Setting a new keyboard shortcut

I am trying to set a new keyboard shortcut. I named my New Set, chosen the Product Area, chosen the Command and tabbed to the New Shortcut window. When I try to type in the New shortcut, I can only get 1 letter typed in and then that shortcut pops up(if I try to type Ctrl, as soon as I type C I get a message C copy). Any ideas?
Thanks

Function assigned was swash
Product Area:Panel Menu
Commands:Character: Open type (swash)
Shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+Alt+M
as I follow in the lesson, using the type tool, the N is highlighted and then the keyboard shortcut is used and the N then has some added curlyques at the beginnig and at the end of the letter.
When I try, it deletes the N and gives the green sign (looks like the symbol for non-joiner with a period beneath it). Not sure why I would get this symbol when I try to insert a swash.

Setting a new keyboard shortcut in Final Cut Express

Dear All,
I'm using Final Cut Express 2, with Tiger.
I'm doing some editing that includes many dissolves, and so I'm having to go to Sequence>Render Selection>Video very frequently. There's no keyboard shortcut on the drop-down menu.
Is there any way I can set a shortcut for this? In other words, record a 'macro'?
Your help received with gratitude!
Roger

Dear Tom,
Thanks again. Very helpful.
I'm rendering a video file which has audio on it (the source is a mobile phone camera), but I've muted the audio because I'm using the video to accompany original music. It's a kind of music promo. What I'd really prefer to do is to delete the audio track that came with the video entirely - again, any ideas welcomed. But thank you again.
Roger

New keyboard shortcut didn't work; neither did resetting default

I wanted to create a new keyboard shortcut for sending mail, so I used the system prefs pane like the help file said (new application shortcut, select mail, etc). After creating my new shortcut (^X), it initially didn't appear in the Message menu for Mail. I quit Mail and restarted, and voila - but hitting ^X didn't send my message. That's annoying.
So I figured I'd set the shortcut back, and hit the Restore Default button in the keyboard shortcuts preferences. The listing for the shortcut I created disappeared from the menu, but even after quitting Mail several times, and restarting the machine, Menu - Send still lists ^X as its shortcut. Which would be fine with me, but it still doesn't send my message when I hit ^X.
My shortcut doesn't work, and resetting the defaults doesn't seem to be resetting what Mail thinks the shortcut is. Any thoughts? I'm on OSX 10.4.7, Mail is 2.1.

No, I did the changes temporarily, but none perminant.

Not yet, I think I will do that tomarrow.

I used the wiki to compile it with ABS. It failed because I forgot to set it to be able to read EXT partitions, which it is located on.

New Keyboard Shortcuts in Word 2010 NOT SAVING

I am unable to save new keyboard shortcuts to Word 2010. The ones that come with the program work like CTRL B for bold, etc., but when I try to create new ones, they'll work while I'm in Word, but when I try to close it for the day, it tells me that
there is a copy already open and it doesn't allow me to save to the Normal template. When I try to save to a different template, the keyboard shortcuts I created do not work. There has GOT to be a patch or workaround for this. I am working
on a small network, fyi. Thanks so much.

Hi,
I have noticed that you have replied in a similar thread. Do you have the third party programs which mentioned there?
And then based on my test, please try the following steps:
Exit Word 2010> Rename the Normal.dot (Path: C:\Users\uesrname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates) >Restart Word.
Create the new keyboard shortcuts ,assign to the command and choose Normal to save.
If it still not works, please give me the whole error message during your saving.

Creating a new keyboard shortcut

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to create a keyboard shortcut for a function that is not on the shortcut list in CS5? I want to make a keyboard shortcut for adjusting the 'space after' a paragraph.
Thanks very much,

It's a little non-trivial.
First you have to write a script that implements that function. Then you can assign a shortcut in Keyboard Shortcuts by finding your script in the Scripts area.
The good news is that changing the space after for a paragraph is a pretty trivial script.
For instance, this script:
app.selection[0].paragraphs.everyItem().spaceAfter=0.5
sets the Space After of every paragraph of the first selected item to 0.5 in the current vertical units. It's a bit more complicated if you want it to work on every selected item (e.g. you select two independent textframes), but it works fine if you highlight multiple paragraphs in a single frame. It also doesn't do any error checking, so you'll get errors if you run it with, say, a rectangle selected, because rectangles don't usually have a paragraphs.
You could fix these limitations, but it's probably not worth the bother?
What do you do with the script? Save it as spaceAfter.jsx (or whatever) in your favorite text editor and follow the directions at How to Install InDesign Scripts to put it where InDesign can see it.

