shortcut.

I would like to assign "tab" as a keyboard shortcut in Flash CC, when I try to do it in the "Keyboard Shortcut Window" it tabs me out of that frame so I am unable to assign it. Please Help.
I looked at the Keyboard Shortcut XML file in my preferences but I couldn't make sense of it.
In Flash CS 6 you can just push tab during the "press keyboard shortcut" part of setting it up, painless.

I have determined that "Tab" is key #9.
However, in the Keyboard Shortcut file for Flash CC it does not seem to use this system but more so "spells out" the keys. I am trying to run a script command that is visible in the "Keyboard Shortcut" window but unable to find it in the keyboard shortcut file even if I set it to another key and look for it.

How to import keyboard shortcuts from CS6 to CC?

Every time there's a new version I go through this trying to figure out where the keyboard shortcuts file lives and every time it's hell. This time I've been searching and searching and I can't find a way to do. Why is this so hard? Should this thing happen automacally or at least there could be an option for "import keyboard shortcuts." I can't really use the new Illustrator without my shortcuts. I've looked in the preferences in the Library and in the Applications folders. Any ideas?
Thanks,
~peter

Thanks, but I looked there and there's only the default .kys file, not the custom one I saved. I saved the custom keyboards shortcut file but I can't find it anywhere. I think the last time I had to do this it was in Library/Preferences/Application Shortcuts/Adobe or something like that but it's not anywhere it seesm.
