Programmable Keyboard shortcuts

This would save me so much time.  I wish you could assign Fkeys to develop module presets.  I also love the + and - keys for exposure. I know you can toggle through all the different sliders but by the time you have done that you may as well use the mouse.  I would love plus and minus key for all the main sliders (exposure, fill light, black point).  Could we use the numeric keypad or customize some function keys.   Better yet just make the whole keyboard shortcut system programmable like photoshop.  I know you can use the mac OS to change certain keyboard shortcuts which I do but it doesn't always work that well and doesn't have access to things like develop shortcuts.  These things would save me so many hours of my life.

The suggestion to look on the Adobe site lead to the solution. This is the best answer from Adobe:
Solution 1: Bypass the keys' default OS-level commands.
Note: Use this solution only if your keyboard has a key labeled Fn.
To make Mac OS interpret F1, F2, and so forth as function keys instead of as OS-level command keys, hold down the Fn key when you press a function key. For example, in an Adobe application that uses F1 as a keyboard shortcut, hold down Fn and press F1.
You can also make Mac OS interpret F1, F2, and so forth as function keys by default. (If you do so, then you can still perform those keys' OS-level commands by holding the Fn key when you press them.) If you want to make this change, then do the following:
1. Choose Apple Menu > System Preferences.
2. Click Keyboard & Mouse.
3. Click the Keyboard tab.
4. Select the option Use All F1, F2, Etc. Keys As Standard Function Keys.
5. Quit System Preferences.

  • Keyboard shortcuts to select develop sliders

    For those people who like to minimize their mouse kilometers, it would be useful to have keyboard shortcuts to *select* individual sliders in the develop module. [See also the specific request for an exposure shortcut that recently came up in this thread:
    shawnmoore, "What is the Lightroom keyboard shortcut for Exposure?" #, 27 Aug 2007 9:10 pm ]
    Keyboard shortcuts for individual sliders would be particularly convenient for people using programmable controllers (i.e. the Contour Design Shuttle). You could assign the shortcut to a programmable key (on button for 'exposure', for example) and then use the shuttle/scroll wheel to adjust the corresponding value.
    Now, I realize that Lightroom is quickly running out of available shortcut keys, so I suggest to couple them to the active panel. Currently, ctrl+[number] (on Windows) selects the n-th panel on the panel set on the right hand side, i.e. ctrl+1 -> basic, ctrl+2 -> tone curve. My proposal would be to use ctrl+F[number] to select the n-th slider (or other control) *within* that panel. Then, the up/down arrows could be used to adjust the values.
    Any opinions?

    **Update: I will try and re-write this to inject the shift-up/down instead of using mouse movements **<br /><br />Here's a quick hack to do the same for Windows using www.AutoHotKey.com  I would like it if LR would add exposure, fill, black, as nudge shortcuts so that I can reprogram my Logitech G15 to call the same.<br /><br />NOTE: This can go very weird if you computer speed is different to mine.

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working sometimes

    iPad Air with iOS 8.1
    periodically my keyboard shortcuts stop working. I can't seem to come up with a method of getting them to work again. It seems though that eventually they will work. Does anyone else who experiences this problem have a solution?
    I've tried
    resetting the iPad and

    Adding some new info...
    It's a syncing issue with iCloud "Dictionaries" which is a hidden folder in the iCloud Drive folder. If you're a dev or comfortable using Terminal, the following command will place a "real iCloud drive" folder on your desktop which will allow you to see ALL the items in iCloud Drive. Inside this folder is the folder called "Settings" and then "Dictionaries". You can then see other nested folders from each device ID (Macs, iOS) that write to iCloud.
    This is not a fix but here's the steps to view those:
    1) In terminal:
    ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/ ~/Desktop/Real\ iCloud\ Drive
    2) You will now have an alias on your desktop to the iCloud Folder (you must choose to view it in a Finder window as list view)
    Drill down until you find a file with the extension .cdt
    3) Duplicate that file onto your desktop and CHANGE the extension to .zip and unzip it.
    4) ADD the extension .plist to the end of the UNIX file that was unzipped and then you can view it in text edit app and see the shortcuts info.
    Again, not fixing anything, but trying to narrow it down and hope that some developer/programmer out there with better knowledge than mine can help!
    Just a reminder to everyone to report the issue to Apple and go to Genius Bar if you have the time and call Apple Support:

  • Any plugin to create keyboard shortcuts?