Having problems with automator and setting up universal keyboard shortcut

I have set up a service in automator to open quicktime, new audio capture, start capture. I named it "launch quicktime." I then when in to system preferences and went to the keyboard shortcuts section. I have tried in both services, and in application shortcuts to use my "launch quicktime" with the keyboard shortcut control + esc. I test it out in various applications and it doesn't work until I go to the top of said app for example safari and then go to services and select my launch quicktime. From that time on it works great. If I close safari and then relaunch it, it forgets that keyboard shortcut. What gives? I just want to be able to hit 2 keystrokes and have it launch quickime and begin an audio recording. Would greatly appreciate any help out there as to why it doesn't remember my keyboard shortcut.
Cheers,
Jon

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)
When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a Service (such as a Service Workflow created in Automator) using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, if that shortcut key combination includes the Command key, pressing that shortcut will always successfully activate the Service. No problem there.
However, shortcut key combinations that do not include the Command key (for example, the shortcut key combo Ctrl-Shift-D) WILL NOT activate the Service in any newly opened application, until you click on the Services Menu option in that application.
For more info, see THIS THREAD.

How do i create a new keyboard shortcut for an action?

I have created an action to "Save as PostScript." Can I create a keyboard shortcut or am I only allowed to use the "start" button in the action menu? Sure would be great to be able to have a shortcut....

No, there's not a way to create custom keyboard shortcuts.
There sort of is if you can do what you need to do via JavaScript by creating a custom menu item and using the key combination to access the menu item, on Windows anyway. For example, in Acrobat 11 you can export to PS on Windows by typing Alt+F+H+M+P (not much of a shortcut), but you could reduce the number of key by setting up a custom menu item, and it could automatically save it in a particular directory with a file name that's determined by the script. So you could avoid the Save As prompt.

How can I set up a keyboard shortcut for 'Remove Tween' in Flash Pro CC 2014?

I'm trying to set this up, as I have in previous versions of Flash, but the 'Remove Tween' command (among other commands) is not available in the Keyboard Shortcut window.
Is there some other way to add this shortcut?
Thanks,
George

I don't think this had a keyboard shortcut even before (checked in CS6). There's an alternative though.
1. Create a JSFL file with following code and save it in the commands folder as 'Remove Tween'.
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setFrameProperty('tweenType', 'none');
2. Now goto Edit Menu > Keyboard Shortcuts..
3. Search for 'Remove Tween' and assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
Now everytime you press the assigned key - jsfl script is executed which essentially removes the tween from selected frame. (works for Classic and Shape tween but not Motion Tweens)

New keyboard Shortcuts.

Hi there.
I have a MacBook Pro, and used to have a old white keyboard that i would plug into it at work.
I just got one of the new metal slim ones, and the shortcuts on the top are different.
Now the new keyboard is not working with the volume up and down, and all the shortcuts are wrong and still the old ones.
I went into keyboards and mice, and reset all the key shortcuts to default, but no go.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Did you install the keyboard update?

How may I edit or create new keyboard shortcuts in iWork applications?

Dear Pages enthusiast, A daily user of iWork applications, I often perform repeated operations that don't correspond to a default keyboard shortcut. It would great if I could set up my own shortcuts as was possible in Word a few years back. Can you help me find out how this is possible in Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

Wow!
Let me just step back to the opposite side of the room to read that!
You set up menu shortcuts, as you do for anything in OSX, in:
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
Just make sure you spell the menu option exactly, including Upper and lower case.

Very nice, but just for InDesign unfortunately.
Thanks for the reply.

Interesting ... tried the alt and ctrl scrolling ... and my playhead gets locked in the middle of the visible timeline as the timeline does lengthen or shorten. Now ... as I've neved played much with things like locking playheads to move the timeline instead ... to figure out how other than closing/reopening one unlocks the playhead or locks the timeline, whichever "it" is ...
One does find so many things to be illuminating when one jumps into using a program to work and just rams stuff through ... and then tries to play at something else ...

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.

How can I create a new keyboard shortcut to toggle load images automatically preferrably with one action?

I switch the load images automatically selection back and forth in order to save on my 5GB monthly data plan. Is there a utility that would allow me to create a macro of multiple keystrokes to do this with one action? Something like the macro function in Excel? Or is there another way to do this more easily than going to tools, options and clicking on the box? I don't see a shortcut for this item in the standard keyboard shortcuts list
