Safari keyboard shortcuts questions

1. Often when a page loads, one has to click somewhere on the page in order to use the arrow keys to scroll up or down. Why does this happen? Is there a keyboard alternative to clicking?
2. When one wishes to type in a text field, one hits tab until the field is active and the cursor blinks there. Subsequent tabbing makes other fields on the page active. But is there a keyboard command to leave the text fields (aside from clicking) so that one can again scroll down using arrow keys or other commands? (I've found that Option-Tab, which activates buttons on the page accomplishes this, but only if there are buttons on the page.)

Clicking on a webpage makes it active.
Keyboard shortcut alternative to clicking?
Safari: Browser Window and Menu Shortcuts
When tabbing through form fields on a webpage, it depends on how the HTML in the webpage was written. Some you can tab through, others you have to use your mouse to click so the insertion bar blinks, or you use your back and forward keys.

    Hi
    Safari keyboard shortcut not working right.
    I have 6 website in favourite bookmark. When press cmd + 1 should load 1st website in favourite folder. Nothing happen. Same cmd + 2, cmd + 3 etc.
    Now cmd + 1 keep add ':)' smiley text emotion instead.
    I have reset keyboard shortcut default in System Preference Keyboard but nothing change.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Changing the safari keyboard shortcuts possible?

    So I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the shortcuts on the keyboard for Safari, specifically I would like to change the "Command-R" function which reloads the page to "F5". I have gone throught the whole keyboard shortcuts tab in system prefs (System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts) and added the safari menu command and my shortcut I wanted to add yada yada yada and nothing ever works no matter how many times I try or what I change. I am not sure whether or not the fact that I am the Apple Wireless keyboard has anything to do with this but I doubt it does. Any ideas?

    Hi
    I had to quit safari & reopen before it worked, but yes, it does work with F5.
    Did you choose Safari from the applications list in sys prefs-keyboard & mouse-keyboard shortcuts?
    then type Reload Page ( including the capital letters ) ? in the Menu Title box?
    then leave keyboard prefs?
    Let us know how you get on

  • Safari Keyboard Shortcut

    Hi,
    In System Preferences I just defined a keyboard shortcut, 'AppleOptionJ' to 'Clear History' in safari.
    However, this keyboard shortcut doesn't work unless I click on 'History' in the safari menus.
    Does anyone know how to fix it?

    Ahsan,
    Very frustrating!
    I must admit that I am grasping for straws.
    Reinstalling the 10.4.9 Combo Update is a possibility, but that seems like using a sledge hammer to eradicate a Pissant.
    Hopefully someone else may have some other ideas.
    Good Luck.
    ;~)

  • Terminal keyboard shortcut question

    Hello. I'm asking this question on behalf of a tech who works in our school. He would like to know what the keyboard shortcut on a Mac is to take you to the end of a line or the beginning of a line. (Apparently on a pc it is the home and end keys but on the Mac that takes him back to the very start of to the very end.) Sorry if this is a silly question.
    Jenny

    The standard keys to move to end of line is Ctrl-E.
    Ctrl-A will take you to the beginning of the line
    Other useful control characters include Ctrl-T (transpose two characters) and Ctrl-U (erase line)

  • Bookmarks Keyboard Shortcut Question

    Hello all.
    In Safari's bookmark menu, if you command-down arrow on a bookmark item it is opened in the same tab (or window). I'd like to change the behavior of this keyboard shortcut to make the bookmark open in a new tab.
    I have tried to set this up in the keyboard section of the system preferences, using both the command-down arrow combination as well as several other completely different combinations, but it never takes.
    If you command or right-click on a bookmark, the contextual menu shows options to either Open, Open in New Window or Open in New Tab, but they don't seem to have any keyboard shortcut associated with them (although presumably Open is command-down arrow).
    I realize I can simply command-click and the link will open in a new tab, but I'm trying to avoid using the mouse.
    Apologies if this is covered somewhere already - I tried google and then I came here and didn't find anything other than the standard method of changing keyboard shortcuts. So if anyone can help or point me to a solution (if there is one) it would be hugely appreciated.

    yeah... <enter>+H.
    no seriously, what kind of shortcut is that... what's it supposed to do? how can you really improve much on a two key shortcut.
    any more details for us?

