Pause Video Keyboard Shortcut While Using Word

I am curious if there is a way to pause a video playing on the internet while using word.
I am watching a prerecorded lecture on Safari and taking notes in Word. It is incredibly annoying having to switch back and forth to pause the video so I can copy down what the professor says.
It would be a huge help if I could simply hit "Command or Option Whatever" and simply pause the video without leaving Word. Perhaps modifying the F8 key (a pause button that tries to open iTunes when I hit it)?
I really appreciate any help the community can lend. Thank you in advance.

I think the problem here is focus. The default keystroke for iTunes to play/pause will not be captured by the application unless you have the focus on iTunes.
I have no idea how you are used to working, but if you are just taking some notes at first, can you not resize Word and place it next to the video playback window? Or perhaps if Word resizing is too difficult, use a smaller text editor to do the same, than cut and paste into your word document, post-note taking, to format, etc?
Other than that, I don't know how to make custom shortcuts/key-assignments to create a work-around. Sorry.

Keyboard Shortcuts in use?

Anyone know of a way, please, to detect which Keyboard Shortcuts are used by which applications and/or the OS at any one time: I have a conflict?
TIA!

Thanks, Linc; what I really need, though, is a way to see all the possible shortcuts used by all applications.
I am using Sibelius 6; it uses Cmnd-SHIFT-B (to create a new bar); but that shortcut isn't working.
I imagined such shortcuts were specific to the application. But it's been suggested to me that there's another application that's contending for Cmnd-SHIFT-B.
I have Send file to BlueTooth Device unchecked.
Hence my need to see which shortcuts all applications are using.
Your help appreciated!

Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts to use on a wireless keyboard without a numeric pad?

Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts to use on a wireless keyboard without a numeric pad? What I'm missing most is the Page Up/Page Down and Begin/End functions, but a reference list for all available functions would be nice.

Yup. Best $11 you can spend:

Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

Hi,
My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
Thanks!

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

How do I customize Firefox keyboard shortcuts without using an add-on?

I want to modify shortcuts '''without using add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins'''. In other words, I would like to know how to modify a keyboard shortcut in a way that does '''not '''involve installing a plug-in, extension, or add-on. So, an answer that states that I should install this extension, or that plug-in is a useless answer and will be rated unhelpful as will indicate that you didn't read the question.
Again: How do I modify a keyboard shortcut '''WITHOUT '''installing any add-ons? For example, how would I change the homepage shortcut from Alt+Home to something else, without installing any add-ons?

I actually made this happen a few versions back, but I don't remember how I did it. I have looked through the about:config entries and can't find it. I looked through the ...xul keybindings and did not find it. I know it can (or recently could) be done, but I don't remember how.
The problem with the existing shortcut is that on a laptop, the Home button is frequently sharing space with another key. It is a hassle to have to access Home and the alt key when accessing Home is itself an operation.
The problem with add-ons is that I cannot, in a reasonably quick momentary glance, determine their safety now, nor in the future as they are updated. Since Mozilla does not certify add-ons as safe, I prefer to avoid them.
Other programs don't present such difficulties with simple things like modifying shortcuts. It's pretty standard for that to be accessible from a Customize submenu in one of the main drop-downs.

While using word, the computer started quickly deleting content line by line. What caused it?

What would cause my MacBookPro to start deleting text letter by letter, line by line while in Word? I couldn't use the cursor to stop the deletions.

I can imagine three scenarios.
If using an external mouse, one of the buttons could be stuck.
If using the internal trackpad, is it clicking properly (can also get stuck in a down position)?
Finally, you may have triggered a Sticky Key if you have that feature enabled in System Preferences / Universal Access / Keyboard.

Keyboard shortcut for using the color picker in another application

Hi, I'm new here. My first post.
I remember there were a keyboard shortcut in Ps for using the color picker in another application. For example picking a color in a web browser. I just don't remember the keyboard shortcut. Anyone know it?
Regards,
Leif

Thanks! This was the method I was looking for. Unfortunately it doesn't work when I drag the eyedropper to a browser window on a secondary monitor. Maybe it has to do with my setup, Mac/Mavericks and Ps CC 2014. Anyway thanks for your help, you gave me the answer I was looking for.

Keyboard shortcut for "Use grayscale" ?

In my workflow I need to turn on and off greyscale a lot. Does anybody know a keyboard shortcut to do that?
Going to System Preferences > Universal Access > and click "Use grayscale" is a bit annoying.
I know there's a shortcut for "Switch to black-on-white", so why not for "Use grayscale" ?
Thanks in advance for any hints.

I think, the only way to add a shortcut for "Use grayscale" is to create an Applescript, that will be launched by a 3rd Party Hotkey-Manager application like Butler, Quicksilver or others.
Because you can´t script the "Universal Access" pane directly, you have to realize it with a special kind of Applescript, called UI-Scripting.
So first of all, if you will give it a try, open "Universal Access" and "enable access for assistive devices". This will be necessary to make UI-Scripting work!
I do not know the correct Applescript terminology, but this will work:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
reveal first anchor of pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke space
end tell
end tell
quit
end tell
Most of this 3rd Party apps like Butler can run this Applescript directly.
Or open the script in ScriptEditor.app and save it as an application(-bundle). Drag this application then to your dock and run it from there.

