New Mac Keyboard Shortcuts

Hi,
I've just bought one of the new 'Leopard' style aluminium Mac keyboards for my G5, however my favourite function, hide all windows (F11) doesn't work.
Where has it gone? Is it now a preference setup item?

It's also probably set to use the keys as the "special keys" for whatever picture's on them rather than as normal function keys. There's a setting in the Keyboard system preference to flip this behavior so they act as normal function keys unless you press the Fn key.

Mac Keyboard Shortcuts

Edge Code seems pretty useless if it doesn't support standard Mac keyboard shortcuts and conventions. For instance, Command-e is supposed to load the selected text into the system-wide "find", so that any subsequent Command-g will "Find Again" that text in any Cocoa-based app that supports searchable text (such as Mail, BBEdit, Safari, iBooks (somewhat), Notes, etc. In Edge Code Preview, command-e does something else entirely.
Plus, drag and drop of text is not even supported. Come on, seriously?!?
Basically, this is like using a software program from before OS7, in the late 90s.

Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't aware of that functionality. Sounds interesting.
> if you don't even support the standard Command-E
It's supported. It's just a different keyboard shortcut key: Cmd-Shift-B
No, Cmd-Shift-B just seems to be "Find Again whatever is currently selected". It doesn't change what I am finding in other apps, and "Command-G" doesn't find-again what I selected and did Command-E on in other apps. That is slightly similar, within its own silo, but is far from supporting "the standard Command-E".
> regular expression "grep" searches, searching with or without case sensitivity
Both supported in Brackets.
OK, I didn't recognize that in the UI until now, and it's weird to have to use a different command to get to "Replace", but I'll give you this one.
> changing the case of the selection, viewing invisible character
Supported as Extensions
> finding and changing differences in 2 side-by-side files one line at a time
Brackets does not yet have "diff" support, but that's better handled as an extension, anyway.
I disagree, but I guess being able to cobble together fuller functionality from a bunch of independently written extension modules is better than nothing. Are you going to build in a way to browse the catalog of extensions?
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, there's a lot more we want to implement in Brackets. Stay tuned.
OK

What happened to F9 and F11 on the new Mac Keyboards?

As much as I love the new Mac keyboard I cant for the life of me figure/find out what became of the F11 function (That clears your screen entirely.
Yes F9 is now F3 but what happened to F11?

Is there a list of mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0?

Is there anywhere online where I can find a list of Mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0? I would have thought it would be easy to find, but I've searched and haven't seen anything. In particular, I'm looking for shortcuts to let me vertical zoom and a shortcut that moves the playhead back to the beginning in multitrack view.

With Audition 3.0 for Windows, vertical zoom in edit view can be done by right-click-drag on the vertical exist to select a region. Incremental vertical zoom can be done by moving the mouse cursor over the vertical access, then using the track wheel to zoom in or out. In multitrack view, if you use the track wheel in the main window, it widens all the tracks proportionately.
To move to the beginning or end (in both edit and multitrack views), use the Home and End keys. In edit view, Ctrl-left arrow and Ctrl-right arrow also do this. In multitrack view, the Ctrl-arrow keys move to the beginning and end of the audio clips, whereas the End key goes to the end of the overall piece (which may include silence after the last clip).
Most keyboard shortcuts can be assigned, cleared, or re-assigned. In Windows this is done via the Edit menu item (for which the shortcut is Alt-k).

Converting Mac keyboard shortcuts to Windows/PC based shortcuts.

Hello,
Let me say, I have been using Mac based platforms since close to 1991 on and off. I used System 7 (and OS 8/9, but close enough to System 7) for many years up until I started to use Windows starting on the later 9x and XP platforms. As I start to drift away from Windows to more likely use Macs, however I would like to have a consistent keyboard shortcut system similar to Windows or Linux/UNIX (for that matter).
I actually get confused very easily switching from Macs and Windows with keyboard commands often when I use Windows comp and when I am using the Mac. (Just switching from different kinds of keyboards confuse me from the razor thin keys to a regular keyboard, because going from another one confuses me because of different pressures to press the on.)
I also believe this may have to do with a "workflow" process/scripting, if I am not mistaken. Is there a script I can download, that has close to the standard Windows/PC commands that I can import into the Mac, and can these scripts be edited to adapt my own commands as well? Is there a way to use most of the function keys (F1-12) for the standard commands for the different purposes? I also would like the Option (alt)-Tab to cycle the different apps and Option-Esc to cycle all windows opened. I would like to try to reduce all Option/Command/Control/Shift commands to just a couple of keystrokes or an F key. These modifier keys I think are becoming old, especially since it doesn't meet Apple's simplicity, giving there is up to three keystrokes to press at a given time for some commands.
I had tried the way on the System Preferences, but it doesn't go globally through all applications - real problem lies on the Apple apps on some. I strongly believe this is possible to do, since it might be able to work via a scripting system. I hope this could work. Apple has come a long way to open up the system's architecture without really messing things up, or just opening up the OS without hex apps is great. I hope they can just keep this up so the users can decide how they want their mac to work, because they know what's right for their purposes.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

You may like youpi key. It is free. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported. There is a commercial version you can buy, called iKey.

