Shortcut for moving keyframe to playhead position?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move a selected keyframe to the current playhead position / layer in- or out-point / work area in- or out-point?

Aaron's suggestion is spot on, but also do not forget that you can nudge keyxframes (Alt /Alt+Shift and arrow keys) and generally snap keyframes while dragging with the Shift key pressed.

Shortcut for moving between Panels on Modal Dialog boxes eg: Cell Options (OS X)

Is there an existing shortcut for moving between the tabs of modal dialog boxes. For example Cmd+Opt+'B' brings up Cell Options dialog but that is actually the shortcut for the "Text" Panel how can I navigate (using keyboard keys) to the other Panels {"Strokes and Fills", "Rows and Columns", "Diagonal Lines"}.
Note:
I realise I can create shortcuts for the Table…> Cell Options…> Diagonal Lines items but these shortcuts will not work in the context of the Cell Options Modal Dialogue box.

Hey Thanks.
For those who come looking b/s they had the same question:
As a bonus once one of these key sequences is pressed the tab heading area comes into focus so the arrow keys work for navigating tabs. So even for long list of Paragraph Style tabs which number greater than 10 still easy to navigate to them eleventh to someteenth ones.

Shortcut for moving forward and backward through Time Machine

It seems obvious that there should be keyboard shortcuts for moving backward and forward through time in the Time Machine. Anyone know how?

it might seem obvious but AFAIK there are no shortcuts for that. use the mouse.
I can't imagine replacing a simple mouse click with something like
Cmd-Ctl-Shift-Fn12-page up
It's noticeable that the menu disappears when entering TM, meaning that the usual assignments of shortcuts in the KB menu have, at least for the present, unknown values, if any at all.
What kind of shortcut would take me back to December 25, 2007 anyway? The trackpad and trackpad bar work.
It's possible to open TM with a shortcut or script, but from there one is on the dark side.

Is there a shortcut for moving playhead precisely in a clip

Is there a shortcut to move the play head precisely in a clip? For instance 1 second forward from beginning of clip -- or 1 second back from end of clip?
I want to insert key frames for fades and zooms. thanks.

Sean:
In your timeline, and nothing selected, place the playhead in the reference location (in your example, at the beginning of your clip) and just type the desired playhead "movement": i.e. type 10 + ENTER and your playhead will move 10 frames forward. You can use seconds too: i.e. typing -1.15 will move your pleyhead 1:15 secs. backwards.
Hope it helps !

Trying to make a better shortcut for moving mails to mailboxes - any ideas?

Mail Act-On no longer works for me since upgrading to Yosemite, and the developer isn't sure if he can get it to (the problem seems to be that I also have the Japanese keyboard installed, but Act-On no longer works in that case, even when not using the Japanese keyboard). Anyway, there is a clunky sort of short-cut in Mail itself you can use to move messages: CMD+SHIFT+?.
This opens up the Help > Search menu. If you search for the name of a mailbox you can then select the mailbox from the resulting search list and move or copy emails to the folder.
It's clunky, because it takes more time, and oftentimes it doesn't indicate if you are moving or copying. But it's better than nothing. And quicker than going through the entire hierarchy of mailboxes to move it (I have a lot of mailboxes).
I've been trying to create an easier short-cut than CMD+SHIFT+? because I use this all the time. But all my attempts to set a short-cut for the Mail app in the keyboard shortcut settings have failed. I wonder if it's because there is also a general search feature in Mail which interferes.
Anybody know how to set a short-cut for Help > Search?
Or even better, anybody know some tools for shortcuts to (1) move messages to mailboxes and (2) open mailboxes?
Thanks,
doug

I found that the MsgFiler app available from the App store works very well for this.

Keyboard Shortcut for moving a clip in timeline to a higher or lower track?

Hi all,
Sure seems like this should exist but I cannot find it.
I want to be able to select clips in the timeline and click a keyboard shortcut to have the clip jump straight up to the next track above.
Anyone know if this is possible?
I have six hours of edited material and literally thousands of B-camera clips to move.... a keyboard shortcut would really help in this situation.
Thanks,
Matt

In the PDF files of the FCP user manual, and in the Quick Reference (Keyboard Shortcuts) menu item from within FCP.
Option-↑ (that's Option & the Up Arrow) This works provided that there are no clips in the track space directly above the clips that you're looking to move. (if there are clips, it will fail; you'd need to select those clips as well for it to work. That or move those clips first.)< </div>
So, we all have to ask, "Why isn't this in the manuals? And, we might as well ask, how many other undocumented features are there in FCP? "

Keyboard Shortcut for moving audio

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move an audio track the smallest increment? I am trying to sync audio with video and when I use the mouse to drag the audio left of right along the timeline, it jumps more than the minimum allowable increment.
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the forum.
Neale has given you the "trick," that you need. Just do not forget to hit the S key again, to toggle Snap back on, when you go to do other editing, or things will not work as before.

Keyboard shortcut for moving documents?

