Left Alt+Shift combination

When I click left Alt+Shift in order to change keyboard language, the Edit window (either in Code or in Design view) looses the focus, so I can't type anymore. I have to use the mouse (click where the text should be) and then start typing again.
Please note that it only occurs in Edit window (where the contents of the page are) and not in any other place. For example I don't have the problem when I'm in the Properties Panel and I want to type an ID in the second language (1st keyboard language is English, 2nd is Greek). Furthermore the problem is only DW (CS4) related. All the other applications are working as they should (Word, Excel, Photoshop, Firefox, etc).
The weird thing is that, when I first open DW the combination works OK, but after a while it doesn't. Especially, after I use the Snippets panel.(select a snippet and click the Insert button).
Any thoughts?

This is a known issue with switching keyboard layout in Dreamweaver. Switching keyboard layout results in the toolbars being redrawn. You can submit a bug report/feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, but there's nothing you can do about it apart from use the mouse to refocus the program after switching.

  • Alt Shift resets visible toolbars

    In Windows, switching keyboard layouts is often assigned to
    Alt-Shift.
    In Dreamweaver, Alt-Shift resets the toolbar set to
    'Document' and 'coding', which apparently is the default.
    If you have any other toolbar open, for example 'Standard'
    (which has Save and Save All icons), it disappears.
    Is there a way to modify the default set or is there a
    keyboard shortcut to make it reappear?

    In Vista, there are three options: Ctrl+Shift,

    Yes, I agree that it's a bug. I later spent some time
    experimenting with
    the issue, and I reported the bug to Adobe. Unfortunately, I
    doubt if a
    fix will be available before the next release of Dreamweaver
    (and
    there's no guarantee that it will be fixed even then).

    Thank you for pointing out my shortcomings. Perhaps I can
    remind you
    that this is a user-to-user forum. People like myself who
    offer
    assistance here do so on an entirely voluntary basis. You
    raised a
    problem. I pointed you in the direction of possible
    solutions.
    Unfortunately, neither proposed solution produced the desired
    result.
    If I had offered the proposed solutions in one of my books
    without first
    testing them, your criticisms would be fully justified. In
    this
    particular case, I think you are being unreasonable.

  • Removal of Alt + Shift + Left Arrow (goto prev document)

    Adobe Reader 9 has removed this option. The option Shift + Left Arrow does work as long as you have not changed pages in the current document.
    I still use Acrobat version 7 and find that many of our Cds no longer work properly. I need the Alt + Shift + Left Arrow for compatability reasons and because often I change page in the current document and then want to go back to the page I was looking at in the previous document.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Peter Abbott

    Hello -- Has there been any resolution / update re the removal of Alt + Shift + Left Arrow [go to previous document] option?
    I created thousands of links in multiple pdf documents in Acrobat V8 for readers who now have Reader 9 and can't navigate them... this is a disaster!
    How can Adobe software functionality go backwards like this?

  • Save for Web & Devices shortcut Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S not working

    Hi
    I've a really weird issue I'm running PS CS5 on Windows 7 on Dell XPS 1645 for some reason I'm unable to save for web using 'Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S' clicking the menu item works just fine however. This is driving me nuts any help or advice please??

    Some other program has porbably hijacked the key combination.
    you could first try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • How can I change the language on the editor with "alt + shift"?

    Hi,
    I created a java JApplet, with a JTextPane inside.
    I want the user to be able to change the language using the
    combination keys "alt + shift",
    but when I'm pressing ALT I'm loosing the focus (to the browser),
    so it's not working.
    When I'm holding the ALT key, and than pressing the Shift key twice!, It is working.
    How can I fix it so it will work with regular "alt + shift"?
    Thanks,
    Maoz

  • Picture resizing default from cmd+ctrl+shift back to cmd+alt+shift?

    Hi,
    Quick question from a CS5 newbie.
    Is there any way to change the picture resizing default from cmd+ctrl+shift back to the CS4 way of doing things ie. cmd+alt+shift.
    Cmd+alt+shift resizes from the centre of the image in CS5 rather than from the left edge, which is really bugging me! Can't find a way of changing it anywhere.
    Many thanks if anyone can help.

