Keyboard Shortcuts for Custom Presets

I have a Custom Preset for Lightroom 3, that exports a copy to a seperate folder, as jpg. The issue is I have to select File, Export with Preset and then my preset to export.Can I create a keyboard shortcut for this?
Bob

Bob,
I think there is a shortcut (Windows anyway) whereby you right-click the images after selecting them in the Grid mode, left-click "Export" then select your preset. The images are then exported based on the preset without further user intervention. This might be better than as shortcut key.

Keyboard shortcut for effects preset?

Simple question, searched, can't seem to find an answer.
I created an effects preset, it's now in my "Presets" bin. I want to assign a Keyboard shortcut to it, rather than dragging onto the clip. Is this possible. Thanks much in advance!

Keith,
I dont believe this to be possible, sorry. Great idea though.
Perhaps you should submit that to adobe.
If you want to familiarize yourself witht what is possible keyboard shorcut wise, just open the Keyboard short cuts in PPRO and spend 10 minutes there.
I did that once and there is a LOT you can do...

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 ???

Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

Hi,
My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
Thanks!

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

InDesign Keyboard Shortcut for Submenu Item

I am attempting to make a keyboard shortcut for a particular menu selection in InDesign CS5. Particularly, I want to select an Adobe PDF Preset
("PDF/X-1a:2001") from the submenu. However, when I try select this in Keyboard Shortcuts, all I get is "Define" .. which of couse will bring me to the presets window. I want to be able to select a preset and assign a keyboard shortcut (in this case F15).
Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be done? I tried various ways, but still can't select anything from that submenu.
Thanks.

Hey,
I agree with Cari! Using SHIFT while clicking on PDF preset name would speed up things! On the other hand, you can use scripting to define which export profile to use and choose destination folder. Great thing about the scripts is that you can assign custom shortcuts to them!
// Set PDF Preset name
var myPreset = "[PDF/X-1a:2001]";
// If not using CS5 or later, set this to: false
var usingCS5 = true;
/// --- DO NOT EDIT --- ///
if(app.documents.length)
    doExport();
else
    alert("No documents opened");
function doExport(){
    try{app.pdfExportPresets.item(myPreset).name}
    catch(_){
        alert("PDF Preset not found!\nPlease check name and try again!");
        exit();
    var myFile = (function(){
        var setFile = File.saveDialog ("PDF export based on " + myPreset + " ...", "PDF:*.pdf");
        if(setFile != null)
            return setFile;
        else
            return false;
    if(myFile != false){
        if(Boolean(usingCS5))
            app.activeDocument.asynchronousExportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
        else
            app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
All you have to set is PDF preset name and you are good to go! Also, you can save this script with different names containing different presets name and assign different shortcuts to every one of them.
Hope that helps.

CS6 will not save keyboard shortcut for dust & scratches filter

I am running Photoshop CS6 with all updates on a Windows 8 system. I have several keyboard shortcuts set up that all work fine but when I assign a keyboard shortcut for the dust & scratches filter it will work until I close Photoshop - when I then open Photoshop again this shortcut is gone but all my other shortcuts remain.
I have tried going back to the default keyboard shortcuts and then adding just the shortcut for dust & scratches (I have tried ctrl-F8 and several others) and then closing Photoshop and opening it again with the same results. I was able to add back all of my other shortcuts and they work fine.
For some reason I can assign a keyboard shortcut to anything except the dust & scratches filter.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
Thanks

I had a chance to try the script on a windows 8 machine running photoshop cs6 13.01 in both photoshop cs6 versions 32 and 64 bit and shortcuts seem to stay between restarts.
If in photoshop cs6 you go to File>Scripts you can see that the script is actually listed?
When i saved the script out of ExtendScript Toolkit i named it Dust and Scatches.jsx.
Did you run ExtendScript Toolkit as an administrator before saving the script?
(right click on the ExtendScript Toolkit shortcut (tile) and choose Run as Administrator)
Saved to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 32 bit)
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 64 bit)
Another possibilty if you can't get the script to work is using an action (Filter>Dust and Scratches) and assigning a function key for the shortcut.

Keyboard shortcut for context menu

Hello all. I recently got a MacBook and it's the first Mac I've ever had. I'm a keyboard shortcut guy when I can be and one thing that's stumped me is using the keyboard to open up the context menu.
Does anybody know a keyboard shortcut for opening the context menu (ie Ctrl + mouse Click)?
If there isn't one, I would be happy to add a custom keyboard shortcut for it in the System Preferences. I've tried to do so but I'm doing something wrong because it isn't working. Here's what I've tried specifically:
1. For "All Applications" add Ctrl+Space for the Menu Title "Show Context Menu"
2. For "All Applications" add Ctrl+Space for the Menu Title "Open Context Menu"
Does anybody know the exact Menu Title for the context menu?
Help is much appreciated!

