Keyboard shortcuts stopped working PS v11.0.2 Win7

  argh. The keyboard shortcuts stopped working a few weeks ago and I've been trying so many fixes that worked for others, but none work for me.
Photoshop v11.0.2
Windows 7
Dell Laptop Studio 1555
I periodically reset my prefereces - it does nothing to change the fact that the keyboard shorts don't work.
I've done a system restore to a date before this issue began. Nope, didn't work.
Not one of the shortcuts work. Not open, not close, not transform, not save,  not cut, not copy, not paste.....  This is incredibly frustrating in addition to wasting time because I STILL (lol) try to use the shortcuts. I've used them since 1991 and it's ingrained in me.
Please, I hope someone has a remedy.  As I research, I see more and more people having this problem.

You can always try mapping your own key's. If you insist..

Honestly, unless you need the NUM-Padd there are a lot of manufactures out there that make great wired/wireless keyboards that will support OS X out of the box. You can buy them at 7-11 I hear.
It's up to you, hears a little something to read from Microsoft, since your a noobie.

  • Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after upgrading to iOS 7

    Does anyone know how to make the keyboard shortcuts start working again in iOS 8? After I upgraded to I OS 8 on my iPad air, the keyboard shortcut stopped working. Is there anyone who knows how to make this work again? All the fixes online pertain to iOS 7 and earlier, and they're not applicable for iOS 8.
    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks!

    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.

  • Camera switching keyboard shortcuts stopped working

    I'm working on a multicam sequence, and I can switch cameras by clicking on the different shots in multicam view, but using the 1, 2, and 3 keys on the keyboard no longer switches the camera while I'm playing through.
    I've tried changing the shortcuts to different keys, but that didn't fix anything.
    Anybody else run into this issue?
    I feel like it's probably a toggle I inadvertently hit somewhere, but I have no idea how it happened.

    Thanks for the quick reply, but unfortunately I don't think that solves it.
    If I have the multicam sequence paused, and have the clip selected on the timeline, I can switch between camera angles with no problem.
    However, as soon as I start playing the sequence in the multicam monitor, the keyboard shortcuts stop working.
    Also, the only keyboard layout I have installed is US English.

  • Bold keyboard shortcut stopped working InDesign

    I am currently using InDesign through Adobe Creative Cloud on a Mac (Yosemite OS X). Just today, the keyboard shortcut for Bold stopped working. (Cmd + shift + B)  It beeps when I try to use it. I know that the font (Minion Pro) is working because I can manually select the bold version of it. Just the keyboard shortcut stopped working.

    Are you using a custom shortcut set? If you are not using the [Default] set look under Text and Tables>Apply Bold

  • IPhone 5 - Keyboard Shortcuts stopped working

    Hi Community,
    my iPhone 5 keyboard shortcuts stopped working since a couple of days. Moreover the same problem occurs with my iPad Mini 2.
    I didn't change any settings or whatsoever.
    Also very strange is, when I enter the keyboard shortcut settings, the whole setting app becomes super slow or crashes. And editing the settings is also super slow... I mean 15sec. after-click-reaction slow...
    Anybody has the same problem?

    I deleted the iCloud account on both devices, then recreated them but problem remains...

  • Hot Corners and Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

    When disconnecting from my 27" (that I use as a docking station with keyboard and mouse), in some cases my hot corners and keyboard shortcuts stop working.
    F11 does not show the desktop, Ctl-UpArrow does not show mission control. Ctr-left-right arrow does work, as i can still toggle between desktops.
    I know, lots of randomness here...
    A reboot fixes everything.

    I've go a Windows 7 system running CS5 and when I start Photoshop all my shortcuts are working but eventually really important ones like the brush tool sizing stop working. At the moment the only non-adobe/windows app running is iTunes and that have been running the whole time, turning iTunes off does not enable the stortcuts again.
    Has the only conclusion to this problem been to turn off other apps? This has been a problem for me since I upgraded to CS5 and its driving me a little mental !

  • Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

    When using Photoshop CC, my keyboard shortcuts are not working properly. For example, I will be cruising along on a painting and then my command-z will stop working. I then have to open the history tab and manually undo my last mark. Or I will attempt to switch from brush to eraser by hitting the E key and it doesn't switch. I ended up marking instead of erasing and am just doubling my work. I should mention I am using a Wacom Intiuos 3 tablet.
    This problem is crippling my work flow and is making the program near obsolete for my purposes. Please help!

