Keyboard Shortcuts in Organizer

PSE 8 seems to have lost keyboard shortcuts compared to older versions.   Ctrl-1 used to rate the selected photo with 1 Star, Ctrl-2 with 2 Stars, etc.   That is now missing and missed.
Also, there does not seem to be any keyboard shortcut to "Hide" a file.   Using the RMB Menu is seems clumsy sometimes since (unlike older Organizer) one has to go through a submenu (two gestures) to hide a file.    True, it is easier with multi-select, but that has its own difficulties (I keep acccidentally undoing my selects....)
Adding a more direct RMB menu option to Hide a file and/or a new keyboard shortcut would improve my workflow a lot.   And restoring the CTRL-1 shortcut for one star as well.

When you change a caption, not only that field in the catalog database is changed, but the field in the metadata section of the image file itself is changed: the original file is re-written. I think that it's a measure to enable 'undoing' the change. Is your trash can really filling up ?
Question 2: Intermittently the keyboard shortcuts aren't recognized (e.g., PF11 in organizer for displaying file in fullscreen). Any fixes/workarounds available?
I have only met the 'F11' key problem intermittently (in PSE12 as well). I am also on Win7. Doing some more testing, I found that I had to wait up to 5 - 10 seconds the first time before the full screen appeared. Then I have everything ready, including the filmstrip. I also tested with big raw files (32 Mb); they take normally around 7-9 seconds to be displayed. Only difference with small jpegs, the F11 screen appears after 5 - 10 seconds as previously described, the I wait for 7 - 9 seconds for the file to be converted and displayed.
Since then, I have always waited and I the F11 screen have always appeared. Could you try the same ?

How do I generate a list of keyboard shortcuts for any given application

I want to generate a list of keyboard shortcuts for all of the applications I have on my Mac. I want the list to be a simple text (or rtf) file that I can edit and organize. (By edit, I don't mean change the shortcuts, only the report of them.)
I was using Key Cue, but it does not let me save the list to a text file.
I want this for several purposes. One is to have a easy to reference list of shortcuts to learn. Another is to find unused key combinations that I can use for my own keyboard shortcuts that I create with DefaultKeyBinding.dict.
Note: The program doesn't have to an OS X app. A program that runs from a shell without a GUI is plenty adequate.
If there is a way to read the keyboard commands from a plist list or other such file, and any of you know the format for these or where I can find them, I can write a Perl script myself to do it.

Well, the info is stored in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
PlistPro has a way to convert it to ASCII, but you'll srtill have work to do, as...

Disable Reply All button via Group Policy without disabling keyboard shortcut

At my organization, we've used Group Policy to disable the Reply to All button in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010. When you use the setting in the ADM files for the respective versions of Office to disable a Command bar ID, the Reply to All button is disabled,
however they keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + R) is still active. This forces our users to think a bit more before using the Reply All function.
The keyboard shortcut continues to work, because there's a separate setting to disable the keyboard shortcuts. The same is true for Office 2013's GP templates, however, it does not function as expected.
When I use the Office 2013 admin templates and disable command bar ID 355 (Reply All), it disables the button as expected, however it also disables the keyboard shortcut for Reply All without actually setting it as disabled in the disable shortcut keys.
Has anyone had success disabling a command bar ID without disabling the associated shortcut keys? If so, how did you do it?

Create custom keyboard shortcuts

1. How do I create a custom keyboard shortcut so that I can toggle between two fonts, say, or two keyboards (English and Greek) quickly within a single document....
I am trying to make the switch fm msw to pages, but I cannot for the life of me locate these options.

Feature unavailable for the fonts.
If you have only the two keyboard layouts available, there is a shortcut defined at system level to switch between them :
command + space

Why does the keyboard shortcut on the bookmarks ctrl end and ctrl home to go up and down the bookmarks only work "sometimes"

Why does the keyboard shortcut on the bookmarks ctrl end and ctrl home to go up and down the bookmarks only work "sometimes"

Is the problem on the Bookmarks menu, on the Bookmarks drop-down list (from one of your toolbars), in the Bookmarks sidebar, or in the Library dialog used to organize bookmarks?
Do Home and End (without the Ctrl key) work any better/differently?

Keyboard shortcuts and tabs with get info box

I'm having several problems with the new get info box - and regret that I can no longer bring up the old version with the shift/right-click/get-info command.
1) No keyboard shortcut to advance from one track to the next, from inside the Get Info box. This used to be handled with Alt-N or Alt-P for Next and Previous. Now it seems to require mouse click on the error.
2) When tabbing through fields, it skips fields toward the bottom (album artist)
3) For works with the same title (most of my library is classical), I've tended to organize them by adding an extra space at the end of the Album line for the 2nd work with that title, or an extra two spaces for the 3rd work with that same title. This way they sort as distinct albums, since most works have multiple tracks. With the new Get Info, if I enter that extra space on the field in the box, it cuts it off when clicking ok. But if I just F2 the field on itunes list view, I can add it with no problem. This is a pain because I have to do it one track at a time, can't do it for multiple tracks at once.