The Keyboard Shortcuts are for menu items, not macro creation. What you want to do requires a third-party utility for programming keyboard macros such as iKey, QuickSilver, etc. You'll find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

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.

How to make a keyboard shortcut for this character: ⌘

I am growing very fond of the Character Palette, but there are some characters I like to use allot, and it's becoming a nuisance opening the whole window just to insert a ⌘. I was thinking maybe there is a way to make a keyboard shortcut for this character, just like option-shift-K creates . I opened the keyboard viewer and was thinking maybe I could drag the character into an empty space to create a combo...but it's not letting me. Is there any way to do this?

This is a feature Apple should definitely add customization to on OS X.
You can make custom keyboard layouts that include any characters you want using Ukelele.

I doubt Apple is going to incorporate this into OS X, but you can suggest it here:

Keyboard shortcuts for cropping not working

iPhoto '11 (9.3.1) cropping shortcuts not working.
Pressing shift while dragging does not disable the "Contrain" setting when using preset sizes. Nothing happens.
What are we supposed to "drag vertically" or "horizontally" in a preset crop size that makes iPhoto switch between portrait or landscape constrain setting?
Having to go to the "Crop" drop-down menu to click-switch contraints between portrait and landscape is very tiring - these shortcuts don't work unless someone can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Disable constrain setting in crop tool when selecting an area
Press the Shift key while dragging
Switch between portrait and landscape constrain settings in crop tool when selecting an area
Drag vertically for portrait crop or drag horizontally for landscape crop

Hi -
In order to support keyboard shortcuts for the Tag Panel we needed to implement a bit of a unique method. The Tag Panel itself does indeed need to have focus in order for it's keyboard shortcuts to activate. The core reason for this is to remove the potential for keyboard shortcut conflicts between the rest of the app the those stored within a Tag template. Remember, you can share Tag Templates across system and with other users. and each template can contain it's own shortcut definitions. The only way to prevent conflicts is to enforce the focus rule.
the recommended workflow is to open a clip and set focus to the Tag Panel. From the Tag Panel all of the Transport Controls (JKL, SPACE BAR for play/pause, etc.) will still function when the Tag Panel has focus. So you should still be able to review your clips and apply Tags via shortcut.
Let me know how this works. We are always looking to improve workflows so if you come up with some improvement ideas please share.

Michael

Keyboard shortcuts for tags not working

I'm working on a WWII documentary and using Prelude to assign lots of markers, including tags for historical figures who appear very frequently in the WWII newsreels such as "Rommel" and "Hitler"
Not sure why, but when I assign any keyboard shortcut for a custom tag, the shortcut doesn't work, please see here:
I decided to assign "3" for the Hitler tag, but any shortcut I assign for any tag, just doesn't work. Yet it seems that you can assign keyboard shortcuts even for tags, and the Prelude help manual says you can:

Keyboard shortcut for a "preferences" detail setting

Some websites I often use are hard to read in their own colors, so I go to "edit -> preferences -> content -> colors" and uncheck "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above".
Other websites need this setting checked to display correctly.
Can I establish a keyboard shortcut for this setting?
FF 4.0.1 in both WinXP and Linux

Specifically for that and because it can be changed via the options, you can create a toolbar button to do that.
[http://codefisher.org/toolbar_button/toolbar_button_maker Custom Toolbar Buttons Maker] select "Toggle Page Colors", install, move custom button to toolbar. Toggles preferences, removes some but not all images (loses the entire mozillaZine banner exactly same as the preference). Another button that can be included is "Page Fonts", which toggles page fonts between your colors and the web page's colors. Another button that may be needed to read some pages is "Toggle Styles" to toggle CSS styling off or back on.
Also see page where the above came from, for other suggestions:

PPCC 2014.1 keyboard shortcut for source patching or track targeting???

Does anyone know if there's a keyboard shortcut for targeting tracks or else moving the "V1" and "A1" targets up and down the tracks in the timeline with the latest PPCC 2014.1 update???
I believe PPCC refers to it as "source patching". But looking through the vast keyboard shortcut list, I haven't found it.

Here's the shortcuts you want to be looking at... also Marks linked page has useful info on mouse operations.
The source assignment presets could prove useful too (although it would all get much easier if they would implement auto-patch...)

The wireless keyboard doesn't have a page down key. How do you program a keyboard shortcut for Page Down?

My new wireless keyboard doesn't have a page down key. Very customer-hostile, at least in Office Apps. The list of available keyboard shortcuts doesn't inclue Page Down. Anyone know how to program a keyboard shortcut for Page Down?

Figured it out: fn + down arrow

Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...

I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
Hope this helps out!!
