Keyboard Shortcuts in use?

Anyone know of a way, please, to detect which Keyboard Shortcuts are used by which applications and/or the OS at any one time: I have a conflict?
TIA!

Thanks, Linc; what I really need, though, is a way to see all the possible shortcuts used by all applications.
I am using Sibelius 6; it uses Cmnd-SHIFT-B (to create a new bar); but that shortcut isn't working.
I imagined such shortcuts were specific to the application. But it's been suggested to me that there's another application that's contending for Cmnd-SHIFT-B.
I have Send file to BlueTooth Device unchecked.
Hence my need to see which shortcuts all applications are using.
Your help appreciated!

  • Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts to use on a wireless keyboard without a numeric pad?

    Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts to use on a wireless keyboard without a numeric pad?  What I'm missing most is the Page Up/Page Down and Begin/End functions, but a reference list for all available functions would be nice.

    Yup. Best $11 you can spend:

  • How do I customize Firefox keyboard shortcuts without using an add-on?

    I want to modify shortcuts '''without using add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins'''. In other words, I would like to know how to modify a keyboard shortcut in a way that does '''not '''involve installing a plug-in, extension, or add-on. So, an answer that states that I should install this extension, or that plug-in is a useless answer and will be rated unhelpful as will indicate that you didn't read the question.
    Again: How do I modify a keyboard shortcut '''WITHOUT '''installing any add-ons? For example, how would I change the homepage shortcut from Alt+Home to something else, without installing any add-ons?

    I actually made this happen a few versions back, but I don't remember how I did it. I have looked through the about:config entries and can't find it. I looked through the ...xul keybindings and did not find it. I know it can (or recently could) be done, but I don't remember how.
    The problem with the existing shortcut is that on a laptop, the Home button is frequently sharing space with another key. It is a hassle to have to access Home and the alt key when accessing Home is itself an operation.
    The problem with add-ons is that I cannot, in a reasonably quick momentary glance, determine their safety now, nor in the future as they are updated. Since Mozilla does not certify add-ons as safe, I prefer to avoid them.
    Other programs don't present such difficulties with simple things like modifying shortcuts. It's pretty standard for that to be accessible from a Customize submenu in one of the main drop-downs.

  • Keyboard shortcut for using the color picker in another application

    Hi, I'm new here. My first post.
    I remember there were a keyboard shortcut in Ps for using the color picker in another application. For example picking a color in a web browser. I just don't remember the keyboard shortcut. Anyone know it?
    Regards,
    Leif

    Thanks! This was the method I was looking for. Unfortunately it doesn't work when I drag the eyedropper to a browser window on a secondary monitor. Maybe it has to do with my setup, Mac/Mavericks and Ps CC 2014. Anyway thanks for your help, you gave me the answer I was looking for.

  • Keyboard shortcut for "Use grayscale" ?

    In my workflow I need to turn on and off greyscale a lot. Does anybody know a keyboard shortcut to do that?
    Going to System Preferences > Universal Access > and click "Use grayscale" is a bit annoying.
    I know there's a shortcut for "Switch to black-on-white", so why not for "Use grayscale" ?
    Thanks in advance for any hints.

    I think, the only way to add a shortcut for "Use grayscale" is to create an Applescript, that will be launched by a 3rd Party Hotkey-Manager application like Butler, Quicksilver or others.
    Because you can´t script the "Universal Access" pane directly, you have to realize it with a special kind of Applescript, called UI-Scripting.
    So first of all, if you will give it a try, open "Universal Access" and "enable access for assistive devices". This will be necessary to make UI-Scripting work!
    I do not know the correct Applescript terminology, but this will work:
    tell application "System Preferences"
    activate
    reveal first anchor of pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
    delay 1
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "System Preferences"
    keystroke tab
    keystroke tab
    keystroke tab
    keystroke tab
    keystroke tab
    keystroke tab
    keystroke tab
    keystroke space
    end tell
    end tell
    quit
    end tell
    Most of this 3rd Party apps like Butler can run this Applescript directly.
    Or open the script in ScriptEditor.app and save it as an application(-bundle). Drag this application then to your dock and run it from there.