The functions printed in small letters on those keys are accessed by the fn key.
The following work on my MBP (albeit using Word 2008, but IIRC the same shortcuts worked in Word 2004):
Jump to start of document = Command-Fn-LeftArrow (aka Command-Home)
Jump to end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)
Likewise,
Jump to start of line = Fn-LeftArrow
Jump to end of line = Fn-RightArrow
Page Up = Fn-UpArrow
Page Down = Fn-DownArrow
In this one (exceedingly rare) instance, Niel is incorrect.

I can no longer do keyboard shortcuts since latest update.

I am running Firefox 34.0.5 on a Windows 7 computer. Firefox updated the other day and I can no longer use my Edit keyboard shortcuts. (ie CTRL V etc) I read an article telling how to correct this with a Mac computer, how do you do it with a Windows computer?

Firefox 35 was released yesterday. Please use Help > About Firefox and run a Check for Updates to get the latest version. Then see if that issue is resolved.

Suggestion for a New Keyboard Shortcut

I'd like to suggest a way of increasing the efficiency of editing captions and other metadata in Aperture by adding a keyboard shortcut that always serves to move to the next image in the viewer. For example, Command-Shift-] (or something) to move to the next image in the library. Right now, I think only arrows move to the next image, but that doesn't work if you are editing in a text box, so you have to use the mouse or trackpad.

After iOS 8 upgrade keyboard shortcuts gone, just reboot

FYI,
apparently this also happened with the ios7 upgrade. Per the related ios7 thread, after a manual reboot of the phone, the shortcuts reappeared. The reboot solved my problem as my keyboard shortcut settings reappeared after reboot.

I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
Rebooted everything a dozen times.
Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

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!!

Look up in Dictionary keyboard shortcut hot key broken

The look up in dictionary keyboard shortcut does not work.
The Dictionary.app and widget works.
Even clicking on the menu item:
Safari > Services > Look Up in Dictionary works.
Under System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
I have "Restore Defaults", toggled the Dictionary checkboxes, reassigned to another shortcut.
if i "Inspect" Safari in Activity Monitor, the "Open Files and Ports" does not list
/System/Library/Components/DictionaryService.component
whereas, this component is listed on a Mac OS X box where the Dictionary does work.
TIA!

yes on both MacBooks, in Safari, i moused over a word and pressed Cmd-Ctrl-D.
the service is greyed out in Safari until i highlight a word.
the file com.apple.KeyboardViewerServer.plist does not exist under any users home directory $HOME/Library/Preferences nor the system-wide /Library/Preferences

Problem with iPhone and iPad keyboard shortcuts

When I try to access the keyboard shortcuts in either my iPhone 6+, iPad 3 or iPad Air, the sequence Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts causes the devices to go back to the Home Screen. I spent several hours in a chat with Apple Support, had to go through an iTunes back up on the iPhone and restored it to "new phone" and it fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPads. Chatted again today with Support, tried hard reset (press both buttons till Apple logo appears) on the iPad 3 and I could access the shortcuts. Did the same on the iPad Air with no luck.
Now, one hour after second Support chat, none of the devices can access the shortcuts. There must be a problem with iCloud for this to be happening on all 3 devices.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Same problem also and if I restore both the iPhone and iPad as new I
lose a lot of progress in my games.

Application Keyboard Shortcuts not working in Text Edit

Under System Preferences (Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Keyboard Shortcuts -> All Applications), I changed some basic keyboard shortcuts (Copy, Paste, etc.) to use the ctrl key instead of the command key. These shortcuts seem to work well in the basic applications I use (MS Office, Firefox, etc.)
However, they do not work in TextEdit. I did verify that the Menu name in I entered in System Preferences matches exactly the way it appears in TextEdit.
Anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas on how to resolve it? I would very much like this fixed since my switching between Windows (in Parallels) and Mac OS X is seamless except for the fact that I have to remember different keyboard shortcuts in each OS. Thanks in advance!

Keyboard shortcut for sending messages on Mail suddenly stops working

I've created a keyboard shortcut (Command + Return) specifically for sending manssages on Mail. When I open Mail, this keyboard shortcut works perfectly but suddenly it stops working.
If I close and reopen Mail, the keyboard shortcut starts to work again, but for a while.
I'm using OS X 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).

Howdy Guilherme
Give this a try if you haven't already.
System Preferences
Keyboard
Shortcuts
At the bottom of the left panel go to:
App Shortcuts
If Mail.app isn't there, add it.
Under it add Send.
Now choose your key combo i.e.
⌘↵
Worked for me mail Version 7.1 (1827) running OS X 10.9.1.