    Oh... Well on that same article that i posted above about Disk Utility, there is a section that outlines how to access Single User Mode. Give that a shot and see if you can do a disk repair.
    Hold: Cmd+S on boot
    Type: /sbin/fsck -fy
    That will start a disk repair
    If you get "** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK" then type "reboot" and see if your system will load
    If: "***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****" Then restart the disk repair untill such time as you get the "** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK" message
    Hope this helps!

  • Typing Arabic Text without Pressing ALT+SHIFT

    In Forms 6i (Web Application) User need to Type Arabic Text without Pressing

    International :
    Initial keyboard state : Local

    If I make the Client Regional Settings to Arabic it works in Client/Server but need to press ALT+SHIFT KEY in Web Environment.
    I believe there should be an alternative, being Web Application, Client Regional Settings can be any Language. (English,French,Arabic et...)
    Appreciate your assistance.

  • Win10: 7.5.0.102 crashes after changing language via Alt+Shift+(2\3)

    Windows 10 build 10130 @ English MUI
    Skype 7.5.0.102
    Language changing is set up to use Alt+Shift+(1\2\3) to switch to English\Russian\Ukrainian accordingly.
    After pressing Alt+Shift+2 or Alt+Shift+3 in any chat Skype stops responding. Bug existed since dinosaurs.
    I can help with debugging. Just tell me what to do.

    I'm sorry for providing an incorrect information, but the issue is still here. When I was writing that post the languages were switching without any issues, but now Skype crashes as it was before.
    It seems like this issue is floating and it can be reproduced only in some circumstances.
    Probably, it might be related to the hybrid power off mode of the WIndows 8 and Windows 10 or settings synchronization.

  • Action script for batch-opening psd layer files flat? (alt+shift?)

    hi
    i am daily batch processing with an action script to make flat tiffs from psd layer files, like 10-100 files every couple of days in my workflow.
    until now i could not fine a solution to begin the batch processing-action with opening layer files FLAT.
    the reason is: i am working with huge files, 5-20GB .psb files, (16bit, ECI-RGB, 50x100cm, 300dpi) and it takes a couple of seconds to open with my pcie-SSD.
    that multiplies the time it takes to open 50 of such files. i would gain a lot of time, if photoshop cs6 would not open it with layers, but flat.
    there is a workaround i am using daily: (osx) hold alt+shift, then click on the layer file in the finder and cs6 opens it flat.
    but that did not work in the action script. it doesnt store the keyboard command alt+shift.
    any idea how i could save time and use the alt+shift command in the action script or any other solution please?
    thanks
    peter

    I just tried to record this using ScriptListener, and it didn't record it either.  No indo in the ExtendScript SDK on this either.  I don't think that this is possible at this time.  Maybe someone who know more than I do can find a way.

  • I keep getting the error message "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked" even after resetting my preferences. I have to use Ctrl, Alt, Shift to start photoshop every time

    I'm unable to start Photoshop without holding down Ctrl, Alt, Shift each time I open it. Also Lightroom is now unable to open photos in Photoshop. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.

  • Alt+Shift works wrong in CS5 Dreamweaver

    When I working in main window (designer) and press Alt+Shift (standard switching language),  the following happens:
    1. Toolbars Style rendering, Document, Standard blinks
    2. Dreamweaver window looses focus, so I am not able to type anymore unless I click it.
    3. The focus goes on the Snippets tab.
    4. HOME, END and TAB keyboard keys stop working
    Are this a bug or some keyboard shortcut? If this a some shortcut, how I can change it?  (in Edit - Keyboard shortcuts I can't find it)

    OS: Win 7 64 bit Ultimate
    It's occur every time when I do this in Dreamweaver, independently of other programs running.

  • Left side shift/command/option keys not working

    I have a 2010 11" macbook air and out of nowhere my left side Shift Command Option keys are not working at all. Anyone had this issue? or know what I can do to solve it?
    I have tried connecting my keyboard to it and doing the reset PRAM, SMC, PMU with no luck. I tried installing new Mountain Lion OSX hoping it was a software issue and it is still not working.

    I had a key fail on my MBA and the problem progressed to other keys.  It turned out to be the electoonics in the keyboard, not the individual keys.  When it progressed to W, I had to replace it;)  Given you have two keys failing at once it could be a similar problem.
