Keyboard shortcuts moved.

As I woke my Macbook up from sleep today, my hotkeys had suddenly "disappeared" (the ones to change brightness on F1 and F2, the one to see all windows on F3 and the one to show widgets on F4). After I tried out the media keys (volume/track/..) and it started doing the commands which used to be on F1/F2/F3 and F4, as if they'd all been "shifted" over to other hotkeys. I didn't install any software recently either.
I restored hotkeys to default in System Preferences --> Keyboard and Mouse, but now I am unable to use my media keys since there's no way to set them up in Keyboard and Mouse settings.
Does anyone have a solution for me to change my hotkeys back to the way they used to be?

I'll rephrase that to simplify things a little (in hope of getting some answers..!). The hotkeys at the top of my keyboard have been removed, I cannot restore them to the way things used to be by setting the hotkeys back to default.
Is there any other way I could restore Leopard without losing installed programs and data for example?
Thanks in advance.
Just a thought, but zapping the PRAM might help.
■ Shut down your computer. Turn the computer back on and immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R, continuing to press until you hear the startup sound for the second time. This resets the computer’s parameter random-access memory (PRAM).
IMPORTANT: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

  • Moving/copying custom keyboard shortcuts

    Hi,
    I have PremierPro CS5 running on a MACBook Pro. I have created a load of custom keyboard shortcuts and basically want to copy this file over to another edit machine I work on.
    is this possible!.
    thanks in advance

    Yes, I'm aware of these keyboard shortcuts to move the cursor around and for selecting text. But I want to move the actual paragraphs around. So if I have 5 paragraphs, I want to use keyboard shortcuts to more paragraph 3 in front of paragraph 1. Not by selecting the text, cutting the text, moving the curser, and pasting the text.
    In OpenOffice I could set a keyboard shortcut (CtrlShift^) to move the current paragraph above or below the surrounding paragraphs. Is this possible?

  • Keyboard shortcuts in terminal.app for moving to next and previous tabs

    Hi,
    In Terminal.app, if you click on the Window menu item, it tells you that the keyboard shortcuts for moving to the next and previous tab are ⌘} and ⌘{.
    When I try to use those shortcuts however all I get is it beeping at me.
    The only way I've found to move from tab to tab is ⌘-shift--> and ⌘-shift-<-
    What do I have to do to get the ⌘} style shortcuts working??
    Thanks

    Here are some to get you going:
    Ctrl + A Go to the beginning of the line you are currently typing on
    Ctrl + E Go to the end of the line you are currently typing on
    Ctrl + L Clears the Screen, similar to the clear command
    Ctrl + U Clears the line before the cursor position. If you are at the end of the line, clears the entire line.
    Ctrl + H Same as backspace
    Ctrl + R Let’s you search through previously used commands
    Ctrl + C Kill whatever you are running
    Ctrl + D Exit the current shell
    Ctrl + Z Puts whatever you are running into a suspended background process. fg restores it.

  • Keyboard Shortcut for moving a clip in timeline to a higher or lower track?

    Hi all,
    Sure seems like this should exist but I cannot find it.
    I want to be able to select clips in the timeline and click a keyboard shortcut to have the clip jump straight up to the next track above.
    Anyone know if this is possible?
    I have six hours of edited material and literally thousands of B-camera clips to move.... a keyboard shortcut would really help in this situation.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    In the PDF files of the FCP user manual, and in the Quick Reference (Keyboard Shortcuts) menu item from within FCP.
    Option-↑ (that's Option & the Up Arrow) This works provided that there are no clips in the track space directly above the clips that you're looking to move. (if there are clips, it will fail; you'd need to select those clips as well for it to work. That or move those clips first.)< </div>
    So, we all have to ask, "Why isn't this in the manuals? And, we might as well ask, how many other undocumented features are there in FCP? "

  • Keyboard Shortcut for moving audio

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to move an audio track the smallest increment?  I am trying to sync audio with video and when I use the mouse to drag the audio left of right along the timeline, it jumps more than the minimum allowable increment.

  • Keyboard shortcut for moving documents?

    Hi all,
    Potentially a long shot, but was wondering if a keyboard shortcut exists to move documents into a folder on my computer?
    Files downloaded get save to my Desktop and I sort into folders from there, and was wondering if there was a way to make this process easier - e.g. like sorting emails in an email inbox into a folder.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

  • I hate it when they change all the keyboard shortcuts. Is there a fix for these?

