Path to Custom Keyboard settings

Could someone point me in the direction of the Custom Keyboard settings path (in Explorer) please.
I can find the path to the Installed options for these but not the path to my custom ones in CS5.5
I actually have them on a usb stick but I need to know where to put them in CS6.
Darn...I used to know this!

Thank you Ninja.
Actually I was trolling around and lucked up on it a few minutes ago.
I was so delighted that I did not take any notice of where I actually was and after copying my Custom Keyboard file across to CS6..I realised I had not taken note of where I was!
I have written it down from your post.
Will ask you again when CS7 comes around.

3.4 deleted my custom keyboard layout settings

Hi,
just a nasty bug report. On all my Macs (iMac 27" early 2009 and mid 2011; MPB 15" early 2008 - all running 10.8.2) Aperture 3.4 update deleted my custom keyboard layout setting. It is just gone....
You better make backup before you update. I wonder what I will discover next....
Seems to me like Aperture will never be a great piece of software...

How did you create the custom keyboard layout? Using a plug-in? Or do mean the custom command settings? My custom command settings are still there. The presets are stored in the User library if you need to restore them.
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Command Sets/My Commands.apcommands
If you used plug-ins to configure Aperture, check out if they are still compatible. The recent version accepts only sandboxed plug-ins:
Aperture 3.4 and later: Some third-party plug-ins are no longer compatible

Keyboard Settings button disabled

On opening Region and Language > Input Sources, the wrench button is disabled. I can't figure out which package is needed to select that option despite searching around.
Attached screenshot below.
Anyone else ran into this on a fresh arch install with the gnome 3.6.2 package?

Yup! Have that installed..(thanks for the reply though!)
If I remember correctly, in Ubuntu, this brought up a screen to change the caps-lock key behaviour to esc, etc...I already used dconf to map it, I am sure that there is something wrong with my keyboard settings.
(Possibly) related problem using "Custom Shortcuts" to map "gnome-terminal" to "Ctrl+Alt+T", stops working on reboots until I redefine the key.

Path to FCPX share settings?

I am looking for where FCPX does store share settings. As the custom share settings don't appear, when I start FCPX with another user on the same machine, I recon tey are in user/library. I have deleted FCPX's p
references in user/library/Application support, but the settings are still there.
They can't be in the application bundle itself, because I have deleted the app and reinstalled it — prefs are still there.
FCPX also does not use the share settings location compressor uses to store it's settings. I know that, because share settings don't update in FCPX, when I change them in compressor.
Can someone tell where those share settings are kept by FCPX?

Thank you Ninja.

I am having trouble with custom color settings. It randomly reverts back to North American General Purpose without warning. This is a big problem for me. My customers (professional photographers) expect consist colors in my printing. Help!

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Transfer customized keyboard shortcuts to second Mac?

I have set up many custom keyboard shortcuts (both system-wide and for specific applications) in the Keyboard Settings panel. Instead of defining them all again, I would like to transfer these to a second Mac that I just purchased.
I assume this would require copy & paste from a plist file in Preferences - but I couldn't find the right one. Any ideas?
Thank you!

The application specific shortcuts are most likely stored in the applications plist file.
Have a look in com.apple.systempreferences.plist for the system wide ones.
If that fails use the trick arthur wrote above.

[SOLVED] Add a custom keyboard layout in X

I'd like to discard QWERTY and start using Dvorak. However, I find it may be easier to accustom myself to Dvorak if I exchange its left-hand keys with right-hand ones.
So I want to create a custom keyboard layout. By inspecting /usr/share/X11/xkb, I found there are two methods to specify keyboard layout: by keymaps (seems to be deprecated) and by rules. Both methods will then determine and incorporate keycodes, types, compat, symbols, and geometry.
Of course I can directly modify existing configurations (for example, to change symbols). But these settings will be gone once I update the package xkeyboard-config.
Then my question is: Is it possible to add a custom keyboard layout in the user's home directory in a pluggable way?
Anything about how to add separate keyboard layouts in system folders (say /usr/share/X11/xkb) are also welcome so I can create a separate package which doesn't clash with xkeyboard-config. Thanks.
PS. I know xmodmap-based methods, but I prefer an original layout which can be loaded and unloaded with setxkbmap.