Here is my script for listing my application folder. I have it assigned to function-key 6.
tell application "Finder"
activate
select window of desktop
make new Finder window to startup disk
select Finder window 1
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "Applications" of startup disk
select Finder window 1
set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
end tell
This script was automatically generated in script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some minor editing, I copy the script to youpi key.
I have all of my frequently used applications set to function keys. I am thinking of changing the switching to Scripts because there seems to be a side effect to some of the switching like the speaking.

New Apple keyboard shortcuts not working with Mavericks

Had to buy a new keyboard for my 2010 iMac, which is running Mavericks. However, the F keys on the new keyboard have a slightly different layout than my original. Most notably, the F4 key now opens up Launchpad, whereas it used to show the Dashboard.
The keyboard settings in Preferences is useless because it doesn't match up to the key layout on either keyboard (never has), and re-assigning keys doesn't work. For example, in Preferences, it has brightness controls as F11 and 12, but they've been F1 and F2 on every iMac keyboard I've ever had. (F10-12 is volume control.) Even if I try to re-assign these keys, pressing the key I want does not change the highlighted setting.
So... how do I re-assign F4 to show the Dashboard (which is useful for my many widgets) as opposed to Launchpad (which I never use)?
Thanks!

Just make F5 as your Dashboard...
System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Shortcuts---> Mission Control---> (check mark Show Dashboard)---> Double click the current state (could be F12). When highlighted, hit the actual key "F5".
From then on, you should be able to hit "F5" and it'll show the Dashboard for you.
I believe there are at least two Apple Wireless keyboard out there. The one that I am on right now shows 6 squares on the F4 key. The other has the dial face on the F4 key. This one also has brightness control for the backlighting on the keyboard, or rather the built-in keyboard of a Mac Book (Air and Pro). Which are on the F5 and F6 keys. Why Apple did that, I have no idea.
You could also use a Hot Corner to open the Dashboard. For instance use the upper left for it.
System Preferences---> Mission Control---> Hot Corners (lower left of the window)---> Select the upper left and scroll to Dashboard.
I personally like to have the Dashboard "fly" over my current screen/desktop. So I unchecked "Show Dashboard a Space."

Saving plain text on a mac (Keyboard shortcuts file)

Hi there perhaps some mac users can help me...
I am manually editing the keyboard shortcuts file in TEXT edit on a mac (Im a pc user). I open the file as plain text all the rich text stuff turned off.
(Looked up how to do this.)
I edit one of the shortcuts, no unusual characters etc.
When I restart CC, it gives an error and shows squiggley characters at that line as the problem.
On a pc I just edit and save as plain text and there are no issues...
What am I doing wrong on a mac in Text edit ?
Thanks Alan.

The issue you are encountering might be related to how TextEdit handles line endings? Not sure, but have you tried using the KeyedUp script to edit shortcuts? I used it for CC and it seems to be working fine.

How to set mac KEYBOARD shortcuts (for mac OS and windows OS)

i am having a bit of an issue.
i run windows 7 and mac os on the same computer on different hard drives in this computer. i also have a "mac" keyboard. i am not sure how this may be different from a "windows keyboard" but the point is i need to use this keyboard because it matches the one on my laptop which is a mac.
when i switch to windows on this machine i always end up deleting information because the CMD + X and CMD + V cut and paste shortcuts on Mac OS are not the same in windows. windows requires (currently) CTRL + X and CTRL + V. so when i got to cut and paste in windows CTRL + X (this is my habitual way of working) and then i run a CTRL + V i end up writing /over/ the text i selected with a "x" and i end up pasting /over/ the text i selected to paste over with a "v". this is because instead of running a cut and paste, this set of shortcuts in windows simply enters "x" and "y" respectively since the shortcut is not active.
does anyone know where i set these in windows OS and in mac OS?
also, does anyone know if it is possible to set how many UNDOS i can do in either of these OS's or to know how many i can in fact undo?
THANKS
long story background:
1. while i may move to a windows keyboard on the computer i am using (because the mac keyboards these days end up losing keys and they end up very wobbly) i cannot do this for the laptop machine so this may not make a lot of sense if i end up also running windows on the laptop which is my intention at some point.
2. CTRL + X is a very long stretch on the mac keyboard so rather than switching mac shortcuts to accommodate windows shortcuts i am thinking to switch windows shortcuts to mac ATM.
3. this is no small issue! i just went to copy and paste this text so i could save it for myself in order to explain to someone else and i ended up overwriting with a "c". if i had not thought fast and remembered to UNDO by hitting CTRL - X and not CMD - X i might have lost all my work.