    I don't understand why Adobe thinks that consistency is a bad thing, but it seems that everytime they update they go jerking with my keyboard shortcuts. Last time it was Indesign, this time it Photoshop that has me complaining. Usually I can change things back to the way I like under Edit/ Keyboard Shortcuts... but this time they've really done it.
    Probably the 2 sets of shortcuts that I use the most over the last 15 years of using Photoshop, thus have become a natural reflex, when using the program are Toggling between CMYK channels via cmd-1,2,3&4, (sorry using cmd 3,4,5&6 is just completely unnatural) and Fit to Window (cmd-0). I cannot find a menu selection anywhere that would allow me to change these back, and Fit to Window has been completely removed from the view menu altogether! WTF?
    I guess I could get used to the new channel key commands if need be, but no Fit to Window? what is this world coming to?
    Anyone know of a workaround to this problem.

    Heh...found the ad-copy I wrote for AccessPad Pro:
    You're a power-user. The applications you work with do your bidding like YoYo Ma's Cello, like Perleman's violin, like Bill Evans' piano.
    You've customized the way your applications openall the Tools and Palettes show up right where you like them. You may even have a few custom workspace arrangements for different purposes. You switch between them with a mouse click, and you're ready to go.
    You've made brilliant use of Actions, Macros, Scripts and other built-in time- and effort-saving functions.
    You know hundreds of keyboard shortcuts, and have spent time reassigning the defaults to more deftly meet your needs. You've assigned F-key shortcuts to some of those functions that don't even have shortcuts.
    You're a power-user, but you've run up against a couple things that put a brick wall in front of your ever-increasing efficiency.
    Firstyour keyboard is designed for typing actual text. It's been that way since the dawn of the first mechanical typewriters. The way the keys are arranged are meant to make it easy for your fingers to find the keys. Even if you use the arguably better Dvorak arrangement for key assignments. Even if you have one of those split-and-angled "ergonomic keyboards, they're still designed to do one thing well: Let the user type text as efficiently as possible.
    Your keyboardwhatever the specieswas never meant to be an efficient, ergonomic way to access the shortcuts you depend on. For your current keyboardnay, ANY keyboardto perform optimally as a shortcut access device, you'd do well to have a third hand, or a freakishly long set of fingers that could bend 360 degrees in any direction.
    SecondYour keyboard only allows a finite number of shortcuts. If you find yourself wishing and begging for just one more F-key, so you wouldn't have to get rid of some of your old shortcuts just to add a newly discovered "must-have", you're out of luck. It's about impossible to find one that has any more than 16 F-keys. Even if you could find a keyboard with more user-assignable keys, there's still the matter of the first problem, that is: How to reach them easily and quickly?
    Forget all of those hassles, starting now.
    The AccessPad Pro, by Phosergistics, is a computer peripheral designed from the ground up to allow youthe kings and queens of all power usersto have access to a virtually unlimited number of shortcuts. It sits on your desk, opposite the hand you use for operating your mouse. You rest your hand on it, in a comfortable relaxed manner. Notice where your thumb naturally falls. Right there, under your thumb, you find that there are buttons that replicated the Command & Option keys found on your keyboard. They can be pressed and activated independently or in tandem.
    Under the heel of your hand is a somewhat larger button. Press down slightly, and you'll enable the same behavior as the Shift key on your keyboard.
    Using your thumb and the heel of your hand you can enable 6 combinations of modifiers.
    Now, look at your fingers. Beneath where they naturally rest on the AccessPad Pro you'll see six gracefully curved rows of buttons, 4 in each row. These buttons are arranged ergonomically, so the slightest curl of your finger can find and press any of the 24 buttons.
    Let's do some simple math: 6 combinations of modifier keys, multiplied by 24 easily reachable, user-assignable function buttons...The AccessPad Pro gives you comfortable access to a whopping 144 shortcut assignments, all without moving your hand.
    But that's not all. 144 shortcuts isn't enough for you? No problem. You can have a virtually unlimited number of these 144 shortcut sets, user assignable to work system-wide, or on a per-application basis, and you can load any set, any time you want. And because these custom shortcut assignments are written to a preset file using the industry standard XML scripting language, you can save these sets as tiny text files which you can share and trade with users on either the Mac or Windows platform.
    You're a power-user. Forget about trying to grow a 3rd hand. Forget about wishing you hand foot-long fingers.
    Use your mouse for moving your cursor.
    Use your keyboard for typing text.
    Use AccessPad Pro to speed up everything else you do on your computer. Try it for a week and you'll wonder how you ever worked without it.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

    In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
    Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
    I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
    These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?