  • Q10 Keyboard Shortcut Question/Suggestion

    I've entered several keyboard shortcuts.  One of them is a person's name that I text regularly.  The keyboard shortcut works in the body of a text, but not in the address field.  Keyboard shortcuts should work in these fields also.  I repeatedly text this person and don't want to start typing their name everytime.  I want the three letter shortcut to automatically pull up the name.  

    The available keyboard shortcuts are also listed here in this forum, but that's not the user's question..

  • Another "edit in photoshop" and keyboard shortcut question

    I have both PSCS6 32 bit and 64 bit installed on my computer (usual default installation). When I next installed LR4, it automatically picked PSCS6 64 bit as the default external editor without asking my preference.
    I always use PSCS6 32 bit and not the 64 bit version.
    While I can add the PSCS6 32 bit program as an "additional external editor" and access it from a right click contextual menu for editing an image from LR4, I cannot use the convenient Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut since that will always launch the unwanted PSCS6 64 bit program.
    Is there a way to reestablish this keyboard shortcut convenience for my 32 bit program?
    Thanks in advance!

    Scott,
    There is a registry hack you could try:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html
    That's for making PS show up when it doesn't show up at all, but there's a place to add the path to the executable that you could modify to point to the 32-bit version. You might want to do a checkpoint for System Restore before you start.

  • Wireless Keyboard shortcut question

    I've bought a new iMac several weeks ago, and I can't find out how to write the following shortcut:
    Thanks in advance!

    That's "BacK" in Hungarian, correct?
    That keyboard shortcut is already written, meaning it is already part of the standard suite of shortcuts.
    If you mean how to enter it on the keyboard...
    The  ⌘  character represents the Command key, the one immediately next to the Spacebar at both ends. Press and hold that key down while entering the  [  key once. The  [  character on the Hungarian keyboard layout is Option-8 so the full keyboard shortcut for "Back" would be Command-Option-8
    The paired shortcut, Forward, using the Hungarian keyboard layout would be Command-Option-9

  • Removing or altering Safari keyboard shortcuts

    Is there a way to remove or alter the keyboard shortcut to scroll down via the spacebar, or to go back to the last page via the delete key?  I am giving myself a seizure typing this on the wireless keyboard, watching the page jump up and down .

    YES. PLEASE. I just lost a bank statement to this nonsense and now I'm open on a-hole spotify... that keeps redirecting me away from the bank page I need. Why is spotify even ON my shortcuts? How the heck can I remove all the shortcuts I don't want?

  • What is the safari keyboard shortcut for "show/hide address bar"?

    I have been unable to identify the second of the two keys for the "show/hide address bar" shortcut in Safari.
    It shows the command key and then a verticle line which I can not find on my keyboard. I tried i, l, and
    1, but its none of those.
    That would be a handy shortcut for me, but it seems to use a key I don't have!

    It's ShiftCommand\ in U.S. and Canadian English. If you look at the backslash key in those layouts, there's a vertical bar above it.

    Cmd_+T turns it on, I put in my text, and then want to get to the Selection tool or preview the audio. I wind up with a lot of extra "v's" and ".'s" on my screens.

    Hit return on the numpad to exit the text tool with confirming your input (numlock status must be on).

  • Keyboard shortcut question

    When I type alt+2 to get @, I get this ™ sign instead. What can I do with this? Is it something with the programming or is it something I can do to change it?
    Thanks, Martin

    I tried that, but then this " sign comes. I did alt+2 on my girlfriends white macbook and there the @ came.
    I just found where the @ is now, on the button with * on. Is this something I can change or is the keyboard set up in that in way on this mac?
    Thanks

  • Missing Live fonts + keyboard shortcut question

    Hi,
    looking at the mew features pdf at LT I find it mentioning these Live fonts under "collector's edition":
    Itchy, Tap and under "Pro" series: Hand, Gutter and Buck. None of these are installed on my system ?
    Also a question about key commands, which I found no list in manual
    isn't there a key command to place the playhead at the beginning ? is the only way to do this really by dragging it manually ? this is very clumsy and I just can't believe that it is that way.,..must have overlooked something.
    Thanks

    Hi Bony,
    I think you're right in this ..I did get a totally new package of FCE 4. It's pretty lame for Apple as the manual that comes with the program states that these fonts are included
