PS Action Shortcut Keys Stopped Working

I have saved my actions with each having a shortcut key to tasks I do everyday. For no apparent reason I started PS and when I click on the shortcut keys (ex. shift+F3) instead of the assigned task it starts an unrelated task like new layer menu pops up or it desaturates the image. However when I go to the actions menu and select the task and push play it works fine. Only the shortcut keys seem to be mixed up. Does anyone know what has happened or what I can do to fix this problem?

Its gone back to the default F key shortcuts Gina.
The cause can be one of two things. Either you have deleted or diasabled your Actions (its possible to disable them by unchecking them in the Actions panel) - OR your Operating system has been set in some way to override the F keys. Unfortunately I'm not a windows user, but a similar thing happens on Mac. There will be a control panel somewhere on your machne that allows you to assign these shortcuts.

  • Utorrent shortcut keys stopped working

    All the key shortcuts under the 'File' Menu from uTorrent (run under wine) stopped working.
    ctrl+o , ctrl+d, ctrl+u and ctrl+n . All the other keyboard shortcuts from the other dropdown menus work; like ctrl+p, ctrl+r, ctrl+g . This problem started about a week ago, I did not change any settings to disable these keys.

    There's a new version of Wine every few weeks. If you updated it recently, that's probably the cause.
    Anyways, I agree with smakked. The latest version of Deluge has advanced RSS capabilties... so there really is no reason to use uTorrent. There's a billion other clients too, just do a package search for "torrent."

  • Multicamera keyboard shortcut keys stopped working

    PP 2014.0.1 release.
    My keyboard shortcut keys (standard: 0,1,2) were working, but they stopped working mid-edit. Restarting the application did not fix this. Mouse works - but what a crappy way to select a camera.
    Any suggestions?

    To answer my own question:
    I discovered that the Multicamera track in the timeline must be targeted (enabled in the track header in the timeline) or the keyboard shortcuts to select a camera do not work. (I don't know how my track became untargeted, but it did.)
    Although I understand how a keyboard shortcut will change the current clip in the multicamera sequence to the associated camera, the keyboard shortcut is strongly associated as input to the multicamera window, not the timeline. After all, I click on a camera view in the Multicamera program monitor to select that camera. I don't click in the timeline to do that. So It's not at all obvious that the multicamera track must be targeted for camera selection to work.
    I find it confusing.
    Do other users consider this a bug or good design?

  • Certain action shortcut keys not working

    In my Captivate 5.5 training simulation, I want users to click Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. I've tried inserting a transparent click box and setting the shortcut to Ctrl+C. On success is set to go to the next slide.
    When I preview the training and I press Ctrl+C on my keyboard, nothing happens. I don't get the fail message and the slide doesn't advance.
    If I set the shortcut to something else, like Ctrl+L, it works fine. I'm guessing that certain Windows keyboard combinations are not allowed as shortcuts? Is there a way around this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Like you said, it is not working when you keep a shortcut, which is same as a Windwos Default shortcut for certain action, even the Cp User Guide does not recommend to have a conflicting Shortcut --
    "Note:  If your Adobe Captivate project is displayed in a browser, set keyboard shortcuts that do not conflict with common browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortc"ut to display Help. The Control, Alt, and Shift keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively."
    When such a conflict arises in project shortcut to System Shortcut, the System shortcut takes precendence and it overrides the project shortcut.
    Thanks!

  • CS5 action shortcut keys not working in Lion

    I've just reinstalled CS5 on my new mac which is running Lion - all seems to be running smoothly so far, but when I use the F keys which have assigned actions, it defaults to the OS defined action for that key (eg: F1 adjusts the monitor brightness etc).
    My old mac used a generic keyboard as my Mac one died a painful soft-drink related death, so this may not be specific to Lion - is there a way for Photoshop to override the base action for that key? I've tried combinations of modifier keys with the function key with no success. Any ideas?

    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
    Have you checked if you can deactivate the conflicting shortcuts under Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts?

  • Windows 7 ESC key stopped working

    I've got a fully patched Windows 7 Professional Desktop computer that I've been using for over 2 years.  Yesterday my ESC key stopped working, which I first noticed when using Outlook and tried to close an open email window.  I checked the keyboard
    by moving it to another Windows 7 computer - works great.  I also noticed that other keyboard shortcuts that utilize the ESC key still work, like for example pressing Ctrl / ESC brings up the Start menu.  The problem is limited to functions that
    operate off the ESC only - like closing an open email in Outlook or closing an open photograph on Facebook.
    I downloaded a keyboard testing app that shows the key not working.  But when I install this program on another computer and move the suspect keyboard - the program shows that it does in fact work.
    I suspect something is wrong at a registry level - some entry has hijacked the key mapping.  I've spent several hours on Google looking at various suggestions - all to no avail.  I've tried updating drivers as a last resort - no change.  Remember,
    the ESC does work when used in a sequence involving multiple buttons.  Any suggestions?

