Override Keyboard Shortcuts - Possible?

PS CS3 on Win Vista 64, here, with a problem renaming objects in Bridge.
Is it possible to override the "Return to Adobe Photoshop" keyboard shortcut command Ctrl+Alt+O? I write most of my file names in the Hawaiian language, which includes the letter "o" with a macron (ō), generated on the standard Hawaiian Unicode keyboard with keystroke (Right)Alt+O. No problem in any other application, but the (Right)Alt+O combination in Bridge opens Photoshop instead of producing the letter I need in the file name. Since I have no other way of writing correct file names but I do have other ways of toggling between Bridge and Photoshop, I want to delete or override the "Return to Adobe Photoshop" shortcut command.
Is this possible? Any ideas as to how? FAQ & KB searches have come up with nothing so far.

Tried that before I posted here, though I appreciate the suggestion. I have already customised many shortcuts in Photoshop, but the specific shortcut I'm concerned with here is not one of those that can normally be modified by the user. It seems to be imbedded only in Bridge, which has no user interface for shortcut management. I guess what I'm looking for is a hack.
Anybody else?

    Nope.

  • No keyboard shortcut possible for auto exposure?

    I wanted to use the command editor to add a keyboard shortcut for auto exposure, but did not see anything for auto exposure in the list of available commands:
    that seems an unfortunate design decision...
    or am I missing something: is it possible to make a keyboard shortcut for this?
    (Ditto for the 2 auto levels commands)
    Regards, Strathglass

    I too found the Auto Exposure useless at first, however once you start to understand how it works, it's a real timesaver.
    I've found that it works quite similar to the AE in a camera. In otherwords, it's easily tricked by lots of black or lots of white; in such case you're better off setting it manually (just like you'd compensate in a camera).
    Where the AE function really comes in useful is to shift (center?) the histogram for the average image. This is quite important for many adjustments such as Contrast which behaves differently at various exposures. AE usually gets the image into the ballpark for consistent results when using adjustments.

  • Changing the safari keyboard shortcuts possible?

    So I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the shortcuts on the keyboard for Safari, specifically I would like to change the "Command-R" function which reloads the page to "F5". I have gone throught the whole keyboard shortcuts tab in system prefs (System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts) and added the safari menu command and my shortcut I wanted to add yada yada yada and nothing ever works no matter how many times I try or what I change. I am not sure whether or not the fact that I am the Apple Wireless keyboard has anything to do with this but I doubt it does. Any ideas?

    Hi
    I had to quit safari & reopen before it worked, but yes, it does work with F5.
    Did you choose Safari from the applications list in sys prefs-keyboard & mouse-keyboard shortcuts?
    then type Reload Page ( including the capital letters ) ? in the Menu Title box?
    then leave keyboard prefs?
    Let us know how you get on

  • Overriding OS keyboard shortcut

    Saw this question kind of asked in another thread. But the info wasn't correct. Using InDesign to Hide/Show Frame Edges the keyboard command is Command-^-h, when I use this, the system overrides and hides open folders. I can't find that in the keyboard shortcuts to uncheck. Is it possible or is it a locked default?

    oops sorry, I have figured it out, it supposed to be option f9, not shift f9

  • RE: Is it possible to set 2 commands to 1 keyboard shortcut

    I am wondering if it is possible to set  2 commands to 1 keyboard shortcut.
    I have a script that saves copies of InDesign pages to the desktop. I would love to set the keyboard shortcut for this script to be the same as the Save shortcut (Command S), which saves the InDesign pages into our content management system. However, I can't seem to get this to work.
    Any suggestions?

    No, you cannot get a kbsc to do two things at the same time.
    But…you can set it run a script.

  • Is it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to a Master Slide?

    Hello,
    I have been looking into an approach for assigning a keyboard shortcut to the application of a master slide ("Bullets" for example). I tried the keyboard shortcut assignment in System Preferences, but that did not work. I did a quick Google search to see if Master slides can get applied via apple script and then maybe assign a keyboard shortcut to execute the apple script, but that was not too fruitful.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I too have gone through the Premiere Elements 13 keyboard shortcut and cannot find what you seek for the command Applied Effect and a corresponding keyboard shortcut.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/10/pe-13-keyboard-shortcuts.html
    Until proven other, I do not believe what you seek is possible in Premiere Elements with the Project Assets/Edit area monitor/Applied Effect Tab/Applied Effects Palette.
    However, there is a possibility for command = Project Assets and a keyboard shortcut to be assigned. Would that work for you? If so, please see Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Application/Window and its Project Assets command awaiting a keyboard shortcut.
    Have you considered...
    a. dual monitor system
    b. shrinking Project Assets
    Please review and consider and then we can discuss this further if you want.
    Thank you.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for functions inside paragraph styles panel possible?

    I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for functions inide the paragraph styles panel in PS CS6.
    It seems that no option to do this  is exposed - ist this correct?

    That's an interesting approach and it made me aware about menu item insertation - but unfortunately none of the suggested works.
    Clear overrides when executed by button can work both on selections of text and on complete text blocks, the recorded version of
    pressing the button disregards that there's a selection and therefore only works globally. The menu insertation method can not deal
    with existing selections either - it's entry is greyed out in the actions panel when portions of the text are selected.

