Message Send Keyboard Shortcut

Sometimes the Message->Send keyboard shortcut works and other times it doesn't. I can't really pinpoint why or under what circumstances this occurs. Does anyone else experience this?
Cheers

That thread did not help. There does not seem to be another app hijacking my shortcut. I did change the default shortcut from cmd-S to cmd-return. I did make it specific to Mail.app
When I Quit and reopen Mail, it seems to work. When is does eventually stops working and I press the shortcut, I get the dung sound. This is the same sound as if you were to hit a shortcut thats invalid.
This is getting rather annoying. I actually forgot I posted this because I was planning on posting the same question today :o)

  • I've used a terminal command to change default send keyboard shortcut and now it doesn't work at all!

    My friend provided me with a Terminal command allow me to use Cmd+Enter to send an email (muscle memory from Outlook, hard to forget!)
    Command was:
    defaults write com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Send" "@\\U21a9"
    Did that, and it didn't add the Cmd+Enter instruction but removed the Cmd+Shift+D instruction, so I had NO keyboard shortcut. Then Cmd+Enter started working. For a while. Now I'm back to getting the irritating error bleep sound, and having no functional keyboard shortcut for sending mail.
    Does anybody have any advice?

    Try
    defaults delete com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents
    Then, relaunch Mail.

  • Messages. Keyboard shortcuts not synchronised.

    Since upgrading my Mac Pro to Yosemite 10.10 I don't have any keyboard shortcuts in Messages.  I have tried removing and adding my iCloud account, rebooting.  The shortcuts have re-appeared on Yosemite on my MacBook Messages, just not on the Mac Pro.  Was all okay on Mavericks.  I thought it might take a while...but it's been three days now...
    I'm not talking about keyboard shortcuts to menu items, but shortcuts to phrases as in iOS, eg. 'omw' shortcut to 'On my way!' which is one of the default ones - even that doesn't work!
    There doesn't seem to be a plist file for Messages?

    I have this same issue in combination with some random text area that is selected (not visually!!). So every tool I want to access via the keyboard adds a letter to a random text area. (again not visually)
    This is only visible after I select the text field or export it to an image. If I deselect the textarea it returns to its normal content. If I select the text field again its again.. the wrong text.
    IE:  I have a label "home" if I select it it transforms to "hobevmme" if i deselect it it transforms back to "home"
    How do i trigger this bug?:
    So lets say I'm editing a textarea I press cmd+return to release the textarea then i want to brush something on a new layer so I press b that doesn't work so i press it again a couple of times (out of frustration). then i realize omg it's that bug again: then i have to select/check every text area to check if the labels have changed.
    Please fix this bug.

  • Sending Keyboard Shortcuts to another computer

    I've just updated a bunch of customized keyboard shortcuts on my MBP and I want to simply copy these to my iMac without having to rekey them all. I am hoping that someone could just point me towards a file that gets updated on the mac system somewhere when new keyboard shortcuts are added. I assumed it would be in the user / library but I haven't found anything that looks promising.
    Also - I have a mobileMe account which has the preferences setting to be 'synced' however, I ran the sync manually on bother computers and the shortcuts are not on the iMac so that doesn't seem to work either. I recall that mobileMe only syncs settings that don't change very often - there doesn't seem to be a discreet way to control what does and does not get sync'd when it comes to settings.
    Can anyone help me with that? Thanks in advance.

    Ok, I figured it out ... and here's what I did:
    When I originally copied over the PLIST file to my iMac I didn't have a single shortcut for PathFinder ... so that's why nothing showed up. So I removed the entire list for PathFinder, then added back a single shortcut "Command + R" for refresh ... then I closed PathFinder and re-copied that plist again. With the entry for PathFinder now in the keyboard preferences, this time ... the rest of my shortcuts showed up.
    So if you DO NOT have an entry for the application you're copying preferences for - the new shortcuts being copied won't show up. Best to make a single entry first, then overwrite your preferences for that app ... then ... everything works!
    Thanks for your help V.K.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts for Mail Message

    I switched to Mail from MozillaThunderbird. In Thunderbird, one can move through OPEN mail messages via Keyboard Shortcut; a simple "F" for next message or "B" for previous message. In Mail, the only thing I've figured out is that one can arrow through one's LIST of messages, then use "Return" to open only the selected e-mail. From there, I must return to the list again (Cmmd+W)to open the next or previous message. This seems cumbersome an un-Maclike. Is there any way, from an already open message, to move to the next or previous message via Keyboard Shortcut? thanks

    No. Mail lacks this functionality. The closer you can get is to have the preview pane visible below the message list and move from one message to another using the arrow keys.

  • Keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Photoshop

    Keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Photoshop are not working. Shortcuts set up within Photoshop will not work at all. If I try to add application shortcuts through the keyboard and mouse system preferences I get an error message saying keyboard shortcuts cannot be added to Photoshop. I thought I just had a conflict with a system keyboard shortcut, but even when I turn them all off, I get the same results. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated...

