No keyboard shortcuts in 2nd language keyboard after 10.5.6 update

I decided to take the plunge from 10.5.2 to 10.5.6. My only grievance for 10.5.2 was that Mail changed the extension of attached files if the filename contained non-latin characters (a known bug which was killed in 10.5.6). I took all necessary pre-update steps, namely:
SuperDuper! backup (SmartUpdate)
TimeMachine backup
Repaired permissions
Reboot from external USB drive; Repaired main system (internal) hard disk
Reboot off main drive in Safe Boot mode and install of OS X update, then finally,
Repaired permissions.
Now my Mac doesn't accept keyboard shortcuts of any kind in any application if the input language is Greek (it used to until this morning, in all incarnations of OS X from 10.2 to 10.5.2). Tried in two user accounts. I also created a new user account, same trouble.
If I add another language in the Input menu, e.g. Arabic, then the keyboard shortcuts work for that; still not for the Greek that used to work until now.
Gotta run, but I'll post back later with some further info on this issue (I really must dash out, and I haven't got time to elaborate right now...)
BTW, the Greek I'm using is not the one from the Apple install, but the one from here.

You probably need to ask vodkatini. I think that's a hack for using non-Unicode Greek with old apps. Do you really still need it? Apple won't make any effort to adjust OS X to accomodate such things.
Do the standard Apple Greek keyboards work OK?
You could also ask on Greek Mac boards where people might be using the vodkatini stuff. Or go back to your last OS where it worked.

  • What are the zoom keyboard shortcuts for the Italian Pro keyboard? How can I find any keyboard shortcuts for other language keyboards?

    It's all in the title.

    Perhaps you should post in the software forum for your OS -- it really has nothing to do with your hardware.

    You could try setting up a new user account and see if the problem persists when you are logged into that.

  • Keyboard shortcut command-w stopped working after upgrading to OSX 10.9.4

    Dear all,
    after upgrading to OSX 10.9.4 the keyboard shortcut command-w stops working after about 30 min of having the machine powered on. Interestingly, this phenomenon is not restricted to a certain app (Safari, etc.).
    In system preferences > keyboard all settings have been set to "default".
    Anybody else having the same issue?
    Many thanks,
    wolfgang

    Hi folks,
    just as quick documentation for possibly other error sources for the problem "shortcut command-w not working":
    If problem persists close all applications (allL!). Then open one app like Safari, open several tabs and check whether command-w works.
    Reason: it could happen that you've set command-w inadvertently in another app like Snagit. And when setting this the app did not tell you "listen dummy, this is a standard command, do you really want to replace a standard command with a app-specific command. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work when the app is running."
    This is what happened to me. So close all apps and check whether problem persists.
    reg,

  • Keyboard shortcuts don't stay put after power off

    As I use Pro Tools I can't use F11/F12 for dashboard/desktop, so I've used the preferences to set them to F13 and ^F13. This works fine including when I 'sleep' the Mac. However, if I shut the Mac down then the next time it's turned on those shortcuts don't work - they show up in preferences but are not checked, I have to re-check them to enable them. How can I make them stay put?

    friend of mine has similiar issues....but her keyboard shortcuts don't even stay. they are reset to the defaults on a restart. she has to enter them again, not just re-enable them.

  • Keyboard shortcuts on an old keyboard

    I am using an old, old keyboard (came with the iMac G3) with my mid-2011 iMac (yes, it's the only keyboard I have for it). I'm wondering if there's a way to create a keyboard shortcut for volume down and volume up on this keyboard. I was able to do the brightness down and brightness up, but I can't seem to get volume commands added. Any aadvice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I'm running OS X 10.8.4.

    Martin,
    I assume you're using LR in English (I don't think there's Danish)?
    You can achieve what you want by building/modifying the TranslatedStrings.txt file with your modifications in there. For all languages LR is translated into, such a TranslatedStrings.txt file exists (in the "\Resources\xx\" directory below the program installation path), but for English it would have to be created (there is no \en\ directory below\Resources\).
    KeyboardTamer does nothing else than modify the TranslatedStrings.txt file, but it can only do it for shortcuts provided for in the PlugIn. You could create a file "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.3\Resources\en\TranslatedStrings.txt" and describe the different shortcuts in there.
    The problem is to find out what you have to write into there. For this, you could take lines out of a TranslatedStrings.txt file of another language (i.e. German), and put them (possibly changed) into the English file. Note that only changes must be present in TranslatedStrings.txt, the rest comes from the program.
    Example:
    The line describing the shortcut to zoom in in Library is coded as follows in the German TranslatedStrings.txt:
    "$$$/AgLibrary/KBSC/incrementThumbSize=#"
    I changed it to be
    "$$$/AgLibrary/KBSC/incrementThumbSize=$"
    because # is not accessible without a modifier key on the German keyboad, hence the shortcut does not work,
    So the lines to be entered in the file are not that easy to find, but with some creativity (i.e. searching for "=.....", where .... is the shortcut-key that does not work) you should be able to solve most of them. Also, the so created TranslatedStrings.txt should additionally be saved in some other place than the program directory as well, becaus after a new installation it would have to be copied into the resources directory again.