    I'm having a similar issue. After a short while working, my shortcuts stop working.  I notice usually first with "undo" (cmd+z) then can't switch to simple tools like "eraser" (e) and feel like I'm suddenly imagining things...
    The workaround I've found so far is that I need to click on Photoshop with my mouse pointer, like the the top window bar, to kind of get my mac focused on photoshop again, then a keyboard shortcut will work, then sometime shortly after, while working, my keyboard shortcuts will stop registering again.  I hope this is helpful for elihalpert.  I hope this is the same issue so that there's better hope of it being found, duplicated, and resolved.
    This is really aggravating.  I haven't changed my equipment or workflow.  I have updated to Yosemite since the last time I recall working trouble-free.  But I'm fairly certain I'm not accidentally clicking out of photoshop or keyboard shortcutting to another program in any way.  I really hope someone sees this and can get to the bottom of it!

  • Spotlight menu keyboard shortcut stops working

    Frequently, when I use the Spotlight menu keyboard shortcut to activate the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of the screen, all I get is a highlight on the icon, but Spotlight itself doesn't open. So I can't start the search at all. However, the Spotlight window keyboard shortcut does work, and I can use Spotlight with no problems there. What is going on? The only way I can reactivate the simpler Spotlight menu version is by logging out of my account, then logging back in. It will work...but only for a while, then fail again, till I log out and log back in. Strange and frustrating.

    Rick,
    Find and delete the following files, then restart:
    Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder (com.apple.systemuiserver.plist)
    Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost Folder (com.apple.systemuiserver.000aXXXXadXX.plist) (X's will be numbers)
    Let us know what happens.

  • Command+Return and Shift+Return keyboard shortcuts stopped working

    I'm using Firefox 4.0 on a 21.5" iMac running Mac OS X version 10.6.7. Just this morning, the command+return and shift+return keyboard shortcuts to auto-complete the .com and .net addresses of websites stopped working. Command+w still closes a tab, and command+left click still opens a tab in a new window. However, when I type anything in the address bar ("mac" for example) and then hit command+enter, Firefox opens up a new tab with a Google search for the word I typed. The address for this new tab is as follows:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=mac&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
    Any idea what gives? I'm rather perplexed and frustrated.

    Just removed OmniBar and the problem went away.

  • Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after 10.5.8 update

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having problems with my keyboard after I updated to 10.5.8. More specifically the CMDOPTRight combo used in Firefox and Textmate (and possibly others) has completely stopped working.
    I've checked it with the Keyboard Viewer and whenever I press this combo nothing happens. Strangely enough, when pressed in any other combo these keys work fine. I have installed no new software, installed any other updates or changed any existing keyboard combo and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next.
    It's not the end of the world but any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

    It's alright, I've managed to create a workaround using Quicksilver custom triggers.

  • Search keyboard shortcut stop working

    Is there any tip to restore this fonction ?
    Manu thanks,

  • CS6 - Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working (Win7x64)

    I'm running Win7x64, just formatted my system a few weeks ago and installed everything, all updates, as well as Adobe CS6 and all of it's updates.
    My Photoshop CS6 is running 13.0.1.1, and is now experiencing this issue. Used it for almost a year without issues before.
    I'm using the default workspace, I added Actions to the right side toolbar and that's it. When I started having this issue, I closed off the panels along the bottom (ie. minibridge) and went into preferences-plugins and disabled the 2 items under extension panels, as per another thread I saw.
    It'll work fine, then quit. Sometimes simply closing and reopening the file fixes it, mostly I have to close Photoshop completely and reopen.
    I have an older Wacom Bamboo tablet, which I've unplugged but makes no difference.
    Seen a LOT of posts for this, not many solutions apart from updating Photoshop and disabling minibridge, which I've done. I've also seen threads as far back as CS4 about this problem so, surprised it's still an issue.
    Any solutions?