You don't necessarily need netcfg to get networking. But I used it before for my wireless on my laptop, so I just used the same on my desktop too. Also if you want to do things like this its easier rather than have to go digging around with macspoof and what not. your netcfg eth0 file could be something like
PRE_UP='ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='dhcp'
If you use a different interface then obviously, you need to change it accordingly

I'm wanting to temporarily turn off all my mac keyboard shortcuts

So I have an Wacom Intuos tablet and am trying to set one of the express keys to: command,shift,option,esc which automatically force quits the application you are in. However when I attempt to set this up in the tablet it automatically force quits the Intuos and I never get the keys to become an express key. So I'm thinking if I could temporarily turn of the keyboard shortcuts from taking effect on my mac I could then put the shortcut into my Intuos and then come back and turn keyboard shortcuts back on. Make sense? I'm not wanting to just put in the command Q option which asks if I'm sure, etc.
Thanks for any advice.

System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts - to turn them all of, you will need to deselect them in all sources on the left hand side.

Creating a new application keyboard shortcut

I have been trying for years to get an application to work with a keyboard shortcut. I have tried in the prefs, but nothing works. Is there a way to use a F1 or another similar key to launch an application?

Quicksilver is definitely fun.

New problem keyboard shortcuts for mission control in Mavericks

I have a MacBook Pro Retina and make heavy use of multiple desktops in Mission Control and use control keys (^1, ^2, etc.) to switch desktops.
Sometimes I use the built-in laptop keyboard and sometimes I have an external keyboard attached, which has a numeric keypad.
Previously, pressing "control" and the "1" on the numeric keypad worked the same as presing "control" and the "1" in the row of number keys across the top of the keyboard. Now, in Mavericks, it seems like the system does not treat these as the same keystrokes. I cannot find a way to configure the keyboard shortcuts so that I can use the numeric keypad to switch Mission Control desktops when the keyboard is attached and still be able to use the regular number keys when I'm working on the laptop's built-in keyboard.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
John

I figured it out. ^1 typed from the number keys is not equivalent to ^1 typed from the numeric keypad. So, when you go into system prefs / keyboard / shortcuts / mission control, it may LOOK the same, but it is not. You simply have to select each of your spaces and change them to ^1, ^2, ^3, etc., using the NUMERIC keypad. It will look the same to you, but it will work properly after that.

Coffee in BRAND NEW mac keyboard

Hi all..
I nearly touched my coffee glass, but it happend..
Is there anything i can do within the first couple of mounth?
I need a new keyboard, the other one is totaly destroyed, when i type a it makes q and stuff like that..
Im crying, cus its my boyfriends brand new imac 27" inch..1 week old ;(
please help me

Something you can try. It often works with USB keyboards.
There are two issues - the presence of liquid, which shorts out circuits; and the presence of acid in the liquid, which can etch copper inside the keyboard. There can also be sticky residues from sweetened drinks, which can make keys stick or work only sometimes.
If you wish to try this -
First, assuming it is a wireless keyboard, turn it off and remove the batteries. Then fill a sink or small plastic tub of adequate size with warm (not hot) distilled water - like the kind you can get at supermarkets for steam irons. Do not add any soad or detergent. Immerse the keyboard in the water, slosh it around a bit. Then remove it, drain the water, refill with more warm diistilled water, and repeat as a rinse.
Then hang the keyboard up by one corner and let it thoroughly dry - this may take a few days. You can use a fan to help aid the drying, but do not use heat, such as a blow dryer or even direct sunlight for long periods.
You may need to use a Q-tip or paper towel to get the battery compartment thoroughly dry.
Plain water will not harm the insides of the keyboard, provided no power is running through the keyboard. Using distilled water helps prevent any trace materila being left behind, such as lime from hard water.

Is my new external NEW Mac Keyboard BROKEN?

It seems when I use the external keyboard in MAC MAIL that the letters sometimes don't type or jump to the bottom.
If I am using something else like right now or a word/pages document everything seems to be fine, what could it be in mac mail that is causing this?
Thanks

You should return it for a full refund until Apple fixes this issue. It could be a week or a month before apple has a fix.

New Mac Keyboard - Remap Function Keys???

Hi there,
I'd like to map the volume up, down and mute controls to F13, F14 & F15.
How can I do this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Wayne
PS - I'm running Leopard on a MBP

Hello wg:
I have the new wireless aluminum KBs, so I do not have those function keys. However, I believe that those functions are not re-mappable.
