Keyboard Shortcuts to switch spaces changing.

I have configured my keyboard shortcuts to use custom shortcuts for switching spaces (I have 7 spaces).  I use command + 1 to switch to space 1, command + 2 to switch to space 2, etc.  However, for some time now, when I log out, lock the screen, or anything other than a total shut down or restart, my shortcuts stop working.  By that, I mean that hitting command + 2 will take me to space 3 instead of 2.  This wouldn't be that big of a deal except my workflow has certain apps set to certain spaces and being thrust to the wrong one (and which wrong one changes again when I log out, lock screen, etc).  When I check my shortcuts in preferences, they all still show as being correct.  This has happened across multiple macs (2 MBP Retinas and a brand new iMac) on different (non-transferred) users all with Mountain Lion.  Please help!

I know this is an old post, but in case someone else has this problem:
Try going to System Preferences -> Mission Control and uncheck the box for "Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use".

  • Keyboard shortcuts to switch TTYs changed

    I have a problem similar to what is described by other people in this thread, but I didn't want to hijack it because this is a different issue than what the OP was talking about.
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128226
    I recently updated the kernel to 3.14.6-1 and this problem started appearing after that.
    Whenever I press Alt + left or right, it switches to the next or previous TTY.
    Previously, I switched TTYs with Ctrl Alt Fx. Now only Alt Fx will switch TTYs.
    The Alt + left/right TTY switching did not happen before, and now it interferes with going forward or back in browsers.
    I looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_Shortcuts, and it seems that the shortcuts in the Terminal/Virtual Console section carry over into the X server.
    How can I get rid of the Alt + left/right shortcut and require Ctrl to be pressed to switch TTYs with a F-key?

    This happens in the console and X.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_Shortcuts It seems that X doesn't disable the virtual console shortcuts when it starts (or whatever it does to keep the TTY shortcuts from doing things).

  • Are there keyboard shortcuts for switching to desktops with fullscreen apps?

    Coming from SL, one functionality that I used a lot was keyboard shortcuts to go to different applications.
    For instance, I had assigned Mail to Space 2, iTunes to Space 3 etc.
    Then it was possible to instantly go to Mail by pressing alt-2, to iTunes with alt-3 etc.
    In Lion, it is possible to assign Applications to desktops, and use the same commands to go to these desktops. However, as soon as an application is 'fullscreened' it leaves its previous desktop, and cannot be reached with the old keyboard shortcuts.
    My question:
    is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut to switch to a desktop containing a fullscreen app?

    This is quite possible. The way to do it is with keyboard shortcuts. If you check the appropriate boxes you can use a keyboard combination of Control and the Desktop #. It makes it very easy to swtich between desktops.

    Open your Displays system preferences.  Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens?  If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens.  Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not.  Maybe there's something wrong with the connection.  Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket.  The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
    If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor.  Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

  • Keyboard shortcut to switch between Song/Album/Artist

    Is there a keyboard shortcut for switching between Song/Album/Artist/Composer etc. view in the top right corner of iTunes? If there's not, then consider this a feature request!

    Not exactly, but down-arrow will swap the images, and 'z' will always zoom the "select" one, if the "Link Focus" padlock is unlocked. Is that close enough for your needs?

  • Keyboard shortcuts to switch to SPECIFIC input sources

    I currently have 4 input sources on my mac (English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish).
    I use the keyboard shortcuts Command+Space and Command+Shift+Space, and I also have it set to automatically switch input sources as I switch to a document, but for some reason, it's just not working out very well for me. I feel like I'm always typing in the wrong language - particularly if I have tabs open in Safari with different languages, or something like Facebook chat which is in the same window, but may require all 4 languages.
    I'm wondering if there is any way to set language-specific shortcuts, for example Control+Command+E -> English, or Control+Command+H -> Hebrew.
    I looked in the menus of BetterTouchTool but could find nothing...
    Do I need to make some kind of script or app to do this?
    Thank you / תודה / Gracias / спасибо!

  • Keyboard shortcut to switch Spotify to full screen

    Hi, there's a custom keyboard shortcut in OSX which lets you switch apps to full screen. It doesn't work with all apps but I think it would be nice if Spotify would make this functional in their Mac app.  Looking forward for this to work.

    Hey there!
    You should sumbit this as an idea (or a bug, if this is supposed to work), instead of the Help section.
    Good luck with this!

  • Keyboard shortcuts to "pop ups" changed from 10.4 ?

    When changing or adding an extension to a file (i.e. .doc), I used to just hit "Command - A" to respond to the pop up of "Don't Add" or "add" extension warning.
    In 10.5 it seems that when I hit Command A, the window closes but it acts as if I hit the "Don't Add" button.
    Even when Tabbing to move the highlight to "circle" the "Add" button, it seems there is no way to accept this unless clicking with the mouse.
    Is this a global change int he OS, or something in Keyboard shortcut prefs?

    I'm not at my Mac right now, but for some buttons if you just hit command, the full shortcut appears in the button. Would it happen to be showing a different shortcut when you just hold down the command key?

  • Keyboard shortcut to switch between full screen windows

    My only major contention with Full Screen mode for applications in Mac OS X Mavericks (and now Yosemite) has been that there is no easy way to switch between multiple windows that are full-screened as you could do without (using the command+` keyboard shortcut). It's actually the sole reason I opted to not use them with Mavericks. I know, I'm supposed to use the multitouch trackpad capabilities, but I don't have access to one at work.
    So my question, now that the default behavior of what was previously the maximize button is to full-screen a window (I am additionally aware that I can option-click on the full-screen/maximize button to maximize a window), is there an easy keyboard shortcut that I simply haven't located to switch between windows in a single application?
    If not, can we please see this added in soon?

    Assign a key to Expose and use it to switch between Parallels in full screen and your other apps.

  • Keyboard Shortcut To Switch b/w Open Docs

    In previous versions of Photoshop, you could use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ (Command) and the "~" key to swap between open Photoshop documents. Now in CS3, you can't do that anymore. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks,

    Buko,
    If you misread, that would be a problem with eyesight or concentration.
    If you miss read, that would be sexist.
    And if I take note of your miss reading, that would be obsessive-compulsive disorder.
    So you'll please excuse me... I have to go wash my hands a few times.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between open documents?

    Is there an easy way to switch between 2 or 3 open documents in Pages, as when trying to combine excerpts from several places into a new document?

    No, there isn't. you can't even set your own shor cut keys as you don't know what the documents will be named. Normally you can add short cuts keys but only for those menus options that already exist but your documents will change. I have searched for the answer earlier as I also want it.
    There is in the Pages Help menu an option for  Keyboard shorcuts but nothing is mentioned ther about changing document windows.