    Is there a plug-in that will let you create new keyboard shortcuts?
    For example, I'd like a keyboard shortcut to quickly open the bookmarks pane. (Ctrl+B opens the bookmark pane, but it also creates a new bookmark at the same time, which I don't appreciate.) 

    Test Screen Name wrote:
    Actually, no. I don't think the original poster is a programmer wanting to create a plug-in. I think he or she wants to buy one. Sorry never heard of one.
    Test Screen Name is correct. I'm not a programmer. I'm looking to buy a plug-in if there is one.

  • Keyboard shortcut/workflow issues

    Just wondering if anybody was having this problem or could maybe say what I'm doing wrong.
    1. One of the keyboard shortcuts says: "discard last take and return to start position" which for me is cmd+period (.) . One time it did this, but now it just returns me to the starting position without discarding anything. Am I doing something wrong?
    2. Is there a way to pre-roll playback? I was pro-toolin' it the other day and it suddenly dawned on me that I don't think Logic can do this...
    3. I have a keyboard short cut that used to toggle the crossfade tool. After one of the updates a while back, it no longer toggles, but rather turns the crossfade tool on, but not off if I hit the short cut again.
    Any help?

    Many people having many issues with keyboard shortcuts... I have experienced all the issues and tried to get help at Genius Bar and AppleCare, but they don't know how to fix it. I hoped it would be fixed with iOS 8.1.1 and OS 10.10.1 but it's not...

  • Keyboard shortcut for exporting files is inop.

    Using 5.5 and a programmable mouse.  All of a sudden I'm getting a tiny sound when I hit the mouse button to export out of the export window...that's it.  Tried the keyboard shortcut and same problem.  Shut down and restarted..all of that...went thru the settings for the mouse and they are OK...sheesh...

    ...to clarify: the file will not export unless I hit the "export" button in the export window.  Only the "tink" sound happens if I try to use my dedicated mouse button OR the proper keyboard shortcut.

  • Option-Letter Combinations Won't Work in Keyboard Shortcuts

    In order to set what my hands and my Avant Stellar programmable keyboard are used to, I need to change the edit keystroke combinations from Command-X (Cut), Command-C (Copy), etc., to Option-X, Option-C, etc.
    But I can't get Keyboard Shortcuts to work with Option-letter combinations. The proper combination shows up in the Keyboard Shortcuts screen and even in the Pages menu, but the keystroke combinations don't work. Instead of the requested menu action, I get what looks like an "approximately equals" sign (for Option-X), a letter from a foreign alphabet (for Option-C) or the beginning of a square root sign (for Option-V).
    The Keyboard Shortcuts screen shows no warning of a conflict, and none of the default Keyboard Shortcuts seems to use these precise keystroke combinations.
    Does Keyboard Shortcuts not support Option-letter combinations? I've got it to work with several other keystroke combinations, so I don't think I'm missing anything basic. But I can't find anything in Apple Help, this Website or on Google saying that Option-letter combinations are verboten.
    I was trying to set up Keyboard Shortcuts in a restricted account, which I use for daily work for security reasons, but I also tried the same things in an administrative account and got the same results. It shouldn't make any difference, should it? I also tried both left and right Alt keys (the equivalent of Option on my keyboard), with no difference.
    Any ideas, anyone?

    Thanks for the quick reply. On second thought, I don't think Ukelele will do what I want.
    The problem is not switching or reprogramming keys. My present keyboard (an Avant Stellar) is fully programmable. It can even double the same output on two or more keys.
    My problem is Apple's keyboard shortcuts. The right and left word navigation and selection functions, which I use thousands of times a day for navigating text, are welded to the Option key. So are Apple's (inflexible) special character keys. So if I program my keyboard to put the much-used navigation/selection functions under the same keystroke combinations I've been using for twenty years, many of my other usual keystroke combos become useless (they give me unwanted characters).
    There is a solution, however: OpenOffice. I recently discovered that the slightly dumbed-down version that comes with Ubuntu Linux Netbook (which I installed on my Acer Aspire One) has a much more flexible keyboard shortcut feature than OS X, plus a macro capability. In less than an hour, I had my Acer keyboard configured closely enough to my habitual board for normal use. I then downloaded OpenOffice 3.1.1 on my Mini, and in another twenty minutes had both its and the Acer's keyboards configured as identically as the Acer's hardware permits.
    So OpenOffice, not Apple, may have saved me the ignominy (and frustration) of continuing to use M/S Word, which I've wanted to jettison ever since I switched to Macs in 2003 and had to abandon WordPerfect.
    Oracle, which just acquired Sun, swears on its Website that it will continue supporting OpenOffice (which Sun developed to poke M/S). Time will tell. Meanwhile, I've got OpenOffice, Pages and Word running in my working account, and I suspect I'll be using Open Office from now on for most serious writing. I like Apple's intuitive presentation of formulas in Numbers (its spreadsheet program), but Pages is for multimedia, multitasking Millennials, not serious writers.

