Safari 6.0 search bar keyboard shortcuts?

Maybe it's because it's late...
I can't figure out to configure shortcuts in the search bar; for instance in Chromium I'd type 'w' before my search term to search in wikipedia. Is this even possible in Safari?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Safari's Google-search bar in Dutch ***?!?!

I have a Macbook pro, Lion all up tp date, and recently I discovered that when I use Safari's google search bar it uses the Dutch google (i.e. goole.nl). I haven't changed any settings.
I am in China atm, but have a UK VPN and even when I've just been connected to the Chinese server in the past, I haven't ha any problems.
I did a software update earlier (it was regarding security) and I think it somehow changed a setting. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Ok I think I figured it out myself... no need to answer

Make sure the firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
Disable anti virus sofware if installed.
If nothng above applies, try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Safari's "Email this page" keyboard shortcut opens second Mail.app

Hello,
First of all, neither the Safari toolbar button nor the File > Share > Email this page work at all. Both do nothing. Quitting Safari & Mail has no effect.
HOWEVER
The keyboard shortcut (command + shift + I) does work, but it opens another instance of Mail.app. There is only one version on my mac.
Any thoughts on that? I can't seem to find anybody else with such wierd behavior.

Try resetting the LaunchServices database.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Copy or drag — don't type — the text below into the Terminal window:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain user
That's all one line, though it will scroll on this page. Triple-click anywhere in the text to select it all.
Press return. Log out, then log back in.

Search google keyboard shortcut conflicts with pages

The apple system preference, keyboard, indicates that shift-command-L will search google is safari. However, in pages, that command displays layout. Search in google does work using the services menu option in pages.
Is there a way to change or resolve the keyboard shortcut for search google to work?
thanks
bob

Just realized you can click on the shortcut in system preferences and change the keyboard short cut.
thanks

Two major bugs in Lion - Zoom and Safari auto fill search bar

hey there
every since I updated to Lion I've been experiencing two major bugs... zoom randomly stops working (the one where you press control and zoom in and out) even though it's set to work on the settings. Safari is also experincing a problem concerning the search bar. mine is set to google and whilst on full screen mode, it randomly stops auto filling as opposed to what happens in non full screen mode. I actually need to get off full scren mode and go back to it to make it work again. as to the zoom thing, I need to restart my computer everytime is stops working. any ideas ? thanx !!

You don't need to restart. Quit Safari or logout and back in.

Safari 6 encrypted search bar causing problems

I don't care if my search is encrypted or not, but it seems that Safari cares. I think this is new. I don't remember it being encrypted before, but maybe that's because I hadn't paid attention before my problem developed. I'm using Safari 6.1.4 on a MBP and I don't particularly remember an update lately, but this problem is new, within the last week or maybe two weeks.
The problem: when I try to use Safari's address bar/ search bar to search for a term in quotation marks— "John Doe" for instance— because I want only search results with that name, not all the instances where John and Doe happen to be on the same page—Safari switches the search to the html, written out exactly like this, no kidding: "john doe" (and then helps me with my obviously awful spelling!) and I get search results involving not just any instance of john and any instance of doe—because they're not in quotation marks anymore!!—but also the word quote, so that I get results primarily involving quotations!!! where the words I searched for are on the page.
When I click on the little https symbol, thinking this is the problem and maybe I can turn off the encryption, the popup tells me that "Safari is using an encrypted connection to search.yahoo.com" (my preferred search engine). And doesn't offer me a way to stop this. I presume this is what's causing the problem, but again I'm not positive.
The only workaround is to go to Yahoo and re-do the search on the site instead of up above, which means that cute combined address bar/ search bar is now useless for exact searches (with the quotation marks).
Is this Apple trying to protect me from myself?
Can I tell Safari to relax about it and get it to go back to working properly?
Or is this a bug? A new "feature" I don't understand? Something else entirely?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Lion Mail Search Reset keyboard shortcut

Hi,
how to reset the currect search in Mail via the keyboard?
In Evernote for instance, you can press Cmd-R to reset the currect search.
Is there an equivalent for Mail?
Thanks,
Roger

Going from 10.5 to 10.6 is not removing functionality, it is adding functionality.
Are you using 10.6.x and can't use that command to get to the search field?
If so, try checking the Keyboard Shortcuts in Keyboard System Prefs and see if you've somehow got cmd+opt-F mapped to something else.