    The suggestion to look on the Adobe site lead to the solution. This is the best answer from Adobe:
    Solution 1: Bypass the keys' default OS-level commands.
    Note: Use this solution only if your keyboard has a key labeled Fn.
    To make Mac OS interpret F1, F2, and so forth as function keys instead of as OS-level command keys, hold down the Fn key when you press a function key. For example, in an Adobe application that uses F1 as a keyboard shortcut, hold down Fn and press F1.
    You can also make Mac OS interpret F1, F2, and so forth as function keys by default. (If you do so, then you can still perform those keys' OS-level commands by holding the Fn key when you press them.) If you want to make this change, then do the following:
    1. Choose Apple Menu > System Preferences.
    2. Click Keyboard & Mouse.
    3. Click the Keyboard tab.
    4. Select the option Use All F1, F2, Etc. Keys As Standard Function Keys.
    5. Quit System Preferences.

  • Keyboard shortcut for sending messages on Mail suddenly stops working

    I've created a keyboard shortcut (Command + Return) specifically for sending manssages on Mail. When I open Mail, this keyboard shortcut works perfectly but suddenly it stops working.
    If I close and reopen Mail, the keyboard shortcut starts to work again, but for a while.
    I'm using OS X 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).

    Give this a try if you haven't already.
    System Preferences
    Keyboard
    Shortcuts
    At the bottom of the left panel go to:
    App Shortcuts
    If Mail.app isn't there, add it.
    Under it add Send.
    Now choose your key combo i.e.
    ⌘↵

  • What is the Keyboard Shortcut for Next/Previous Message in Lion Mail?

    Using the 'full screen' message viewer (rather than the preview pane) how do I progress to an older/newer message in a folder without closing the window?

    So Entourage can go to the previous message?  How do you do that?
    I can't stand that Mail always goes to the next newest message after deleting.
    Every other email program I've ever seen (including Entourage - see below) can do this.  Why can't Apple?  I don't want to touch the mouse most of the time because it really slows down work to move ones hands back and forth.   I did a quick web search and found these shortcuts for all the major programs.  If you know of any other program besides Apple Mail that doesn't have this, let me know.
    Until then, if Outlook, Outlook Express, Entourage, Sparrow, Postbox, and Thunderbird have had this, what's Apple's problem adding it?

  • Keyboard shortcut for opening mail messages

    i'd like to be able to open email messages using a keyboard shortcut. i suspect i'm being thick, but I can't seem to find a way to do that. (i tried the keyboard shortcut function in system preferences, but because there is no "open" menu command, I couldn't create a shortcut.) Much obliged for any help.

    I too would be interested in a keyboard shortcut to open new email messages. Do any of you Mail pros have an idea to help us out with this?
    Thanks!

  • Create keyboard shortcut to flag messages colors other than read

    I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to flag messages in Apple Mail a color other than red. (I've created smart folders associated with different color flags; I want to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to quickly flag an item so that it moves to the right smart folder.)
    I've gone to system preferences/keyboard/keyboard shortcuts/application shorts and created new shortcuts for Apple Mail. )Control-option-command-o is one.) The 'All Controls' tab is clicked at the bottom. However, the commands don't work.
    The instructions above suggest that it should be adding a new command to the menu. I don't see anything new though. Should there be something somwhere?
    Thank you in advance for your help with this question. Any suggestions you have would be great appreciated.

    Hello,
    When adding a keyboard shortcut for Mail :
    Type in "Menu Title" the menu item exactly as it appears in the application menu, for example "Orange";
    In the "Keyboard Shortcut" press the key combination you want to associate.
    You'll perhaps have to restart application for the new shortcut to have effect.
    Regards.

  • "Send application to different monitor" keyboard shortcut?

    Hi, I have Macbook that's connected to an external monitor which means there's a lot of dragging of app windows between the LCD monitor and the external.
    Is there a quick way/keyboard shortcut to send an application window or the application itself to the external monitor? I know there's an "application assignment" feature for spaces but that's not for the external monitor.
    Please help!

    no, there isn't. you have to drag it by hand.

  • Apple Mail Close Message Keyboard Shortcut

    I am used to pressing "Esc" to close out of a mail message in Outlook and Thunderbird.
    Is there a keyboard shortcut to closing a message in Mail? Is there a way to assign the the Esc key to do it?

    If you want to close a message that you've read, just use Command-W, which is in the File menu. But if you see a dialogue box (which is what I thought you were referring to), you can't close those in that way and you can't create a shortcut for those, either.

  • Email (name) keyboard shortcut does not send on my Q10

    I'm not sure if anyone has this issue. I use shortcut Email (name) and the Q10 pulls up a Compose screen where I can write a new email, can add Send To, etc., but when I click SEND, it does not send. I notice the Account field is missing my email account. and the SEND button is grey-ed out. but my email account is already set up in the Hub.
    Is there something I forgot to set?

  • Mail keyboard shortcuts scroll down message list

    Anyone know any good keyboard shortcuts for navigating the message list in Mac Mail?

    Use a TAB button to jump between different sections in Mail app. When messages list is highlighted, use UP and DOWN ARROWS to go up and down. If you want to go quickly to the bottom of your list, use FN+RIGHT ARROW, if you want to go quickly to the top of the list use FN+LEFT ARROW.

  • Sending email - Keyboard shortcut...

    Still configuring mail. Any help would be appreciated.
    When sending email, is there a keyboard shortcut I can use? I've looked and it instructs to press the up arrow, command and the letter "D". Cant get this to work. Can anybody help?
    Sly

    Command-J sends email. Also if you didn't have this link already, there are plenty of useful shortcuts here.
    And finally if you don't see a shortcut you can create your own. Here are instructions.