  • Keyboard shortcuts and You Control

    I've just transferred my data to a new iMac from my old dual G4. The first time I did it there was chaos. Suspecting You Control/You Control desktops might be implicated I did a clean reinstall without them and everything's working fine. But I hate not having those programmes to lean on. So I tried setting Apple's keyboard shortcuts to replace my You Control hot keys. They don't work. When I press the shortcut keys I've chosen nothing happens. I've searched the HELP menu and got no help at all. As far as I can tell I've done everything right. My shortcuts are listed below all the Apple ones. I've killed any that conflict with mine so there are no yellow triangles warning me of conflicts. Can somebody tell me where I've gone wrong? And while we're on the subject, is anybody else having problems with You software in 10.5.2 or 10.5.3?

    Thank you for answering my question. One more question: Why is there a + and a - sign down the bottom, and why was I encouraged to go through the rigmarole I went through if it led nowhere? When I hit the + I was given a series of tasks to perform. Why was I doing that when it achieved nothing? Or did it achieve something that I still don't know about?
    Anyway I've bitten the bullet and reinstalled You Control and it's working perfectly. Incidentally, some time ago I asked again and again if anybody could explain to me how I got an extra clock in my menu bar, a clock that had a pull-down menu showing me the time in several cities I'm not interested in, my iCal calendar for the next 3 months and the current date. Nobody could come up with an answer but now I know. It's You Control, which offers this useful clock. Now that I know where it's coming from I can set it up with cities I am interested in. Thanks to everyone who scratched their heads on my behalf. Scratch no more!

  • I can no longer do keyboard shortcuts since latest update.

    I am running Firefox 34.0.5 on a Windows 7 computer. Firefox updated the other day and I can no longer use my Edit keyboard shortcuts. (ie CTRL V etc) I read an article telling how to correct this with a Mac computer, how do you do it with a Windows computer?

    Firefox 35 was released yesterday. Please use Help > About Firefox and run a Check for Updates to get the latest version. Then see if that issue is resolved.

  • Suggestion for a New Keyboard Shortcut

    I'd like to suggest a way of increasing the efficiency of editing captions and other metadata in Aperture by adding a keyboard shortcut that always serves to move to the next image in the viewer. For example, Command-Shift-] (or something) to move to the next image in the library. Right now, I think only arrows move to the next image, but that doesn't work if you are editing in a text box, so you have to use the mouse or trackpad.

  • After iOS 8 upgrade keyboard shortcuts gone, just reboot

    FYI,
    apparently this also happened with the ios7 upgrade. Per the related ios7 thread, after a manual reboot of the phone, the shortcuts reappeared. The reboot solved my problem as my keyboard shortcut settings reappeared after reboot.

    I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
    I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
    Rebooted everything a dozen times.
    Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
    Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
    I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
    After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
    I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

  • Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...

    I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
    Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
    Thanks
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
    Hope this helps out!!

  • Problem with iPhone and iPad keyboard shortcuts

    When I try to access the keyboard shortcuts in either my iPhone 6+, iPad 3 or iPad Air, the sequence Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts causes the devices to go back to the Home Screen.  I spent several hours in a chat with Apple Support, had to go through an iTunes back up on the iPhone and restored it to "new phone" and it fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPads.  Chatted again today with Support, tried hard reset (press both buttons till Apple logo appears) on the iPad 3 and I could access the shortcuts.  Did the same on the iPad Air with no luck.
    Now, one hour after second Support chat,  none of the devices can access the shortcuts.  There must be a problem with iCloud for this to be happening on all 3 devices.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Same problem also and if I restore both the iPhone and iPad as new I
    lose a lot of progress in my games.
