Language Keyboard Shortcuts how?

Hi, I am using Mac OSx Tiger and I do not know how to switch the language with a simple press of some buttons. Can someone please show me how to do this? Thanks in advance.

The default is Cmd-Space, but since this is the same default as Spotlight, you may need to activate and change the shortcuts for either Input Menu or Spotlight in SystemPreferences>Keyboard&Mouse>KeyboardShortcuts.

A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

Hi(Bonjour)!
Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
"+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
+I can confirm that:+
+a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
+b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
+- close FCE (if open)+
+- open System Preferences/International/Language+
+- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
+- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
+- close System Preferences+
+- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
+It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
Piero "
As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
This solution allows to restart the computer.
It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.

Hi Michel,
I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).

FireFox keyboard shortcuts - how to use old, traditional scheme?

I still have no idea why did FF team decided to touch keyboard patterns:
- It is not design/features/etc. Eyes can adapt to anything, indeed, no problem
but
- This is in the essence how your fingers use software, that's a physical world. Hands definitely are MUCH more sensitive.
I would like to note that I have all three (IE, Chrome, FF) browsers installed, I used FF last few years, but a few months (or half a year?) ago they made that radical update which touched not eyes/brains, but hands. And that's a mess:
- Home and End keys simply are not used now in FF :-/ (and earlier it was used for scrolling page in current tab)
- PgDw and PgUp keys are used for going forward/back (!) in your tab
- to switch tabs to the right you have to use Ctrl+Tab, and for back Ctrl+Shift+Tab
etc.
etc.
To say that I was disappointed is to say nothing. I tried, week or so, to adapt to new tradition of keyboard use in FF, but I miserably failed. Then, ** for some other reason ** I ran Chrome. And since then I am Chrommed....
- PageUp and PageDown keys do work in Chrome for scrolling page
- Home and End keys do work in Chrome for scrolling page
- Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn - you switch tabs
People like me do NOT switch to Mac because (I work mostly in MS Office) there a bit different (really minor) keyboard shortcuts etc. etc.
I am stuck. Or they are some kind of Linux or whatever guys... And I even don't know how to give them feedback, and how to show them that there MANY people like me - we love FF but your change of keyboard shortcuts touched not brain/eyes, but our hands.

Language keyboard shortcuts

Hi All!!!
I configured language shortcuts through the international preference pane. I use ctl-option-z and ctl-option-x as the input shortcuts. When I try to switch to the non-english language it works through the keyboard. Once I start typing I can no longer switch in-between the languages using the keyboard. I need to use the mouse to manually select English and then I can once again switch freely between the languages.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks
Netta

Once I start typing I can no longer switch in-between the languages using the keyboard.
Does it work correctly when you use the normal shortcuts, like Command + Space? Although in theory you should be able to choose any shortcut you want, it could be that some do not work right. Or at least try replacing Control by Command.

Change keyboard shortcuts, e.g. command-tab to control-tab

Any utilities for changing OS X keyboard shortcuts listed in
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343
such as control-tab rather than command-tab for 'Switch application–cycle forward' ?
(Not the same as swapping control key for command key)

In word , if you press "alt" show you all the options you have . Appear numbers or letters in each options of the toolbar. So is more easy to work with the keyboard. How do you do this in pages?
Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Keyboard Viewer. Then select Keyboard Viewer from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen. It will show all the special characters you can make when you press the alt and alt + shift keys.

Spotlight / Language Input Menu Keyboard Shortcuts

In the Mouse & Keyboard Preference Pane, I disable the keyboard shortcuts for the Language Input Menu.
In addition, I try to change the keyboard shortcut for Spotlight from CMD-Space to Option-Space.
The only problem is that these prefrences reset themselves upon logout.
Is there any way to fix this, or can someone point me to the .plist file for keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks in advance.

can someone explain in more detail on how to change the keyboard shortcut? on my old imac, i was able to switch languages by using cmd-spacebar.. but on my macbook, it seems to direct to another command.
how do i change that so i have a hotkey on my keyboard to change languages?? (i'm very tech. challenged, so baby steps would be goog >_<!!) thanks for the help!