  • All Keyboard shortcuts in using JDEV

    Hi,
    I didnot find any document on Internet that contains all the keyboard shortcuts using JDeveloper.
    Some of them can be seen in the JDev menu's themself but not all, like "the keyboard shortcut for matching flower braces".
    So, please, if somebody have compiled them, please send me or post it here.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    in JDeveloper, go to Tools--> Preferences-->Accelerators for a list of commands and associated keyboard shortcuts. Note that not all commands have keyboard shortcuts defined by default, but you can assign new ones.

  • My screen is crack, are there keyboard shortcuts to use S-Video

    Good afternoon all,
    I am a novice with Macs. Unfortunately, due to my own carelessness, my display is destroyed. I don't have the ability to see more than the top left corner of the screen.
    I have the S-Video - VGA adapter cord. However, I don't have the ability to change the settings on my computer b/c I can't see the screen. Is there a shortcut or keyboard process that could guide me through changing those settings?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Hi, proto, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You will need the use of a second computer monitor, at least temporarily, and a USB keyboard and mouse. The following procedure may work using a TV set connected via S-Video, but I'm not certain of that, so I suggest using a real monitor instead, at least to verify the that Powerbook is still capable of operating in display-closed mode when wired to a conventional monitor.
    Follow the instructions in this article to operate the computer in display-closed mode.
    If it works, give the same procedure a try using your TV set and connecting it via S-Video. If that isn't successful, I suspect it's because of the S-Video connection, and you'll probably have to use a regular computer monitor instead.

  • Pause Video Keyboard Shortcut While Using Word

    I am curious if there is a way to pause a video playing on the internet while using word.
    I am watching a prerecorded lecture on Safari and taking notes in Word. It is incredibly annoying having to switch back and forth to pause the video so I can copy down what the professor says.
    It would be a huge help if I could simply hit "Command or Option Whatever" and simply pause the video without leaving Word. Perhaps modifying the F8 key (a pause button that tries to open iTunes when I hit it)?
    I really appreciate any help the community can lend. Thank you in advance.
    -Graham-

    I think the problem here is focus. The default keystroke for iTunes to play/pause will not be captured by the application unless you have the focus on iTunes.
    I have no idea how you are used to working, but if you are just taking some notes at first, can you not resize Word and place it next to the video playback window? Or perhaps if Word resizing is too difficult, use a smaller text editor to do the same, than cut and paste into your word document, post-note taking, to format, etc?
    Other than that, I don't know how to make custom shortcuts/key-assignments to create a work-around. Sorry.

  • Why am I unable to use Ctrl+Shift keyboard shortcuts in the Kotoeri input method on OS X 10.9?

    For some reason I'm unable to switch from Hiragana to Katakana and vice versa using the Ctrl+Shift+K and Ctrl+Shift+H keyboard shortcuts when using the Kotoeri IME. The shortcuts appear in the IME menu in the menubar.
    Have these shortcuts been changed in OS X Mavericks and the menu not updated, or does the menu not actively reflect the current keyboard shortcut settings? I'm using OS X 10.9.1 (if that helps at all).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the hint! I hadn't realized that Xcode 5.1.1 was so huge (2.18Gb) and assumed after an hour that the installation had frozen.

  • A very comfortable and useful keyboard shortcut is missing since shortly

    This is kind of a slight complaint about Apple having discarded a very useful shortcut for windows navigation: ctrl + > (forward to the next window of the active application) and ctrl + < (backward).
    Admittedly, these shortcuts were not officially documented, instead ctrl + tilde (or: accent) was and is indicated for obtaining the same effect. But I think most people will consent that these are impractical (or, with less composure, very bothersome to use compared to ctrl + >, which was easily to press with o n e hand ;-)) ).
    So, please, dear Apple after sales service, listen to the customer, and resuscitate those shortcuts (or bring up something else of even usefulness. Ctrl + F4 is definitely not the right answer, since you leave the active application here. There must be a reasonable way to go through all windows of a given application, for the sake of GUI usability) ! Thank you.

