Mac upgrade to Yosemite, Adobe Indesign CS5 keyboard shortcuts not working - t for text - z for zoom - v for pointer etc

So I upgraded my MACBOOK PRO (Retina, Mid 2012) 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
to MAC OS X YOSEMITE
Adobe Indesign CS5 generally works with some very annoying bugs.
All major keyboard shortcuts that use a single key command have stopped working. and these happen to be the main ones I use all the time for editing...
t for text
z for zoom
v for pointer
It's annoying because now I have to keep going back to the tool bar to change my cursor selection. It's just slowing me down.
Annoying but workable.
Has anyone else go this issue?
An update or fix would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING!!!
I was contacted by apparently a third party supplier called Adobe Systems via this forum
They logged in to my computer via team viewer
installed utorrent
and proceed to download a cracked version of adobe cs6
in the mean time saying on skype that Adobe no longer has Adobe CS6 on their server.
This seemed very OFF to me and I disconnected the skype (and blocked Adobe Systems) and disconnected TeamViewer
If I wanted a cracked version of Adobe CS6 I'm very capable of doing this kind of thing my self
However I run a business I want to have a legitimate licensed copy of the software running for my staff.
They were offering a fully licensed version of a Adobe Master Suite CS6 with my own unique ID for USD$400
Again very OFF considering the upgrade from Adobe from Indesign CS5 to CS6 is almost AUD$1600
I don't know how they got my email address from this forum but it seems that the adobe forum has been hacked!
you have been warned!

InDesign CS4 Keyboard Shortcuts not working

I ran the 6.0.1 updater and now my Keyboard shortcuts don't work. The only one that does is Command Q and the spacebar.
When I got to Edit> Keyboard Shortcuts, none of the buttons do anything (New or Show Set)
Any ideas?

Restore your InDesign preferences. Quit InDesign. Launch InDesign and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl+Cmd+Opt+Shift. When prompted, choose to restore preferences.

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
so it is completely unresponsive.
I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
Thanks

InDesign CC keyboard commands not working

I just discvered some crucial keyboard shortcuts not working today at my workstation:
1) Option + click and drag to create a copy (Plus, holding shift key at the same time to keep alignment in place.)
2) Command + Shift to resize a box and its contents.
Neither work. What is the cause of this and is there a solution to these issues?

PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working

PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working -- Running 10.6.7 on a Mac Pro. Any suggestions?
I've tried restarting, changing key combinations, etc. Nothing works and I'm wasting time using my mouse...
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had this problem too but using Windows 7. I tried resetting, renaming the shortcuts, swearing loudly, none of it worked. I found out it was a totally unrelated program, Xfinity Protection Suite, that was the culprit. My virus protection program added it as an 'upgrade.' AFter I uninstalled it everything was back to normal. Have you installed anything new onto your computer lately that could be interfering?

InDesign CC 2014 Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working

Hello, I just installed and updated to InDesign CC 2014 on my Mac (OS X) and a lot of keyboard shortcuts are now missing. To move your view on the page, one would usually hold the space bar down and drag the hand tool. This no longer works. Also, usually to copy/drag an object, one would hold the option key and drag. This no longer works. Also usually to keep an object inline, one would hold the shift key and drag the object. This no longer works. I need assistance on getting this working again ASAP. Thank you.

Quit Chrome. Quit Safari. Quit Firefox. Quit any form of web access > Restart InDesign > Open Adobe InDesign first (shortcuts should have returned) > Then open web browser of preference.
..still not working?
Restart MAC / PC > Reopen Adobe InDesign first (short cuts should have returned) > Then open web browser of preference.

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.

'Undo' Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

My usual keyboard shortcut for Edit > Undo (command + shift + z) does not work anymore.
This happens across all applications, from Apple default apps to Adobe CC suite.
I can't even edit it through each applications preferences or via System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
Has anybody else encounter this issue? I've no idea what's causing this.
Thanks
Mariano

Hi Tom
FYC:
This seems to be a Leopard problem with foreign (not US English) languages and keykoards.
Accidentially I found a workaround, consider the Mac to be rebooted:
- Open International.
- Drag English to be first language.
- Drag <your language> back to first position.
- Close International.
- Open FCE 3.5 or FCE 4 and all keyboard shortcuts will work fine.
- This will be permanent until next reboot.
No such problems under Tiger!
I already addressed this 100x to Apple Feedback since I installed Leopard in Nov 2007. But unfortunately they do not hear me.
CU,
Roland

"Redo" keyboard shortcut not working?

Since the most recent update in Premiere Pro CC my "Redo" keyboard shortcut (ctrl-shift-Z on PC) no longer works.
I've check the keyboard shortcuts and it's still mapped there correctly, it simply doesn't work, and this is massively slowing down my workflow as I toggle 'Undo' - 'Redo' frequently when color grading.
Can anyone recommend a way to fix this? Is there some cache I need to clean or settings I need to change?

Finder keyboard shortcuts not working (cmd-c, cmd-v, cmd-a)

All of a sudden, the edit menu cmd functions are not working, such as cmd-v, cmd-c, cmd-a.
Cmd-p still works.
Using a bluetooth keyboard, all the commands work.
But the built-in keyboard will not work for these functions, even under a newly created user account.
Thoughts?

Have you tried searching for Cut in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog? Perhaps is somehow got assigned to a new command.
you may also want to try deleting your preferences. Hold down Option+Shift when launching Premiere.

Mixer brush keyboard shortcuts not working

According to Adobe, I should be able to change the Wet value by holding down Alt+Shift and using the numeric keyboard, and should be able to change the Flow value by holding down Shift and using the numeric keyboard. Neither of these keyboard shortcuts are working. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Adobe means the number keys at the top of the the keyboard, just below
the f keys.

Indent code keyboard shortcut not working?

Working on a new website, I started working on my old laptop (white macbook) with Dreamweaver 5.0 installed. When it got too complex for the small screen I took the project to my work computer (Mac Pro) and continued working in Dreamweaver CC. On both computers the shortcut for 'indent code' work as advertised in the help files.
Tonight I took the project back home and continued working on my newer laptop (MacBookPro 17"). On this laptop I still had CS6 installed so I continued working in CS6. But for some reason the keyboard shortcuts for 'indent code' did not work. In the edit-menu there is no shortcut behind these commands. I found this very annoying, so I installed CC on this laptop too. After installing I took the prefs from the cloud and expected the keyboard shortcuts to work, but bo such luck...
I then quit Dreamweaver, replaced the Keyboard Shortcut.js file with the one from my Mac Pro. Still no go.
My work computer is running OSX 10.8, both my laptops are running OSX 10.9. So if the shortcuts a are somehow reseved by the system I guess they should not work on my old laptop either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
A

Tried that, there are no shortcuts associated with these commands. I tried adding the shortcuts but that did not work either. I select the command, click the + sign and press the desired key combination (Shift+Command+>). The window disappears. Most likely because the ">" is also the "." and "command-." is the shortcut for "cancel"...
I did some further digging and found the shortcuts are stored in the Menus.xml file, burried deep in the Application Support/Abobe etc. folder. But this file is only there after you make a duplicate of the original keyboard settings. I opened this file (in Dreamwaver ) and found the shortcuts for indent/outdent code are there but for some reason it's ignored by Dreamweaver. I removed Dreamweaver from the computer and re-installed, no luck.
So I made a new set, opened the new xml file and first removed the shortcuts, saved the file, added the shortcuts and saved again. Now they work.
But I'd still like to know why it did not in the first place...

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:
