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

  • 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.
    Mahalo

    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?

  • Keyboard shortcuts in SAP GUI Java on Mac OS X

    Hi,
    I'm running SAP GUI for Java 7.20 rev 2 on Mac OS X 10.6.3.
    Everything is working fine, except for some keyboard shortcuts.
    I'm used to the Ctrl-F1 and Ctrl-F2 shortcuts when working on ABAP code, but these shortcuts do not work. It seems like OS X is overriding them or something. The Ctrl-F3 or Shift-F1 and others are working fine though.
    I've tried disabling all keyboard shortcuts in the OS X system settings, but that didn't solve the problem.
    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply mriddoch, please leave another reply if you manage to figure it out
    In the meantime I've switched to working with Parallels running a copy of Windows 7 and the windows SAP GUI.
    Parallels allows me to use Mac keyboard shortcuts (such as cmd-c cmd-v etc.) inside the virtual Windows system (mapped to their corresponding windows keyboard shortcuts).
    You can also map your own shortcuts, so currently I've mapped cmd-f1,-f2 and-f3 to respectively ctrl-f1, -f2 and -f3 (for the ABAP workbench), which makes things feel more natural on my Mac when writing ABAP code.
    Here's a screenshot of the mapping: [http://web.me.com/rvanmil/Screenshots/parallels_keyboard_shortcuts.png]

  • Brightness Keyboard Shortcut - Dual Displays

    Hi guys,
    Posted this in another forum and did not get an answer so thought I'd give it a try here. I've got a Mac Pro with dual 23" displays. Anyone know of a way for the keyboard shortcuts (F14/F15) to affect brightness on BOTH displays instead of just the main one?
    Thanks in advance!

    Nope. Not it. I managed to set it so F1/F2 **AND** Fn+F1/Fn+F2 adjust the screen brightness. I can't for the life of me find where I *defined the keyboard shortcuts* for the screen brightness. I know that I did it, I just wish I'd written down *where*.
    The problem I'm having is that the system F1/F2 functions are overriding application-specific shortcuts. NOT the "Function/Fn" stuff.

  • How to skip words using keyboard shortcuts

    Using Ctrl+Rt arrow usually skips words when typing in a free text box but FF uses that keyboard command to move through the open tabs. Is this customizable?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == typing in a text field

    on the Keyboard Shortcuts page, under the Windows & Tabs section, it says that CTRL + LEFT ARROW (or RIGHT ARROW) will navigate between tabs. this means that when you are in a text box (e.g. typing an email in a web based email provider like gmail, or in the box i am typing this reply in right now) when you press CTRL + L/R ARROW it changes tabs instead of skipping words. so basically firefox is overriding ability to skip words using CTRL + L/R ARROW. this is rather annoying when typing emails using firefox. i have resorted to typing my emails in a word processor, then pasting into gmail.
    is there a way to disable the CTRL + L/R ARROW shortcut in firefox? it seems redundant to even have that shortcut because CTRL + PGUP/PGDN already does this.
    i did find [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=211030 this page] on the ubuntu forums with a user experiencing the same issue. one user suggested the following (quoted below), but it didnt work for me because the setting was already set to true.
    QUOTE FROM UBUNTU FORUMS:
    In firefox, type about:config in the adress bar and change layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to True

  • Keyboard shortcuts creation

    Ok in Windows in Lotus notes.  I used to be able to write an email, highlight text, type
    atl-t to get to the text menu
    c to open colors
    and various letters to change to a specific color
    I though it would be nice to create an appliation keyboard shortcut do map say cmd-1 to red and so on. This doesnt work . i assume because the command and 3 deep in the menu structure
    i am doing a ctrl-f2
    t
    c
    color now to get to a color, not bad, but seems like it could be shorter... Thoughts?
    Thanks

    as you seem to be aware we are regular users just as yourself. we can not explain apple design decisions. zoom shortcuts are set on per application basis but privately, I agree that it would certainly be nice to have uniform shortcuts for common functions, at least across apple applications. they actually seem to realize that themselves. I noticed that in snow leopard empty trash shortcut in Mail was changed from command+k to commandshiftdelete which is the same as in finder.
    But as for zoom shortcuts you can leave apple feedback on the issue which you've already done. and you can also remap those shortcuts to anything you want in system preferences->keyboard->keyboard shortcuts. just create your own shortcuts overriding and they will override the default ones.

  • Keyboard shortcut for "Help" search menu (CS6)

    Hello,
    In CS5 I managed to remove all shortcuts overriding the CMD + Shift + 7, thus being able to use that standar shortcut for executing a menu search on Mac OSX.
    Since switching to CS6 (and importing my keyboard shortcuts from CS5), CMD + Shift + 7 doens't work anymore when I'm working in an artboard.
    _However_, if I have a modal view (e.g. "Preferences > General") open, the shortcut works as intended...
    Any leads, anyone?