  • Keyboard shortcuts on non-US keyboards

    I have been using Lightroom for some time now, and as with all programs I want to use the keyboard shortcuts.
    These are fairly straightforward in LR, and most of them work like a charm, but some, which use non-alphanumeric keys such as [ ] / \ - = and many more do not work on a non-US keyboard (in this case Danish). Most of these keys have moved around quite significantly on my keyboard, and not only are they mapped differently, but the physical layout of the keyboard (and labeling of course) is also different from the standard US-keyboard.
    My question is: How (or where) do I find the right combinations?
    As an example, zoom.
    Zoom in is Ctrl/Cmd+= (equals sign)
    Zoom out is Ctrl/Cmd+- (minus sign)
    Zooming out works nicely in spite of the minus key being different from the standard US-keyboard (located in the lower row next to the Shift key where the US key is in the top row)
    But I haven't been able to zoom in. The equal sign is in the top row, but as a shifted zero, so also different from the US keyboard. No matter what combos I use, I cannot zoom in using the keyboard.
    Same thing goes for a lot of other shortcuts. Like toggle filters which is backslash on the US-keyboard. I have a backslash, but as an AltGr-key combined with < and >, and when I use it, it does something completely different, namely shifting between two compared images, a function which I can't even find on the list of keyboard shortcuts http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom/keyboard_shortcuts.html
    Does anybody have a clue about:
    - Where I can find keyboard shortcuts for foreign keyboards
    - If I can remap keys to do as expected
    - Do anything else to get shortcuts to work
    And no, changing to a US keyboard does not help. My keys are physically different and labeled differently, and shifting does not work anyway...

  • Keyboard Shortcuts to Zoom (Swiss Keyboard)

    According to the German Lightroom Manual, Ctrl+# is used to zoom in, Ctrl+- is used to zoom out, for example while applying corrections with the Adjustment Brush.
    I am running a German version of Lightroom 2.4 with a Swiss German XP and keyboard. Ctrl+- works to zoom out, but Ctrl-# (# is on a AltGr-Key on the Swiss Keyboard) does not work. Does anybody know the keyboard shortcut to zoom in on a Swiss German Keyboard?
    Thanks

    I was able to solve this issue by re-assigning another key ($) instead of the #-key to ZoomInShortcut etc. in file
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.4\Resources\de\TranslatedStrings.txt.
    I derived this method from this post on Lightroom Forums. Just wanted to let you know in case some other Swiss users are experiencing this problem.

  • Is anyone else having trouble with KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS, mine no longer work after updating to iOS6.

    For exapmle, in my shortcuts I have "idk" to change to "I don't know" whilst typing.

I read in a separate post to uninstall and then reinstall emoji.....I really don't want to delete and reenter all my shortcuts I have at least 10 for every letter. Has anyone tryed the emoji un/reinstall? I'm fine with the documents being off in icloud......for now. I hope this helps someone.

  • Keyboard not recognized in USB hub after 10.6.3 update

    After updating to 10.6.3 (using combo updater) the keys on my Apple extended keyboard that shipped with my 24" iMac (2008) no longer work when the keyboard is connected through my Belkin powered USB hub. But oddly enough, the wireless mouse that is connected to the keyboard does work. So the keyboard is recognized and connected properly, but the keys don't work! It's definitely a software thing.
    I don't have enough free USB ports on the back of my iMac to dedicate to my keyboard. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

    I have the same problem. I found I can unplug the keyboard and when replugged, everything works OK.
    I just upgraded to OS V10.6.4 and still must unplug and replug the keyboard in order to type.
    WHY?

  • Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and trackpad not responding after 10.8.5 update

    I updated to 10.8.5 on my iMac this morning.  The update has killed my trackpad, mouse and (presumably) keyboard as well.
    OS X will boot to the log on screen but the mouse pointer is stuck in the top left of the screen.  Trying keyboard, mouse or trackpad obtains no results.  Switching the bluetooth devices off and on, will obtain a connection lost and connected on the screen but still the pointer will not respond.
    I have tried hard booting to computer twice now and it has not resolved this.  As of right now I am totally unable to use my iMac due to the software update as I have no wired keyboards or mice.
    Help!

    Maybe they will work in the Safe Mode.Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • After iOS 8 upgrade keyboard shortcuts gone, just reboot

    FYI,
    apparently this also happened with the ios7 upgrade. Per the related ios7 thread, after a manual reboot of the phone, the shortcuts reappeared. The reboot solved my problem as my keyboard shortcut settings reappeared after reboot.

    I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
    I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
    Rebooted everything a dozen times.
    Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
    Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
    I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
    After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
    I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

  • Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after upgrading to iOS 7

    Does anyone know how to make the keyboard shortcuts start working again in iOS 8? After I upgraded to I OS 8 on my iPad air, the keyboard shortcut stopped working. Is there anyone who knows how to make this work again? All the fixes online pertain to iOS 7 and earlier, and they're not applicable for iOS 8.
    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks!

  • Spotlight / Language Input Menu Keyboard Shortcuts

    In the Mouse & Keyboard Preference Pane, I disable the keyboard shortcuts for the Language Input Menu.
    In addition, I try to change the keyboard shortcut for Spotlight from CMD-Space to Option-Space.
    The only problem is that these prefrences reset themselves upon logout.
    Is there any way to fix this, or can someone point me to the .plist file for keyboard shortcuts?
    Thanks in advance.

    can someone explain in more detail on how to change the keyboard shortcut? on my old imac, i was able to switch languages by using cmd-spacebar.. but on my macbook, it seems to direct to another command.
    how do i change that so i have a hotkey on my keyboard to change languages?? (i'm very tech. challenged, so baby steps would be goog >_<!!) thanks for the help!

  • Keyboard shortcuts sheet for After Effects CC

    Hi,
    Has anyone got a keyboard shortcuts sheet (single page) for After Effects CC?
    Also, any custom keyboards for CC available?
    I have seen keyboard shortcuts sheet for older versions of AE and keyboards for older version.

    There are nearly 900 keyboard shortcuts for After Effects. They can't all possibly fit on a single page.
    The PDF version of the Help document that Hans points to has all of the shortcuts in a single reference section. You can get to the HTML version of the same content using the Help > Keyboard Shortcuts command in After Effects.