  • Keyboard shortcut for master selection possible?

    Is it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to a particular master slide? There are 2-3 masters I switch back and forth between, and it's a real pain to go to the mouse when I need to switch masters. Creating a shortcut doesn't seem to fall into the standard paradigm, because there's no menu item for it. How can I do this?

    Select all the text, and then select the chosen font.
    Alternatively, create two similar styles, one using Arial, the other with Courier.

    Why can´t I take a step back with the keyboard shortcut, cmd + ö, it was possible before, now you have to go to the bar at the top and "go back one step." I have Mac-systems, I also have mouse elbow, and do not want to use the mouse too often.

    This article lists some other options for "Back" navigation. Do any of them work for you?

  • A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
    As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
    "+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
    +I can confirm that:+
    +a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
    +b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
    +- close FCE (if open)+
    +- open System Preferences/International/Language+
    +- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
    +- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
    +- close System Preferences+
    +- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
    +It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
    Piero "
    As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
    I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
    Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
    This solution allows to restart the computer.
    It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.
    Michel Boissonneault

    Hi Michel,
    I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
    The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
    Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).

  • Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for "Export book to PDF"? (Cannot find it in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.)

    I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut for the "Export Book to PDF" command on the Books panel menu, but I simply can't find that command in Keyboard Shortcuts. After not finding it in what seemed the logical place (Keyboard Shortcuts > Product Area: Panel Menus > Book), I've looked through all the Product Areas listed on the dropdown menu -- but it seems I must be missing something.
    What do I need to do / where do I need to look to assign a keyboard shortcut for this command?

    Sorry, I agree that that is missing in action. I don't know of a workaround unless someone has written a script. Scripts can be called with keystrokes.

  • Is it possible to make a keyboard shortcut for a specific color for fonts?

    I'm a novice InDesign user and these forums have been a great resource, so thank you for your time.
    I'm doing a very complicated "text art" project and I'd like to be able to change text colors right from the keyboard.
    In Word, one is able to make a keyboard shortcut (to an unused key combination) that would allow you to change text to white, for example and another combination to change it to black, etc.
    I'd love to be able to do that in InDesign without having to mouse over to the color swatch or over to a paragraph style with the text color set.
    Again, thank you in advance!

    For anyone else who has this problem - I actually found out an easy workaround.
    There's another forum that addresses the NumPad issue for MacBooks (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/324960) and I did a modified version for character styles v. paragraph styles per the final comment by Kaj-Ettore.
    ==
    (1) Open text edit and copy the below script (for me it was changing the text to white):
    try{app.selection[0].applyCharacterStyle
    (app.documents[0].characterStyles.item(1),true)}catch(e){}
    Watch the number '(1)' in brackets on the last line: This is the Style number according to the Styles listed in the 'Character Styles' Panel of InDesign (following "[None]").
    Per my setup, "White" is 1 and "Black" is 2.
    SEE SCREENSHOT:
    Decrement the style you'd like to be applied via this script from the styles listed in the InDesign-applet 'paragraph styles'.
    *Note - This Workaround only works for specific Documents – since InDesign links Styles with document templates.
    (2)  Save the Script to:
    %InDesign_Install_Folder%\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\JavaScript\Style(%nmb%).jsx
    or name the file as you like. You'll have to assign a keyboard-shortcut to this and other files later, so it is wise to choose a common and memorable syntax for naming, e. g. numbers or style-names. (I used Style(White).jsx)
    (3)  Repeat this step for every style you'd like to be applicable via a keyboard shortcut...
    This is my "Black" script:
    try{app.selection[0].applyCharacterStyle
    (app.documents[0].characterStyles.item(2),true)}catch(e){}
    Saved as: Style(Black).jsx
    Assign a Shortcut to the Script
    (1)  Open InDesign > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > %YourSetOfShortcuts%
    (2)  Select 'Scripts'
    (3)  Choose the first script you've written, e. g. 'style(body).jsx'
    (4)  Create Shortcuts for Standard- and Text-Environment
    (5)  Repeat for any script you've written
    (6)  Done.
    This worked perfectly for me and I can now use ONE keyboard shortcut (albeit 3 simultaneous keys) to change from black text to white text.

  • Is it possible to have a keyboard shortcut run a script with CS6?

    I see there is an option for it to go to "other scripts" with a keyboard shortcut, but that really doesn't help much. I want it to play a specific script that is already loaded. Thanks in advance!!

    I'm working on something very similar right now.
    Written in AHK.
    so win only sorry Macsters...
    Scans a folder of your scripts and displays them in a panel (see above)
    you can click any one like a button.
    or you can eg. 3 enter.
    Panel can be dragged to where ever you want it.
    Still playing with the finishing touches and will post the finished result once I am done.
    That will be next year some time, as I am finished work for the year.
    Run, % "[Full path to]\Illustrator.exe " Scriptlocation JSName
    this is my AHK line to run the script.
    any reason for the cmd.exe section
