Return key breaks dialog boxes

I have illustrator cs5 on snow leopard. When I open up a dialog box I often try to push enter when I'm done typing stuff to close it. The OK button is highlighted so you'd think this would work. But no, instead it just completely breaks the dialog. Clicking ok or cancel after pressing return does nothing. The dialog won't go away so I can't do anything with the rest of the program. I have to force quit and restart it, losing all my work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try this first
PC
1. Quit Illustrator.
2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings folder.
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
Mac
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

I have been having an problem recently where my shift key will sometimes type capital Y for o apparent reason, and also my return key will enter a backslash. how can I correct this? it happened to me once before. I had to reinstall clean

Recently my shift key has been for some unknown reason ben typing capital "y" when I use it, and YYI don't know how to stop it. Also my return key has been adding a backslash after the return, and I am unsure how to remove that as well, I had this problem aout 6 months ago, and I had to wipe the drive and do a clean install before it fixed. I would not want to do that again, if at all possible.

Have You found a fix for this(question mark)

In messages, does the return key always 'send' rather than shift to next line/paragraph?

How may I configure my keyboard or its function so that in 'Messages" pressing the "return" key does not send the message , but moves to the next line.?
I've looked at preferences etc. but cant seeem to locate an option for the "return" key

Erroneous behavior of return keys in Indesign CS5

Strange and reproducable serious error of Indesign CS5: Pressing the main return key within a text paragraph doesn't enter a line break but a "new column" break making all text below disappear (and being pushed to the next column or linked text frame), pressing the enter key of the numeric pad strangely enters the "end nested paragraph here" symbol. Trashing preferences (via holding Shift-ctrl-alt-cmd on startup) doesn't help. I managed to get the main return key to work through a custom keybord definition, but it doesn't work with the enter key of the numeric pad (the last key on the bottom right).
I'm using the trial version of Indesign CS5 on Mac OS X 10.6.3 in German and expect the master collection package I ordered in the mail every day - would be great if Adobe provided a fix to this problem soon.
Am I the only one experiencing this problem and is it somehow connected to my particular installation or is this a common error?

Currently, we believe this issue only to affect only the Macintosh OS, German and Swedish versions of InDesign and InCopy CS5. We have published the following KB docs:
English - http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_84345_en-us
German - http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_84345_de-de
Swedish - http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_84345_sv-se

InDesign CS5 - Enter and Return keys give unexpected results

I've been using CS5 for just a few days (Mac Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.3). I've noticed that the Enter and Return keys aren't always behaving as expected. Enter doesn't give me a column break, shift-Return doesn't give me a line break but a new paragraph, and more often than not I can't select the default option in a dialog with either Return or Enter. I've just read cpsid_84345, which says this is an issue in German and Swedish language versions, but I'm using English. The 7.01 update doesn't seem to be available. Any advice?

That the KBSC files are XML doesn't guarantee faultless migration from one version to the next, probably because Adobe just forgot to cope with importing KBSCs from previous versions. It's great that InDesign offers you such flexibility with the KBSCs, but it's terrible that the implementation has been so sloppy in at least the three last versions (maybe earlier versions, too, but I try to repress the memories).
Some people have been asking Adobe to make KBSCs scriptable. This would enably you to maintain a small database with KBSCs which a script could read and feed into a new version of InDesign, or redo a KBSC file after it has become corrupt, or whatever minor or major mishap.
The more people ask for this the better: go to http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html and request script access to the KBSCs.

In Lion return key no longer opens a file! Is there a work around?

In Lion return key no longer opens a file! Is there a work around?
In Snow Leoppard I used the return key all the time in finder and Path finder when quickly navigating files. There was the choice of the 2 return keys, one opens the file and the other goes into edit the filename. Now in Lion both keys do the same thing and I miss it badly. It means you have to go to the mouse which (reletively speaking) takes ages.
Is there a work arround or fix?

This is a standard setting to change to this to allow users to access the emotions option, this has been like this for some while because the text messages app only allows a number of letters and to add a line break will cause issue with the letter count... At this time there isnt any way to modify it other than use a 3rd party keyboard but a number of them does this as well.
Another option that may work is open a email and type the message the way you want it to layout and then copy all text and paste in the text message window, it may keep the original format of the text but I havent tried it myself.
UPDATE: Just tried it and you can copy and paste from email and text will keep format...

Enter/return key issue.

We have a new Macbook Pro and the enter/return key does not work with software unless we push the shift key at the same time. It only does this on one user as well. Other users on the computer the enter/return key works fine. As an example - if you are done with a sentence in Pages and you hit the enter/return button to go to the next line nothing happens unless you also hold the shift key down. Any ideas?