How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
Many thanks!
Amadeus

Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

How to apply different keyboard shortcuts to an actions with the same name but in different menus within one application?

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help. I have the application "djay" and in two different menus there is the action "Eject". I was wondering if it's possible to apply different keyboard shortcuts to those actions with the same name? I can't see how to do it as it seems you can only write the action but as there are two it doesn't seem to work for me.
For example:
djay>Table-1>Eject - ⌘⇧1
djay>Table-2>Eject - ⌘⇧0
Thanks in advance for any help!!

A NodeList doesn't only contain 1 element. In your example it contains ALL <Data> elements inside the document.
NodeList nodes = document.getElementsByTagName("Data");
System.out.println(nodes.getLength() + " \"Data\"-elements found");
for(int i=0; i<nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Node node = nodes.item(i);
}

I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

LizMaddock,
you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

How can I set up a custom keyboard shortcut for volume control?

Hi all,
I use my black MacBook at work, connected to an external monitor and external keyboard. I'm looking for a way to set up the F buttons on my external keyboard as volume control, just as they do on my laptop keyboard. Looking for F3 to F5 to be volume mute, down, and up, respectively.
I tried going into Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences but since there is no menu item for volume control I can't seem to add it. Anyone know how I can go about doing this or what I'm missing?
Thanks
Mike

paste the following into Applescrpt Editor (it's in /Applications/Utilities)
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
set curVolume to output volume of (get volume settings)
-- work out the new setting
if curVolume < 96 then
set newVolume to curVolume + 5
else
-- can't go over 100
set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it
set volume output volume newVolume</pre>
this script will increase volume by 5 (out of 100) any time you run it. you can adjust this of course. save the script somewhere.
You can use a 3rd part app launcher to bind a keyboard shortcut to it. I use Butler. there are many others: Quicksilver, ikeys, quickeys, Spark, Launchbar.
this will work the fastest.
If you don't want to use 3rd party tools for this you can make a service using automator but that might be a bit slower than the first option. open automator. it will give you a pulldown screen wiuth the choice of what you want to make. choose "service". set it to receive no input and be available in all applications. add the following "run apple script" action to the service
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters}
set curVolume to output volume of (get volume settings)
-- work out the new setting
if curVolume < 96 then
set newVolume to curVolume + 5
else
-- can't go over 100
set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it
set volume output volume newVolume
end run</pre>
save the service, go to keyboard system preferences->keyboard shortcuts->services and make a shortcut for the service you just created.

How do I setup a keyboard shortcut for an item in the Services menu?

In every Application, under the application menu is a "Services" folder. I would like to be able to setup a keyboard shortcut for one of these services (namely Skype).
I am a heavy user of the "Services > Skype > Call" command and I would love to have a keyboard shortcut for it.
I went to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, clicked on the plus sign to create a new shortcut (all applications) and entered "Services…Skype…Call" and assigned it to a keyboard command (shift-F1).
It doesn't work. Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?

Hi
Also - have a look at the reply I gave at the link below (sorry - don't know how to insert proper links here).
May be of interest, maybe not.
Best,

How can I import my keyboard shortcuts from my iPhone to my new MACBOOK pro?

Now I'm guessing that 99% of you don't use this feature on iPhone or Macbook so I'm curous to know who knows the answer
I recruit a lot and have canned texts and emails (which means I usually say the same thing)
in my iPhone I set it up (by going to General, Keyboard, Shortcuts) to have when I type in a certain phrase, it types on something else. FOR EXAMPLE
"randq" would automatically turn into "Random Question, do you know anyone open to making more money?"
I have around 40 of these shortcuts and want to save myself the time manually entering them one by one into my macbook.
I know where these settings ARE but I'm wondering if there's a shorter way to do this?
(Settings are under Language and Text, TEXT"
If you are able to help, that would be awesome!

You may do better asking in the iPhone forms here:
