One indesign keyboard shortcut... equivalent to quark...

from wherever you put your cursor in a paragraph (line, sentence, or entire text) i could
select text from that point to the end by
shift+command arrow down...
or to the beginning of the text
shift+command arrow up
does anyone know if in design has an equivalent?
i've tried shift+command+end... but it selects only the next block...?!
i'd appreciate your help...
henry

If you mean to the end of the line, that would be shift-End.
To the end of the thread is indeed cmd-shift-End. Works fine here.
Is your text definitely threaded up and not in separate frames? Turn on View->Show Text Threads to check.

  • InDesign Keyboard Shortcut for Submenu Item

    I am attempting to make a keyboard shortcut for a particular menu selection in InDesign CS5. Particularly, I want to select an Adobe PDF Preset
    ("PDF/X-1a:2001") from the submenu. However, when I try select this in Keyboard Shortcuts, all I get is "Define" .. which of couse will bring me to the presets window. I want to be able to select a preset and assign a keyboard shortcut (in this case F15).
    Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be done? I tried various ways, but still can't select anything from that submenu.
    Thanks.

    Hey,
    I agree with Cari! Using SHIFT while clicking on PDF preset name would speed up things! On the other hand, you can use scripting to define which export profile to use and choose destination folder. Great thing about the scripts is that you can assign custom shortcuts to them!
    // Set PDF Preset name
    var myPreset = "[PDF/X-1a:2001]";
    // If not using CS5 or later, set this to: false
    var usingCS5 = true;
    /// --- DO NOT EDIT --- ///
    if(app.documents.length)
        doExport();
    else
        alert("No documents opened");
    function doExport(){
        try{app.pdfExportPresets.item(myPreset).name}
        catch(_){
            alert("PDF Preset not found!\nPlease check name and try again!");
            exit();
        var myFile = (function(){
            var setFile = File.saveDialog ("PDF export based on " + myPreset + " ...", "PDF:*.pdf");
            if(setFile != null)
                return setFile;
            else
                return false;
        if(myFile != false){
            if(Boolean(usingCS5))
                app.activeDocument.asynchronousExportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
            else
                app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    All you have to set is PDF preset name and you are good to go! Also, you can save this script with different names containing different presets name and assign different shortcuts to every one of them.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I get my InDesign keyboard shortcuts to work?

    Can anyone please tell me how to reset my InDesign defaults. They were working fine a while ago, but now my keyboard shortcuts don't respond. Eg Ctrl X, Ctrl V, Enter and my arrow keys.
    I have reset the preferences with Alt+Ctrl+Shift, and also renamed both defaults files, but still keyboard shortcuts don't work for me.

    Your user account is not named Administrator, though, is it? You probably don't have the built-in Administrator account turned on (it's off by default). See Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Help Forums and Elevated Command Prompt - Windows 7 Help Forums for directions on how to turn this account on and off.
    Before you do that, though, you can try some other things. Go to your current user account, as directed in the previous post, and rename the two Adobe folders, reboot and restart ID. New folders should be created, and hopefully the permissions will be correct. If the shortcuts still are not there.
    If that doesn't work, delete or rename the new Adobe folders created in the previous attempt, go to Users in Control Panel and create a new user account with and make it an administrator, then log on with that account and start InDesign. If the shortcuts work, copy the Adobe folders to your original user account.
    Still not working? Make sure you are logged in on your regular account. On each of the two Adobe folders in your user profile right-click and choose Properties, then the Security tab. Verify that your user and System both have full control.
    Still not working? Time to activate the Administrator Account.
    Set a Restore Point before you do any of this stuff, just in case....

  • How do I change the quit indesign keyboard shortcut? (indesign CC, mac)

    Now this seems like it should be a simple task, right? Head up to the edit menu and click on keyboard shortcuts, find the quit app shortcut and change it to what I need. Why bother changing it you ask? Well for some reason out of the blue, my indesign quits everytime I try to select all (cmd+a) and completely ignores the usual cmd+q shortcut despite it saying in the top menu that that is what the shortcut is set to. So after quitting indesign several times thinking it was crashing I then realised I was closing the app myself but through a keyboard shortcut that I never set up so I need to change it back. But here's the thing, I cant find the quit indesign shortcut setting anywhere in indesign CC. As it was no where to be found I thought perhaps I could rectify this by restoring my inDesign default settings... Nope, no good. So I need some help.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've never even heard of a problem like this.
    The only thing I can think of is that the current shortcut that closes indesign for you is somehow set in the System Preferences for closing a program.
    But I don't know why "Exit" isn't in your Keyboard Shortcut sets?
    Think you might need a clean install.

  • Create a Keyboard Shortcut to remove a recognised face in iPhoto

    I did originally post this in the iPhoto forum but it was suggested that it may be a script is required to achieve this, so I have posted the contents of my original qustion here below.
    The original post is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2448152&tstart=0
    This seems to be something that others would like to do also (remove multiple recognised faces in iPhoto) bat as yet, Apple do not have anything built in iPhoto to do this
    I think the title says it all but just to be clear I shall explain.
    Since there is no way to delete a quantity of recognised faces in (for example) a random group/crowd scene, and you cant block certain photos from having Faces scan them I was wondering about creating a keyboard shortcut equivalent of clicking the little cross in the top of each 'Face Box'
    The tab key allows you to move from one Face Box to another, so if I could jsut create a KB shortcut to do the deleting as well, then it maybe a bit quicker than the mouse work that is required when deleting 5 + faces on a single photo.
    I know how to create KB shortcuts for Application menu items, but the Delete Face box option does not seem to have a mneu item.
    Anyone either:
    1) Know how I could achieve this
    or
    2) Another quick multi 'Face Box' delete workflow

    Might be something an Appls script could do. Ask in the Applescript forum. Otherwise, submit a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Acrobat Pro 7 Keyboard Shortcut to select multiple bookmarks

    I am looking for the keyboard shortcut equivalent of ctrl-left mouse to select multiple bookmarks. Either it can't be done or it is something obscured to my mind.

