Run Automator workflow using keyboard shortcut

Created a workflow to move files from one folder to another. Is there away to run the workflow using a keyboard short cut?

Save your workflow as an application, and then use Spark to launch that application with the desired keystroke.

FAQ: How do I trim in the Timeline using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC?

You can now trim with a lot more keyboard shortcuts in the Timeline in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC. See this article for details: Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.

I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!
Curiouser and curiouser...

Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6

Just wrote a new blog post about Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.
It's in the FAQ now, as well.
Check it out.

Good question. If/when it does it again, I'll check. However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5. That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout.
Something else I noticed is that my workspace is set for "Import from Project" and I'm supposing it's possible that the keyboard layout is connected to the workspace and might be either resetting it to CS6 or custom, which may or may not have had those customizations. About 25% of the projects I'm working on currently are pre-CS6, so every time I load one of those up, it might be making everything else go wonky.
In any event, I have a better idea what to look out for now. Thanks

Using keyboard shortcuts with the text tool active

How does one use keyboard shortcuts when the Text Tool is selected? For example, how do I switch to the Selection Tool when the Text Tool is active? I cannot press "V", as it simply types the letter "v" instead of switching to the Selection Tool.

Thank you!! I knew it would be an easy solution

Using keyboard shortcut to launch an application

Does anyone know any free way to launch applications via a keyboard shortcut? For example I have an automator workflow that cleans up my desktop and archives it into a folder. I'd like it to be run whenever i hit command-option-F11. Is there any way to do this in OS X's built in Keyboard Shortcuts preference pane, or do I have to get a third party application?

Hi Peter!
There is not a built in way to launch apps via keyboard shortcuts on your Mac. (At least not that I know of?)
A very popular app is Quicksilver. You can launch apps very quickly by typing in the first few letters of the name of the app. Most people that get used to it have a hard time going back...here's the link:

If you make your Automater workflow into an app then you could launch it via Quicksilver...

Captivate 6 How to validate user input without using keyboard shortcuts

I've been using Adobe Captivate 6 for about 4 months now. Completely new to the program. The number one function of Captivate for me will to create many software simulations for verifiable training. This means that I will be utilizing the training and assessment modes A LOT. I have run into many hurdles throughout the process, but one of my biggies right now is this:
In the training and assessment modes, I have times where the user must input data such as an address or number. In the actual software they will be utilizing it is not always required to use TAB or ENTER in order to move to the next field. In some instances, it will be necessary to actually click into a field after entering data. My problem is that it seems as if Captivate will not allow this, as a keyboard shortcut is automatically entered even if a TAB or ENTER is not required after input. I assume this is so that the inputted information can be verified. If you decide you do not want to use a keyboard shortcut to validate the inputted information, you must have a submit button. Is there any way to change this?? All I want is for the user to enter information and then click into another field WITHOUT having to press ENTER, TAB, or hit a submit button. Is this even possible if you need user input to be validated?? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Hello,
A while ago I explained the work flow I’m using often in that case, only for the last field you need to have either a shortcut or a submit button AND the sequence has to be imposed. The idea is that you make the Submit button for the first field transparent, delete the ‘Submit’ text and put it over the second field. So if the user clicks on the second field, he also submits the value of the first field.
Here is the blog post I’m referring to:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/one-submit-button-for-multiple-text-entry-box
Although it was written for previous versions, the idea will still be functional.

ITunes 11.2.0.114 Library Navigation no longer works by using keyboard shortcuts

In particular, when viewing my library via the "Albums" tab, I can no longer navigate to an artist simply by starting to type their corresponding letter. For example, before I updated to version 11.2.0.114 yesterday, I was able to type in the letter "s" and I would be navigated to the beginning of all the artists in my library starting with the letter "s". Likewise, if I would continue to type, "sa..." it would navigate to the corresponding artist/place in my library.
Now when I try to navigate through my library in this manner, it seems as if the letters have no meaning anymore; typing in "s" could bring me to artists in the "b" range.
I am using Windows 8. Please help if you can!
Thank you.

Exactly the same problem with me - iTunes 12.2.2, on OS X 10.9.3. It was perfect one day, then bam, the next day the keyboard shortcuts stopped working properly. It's pretty frustrating.

MSI G70, can't adjust volume in game using keyboard shortcuts

Hello! Brand new MSI laptop, so awesome. However, I am unable to adjust the volume in-game using the keyboard shortcut FN+left arrow or FN+right arrow. It works fine outside of the game. I can also adjust the brightness in the game using FN+up arrow or FN+down arrow.
The games I've tried this in so far are Skyrim and Team Fortress 2. Any suggestions?

Quote from: RX-8 on 02-March-15, 12:38:02
The game just preempts the audio control from OS and make function keys ineffective. You'll need to ask the game designer.
I don't think that can be right. I didn't have any problem adjusting the volume in these same games with my last laptop using the keyboard shortcuts.

Run Automator workflow automatically at startup?

I have a Mac Mini that I would like to have automatically run a Keynote slideshow at startup. I was able to make the workflow no problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to run on startup. Is that possible? Also, can you set up a Mac to "Autostart" after a power failure?
Basically I need this Mac mini to constantly run a Slideshow as a form of "Digital Signage" all day and be able to restart itself should it loose power for a while.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Hey
I want to do the same as Jessfyn (more to less)
I record an Application action and its working in the Automator,
but when I save it as an application and double click it from the desktop its not working and showing me this massage:
"The action 'watch Me Do' encountered an error.
Check the actions properties and try running the workflow again."
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

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

I cannot use keyboard shortcut to quit Safari after Java update

I don't seem to be able to use the quit function (cmd+q). Only if I turn off Java again. I have updated it a few minutes ago, can't see which version it is. 14?
Does anyone else have this problem?

I see it has been two months since your post with no solution. I hope you already did this...
Also, go into System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts and click the "Restore Defaults" button. See if that helps.

It's in the YOURNAME/Library/Preferences/ folder. Hopefully that fix will stick.
Note: That won't do what you think it does. See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6521022 for a (long) explanation. Force quitting the Finder after blowing away com.apple.finder.plist will do what you want.

How to use keyboard shortcut OPTION SHIFT COMMAND PLUS?

The application I am using has two keyboard shortcuts for changing the KERN of some text:
TIGHTEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + MINUS
LOOSEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + PLUS
The TIGHTEN command works fine but the LOOSEN command doesn't. If I plug in an external keyboard then it works fine as long as I use the or on the NUMPAD.
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your post. I tried your suggestion and indeed got the Excel short-cut back. It wasn't obvious as "Mission Control" and "Application Windows" are mapped to F9 and F10 (rather than the ctrl-shift-down" combo).
It's ok since I don't really have any use for shortcut launching "Mission Control" or "Application windows".
