Keyboard Shortcuts HELP!

Just out of nowhere, my keyboard shorcuts for "overlay" (.) and "insert (,) edit are not working. I have to click on the icons in the player window to edit. The keyboard works fine for other programs and never skips a beat.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
Larry

Change the shortcut assignments temporarily to different keys and test them. If they work, change them back and test again.
Cheers

Going from Mac to PC environment - keyboard shortcut help

I just began working on a PC workstation and realized how much of a hassle it is due to the fact that the keyboard shortcut locations are so different. For instance...
If I wanted to perform an Undo, I would push Apple+Z on my Mac keyboard. However if I am on a PC and wish to do an Undo, I would have to push Ctrl+Z (which unlike a Mac is NOT the button next to the spacebar).
The button next to the spacebar on a PC happens to be the Alt button, which is what I always end up hitting because I'm so used to working on a Mac1 Does somebody have a PC Adobe Creative Suite preset file that conains all the keyboard shortcuts with the Alt and Ctrl buttons already switched? Or is there some way I could easily switch the Alt and Ctrl buttons without having to change each individual command manually? Thanks.

How about thinking outside of the box... the Creative Suite box? What happens when you are using something other than a CS app and need to undo something? Those CS shortcuts would not really help you and would cause more confusion.
As one that uses both platforms, I can assure you that what you are experiencing should be very temporary. It is not that difficult to mentally manage the shuffling of a couple keys.
If you are committed to modifying your keyboard, you could try an app like this:
http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
You could also use this app with a Mac keyboard connected to your Windows computer, as suggested above. If I recall correctly, a Mac keyboard on Windows will make the COMMAND key equal to the WINDOWS key. Either, way, you are setting yourself up for huge headaches because these keys mean slightly different things on each computer. Just learn how to use the Windows keyboard as it is. I'm sure you cannot really be mentally challenged over this.

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Keyboard Shortcuts Help

Hey! Not sure if I am posting this in the right location, but anyway...
          I use a Wacom Cintiq with my Photoshop Cs5.1 package and have had some troubles when it comes to a particular keyboard shortcut.
     The scroll wheel on the Cintiq when it's set to brush size is using the default "[ and ]" which scales up and down the brush size in Photoshop and is how I want it to be. Though when I am painting I use the eyedropper tool a lot which is the "Option" key. I don't really want to change this as I am used to it being in that location and am not sure where else to set it on my keyboard.
     So the problem here is that when I am using the scroll wheel for brush size I am sometimes holding down the Option key so the keyboard shortcut "Opt + [ and ]" is being used which cycles through the different layers I have made. This can be very annoying when I am happily painting my illustration and suddenly I'm on a different layer without realising it.
     So how do you remove this keyboard shortcut "Opt + [ and ]" as I don't want it to cycle through the layers with this, I'd rather it be deleted. I have looked through keyboard shortcuts and can't find anything, I've also checked online and cannot locate a way of disabling it, thanks!
P.S You may be thinking why don't I just change the keyboard shortcut to the brush size scroll wheel. Well I have tried that and it seems to be a little bit laggy if it doesn't use "[ and ]".

nobody know?

I need help doing a clean install.( keyboard shortcuts?).Macbook will not read any of the disks/ turns off

I installed a new 'used' Logic board, im my macbook 13.3 and it turned right on!..( i was out of warrenty)
Apple logo and spiing wheel, then turns off..
After reading several forums, I went into self mode, did the 2 checks within in and got an error which pointed to the OS software being currupted..
so I have inserted the Os disk, the disk-repair disk and a disk warrior disk, but none of them are being read. I hear the Macbook starting to read the disk then the disks are ejected and the systen turns off.
Is there a way i can do a clean install on the HD? shortcut keyboard shortcuts?
or force the disks to be read as the first boot device like of that in a PC's bios settup?
I have no data on the computer that I wish to save btw.. just want a fresh install..
thanks for any help in advance.

Unfortunately the necessary software to reinstall your OS is not located on the hard drive. If your MacBook will not accept the disks you have you are going to need a hardware repair, probably the optical drive.
If you have access to another MacBook you may be able to install the OS on an external hard drive and use that to boot your MacBook. You may then be able to get any data off of your hard drive.
Best of luck.