    I've encountered a similar situation regularly: my Esc key just quits working in mid session, and I always forget what the cause/fix is. 
    I have this same keyboard for over 8 years now, and it always works fine, so no, it's not a hardware issue - these issues typically never are. Rebooting the PC always solves the issue, but rebooting a dev workstation, with a gazillion apps open is a PITA.
    Turns out in my case it's always Photoshop CS2 that 'kills' my Escape key; as soon as I close Photoshop, the Esc key functions normally again.
    Another issue I get is the Ctrl/Shift/Alt keys sometimes quit working; again, a reboot always fixes the issue, but rebooting is always a last recourse. Usually I just mash the Caps Lock/Ctrl/Shift/Alt; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I need
    to reboot...

  • Function keys stop working

    For a while now, I've been encountering a problem where functions keys stop working. Pressing F8 (for spaces) or F12 (for widgets) will simply yield a "bonk".
    Another symptom is that processes which open on a desktop other than the current one will fail to open because the desktop seems reluctant to switch.
    I know other people have experienced similar problems because there is a post about spaces' keyboard shortcuts not working. The issue has not been resolved for many many weeks now.
    I use a logitech wireless keyboard and trackball (with the logitech control application installed)
    Sometimes this error will occur immediately after booting up. Sometimes it will go for days working fine. I consistently have 4 applications running:
    - iTunes
    - Thunderbird
    - Firefox
    - Adium
    The other most common apps I run are:
    - Quicktime
    - Aperture
    - iMovie
    - Preview
    Yet Another symptom of the problem is that the machine will refuse to shut down or restart. If I kill every "windowed" process in Activity Monitor, the machine will STILL fail to shut down. Ultimately, I have to do a 5-second hard power-down.
    Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I am running into the same issue
    I use a Logitech Wireless Mouse.
    The switch Spaces keys, F9/F10/F11 for Expose are not working either, the Mute/F10 Vol Up, Vol Down F11 and F12 work as does the Eject button.
    F18 Show Dashboard or F4 Show Dashboard don't work either.

  • Some keys stopped working for one user account

    Dear all,
    since a while (I can't say since when exactly) some of the keys stopped working: left control, left shift, and the tab key. In the beginning the caps lock didn't work as well, but it was my own setting. All other then the three listed work OK. As described in some KB articles I checked all settings for universal access, localisation, keyboard, mouse, and keyboard-shortcuts (all standard). I completely disassembled the keyboard (aprox. 50 screws!) cleaned it and checked the connections between the keys on the printed circuit. Everything looks good. Then my wife told me that she does not have the problem and indeed, in other user accounts it is all working OK. It means that it should be a setup problem in my profile. The keyboard viewer is showing every activated (pressed) key, but not the three that are not working - which is only consequent. When I disable the caps-lock then the keyboard viewer doesn't show this key being pressed either. My conclusion is that there must be a keyboard filter below the application level. Now I'm stuck.
    Help appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Kurt.

    Yup, odds were against me choosing the right item on the first go
    Log back into your problem account.
    Here's the whole litany for thoroughly checking your home folder. It's not as daunting as it looks.
    1. Go to Users/yourname//Library/Fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    ( Likely suspects are Times RO, Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.) If not, put your Fonts folder back.
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
    • Go to ~(YourHome/Library/Preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
    ** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
    You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
    3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
    • Navigate to YourHome/Library.
    • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
    • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
    • Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
    • Click on "apply to all"
    • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
    (Note:The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.)
    4. Navigate to YourHome/Library/Caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

  • Launchpad key stop working?

    The launchpad key stop working on my macbook pro 2011 and i have tryed every thing and the only thing that work if i push the fn button and F4 so i just want the launchpad key to work again with out the fn key please if some body could help me..........

    Hi.
    Re. " The command does not delete any of your specific keyboard shortcuts you have defined. "
    Umm, sure it does. This unix command deletes the preferences file that tracks all of the keyboard changes that you make.
    So, write down (snapshot) any/all functions so that you can re-assign them.

    Ps:  The only exception to this are any "Application Shortcuts" hot keys.

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

  • My return and shift key stopping working

    my return and shift key stopping working. It wont go to the next line or function as an enter.
    Now, most of the time it wont do anything but if you push it several times it will type a 0p or /- or control volume the instead. I checked the keyboard setting and voicecontrol and reset it to default and updated software for system but no resolve. How do I fix this?

    Hi -- I have this problem too. I cleaned out the keyboard, did an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, and also followed the steps I could follow from this article, linked to in the answer to another question:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
    no luck with any of it. Could we please have some advice targetted at the specific problem of nonfunctional shift and return keys on a MacBook Air?
    In the meantime I'm using only the left-side shift and have downloaded and installed KeyRemap4MacBook and remapped my backslash key so it issues the "return" command. A clunky work around but it seems to do the trick, at least.

  • My "9-o-l-." keys stop working after startup, and spreading! ahh help?

    My "9-O-L-." keys stop working after startup and my arrow keys too.
    Sometimes when I start up the keys will work for a bit then one by one stop functioning and then randomly work every so often, then it seems to "spread" to the right shift key, and sometimes the "8-I-K-," keys.
    Around the same time when this all began my Battery completely stopped working too, does this have anything to do with it? I've reset my PRAM and no luck.
    I'm planning on replacing the keyboard, will that fix the problem? or is it something deeper?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Andrew

    I assume you've rebooted? Can you control the computer well enough to make a new account and log into it? Doubt this will fix it but maybe. The keyboard may need replacing but it might also be that the cable has worked loose so that some of the wires have disconnected but not all. Sounds like a trip or call to Apple is in order.