    I'm afraid the exact functionality you're looking for is not available.
    With the Edit Selection Tool (aka the G key) activated, you can select the edit points when you marquee drag, rather than selecting the clips themselves. When you select multiple edit points in this manner, it will bring up the Trim Edit window with the highest video layer selected (or, if you've selected only audio, with the lowest audio track selected) but you cannot toggle edit directions for individual tracks.
    If you must ripple in different directions, the only method that comes to mind is to activate the Ripple tool, then press Shift and Command while selecting the specific end of the edit point. You can then ripple in different directions using the [ & ] keys (or with Shift for multi-frame ripples).

  • Is there WINDOWS KEYBOARD shortcut to restart a mac ???

    Using a "WINDOWS KEYBOARD" (no "eject" button), is there a keyboard shortcut that will bring up the shut down/restart menu?  Equivalent to "control+eject" on a mac keyboard?
    Reason I ask:  Periodically, my Apple bluetooth devices (keyboard, trackpad and mouse) becomes completely unresponsive while my imac (2011 iMac running Lion 10.7.2) is in sleep mode - pressing a key on the bluetooth keyboard, trackpad or mouse will not wake the iMac up from sleep mode. Pressing the power button will wake the iMac, but I can't type in my unlock password because the keyboard is unresponsive.  When this happens, I plug in my spare "WINDOWS" keyboard via USB, at which time I can use this USB keyboard to wake the iMac and type in my unlock password.  Now I'm "in my computer" and only the "WINDOWS" keyboard is working (bluetooth trackpad and mouse is still unresponsive).  Only thing that will "reset" my bluetooth devices seems to be "restarting" my iMac.
    Using this "WINDOWS" keyboard, I'm looking for a way to shutdown/restart my iMac using a keyboard shortcut equivalent or similar to "control+eject" on the apple keyboard - which brings up the shut down/restart dialogue.  The "WINDOWS" keyboard obviously does not have an "eject" button.  I've tried some of the F12, F11 etc keys with no luck . . .
    Hope someone has a solution to this.  I'm trying to avoid "hard rebooting" the iMac as a last resort.
    Thanks

    By holding ctrl + F12 for a couple of secs will get you the shutdown menu on a Windows keyboard.

  • Why is my keyboard shortcut not working?

  • Using keyboard shortcuts with the text tool active

    How does one use keyboard shortcuts when the Text Tool is selected? For example, how do I switch to the Selection Tool when the Text Tool is active? I cannot press "V", as it simply types the letter "v" instead of switching to the Selection Tool.

    Thank you!! I knew it would be an easy solution

  • CS4 Reset View Keyboard Shortcut (ESC key) Not Working

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this:
    Every keyboard shortcut in Photoshop CS4 works fine for me except one: the keyboard shortcut to reset view after using view rotation (the ESC key). Oddly, the keyboard shortcut does work in CS5 (I installed the demo). I've checked to ensure my keyboard is set to US English, which it is. I've tried resetting the Photoshop settings, and even reinstalling. Nothing. This particular keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to be one that can be changed through the keyboard shortcuts menu, and I have never customized the keyboard shortcuts anyway.
    Some more information about my setup -- I'm using an Intuos 4 tablet, and do use the wheel to rotate the view. However, the keyboard shortcut doesn't work when I use the tool with my mouse or the wheel on my tablet, so it seems unlikely this is the issue. Regarding my hardware acceleration, I have a current gen nVidia card with plenty of horsepower, and all other OpenGL enhancements work fine.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hi there
    Have you ensured that Captivate has been updated with all service releases?
    I could be wrong but I seem to recall a service release fixed this issue.

  • Create keyboard shortcuts for apple mail lion

    Can one create keyboard shortcuts for Apple Mail (in Lion)?  How does one do that?

  • Single keyboard shortcut needed for doing the Mail PDF

    I very frequently e-mail Word files (using Apple Mail) as PDFs. However, it takes two long steps (Print Command and pulldown to Mail PDF command). I want to have one single keyboard shortcut for doing the Mail PDF.workflow command from within Word and not have to use the mouse at all. Any ideas?

    Maybe you can script it with AppleScript Editor (in Applications)? I'm no AppleScript guru, but since you did not get any other response, I thought I'd mention it.
    Get to the point where you want to use your keyboard command. Hit Record in AppleScript editor. If those actions are scriptable (not everything is), they will show up in the window. Hit Stop when you are done. You should be able to save the script as an application.

  • Xfce system tray/plugin keyboard shortcuts???

    How can one add keyboard shortcuts in xfce4 to show up apps that are in xfce4-panel? For example, xfce4-notes-plugin-svn, xfce4-mixer-svn, xfce4-mount-plugin, etc. They are in the pane. Now when one wants to use them, then need to click on them. Another similar thing will be apps in system tray. To minimize or maximize them, you need to click on them. Is there a way to do this with keyboard.
    Another question is abot adding apps in system tray. Many apps, e.g., aterm, adobe reader, etc., are not in the system tray. Any suggestion to overcome this problem.

  • 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!