    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!

  • What is the Keyboard Shortcut for Next/Previous Message in Lion Mail?

    Using the 'full screen' message viewer (rather than the preview pane) how do I progress to an older/newer message in a folder without closing the window?

    MOE O wrote:
    So Entourage can go to the previous message?  How do you do that?
    I can't stand that Mail always goes to the next newest message after deleting.
    Every other email program I've ever seen (including Entourage - see below) can do this.  Why can't Apple?  I don't want to touch the mouse most of the time because it really slows down work to move ones hands back and forth.   I did a quick web search and found these shortcuts for all the major programs.  If you know of any other program besides Apple Mail that doesn't have this, let me know.
    Until then, if Outlook, Outlook Express, Entourage, Sparrow, Postbox, and Thunderbird have had this, what's Apple's problem adding it?

  • What is the keyboard shortcut to sleep display on the Macbook Air?

    On my Macbook Pro it's ctrl-shift-eject. There is no eject button on the Macbook Air so what is it?
    Yes I know about Hot Corners. Yes I know you can turn the brightness right down. I want the keyboard shortcut.

    Sorry for being a Johnny-Come-Lately to this thread, but I just found it.
    I do not like using a Hot Corner (alone) because it is too easy to inadvertently sleep the screen by random movement of the the cursor. However, there is a solution....
    You can add a "modifier key" (e.g., the "Command" key) to the hot corner sequence so that moving the cursor to the chosen hot corner does NOT sleep the screen unless you also push and hold the modifier key.
    To add a modifier key, open "System Preferences", go to "Desktop & Screen Saver", choose the "Screen Saver" tab, and click on "Hot Corners…". Open the dropdown for the corner you prefer. Before clicking "Put Display to Sleep" hold down the Command key (or another modifier key*)  and then click "Put Display to Sleep".
    Voilà! Now the display will sleep only if you hold down the Command key before moving the cursor to the chosen Hot Corner.
    *I believe the only modifier keys available for this are Shift, Control, Option and Command -- you can use any one of them or combinations.

  • In Premiere Pro CC 2014 Is there a "go to timecode" keyboard shortcut??

    So I looked around a bit, and I can't seem to find the keyboard shortcut for this. So rather than give up, I decided to finally join this forum so I can ask the experts. As well as find other answers to nagging questions I have about adobe products in general.
    Basically I am just trying to find a way to jump around my timeline using timecode, without having to reach over to my mouse and click on this: every time I want to change the timecode.
    Thanks in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    On my system you don't have to use the mouse.
    If you have the timeline panel or the Program panel active, and start entering numbers on the numeric keypad portion of the keyboard, they automatically begin to populate the timecode window. Hit enter on the keypad and the playhead is moved to the timecode location you have entered.
    If you use Shift + 0 to switch to the Source monitor, again, just typing numbers on the numeric portion of the keyboard populates the timecode window. Hit enter on the keypad and the source monitor playhead is moved to the timecode location within the clip you have entered.
    The catch, as I said, is that you must be entering a timecode number that can be found within the duration of clip, otherwise your typing is ignored. No mousing required.

  • Keyboard shortcuts from Tiger/Leopard not working in Snow Leopard

    OK, here are two examples: In Mail.app I used to press CMD-option-J to invoke the Delete Junk Mail dialog. Now it doesn't work if I have switched to the English US keyboard input method; any other selection of keyboard input works (I use English US, Greek, Unicode Hex Input and another greek one from vodkatini.gr called "Ελληνικά").
    Also, within Graphisoft ArchiCAD 13 I used option-O (that's the letter 'O') to access one command (it's Document>Layout Book>Open assigned Master Layout). This worked up until I switched to Snow Leopard. Now it only works if I have enabled the Unicode Hex Input keyboard input method.
    Anyone cares to shed some light? Has something changed in the way keystrokes are interpreted in the new OS?
    FWIW, when I go to ArchiCAD's keyboard shortcuts preferences dialog (it's where the user can customize them to their liking), for the first time ever I notice the following: if I try to assign option-O as the shortcut for a command, the field which should confirm visually what I have pressed (and which up until now used to reflect my keystroke by displaying "Option-O" so I can be sure what I am trying to assign to the specific command) now shows "ø". Now, at first it looks like Snow Leopard is interpreting the keystroke as the special 'o' with the diagonal (sorry, don't know what it's called); it's puzzling, though, that it doesn't behave the same way when I press option-E for the keystroke (which should, by analogy, produce the character 'é') and so on.
    Thanks for any tips, people.