I have found a solution that works in Excel 2011. But you can try to see if this solution would work for Pages also. Remember, where the instructions below refer to Excel substitute it with Pages instead. From what I am understanding you want to click the RETURN key and move down to the next line in the document. Hopefully it works.
If you want to click the RETURN key and have the cursor go from the current cell to the the next row in Column A (i.e. The cursor is in cell B2, click RETURN, the cursor moves to A3) do the following:
1) Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of your desktop.
2) Click SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
3) Click KEYBOARD.
4) In the KEYBOARD box click KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS.
5) Click APPLICATION SHORTCUTS from the left menu.
6) Click the + (plus sign) that appears to the left of the Restore Defaults
button.
6) In the box that appears select EXCEL for the APPLICATION you want to apply this shortcut to. (if Excel does not appear on the list, click on OTHER at the bottom of the list, click MICROSOFT OFFICE, then click EXCEL).
7) In the MENU TITLE field enter the name you would like to give this shortcut (i.e. ACTIVE CELL). Click the RETURN key(enter) to continue.
The cursors will now appear in the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT field. Click the RETURN (enter) key once. The shortcut will now appear in the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT field.
9) Click ADD.
Now go into the spreadsheet and test the shortcut. Enter information into the spreadsheet into a number of cells in the same row (move between the cells either with the TAB key or RIGHT ARROW), When you are done entering your information, then click RETURN. The cursor should now move to the next row in COLUMN A (i.e. The cursor is in cell B2, click RETURN, the cursor moves to A3).
Hope it works for you as well as it did for me.

How to turn off 'Return Key jumps to next cell' in Tables?

I can't find where you turn off this feature. I want to type two paragraphs in a cell with a space between them. I've wasted 2 hours trying to figure this out. Please help!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know I've been having the same issue with the new 3.0 update for Numbers and just found a keyboard shortcut that has helped me a great deal. I guess I'll be using this until they add an option to turn that "Return Key Moves to Next Cell" off, like the older versions had...
Anyway, if you place the cursor where you'd like a line break and press Ctrl+O (mind you I do mean Ctrl and NOT Command here), it will insert a line break at that place. Hope this helps!

Enter vs Return key?

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I was wondering - what is the difference between the return key and the enter key on my keyboard? For me - I hardly ever use the real "enter" key near the command key. I always use the regular enter key above the shift, but yet it is actually a "return"? I also noticed that holding the FN key while pushing return makes it the "enter" key because it is in the gray font on the key. Any info on the differences of these keys? Thanks!

Not that I can tell (usually). It may make a difference in some applications, but I always use the Return key, too.

Shift-return mood swings

We purchased CS2 with Dreamweaver 8 a while back and I'm
having persistent problems with inserting line breaks (<br>)
with shift-return. Sometimes it works fine, but often, I just get
that black circle with the line through that says - sorry! I'm not
letting you do that! It's a simple thing, but enough to slow down
my productivity (especially since I've been trying to deal with
Adobe customer service by phone...) and is driving me bonkers.
Anyone have (or better yet, solved) this same problem?

Show us a page where you have this problem, please.

My return key on Macbook pro doesn't work

My return key on Macbook Pro stopped working, also the shift key

Hello there,
It sounds like the return key is not working on your computers built in keyboard. I would use these steps from the following article to help isolate and resolve the issue:
Try logging into a different user account. If the issue does not occur when logged into a different user account, then troubleshoot for software issues.
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, and then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or press Set Key to select another key.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Language & Text, and then click Input Sources. Select the checkbox next to Keyboard & Character Viewer, and then select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. To see the keyboard layout, choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu.

Hard return key problem

I am having a problem with my return key. For some reason yesterday it just stopped working. I can use a soft return( Shift + return) but not a hard return (just using the return key) Is this a phyiscal problem or a software issue? Any suggestions?

Hey Pete,
Check this post out:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2344732&tstart=0
It's about an iBook but the principle is the same. Spills?
Doesn't take much, often just a tiny drop if it finds it's way into the wrong place. Did you try another keyboard? Any USB keyboard will work. If it's a PC keyboard the command, option and control keys will be in different places.

Hi s.darge,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If some keys are not working on your MacBook, this test can help to isolate the cause:
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
You can find the article with these steps here:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

The mail app crashes as soon as I hit the return key.

A new development on my Macbook Pro. If I am writing an email or responding to one, as soon as I hit the return key the app crashes.
I don't experience that problem anywhere else, like in this form, for example.
Please help.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