    Hi Michael,
    Command . will close the spotlight window but keep the search in there.
    It will be there next time you hit Command spacebar
    Hitting the Escape keep will be the same as hitting the x

  • Basic Panel Keyboard Shortcut No Longer Works

    For some reason when I try to use the keyboard shortcut (command 1) to return to the basic panel it no longer works. Any ideas?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut in your operating system for Cmd-1? This would most likely override the Lightroom keyboard shortcut.
    Also, you can try deleting your preference file: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut for the Fade In / Fade out Behavior

    I use the Fade in/out behavior a lot and i wonder if there's a shortcut i've not found. what is it?
    If there is not, can I create one? or for other behaviors / filters used a lot? Thanks for any help.

    There is a way to do this using the System Preferences. I found this tip years ago on a web site I can no longer find anywhere, but I still use it and it still works:
    1) Go to the Library, drag the Fade In Fade Out behavior into the Favorites Menu folder in the left-side column.
    2) Go to the Favorites menu category in the Library, check to make sure your behavior is there.
    3) Go to the Favorites menu in the main menu, check to make sure your behavior is listed as a menu item. Make sure to note the name of the menu item there.
    4) If it's there, go to System Preferences, and click on the Keyboard & Mouse icon.
    5) Go to Keyboard Shortcuts, click the + button at the bottom left to add a new shortcut.
    6) Choose "Motion" from the Applications popup, then type in the exact name of the Fade In Fade Out behavior in the Menu Title box (it has to be exact, otherwise this won't work). You don't need the "Favorites" part, just the menu name, in this case "Fade In Fade Out".
    7) Choose whatever key shortcut you want, but make sure it doesn't override any existing ones in Motion!
    8) Click Add in the dialog.
    Now, when you switch back to Motion, you can press that key you just added and it will instantly add a Fade In/Fade Out behavior to the selected layer automatically. This works with anything you can add to the Favorites Menu, just keep track of the name and you can add custom layers, filters, behaviors, or anything else you can stash in the Library, and recall them with a custom hotkey.

  • 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.

  • How can I (re-)enable keyboard shortcuts in Mail?

    Hi there,
    In Mail v 4.5, the "command-6" key combination has somehow become disabled (greyed out).  I use this quite often to check the contents of the junk folder (Mailbox - Go To - Junk).  Any idea(s) how get it back?
    Thanks a lot,

    I don't know if Cubase lets you reassign keyboard shortcuts within the program, but that is the first place to look. Many pro apps like Ableton Live and Photoshop have a keyboard shortcut editor that only changes shortcuts within that one application.
    If Cubase won't let you do that, then here's another possibility. Go into System Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse, click Keyboard Shortcuts tab, scroll all the way down to the bottom where it says Application Keyboard Shortcuts, click the plus button to add an application, and start editing shortcuts for Cubase only.
    If that does not let you override the function keys, try downloading FunctionFlip and use it to toggle the function key just for the specific function keys you want to override. This has been a very useful utility in overriding just some function keys. FunctionFlip is a way to apply the OS X Keyboard preference "Use all F1, F2 keys as standard function keys" at a key level, instead of toggling the whole row.

  • How do i create a keyboard shortcut to sync my device on itunes on mac?

    Hi,
    i need help!
    ive been wanting to sync my iDevice on itunes using only a keyboard shortcut, but i cant seem to be able to create it! please help me!

    Jbrenner,
    Not sure if you have found a suitable workflow. The best option in my view would be the COMMAND EDITOR option.
    1. Launch COMMAND --> CUSTOMIZE from Apeture Menue.
    2. If you are doing the custom command for the first time you'll have to duplicate the Custom Command menu, this can be done by selecting DUPLICATE on the menue which would by default display DEFAULT.
    3. When you duplicate, you ll be asked to save the duplicated Custom Editor.
    4. The duplicated custom editor basically will have all the DEFAULT short cut keys and you are now ready to customise it.
    5. To customise it, select the Menu action from COMMAND GROUP and simply press the desired short cut for the action on you physical key board.
    6. If the SHORT CUT is already used by Apeture, it will prompt whether or not you want to override the DEFAULT, hit yes.
    7. As a last step dont forget to hit SAVE on KEY DETAILS tab.

  • Extra keypad to make keyboard shortcuts easier?   Shuttle Pro v.2?