    Wow... helpful forum.
    Well, for someone else who may have the same issue (which seems to be a decent amount) I think I fixed my problem.
    In WinXP, I had a few keyboard issues which I figured out. When I install WinXP I click Canadian English. After everything is installed, under the keyboards/language settings, it would show the default US keyboard, the Canadain English, and it would for whatever reason always add in Canadian French. Deleting the French fixed my issues because I think with all the key-combos used in Photoshop shortcuts the language was getting switched... think default switch is 'LEFTALT+SHIFT'... which I use all the time when cropping.
    As a habit I always deleted the French one after an install. Win7 was the same, but didn't see French last time so didn't delete anything. Last installtion however I used a new disc. Win7 with SP1... checked under keyboards/languages and the default US was there, and the Canadian now shows as Multilingual.
    Deleted the Multilingual and just left the US default only, and after a week I have had no issues.

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working in Photoshop CC

    I have photoshop CC through Creatuve cloud.  My keyboard shortcuts stop working, then photoshop really slows down, then crashes.  I've been through Adobe support five times now, and it works for about 1/2 hour, then acts up again.  Any suggestions/reciommendations?  Thanks - Wendy Caro

    I am also having this problen since the update to Photoshop CC 14.2. The 14.2.1 update did not fix this and the problem was not there before 14.2.
    My problem is when a file is first opened, the key short cuts do not work. You need to physically click on the selection tool before any of the key shortcuts work. After clicking on the sleection tool I can then use all the key shortcuts as normal. This behaviour is repeated every time a new file is opened. Photoshop does not crash.
    I am on a Mac, OSX 10.8.5
    I am also using a Wacom Intuos 5 with the latest driver 6.3.7-3.
    FYI, I have seen significant slow down across the Adobe CC apps since a big Creative Cloud update a few weeks ago that introduced Photoshop CC 14.2 and InDesign 9.2 (which continues to be MUCH slower than CS6).
    The problems and slow down are NOT repeated on other identical Macs in our studio that do not have Wacom tablets. I believe the finger can be squarely pointed  at the Adobe/Wacom interface and both sides need to take a good look at their inter-workings.
    Tom.

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working sometimes

    iPad Air with iOS 8.1
    periodically my keyboard shortcuts stop working. I can't seem to come up with a method of getting them to work again. It seems though that eventually they will work. Does anyone else who experiences this problem have a solution?
    I've tried
    resetting the iPad and
    quitting all open apps and then resetting the ipad

    Adding some new info...
    It's a syncing issue with iCloud "Dictionaries" which is a hidden folder in the iCloud Drive folder. If you're a dev or comfortable using Terminal, the following command will place a "real iCloud drive" folder on your desktop which will allow you to see ALL the items in iCloud Drive. Inside this folder is the folder called "Settings" and then "Dictionaries". You can then see other nested folders from each device ID (Macs, iOS) that write to iCloud.
    This is not a fix but here's the steps to view those:
    1) In terminal:
    ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/ ~/Desktop/Real\ iCloud\ Drive
    2) You will now have an alias on your desktop to the iCloud Folder (you must choose to view it in a Finder window as list view)
    Drill down until you find a file with the extension .cdt
    3) Duplicate that file onto your desktop and CHANGE the extension to .zip and unzip it.
    4) ADD the extension .plist to the end of the UNIX file that was unzipped and then you can view it in text edit app and see the shortcuts info.
    Again, not fixing anything, but trying to narrow it down and hope that some developer/programmer out there with better knowledge than mine can help!
    Just a reminder to everyone to report the issue to Apple and go to Genius Bar if you have the time and call Apple Support:

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working while mouse over title-bar

    most of the time, while mouse is over the top title bar, keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T, Alt+D) are not working.
    This is a strange behaviour that happens only after i migrated to linux (ubuntu 10.10)
    Sometimes, after i try the shortcuts a few times, on middle of the screen also, then suddenly it works also when the mouse is on the title bar. It's pretty strange...

    Well, that's not the case here.
    I tried to focus on text field, and the keyboard shortcuts does work, so that's obviously not the case here.
    Sometimes the address bar is selected and i can write there, but when the mouse go over the top title, it suddenly stops reacting.
    And the Alt+D and Ctrl+T are not working doesn't matter if a text field is selected.
    BTW, sometimes it does work, it almost seems like an intermittent problem.