Safari iOS 8 freezes with keyboard shortcuts on iPad

Safari with iOS 8.0.2 installed freezes if I have one keyboard shortcut with two letters and another with the same two letters followed by a third, e.g., xx and xxz. If I want the text corresponding to the latter, as soon as I try to type the z, the z on the keyboard turns gray and Safari freezes. This was not a problem with iOS 7. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPad is 3 years old. Prior to installing iOS8, it had never seized up, no matter how many tabs I'd had open. Since installing iOS8, Safari frequently freezes, no matter how many tabs I have open. In an effort to remedy this situation, I've reset my iPad several times from within Settings; I've reset my iPad several times by holding both the on/off & wake/sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple icon appears, thereby allowing the system to reboot; I've deleted numerous cookies from my iPad's memory ... and Safari continues to seize, usually while I'm in the middle of a wikia edit, though also in a Facebook post, and even in a prior Apple inquiry. Just what can I do to cease this vicious cycle? What is the solution to this iOS8 debacle?

Safari's search bar overlaps website

The top of Safari (where the search bar, all the tabs and so on is) is overlapping the webpage I'm on. This sometimes goes over the website's header.
Here is a picture of the problem on Apple's website:
This is particularly annoying for websites with search bars like Facebook and Youtube...
How do I fix this issue?

Go step by step and test.
1. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click “Remove All Website Data”.
3. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.

Keyboard shortcuts not working while mouse over title-bar

most of the time, while mouse is over the top title bar, keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T, Alt+D) are not working.
This is a strange behaviour that happens only after i migrated to linux (ubuntu 10.10)
Sometimes, after i try the shortcuts a few times, on middle of the screen also, then suddenly it works also when the mouse is on the title bar. It's pretty strange...

Well, that's not the case here.
I tried to focus on text field, and the keyboard shortcuts does work, so that's obviously not the case here.
Sometimes the address bar is selected and i can write there, but when the mouse go over the top title, it suddenly stops reacting.
And the Alt+D and Ctrl+T are not working doesn't matter if a text field is selected.
BTW, sometimes it does work, it almost seems like an intermittent problem.

How can I find and disable Page Down in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu?

I often accidentally hit Page Down because it's right beside my arrow keys. It seems to switch to the next symbol in the library which is something I never under any circumstances would want to do. How do I disable this incredibly annoying keyboard shortcut? I can't find it anywhere in the unsearchable rat's nest that is the Keyboard Shortcut menu.

Aha, thank you for drawing my attention to the export html button, it does make it possible to search those keyboard shortcuts.
In my case, View -> Go to -> Next was set to nothing. More oddly, the words "Page Down" don't appear anywhere at all in the generated file, and when I set another random command (Zoom In) to use Page Down it didn't warn of a conflict. Hitting page down zoomed in instead of switching me to another symbol, and when I cleared the shortcut from zoom in it went back to swapping between symbols. I guess I'll have to set something benign to use the page down key.
Bizarre. I guess this must be a bug in CS6?

Keyboard shortcut for filling the window?

A couple years ago I was routinely using a certain key combo which would instantly expand a PDF's pages to fill the window (rather than having to click the button in the GUI). But I've forgotten how to do it. I've searched the "keyboard shortcuts" list - in the Adobe Reader Help - but no sign of any such shortcut. I'm currently using Adobe Reader 9.4.7.
Anyone know? Thanks.
- Bob K.

Yeah, that's a good one for maximizing the whole application window. Problem is, it doesn't also stretch the document you're viewing - it leaves the document's zoom level unaffected (unless you've first used your mouse to click the "fill the window" button next to the zoom percentage field, which is what I'm trying to avoid having to do each time I call up a PDF). What I remember was a keyboard shortcut to just make the document fill the app window - without also maximizing the app window to full screen.
The good news is, I just stumbled onto the answer a few minutes ago myself, by trying different key combinations. Turns out, it's Ctrl-3. If a PDF's zoom level is currently set at, say, 50%, you can hit Ctrl-3 and the document will stretch to whatever zoom percentage will fill the app window's current size. If your Reader window is maximized and you hit Ctrl-3, your current 50% document might jump to something like 142%, whereas if the window is un-maximized, say, to about half your total screen area, the doc may only need to jump to 70.4% to fill that smaller window.
Well well. Happy joy!!
Thanks for the reply.