    Hi all,
    I like the white keyboard that came with my Mac Pro except for the fact the F keys are all squished together. I like how PC keyboards group the F keys in groups of 4. Even with the F keys grouped are not that easy for me to use. I also have a Logitech Internet Navigator keyboard that has media keys along the top. I am visually impaired so I do touch typing and don't look at the keyboard. In fact, I keep the keyboard tray recessed under the desk while I am typing. I am currently using the Mac Pro keyboard with my Mac Pro. I haven't tried using the Logitech keyboard with the Mac Pro.
    I'm trying to make it easier to access shortcut keys. I don't really like redefining keyboard keystrokes because I don't know if I am overriding an existing keyboard shutcut. So, a better keyboard shortcut manager would be nice that showed me applications use which shortcut keys. Does such software exist for the mac? Could such programs learn the shortcuts used by newly installed applications?
    Also, I think it would be handy to have an external keypad that I can assign shortcuts to. I would want some shortcuts to be global and some to be local to certain apps. Also, I want to be able to use the main keyboard's modifier keys. At least one jog wheel would be nice too. The Shuttle Pro V.2 looks like a possibility but I can find very many articles about it for general use. Most of the articles refer to it being used with pro apps. Anyone care to share their experience with this?
    BTW, I use a Logitech TrackMan Marble+ trackball instead of the Mighty Mouse.
    I'd appreciate any other suggestions such as keyboards or extra keypads.
    Thanks!
    Steven

    I would expect one to be able to add a shortcut to this specific command in FCP X's command editor, but like you I can't seem to find it there.
    I can offer two suggestions:
    1) If you use Save Current Frame more than any other export option, you can easily attach to it the default Cmd-E.
    Open Preferences->Destinations, control-click on "Save Current Frame" in the left pane and choose "make default".
    2) You can use the system keyboard shortcuts to assign an appropriate shortcut to "Save Current Frame...".
    Open System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts. Click on "App Shortcuts", then click the "+" button to add a new one. Select Final Cut Pro as the application, enter the text of the menu command *exactly* - "Save Current Frame..." without the quotes - then click the box for the shortcut and enter the desired one. I tested this with Cmd-Control-Option-Shift S and it worked immediately (not even needed to quit FCP X).

  • Default Keyboard Shortcut Overridden

    I just bought a new iMac, and was hoping the upgrade would resolve an issue I was having on my iBook. Unfortunately I used the Migration Assistant against my (initially) better judgement and copied the problem over as well. At some point I managed to override the default action of Command+N so that now it skips to the next track in iTunes. I can not for the life of me figure out what program is doing it though. I've checked QuickSilver and Sizzling Keys and nether of them are setting the action. I've also tried going into System Preferences and resetting the default keyboard shortcuts all to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas where I can look or what else I can try to restore the default action?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    I have recently noticed that my keyboard shortcut keys are no longer set to their defaults (F4 for dashboard, F11 for volume down, etc.). Even after hitting Restore Defaults on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab under Keyboard and Mouse, the keys are not correctly set (F12 is for dashboard now and the others are likewise reset to another key).
    I have no idea what has caused this change and would just like the default settings restored as it seems even with double-clicking the shortcut and holding down a new key (as per the instructions on the Keyboard and Mouse settings) I cannot restore them to their original functions.
    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    In System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard, be sure the checkbox is checked (or unchecked, depending on how you use the function keys).

  • Keyboard shortcuts limitations or not?

    RANT:  The loss of the command-shift-F shortcut for a Spotlight Find-by-file-name search is the work of an idiot, in the original sense of the word:  it involves a cognitive and a moral failure.  The moral failing arises from the self-serving aspect that ignores the needs of a substantial group of users.  This is a serious issue for me because my HD contains a decade's worth of files and when I do the standard content search, a file whose name matches the search term is often fiftieth on the list of Spotlight hits.
    QUESTION 1:  Having to use ML on my new MBA I was planning to use HoudahSpot, which is a Spotlight front end in which you can set a customized find-by-file-name search as default.  The customized search is in the form of a template file.  I therefore wanted to map a keyboard shortcut onto this file.  Is there a way to do this?  (This would also be useful for other purposes relating to the loss of the traditional Apple menu, which is too esoteric to go into here.)
    Q2:  Another route is to use the 'services' section of the keyboard shortcut panel in the system preferences to specify a 'new search' in HoudahSpot.  I wanted assign command-F or command-shift-F. Although I can specify these in the appropriate dialog box they continue to display their default behavior, which is a Spotlight find-by-content search and a shortcut to 'all my files', respectively.  Is there a way to override these default shortcuts, which seem to be 'claimed' by the finder? Why do we not have control of finder shortcuts?
    Thanks in advance for any help on these difficult issues.

    Hi -
    In order to support keyboard shortcuts for the Tag Panel we needed to implement a bit of a unique method. The Tag Panel itself does indeed need to have focus in order for it's keyboard shortcuts to activate. The core reason for this is to remove the potential for keyboard shortcut conflicts between the rest of the app the those stored within a Tag template. Remember, you can share Tag Templates across system and with other users. and each template can contain it's own shortcut definitions. The only way to prevent conflicts is to enforce the focus rule.
    the recommended workflow is to open a clip and set focus to the Tag Panel. From the Tag Panel all of the Transport Controls (JKL, SPACE BAR for play/pause, etc.) will still function when the Tag Panel has focus. So you should still be able to review your clips and apply Tags via shortcut.
    Let me know how this works. We are always looking to improve workflows so if you come up with some improvement ideas please share.
    Regards,
    Michael
