Motion Short Cuts

I am new to Motion and getting a pretty good handle on it, but I could work more efficiently if I knew some short-cuts.
For example when I have a clip selected can I toggle back and forth from it's in and out points. In FCP I use Shift-I or O to do this, there must be a way in Motion?
Can you hit a magic "all keyframe" button? Sometimes I want to set a keyframe in multiple places and I have jumping from clip to clip, tab to tab to locate where I need to select a keyframe.
Last After you select record why doesn't Motion set a keyframe at the timeline marker? After I select record I still have to select all my keyframes I want to start with and move the timeline marker to my destination then make my move. If I don't set keyframes first the entire clip moves and doesn't stay put from my in point.
I hope I can get some help and everybody understands what I am talking about. These are a few issues that annoy me about Motion. If I could work this out I would be so happy!

Shift-I will jump the playhead to the In point of the selected layer, effect, or group; Shift-O to the Out point. Shift-[ will move the In point to the playhead; Shift-] will move the Out point. These are all listed in the menus. I and O will trim In and Out points. Etc, Etc.

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

  • Keyboard short cut not working in iOS 6 on iPhone

    I just tried adding a new keyboard short cut on my iPhone 4S with iOS 6 and the short cut will not stay on the phone.  I can enter it and it is added to the list of short cuts until I go back one screen, then the shor cut disappears.  This worked fine under iOS 5 and still works fine on my iOS5 iPod Touch.  Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks
    Fred

    I have an iPhone 4 with current iOS.
    I've noticed this over the past few months. I always notice it on the FB app. My short cuts stop working. I will check email or note. I figured restarting the phone would fix it.
    Here's the thing. Obviously I use FB a lot, but this short cut issues never happens in text messages, Whatsapp, or email. Always with FB.
    In fact I noticed that I get sluggish typing performance typing using the FB app whether I use the keyboard short cuts or not.
    Just wondering if this common among iPhone 4 users.

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

  • Can't use down key because it opens automator. Does any one know how to disable this short cut?

    Everytime I press down on down key it opens automator. It doesn't let me delete the app. I don't know what to do, it is very frustating to fill in a chart when I can't use the down key. Does any one know how to disable this short cut?

    Are you talking about the Down Arrow key? To my knowledge there is no way to use that key as a shortcut for anything. But look in the Keyboard section of System Preferences and the Keyboard shortcut tab.

  • G550 - short cuts no longer working

    Forgive if I'm posting this in the wrong location. Please advise if I should post this elsewhere.
    I have a G550 and it's been great. But today all my shortcuts to my applications stopped working.
    2 issues/examples:
    1) If I try to launch a web browser from my taskbar shortcut, I get asked which program I'd like to use to open it. I can select the appropriate one but I can't "save" that choice. I can launch the web browser, but then it asks if i want to save the firefox.exe file. I click cancel and the browser works but I have to go through that process each time. Same thing happens with IE, and Chrome. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same result.
    Same issue with other taskbar short cuts.
    2) I go to start, programs, MS office, MS Word. I get an error message that the application is missing. But I can open a previously saved Word (and other MS Office applications) file with no issue. So the application is there. Just can't navigate to it the "traditional" way.
    Any idea what's going on? My anti virus (AVG premium) is up to date and working fine. Don't suspect a virus but not sure. Extensive scans find no issues.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    forgot about that. That did the trick.

  • Creating a Windows 7 OS desktop short cut for gmail with Firefox as browser, not internet explorer

    I have an HP laptop that originally had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit OS. I want to generate a desktop shortcut for gmail that uses Firefox as the browser not internet explorer (8). If I use IE 8 as the brower and enter in gmail.com, gmail opens. I can right click on that page and create a gmail desktop short cut with IE 8 as the browser. If I try the same steps using Firefox as the opened browser, I can't create a desktop short cut by right clicking...it is not an option. I can't make Firefox my default browser for everything as my work programs/shortcuts require IE. Again, how do I create a direct gmail desktop shortcut that uses Firefox as the browser, not IE 8, when IE 8 has to be the default browser?

    You could create a shortcut to open Firefox with a specific site using a command line argument.
    You can copy the shortcut that you use to open Firefox, then right-click on it and choose '''Properties'''. On the shortcut tab, you will see the target, it will look something like this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    You can add gmail.com to this shortcut so it looks like this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" gmail.com
    For more details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments