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.

Can't get my keyboard shortcuts to work. HELP PLEASE!!

All keyboard shortcuts are disabled, and I can't enable them - resetting firefox or safe mode not helping

For example, Ctrl-T is grayed out / disabled so I can't open a new tab using the keyboard.
Ditto for ALL other keyboard shortcuts - they're all disabled / grayed out.
PS - I've used Firefox for years, this happened about a month or so ago, and it's been that way ever since, even after rebooting computer.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.

HT5161 Is there a keyboard shortcut to go directly to this search bar in the help menu?

I find myself using the search bar under "help" a lot in several applications. I was wondering if there was a keyboard shortcut to go directly to this searchbar, just like how cmd+space takes you to the spotlight searchbar.

On my system, Lion 10.7.5 (italian) that is the default

Keyboard shortcut not working - nonbreaking hyphen - help

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I can't get the keyboard shortcut for nonbreaking hyphen to work. I can get the nonbreaking hyphen to insert if I insert it via the type menu but menus are such time wasters. I have even tried to make a new and different keyboard shortcut for nonbreaking hyphen and it will still not work. Any ideas of what needs to be corrected/purged/smashed with a hammer to get this to work?
Thanks in advance for any help
Running InDesign CS3 5.0.2 on a PowerMac 2x2.66Ghz dual Core Intel Xenon, OS X 10.5.2, 2gigs ram 667 Mhz, and it sits on a crumby looking desk but I don't think the desk is the problem. ;)

Sigh. I figured out the problem. But thank you M Blackburn. Your response got me thinking about other shortcuts. Sure enough it was Universal Access that was causing the conflict. I must have hit command-option-8 at some point to turn on Zoom in Universal Access which then uses command-option-dash for the zoom out feature. Since I am already zoomed out nothing happened when I tried that key combination. Once I turned off that Zoom feature my keyboard shortcut in InDesign worked again.
Phew.
Thank you

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

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.

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Default keyboard shortcuts in CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html

I guess I should have said that I've already been looking, First, slowly scrolling and going through the entire keyboard shortcuts list, then, over the past three days, searching on google for 'end' 'timeline' 'beginning' 'playhead' and various other combinations of these and other keywords in searches not only on Google, but in the actual Help and User Manual for Premiere CS6. Not to be ended there, because I have been searching, now on my fourth day of intense searching also taking YouTube videos, and many of the excellent forums for Premiere online. I guess I should have mentioned the hundreds of dead ends that I've come across in this search, but all paths seem to be leading away rather than leading to the simple answer I am looking for. I did find references to moving the playhead, to clips, markers, last place, and many others but none for moving the playhead to the beginning or the end of the timeline. My searchs even brought results for the beginning and the end of time, but I hope I can find the answer before then.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for moving the playhead to the beginning or the end of the timeline?
TIA,
Ken

Expose keyboard shortcuts seem to already be taken; i'm confused; help?

Hello,
I'm a mac newbie. Under the mac help instructions for expose, I find these instructions:
xposé provides a quick way to see all open application windows and switch between them. Press the F9 key to see all the windows you have open, or press the F10 key to see the open windows in the application you are currently using. To hide all open windows so you can see the desktop, press F11.
What I find is that f9, f10, and f11 are taken with other shortcuts on the keyboard and I can never get the expose shortcuts to work. I've played around and find no way around this.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Ray, Thanks for the very helpful response.
To add to your discovery, it also appears that under system preferences/keyboard, there is a box that is defaulted "unchecked" that reads, "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys. When this option is selected, press the FN key to use the special features printed on each key."
That is why my keyboard is over-riding the function keys b/c it is unchecked. When I check this box the expose works as intended.
I also find that my mouse is set up to have the "side" buttons linked with expose.
Under the keyboard shortcuts, I can see where I can check/uncheck the keyboard options but not change them. Still playing around with it...but you definitely solved it for me.
I will mark as such. Good work! Thanks.