Yoga 2 Pro: keyboard locking while using a browser

I have been having a very frustrating problem with my Yoga Pro 2 13. It started with keyboard and mousepad input blocking while using a browser (any browser, I tried them all), while the touch screen still worked. I would have to restart the computer to get them back to work, however, the computer would get stuck restarting (as in restart screen with the circle would circle endlessly). When I started getting BSOD, followed with the failure to boot, I sent the computer for repair. The hard disk, motherboard and keyboard were replaced, windows 8 reinstalled.,, post has to be continued belowAfter 24 hours of use, the problem reocurred (keyboard started blocking, BSOD appeared, it did not boot) and the computer was sent, yet again. This time only hard drive was replaced. I received it yesterday, updated to windows 10, and, as I feared, the same problem persists. The keyboard has blocked several times, I was not able to restart unless I was doing the power button shut off. Touch screen input is never affected during these episodes. I am extremely frustrated with the problem, and with the failure of Lenovo to fix it (even though they believe it was fixed). I can't keep sending it to the depot every 7 days, and not being able to use it in between. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach this problem? Thank you

All Keyboard shortcuts in using JDEV

Hi,
I didnot find any document on Internet that contains all the keyboard shortcuts using JDeveloper.
Some of them can be seen in the JDev menu's themself but not all, like "the keyboard shortcut for matching flower braces".
So, please, if somebody have compiled them, please send me or post it here.
Thanks,

Hi,
in JDeveloper, go to Tools--> Preferences-->Accelerators for a list of commands and associated keyboard shortcuts. Note that not all commands have keyboard shortcuts defined by default, but you can assign new ones.

My screen is crack, are there keyboard shortcuts to use S-Video

Good afternoon all,
I am a novice with Macs. Unfortunately, due to my own carelessness, my display is destroyed. I don't have the ability to see more than the top left corner of the screen.
I have the S-Video - VGA adapter cord. However, I don't have the ability to change the settings on my computer b/c I can't see the screen. Is there a shortcut or keyboard process that could guide me through changing those settings?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi, proto, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You will need the use of a second computer monitor, at least temporarily, and a USB keyboard and mouse. The following procedure may work using a TV set connected via S-Video, but I'm not certain of that, so I suggest using a real monitor instead, at least to verify the that Powerbook is still capable of operating in display-closed mode when wired to a conventional monitor.
Follow the instructions in this article to operate the computer in display-closed mode.
If it works, give the same procedure a try using your TV set and connecting it via S-Video. If that isn't successful, I suspect it's because of the S-Video connection, and you'll probably have to use a regular computer monitor instead.

HT1338 While using Word or reading a PDF from a downloaded file, my computer falls "asleep" - backlight fades in and out. I tried adjusting energy saver but it didn't help.

My backlight dims as if sleeping while I am using my laptop, typing in word, reading a PDF, as I am typing right now. I tap on the light button to restore but it only temporarily does so. I have tried "energy saver" but have not been able to wake it up. Otherwise, it responds.

Reset the SMC.

Problems synchronizing video and audio while using FME 2.5

Hello...
I use FME2.5 to deliver media to justin´s server for
broadcasting on the internet...
As capture video I use webcammax to capture video from files
avi and divx...
But somehow since I started using FME2.5 sonme videos are
perfectly sinchronized while streaming but others no...the audio is
not sunchronized at all...
I stream the media on justin in H.264 at a bit rate of
300kbps 25fps and 320x240 for video...
and audio mp3...
Is taht a way to synchronize it?
And do adobe have a complete solution of capturing video
files and streaming it to justin server?...
Thanks...

I too encounter similar kind of problem, but i am using Sony
HD handy cam which captures HD video and FME 3.5 for encoding, i
tried out both medium and high bandwidth options in it (FME 3.5),
vp6 and H.264 and i found vp6 was more ok in light of lip sync (AV
synchronizing) but there was problem with H.264 in both high and
medium settings..so is there any option to get synch with H.264 on
FME 3.5..???

Can you create markers that pause video on a DVD using DVD studio Pro?

I basically want to put video into DVD Studio Pro and add chapter markers that will pause the video at specific times. Is there an easy way to do this in DVD Studio - I tried some things but it never seems to be consistant. Sometimes it will pause the DVD at the correct point and other times it will not. Whatever help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I am not used to using DVD Studio, but have used the other pro apps for a long time. Thanks.

I tried that and found that it only worked some of the time - does anyone know if that is a common issue or if there is a special way to do this to make it work? Thanks for all the help.

Has anyone used a touch screen monitor with scxi.I am having video lock ups while using LV and MAX

I have a PCI-MIO-16XE-50 daq card (dev1) connected to a scxi-1000 chassis address 0 ID 1, with a scxi-1102,1163,1163,1162 slots 1,2,3,4 respectively.Cable is connected to daq card to 1102 card .Micro touch screen is used on com2. Have tried other serial ports 1,5. Touch screen works fine with windows until LabView and max is installed .Video lockups,Max failures occur.MAX seems to confict with touch screen.

Max is the NI interface for all the drivers. It may be a specific driver that is causing problems, perhaps NI-VISA. I would try installing things one piece at a time. Might want to start by uninstalling everything so that you start with a clean system. First install LabVIEW with no drivers at all. See if the Micro touch screen still works. Then try installing NI-DAQ. Install each of the drivers you need one at a time. If you don't need something, leave it out.
