Organize windows shortcuts like in Windows

Hi everyone,
I moved to Mac 3 months ago with and I found my way around quite well.
There is still something that I feel is wasting my time.
Under Windows I used extensively the shortcut "Windows Key"+"Left or rigth Arrows" which allow to size the current application window to half the screen and cycle move it to the differente halves available (if you have 2 screens = 4 halves).
"Window Key"+"Up Arrows" which allows to maximize the current window
"Window Key"+"Down Arrows" which allows to minimize all windows
On Mac, Command + Option + M will minimize all windows but only for the current application.
I want to minimize ALL windows.
Any help on how to emulate the "Windows Key"+"Left or rigth Arrows" on OS X would be much appreciated.
By the way, I'm still trying to make F9, F10, F11 work. There seems to be a lot of discussions around these keys  :-(.
TIA

I don't currently have Photoshop on my computers so I can't experiment with this for you, but if you can find the equivalent menu items in your Mac version of Photoshop, you should be able to set custom hotkeys for the commands. You do this in Applications > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts. Here is a reference:   OS X Mountain Lion: Create keyboard shortcuts for apps
If there is no equivalent menu item that does what you want, then you could probably make an Automator workflow that would do it, and assign a keyboard shortcut to that.

  • Elements 11 Organizer window is truncated at top, on iMac running 10.9.2, so I can't use Share function, etc.

    Elements 11 Organizer window is truncated at top, on iMac running 10.9.2, so I can't use Share function, etc.

    Thank you very much.  I changed the resolution from 2048 x 1152 to 1600 x 900, and it showed the bar with the Import, Media ... Create, Share buttons, but did not show the bar at the very top with the red, yellow and green buttons for closing, hiding and maximizing the window. 
    Then I noticed that Apple had an update to Mavericks available.  Since I installed that, I can set the resolution back to 2048 x 1152 and still see the Import, etc. bar.  I can live without the Close and Maximize buttons, but it does seem like there is a bug lurking here that either Adobe or Apple needs to fix. 

  • On the xcode organizer window if there is no provisioning profile on the left under library, how would I import a provisioning account?

    On the xcode organizer window if there is no provisioning profile on the left under library, how would I import a provisioning account? I'm getting an error message saying valid signing identity not found when I try to run an xcode project on an ipad. Under the orgainzer window a few icons are missing. Another issue that sort of complicates things is that I can get into developer.apple.com->membercenter, but there is no icon for the provisioning portal to export the profile.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have had an iTunes account for a while, but never really taken the time to learn to use it.  Now I have two computers, with two different versions of iTunes, with content on one that I want to transfer to the other.  Or I'd like to directly access the older libarary from the new computer. 
    There are a number of ways you might achieve this. The following article(s) may help you.
    Moving your iTunes library to a new computer
    Alternatively you might just use home sharing to share the libraries.
    Plus I have some videos and audio CD's that I have never imported, and would like to bring them into iTunes and store on an external hard drive to keep from loading up my computer.  I have no idea how to accomplish all of this, and cannot find clear instructions on the website.  Is there a screen where I can access written step-by-step instructions?  I don't have the time or patience to play around and do it by trail and error.  Thanks.
    If you place a CD into the CD drive, iTunes will ask you if you want to import it.
    If you want iTunes to store content on an external drive, you need to tell it to do so, which you do at iTunes preferences > Advanced.

  • Imported photos won't show up as thumbnails in the Organizer window. What did I do wrong?

    I recently imported .jpg files from a Canon A3000 and the files show imported but the thumbnails do not appear in the organizer window. When I do a re-import of the same files it give me a dialog box saying thay have already been imported. Can someone help me please.

    Please try right clicking the thumbnails and "Update thumbnail" option.

  • Elements 12 organizer window froze on upper area of desktop

    When I open organizer from the app icon the program opens but I can't see or access the menu bar on the top of the window. can't drag or scroll the window down except for the lower rh corner.
    iMac 27 with Maverics OS. The editor opens normally but not Organizer for some reason. Can got to full screen but not normal size window.
    Here is a screen shot of what I see when I open Organizer. I am using the downloaded version. I also "uninstalled" it once and still have the same problem. It does go to full screen mode but I can't
    see or get to the upper part of the window. I also uninstalled elements 10.

    Thanks for your initiative. I just resolved the problem with the help of the Adobe chat support. It seemingly was a Windows issue. I installed a new user account, changed to that user and opened the organizer from there. It worked allright. Even when I went back to my original user account, the error did not recur. Everything is OK now, although the origin of the problem is a mistery to me.

  • Elements 10 organizer window position on screen.

    I am helping an elderly friend who uses Elements 10 on a MAC, his organizer window appears on screen with the top line/menu bar having File, Edit, find, View etc. off the screen at the top and I can't move it down to display properly. I am not very familiar with a MAC being a PC user myself, does anyone know why this has happened and how to fix it please?

    I totally don't understand what you're saying, sorry. One major difference between PSE in windows vs the mac version, is that on a mac, for both the editor and the organizer, that top line is attached to the top of the mac's screen itself, not the program window. You can't do anything to the organizer window that would cover it.
    See:
    So are you sure he's  not just  looking in the wrong place? No matter where I put an application window, that top bar with the black apple is at the top of the display in every program.

  • Elements 12 Organizer window frozen

    I run Elements 12 under Windows 7 64bit. The Window is cut and frozen, everything above the "person" (Personen), "location" (Orte), "event" (Ereignisse) bar is cut away -  and everything left of the button "Add Location" (Hinzufügen Ort) is also cut away. The complete window is frozen at the top left corner of the screen and cannot be moved with the mouse from there. I can see and scroll my thumbnails and can get some menu based operation via ALT D and ALT B, but I cannot see my file hierarchy, as it is on the left of the visible area. There is no reaction to mouse right button. I have tried reinstalling, rebooting, reducing the windows character size to small 100%. Kindly help to find a solution.

    Thanks for your initiative. I just resolved the problem with the help of the Adobe chat support. It seemingly was a Windows issue.

  • Handle browser keyboard shortcuts (like F5)

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it's possible to handle browser keyboard shortcuts (like the F5, F6, etc) and disable it.
    I can do this by Javascript and an Applet but not in a Flex application.
    EDIT: forgot to say that when the Flex application has focus I cant handle the shortcuts in Javascript, so it's impossible to trap the keys in Javascript and sent them to the Flash movie.
    There's some issue reported in http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-96
    Thank You

    Have you? And did you look at the issue link I sent?
    I know how to do a EventListener! the problem is that the Flash Player does not 'trap' the browser shortcuts !!!
    The manual says:
    "When handling a key or key combination that the underlying operating system or browser recognizes, the operating system or browser generally processes the event first. For example, in Microsoft Internet Explorer, pressing Control+w closes the browser window. If you trap that combination in your Flex application, Internet Explorer users never know it, because the browser closes before the ActiveX Flash Player has a chance to react to the event."
    So I'm guessing that, for some kind of reason, Flash Player is the only ActiveX that does not handle this.

  • How can i change the color of menu shortcuts like in photoshop?

    Hello!
    In Photoshop there's this nice feature in which you can edit every shortcut (like open file, close, palettes, etc.) of the menus (file, edit, etc.) so they have a color and they're easily recognisable. How can I do the same on other mac program? I'd like e.g. my "special character" palette in Pages to be colored, so I don't have to go to "Help" to find it...And some other useful stuff... Is it possibile? Thank!
    Luca

    Has to be written into the app by the developer. Send them a suggestion to add such a feature.