Is there a way to create a project with custom audio settings that are NOT only "Stereo" or "Surround"?

Thanks!

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

Problem with Mail and customized keyboard layout

I have created a customized keyboard layout in XML, it loads and works perfectly with all applications except Apple Mail. I noticed on a googlegroup that somebody has the same problem. How can I submit this Mail bug to Apple?

download and run Find Any File to search for "Antidote".
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. Any file you find will be in the search results window and can be dragged to the Desktop and then to the Trash bin.

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working In Layer Style / Blending Options Dialogue Box (Mac OS 10.6.8)

In the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, my custom Keyboard Shortcuts to zoom in and out of the image is no longer working. Cmd+opt+shift+1 acts as cmd+1 (jumps to Drop Shadow), and cmd+opt+shift+0 acts as cmd+0 (jumps to Stroke). Outside of this box the commands seem to be working fine.
Example 1: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+1.
Result 1: The dialogue box shift focus to the Drop Shadow Options instead of the image zooming in to 100%.
Expected Result 1: The image should zoom to 100%.
Example 2: Create a new RGB document, cmd+j the background layer, double-click this layer to open the Layer Style / Blending Options dialogue box, mash Cmd+opt+shift+0.
Result 2: The dialogue box shift focus to the Stroke Options instead of the image zooming to “Fit on Screen”.
Expected Result 2: The image should zoom to “Fit on Screen”.
This same thing happened in the CS5 Beta, and it was quickly fixed, so I hope this is not a complicated issue.
Thanks, and keep up the wonderful work!

How can I get Final Cut 7 to remember my customized keyboard layout?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community, my name is Flavio, from Argentina.
I'm on a Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2, using Final Cut 7 and I'm using a customized keyboard layout (1 for zoom in, 2 for zoom out), but everytime I launch the application I have to go to Tools>Keyboard Layout to change it, is there a way to tel the ap to launch that layout almays?
Thanks!

It works for me without doing anything special. You might try deleting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If that doesn't solve it, describe exactly what your doing to customize the keyboard.
I assume if you do a "save keyboard layout" from the tools menu: keyboard layout after customizing the keyboard and then load keyboard layout after relaunching fcp, that at least works.

Can no longer change bit rate in AAC custom import settings

I've been re-ripping all my CDs at the new higher bit rate. My import settings were AAC Encoder -- custom, originally set to 256 kbps, VBR, and auto for the other two settings. However, some CDs I wanted at a lower setting, so I would go change the bit rate to either 192 or 224 (just so I'd have more room on my ipod) and there wouldn't be a problem. But now it's stuck -- the pop-up box no longer opens when I choose import settings, AAC Encoder, Custom, so I can't change the bit rate or anything else, and it's stuck on 224 kbps. I can still change bit rate and other settings in the custom menus for MP3, WAV, etc., just not AAC. A repair install of iTunes did not fix the problem.

Hi, Ed. I am running iTunes 9.0.3.15. When I click custom, the settings description in the details box display what they were before this thing happened = 112 kbps (mono)/224 kbps (stereo), VBR, optimized for MMX/SSE2. The pop-up dialogue box that used to appear (where you could choose the specific bit rate from the drop down menu) does not appear at all.
However, when I choose anything other than AAC Encoder, and then pick custom, the pop-up box appears and I can choose the bit rate and adjust the other settings as usual. It's just not happening for AAC Encoder anymore. Since the total un-install (following Apple's specified order) and reinstall didn't work, I'm baffled how to fix this .... (If it makes a difference, I changed the bit rate in the custom box while a CD was being burned...Apparently that was stupid, but I had done it previously without incident.) Thanks.

Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
(iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)

Custom keyboard shortcuts and editing multiple layers in Flash CS4

Hi, all -
CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worry about future animations that might be more complex.
Similarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
Any and all help would be appreciated as I muddle through this. Honestly, guys, I WANT to like the new version and there's so many added features, but it's hampering my workflow so bad I want to pummel it with sticks.

Hey there,
I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog. Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for? Just curious in case I can help.
Jen.