    You are talking to other users, not Apple. Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback to talk to Apple. BTW, did you know you can change most keyboard shortcuts yourself using software provided with every Mac? Look under the keyboard control panel of System Preferences.

  • Need to use a specific windows keyboard shortcut on Mac

    I need to use a specific keyboard shortcut for a program that I am running (via Parallels) but the same keyboard shortcut is used in OS X to take a screen shot of a window via dashboard, which takes precedence over the command I am attempting to use.
    The keyboard shortcut in "Windows-Speak" is Shift-Ctrl-W.  What are my options here? Can I deactivate that shortcut in OS X?

    CrossOver is a program that lets you run some Windows software withhout installing Windows. The emphasis is on some. At their website Crossover rates the supported software on a scale from Bronze to Gold - if the program you need to run is supported at the Gold standard you will probably be okay. Silver and Bronze ratings means the rated Windows software will run but with glitches or even missing functionality. (Silver being better support than Bronze, obviously.)
    Virtualization solutions such as VirtualBox (or the more capable and feature laden Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion) let you install another operating system (and software) to use at the same time as you use your Mac software. It is a nifty solution and while virtualization isn't quite as fast as running an OS totally native (BootCamp) the speed hit isn't all that significant and affects graphics rendering more than anything else.
    I'm an IT instructor and software trainer and about 80% of this work involves Windows software. I do it using a Mac computer running Windows in Parallels Desktop. If it weren't for the Apple logo on my notebook no one would know I'm using a Mac - and the notebook in virtualization feels faster than the cheap Dell computers we use.

  • Setting a new keyboard shortcut

    I am trying to set a new keyboard shortcut.  I named my New Set, chosen the Product Area, chosen the Command and tabbed to the New Shortcut window.  When I try to type in the New shortcut, I can only get 1 letter typed in and then that shortcut pops up(if I try to type Ctrl, as soon as I type C I get a message C   copy).  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Function assigned was swash
    Product Area:Panel Menu
    Commands:Character: Open type (swash)
    Shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+Alt+M
    as I follow in the lesson, using the type tool, the N is highlighted and then the keyboard shortcut is used and the N then has some added curlyques at the beginnig and at the end of the letter.
    When I try, it deletes the N and gives the green sign (looks like the symbol for non-joiner with a period beneath it).  Not sure why I would get this symbol when I try to insert a swash.

  • Mac upgrade to Yosemite, Adobe Indesign CS5 keyboard shortcuts not working -  t for text  - z for zoom - v for pointer etc

    So I upgraded my MACBOOK PRO (Retina, Mid 2012) 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
    to MAC OS X YOSEMITE
    Adobe Indesign CS5 generally works with some very annoying bugs.
    All major keyboard shortcuts that use a single key command have stopped working. and these happen to be the main ones I use all the time for editing...
    t for text
    z for zoom
    v for pointer
    It's annoying because now I have to keep  going back to the tool bar to change my cursor selection. It's just slowing me down.
    Annoying but workable.
    Has anyone else go this issue?
    An update or fix would be greatly appreciated.

    WARNING!!!
    I was contacted by  apparently a third party supplier called Adobe Systems via this forum
    They logged in to my computer via team viewer
    installed utorrent
    and proceed to download a cracked version of adobe cs6
    in the mean time saying on skype that Adobe no longer has Adobe CS6 on their server.
    This seemed very OFF to me and I disconnected the skype (and blocked Adobe Systems) and disconnected TeamViewer
    If I wanted a cracked version of Adobe CS6 I'm very capable of doing this kind of thing my self
    However I run a business I want to have a legitimate licensed copy of the software running for my staff.
    They were offering a fully licensed version of a Adobe Master Suite CS6 with my own unique ID for USD$400
    Again very OFF considering the upgrade from Adobe from Indesign CS5 to CS6 is almost AUD$1600
    I don't know how they got my email address from this forum but it seems that the adobe forum has been hacked!
    you have been warned!

  • 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?