    None of this works for me because, as I'm using SpamSieve, Mail's inbuilt Junk Mail filtering is turned off and I don't have a 'Junk' folder. What is puzzling is that I certainly used this shortcut before (I think to empty the Trash after deleting everything from the 'Spam' folder - which moved it to the Trash) which seems a bit odd. After the upgrade I found this didn't work. Adding a Greek keyboard made no difference.
    Perhaps someone who isn't using SpamSieve can try this out.

  • Keyboard Shortcut for bullets (Command-Shift-L) no longer works

    Hey Guys,
    It seems so odd and I find it so irritating that I have been using this keyboard shortcut which is Command-Shift-L for bullets in Outlook, Notes and almost any word processing applications. All of a sudden this seems to have gone and now replaced by a Google Search. I tried researching a lot on the internet and found many articles which confirmed that this was indeed a keyboard shortcut but I couldnt find even one which could tell me what happened to it and how to make it work again. I've got so used to this shortcut because my work involves mainly around drafting emails and documents.
    I have Macbook Pro Retina 13inch 2013 model & running Mac OSX 10.9.4 OS.
    Now I did find one website link which told me how to disable the Safari trigger for this shortcut and I was successful in removing that shortcut. But I am stuck at the point where it's just blank. So now when I press these keys, nothing happens because no shortcut is set to it. I am moving in circles and would really appreciate if anyone can help.
    P.S I've already gone through many links which say create paragraphs, this and blah blah but sorry I am not interested in that....Some links also say that Option + 8 key works for the bullets but that doesnt work for me either. However, I dont want that too. I would want the original shortcut which was there and would really appreciate if someone can tell me how to get it back or even configure it back to the way it was. Sorry for being rude but I am just frustrated with the long hours I have spent in fixing this silly issue and don't want the similar answers which I have already come across on the other links. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for your reply. I can't seem to find the bullets option in Shortcuts. Could you give me more details on how to make that happen.
    There is no bullets option in Shortcuts.  Defining shortcuts works by binding menu items in an application to a key combination. You have to find the name of a menu item in the application   you are using.
    For example in "Notes" is a menu "Format > Lists > Insert Bulleted List"
    To bind it to the shortcut "⇧⌘L" open the Keyboard System Preferences > Shorttcuts tab and press "+" to add an application shortcut.
    Type the name of the menu item "Insert Bulleted List" and enter the key combination.
    This will work in "Notes", but you have to identify the names of menu items that will produce bullets  in your other applications, if you want to add the shortcut for them.

  • Spaces Keyboard Shortcut

    Hi all,
    This past week I upgraded to 10.5.2 and started playing with Spaces. I set up the Command+Arrows to switch between the different Spaces I created, but then I realized that this was also the keyboard shortcut to move the cursor to the end of a line of text in a word processor or Mail or whatever.
    I got back into the preferences and changed the keyboard back to Control + Arrow to switch between Spaces, thinking that I'd get my keyboard "go to the end of the line" shortcut back, but that didn't happen. So now I have no keyboard shortcut to quickly navigate to the end of a line of text.
    Is there anyone out there that knows how to get me back to square-one on this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    I tried replicating what you did, changing the Spaces to Command+Arrow, moving around Spaces a few times using the new key combination, and then changing back to Control+Arrow. But I couldn’t replicate what is happening to you - my Command+Arrow went back to moving me to the end of the line or beginning of the line in MS Word and Mail.
    A couple of things you might try. Go into Spaces and uncheck Enable Spaces. See if your Command+Arrow works properly. If not, try going back into Spaces, re-enable Spaces and remove all your applications from their Spaces and again disabling Spaces. Then see if your Command+Arrow to move to the end returns.