Hi all,
Potentially a long shot, but was wondering if a keyboard shortcut exists to move documents into a folder on my computer?
Files downloaded get save to my Desktop and I sort into folders from there, and was wondering if there was a way to make this process easier - e.g. like sorting emails in an email inbox into a folder.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks much,
Ryan

Keyboard shortcuts in terminal.app for moving to next and previous tabs

Hi,
In Terminal.app, if you click on the Window menu item, it tells you that the keyboard shortcuts for moving to the next and previous tab are ⌘} and ⌘{.
When I try to use those shortcuts however all I get is it beeping at me.
The only way I've found to move from tab to tab is ⌘-shift--> and ⌘-shift-<-
What do I have to do to get the ⌘} style shortcuts working??
Thanks
H.

Here are some to get you going:
Ctrl + A Go to the beginning of the line you are currently typing on
Ctrl + E Go to the end of the line you are currently typing on
Ctrl + L Clears the Screen, similar to the clear command
Ctrl + U Clears the line before the cursor position. If you are at the end of the line, clears the entire line.
Ctrl + H Same as backspace
Ctrl + R Let’s you search through previously used commands
Ctrl + C Kill whatever you are running
Ctrl + D Exit the current shell
Ctrl + Z Puts whatever you are running into a suspended background process. fg restores it.
Ctrl + W Delete the word before the cursor
Ctrl + K Clear the line after the cursor
Ctrl + T Swap the last two characters before the cursor
Esc + T Swap the last two words before the cursor
Alt + F Move cursor forward one word on the current line
Alt + B Move cursor backward one word on the current line
Tab Auto-complete files and folder names

Need keyboard shortcuts for an old Power Macintosh please

Hi all
I’m try to copy 2 folders from the desktop of an old Apple Power Macintosh to a ZIP drive.
The mouse on the Power Mac doesn't work, so I’ve to use keyboard shortcuts to move the folders.
My problem is that I can’t find the right keyboard map on the web for a computer about 15 years old, and the OSX keyboard shortcuts don’t work on this computer.
As far as I can work out the Power mac is before G3 and is a 6000 to 8000 model. If anyone knows the shortcut to find the exact software version, that will be great.
So could anybody please suggest to me the keyboard shortcuts for the following commands:
Open ZIP dive folder
Move back to desktop
Copy folder on the desktop
Select ZIP drive folder
Past the folder from desktop to ZIP drive.
I can’t find any info on the web, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Under Mac OS 8 or later, you can select a file or folder in the current window (or on the desktop if no windows are open) by typing the first few letters of its name. You can also use the arrow keys. I don't remember whether these work in System 7.
Apple-O opens a selected file or folder. Apple-W closes the current window.
Apple-C and Apple-V are copy and paste, respectively, but I'm not sure if they'll work for copying files and folders. I'm not sure if there's a keyboard shortcut for moving files and folders.
If you can find "Script Editor" (it might be in a folder named "Applescript"), you could use it to write a script that will move the folders. Follow these instructions:
Find and open Script Editor. Apple-F opens the "Find" window.
In Script Editor, enter the following:
(Instead of XYZ and ABC, enter the names of the folders you want to copy. And instead of MyZIP, enter the name of the Zip disk.)
tell application "Finder"
duplicate folder "XYZ" of desktop to disk "MyZIP"
duplicate folder "ABC" of desktop to disk "MyZIP"
end tell
Press Apple-R. That should copy the folders to the Zip disk.

Keyboard shortcut for adding link in Mail

How would I add a keyboard shortcut using the "Keyboard" preference pane to add a link in Mail? I use that menu item a lot.
EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out. For nested items like "Link>Add" you just choose the second command, in this case "Add...". But you have to type Option+semicolon instead of three periods.

Just looking for the keyboard shortcut for adding keyframes
There isn't one. You click the Add/Remove Keyframe button in the Effects Controls panel after enabling keyframing with the stopwatch button. You'll find much more here: Adding, navigating, and setting keyframes
rendering needs to stop itself when it's finished to automatically play the sequence from it's very beginning

Keyboard shortcut for ADD / REMOVE KEYFRAME?

Mm. Can't seem to find this one in the list under Help menu, and no clue bubble when you just mouse-over either. Maybe I'm just missing it.
What's the keyboard shortcut for adding / removing a keyframe?

Unfortunately there is no generic shortcut for this. There are some pre-defined entries in the shortcuts file, but only for select properties like position and scale. They are inert, though, and have no shortcuts assigned to them. A generalized approach would probably work by creating a script based on the menu item ID of "Add Keyframe" and instead assigning that script to one of the 20 reserved shortcuts for script execution. Something like app.executeMenuItem(3434) or so....

Script for moving playhead to last frame, then exporting jpg?

Hi,
I have a lot of Flash files for which I need to export jpgs of their last frame. Could a kind soul out there guide me on how to write a command for moving the timeline's playhead to the last frame, then exporting a jpg (at Full Document Size, 72 dpi, 96% quality)?
A million thanks,
Kevin

private function snapshotLastFrame():void
gotoAndStop( this.totalFrames );
_bitmapData                         = new BitmapData( stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
_bitmap                              = new Bitmap( _bitmapData );
_bitmapData.draw ( stage );
saveImageJPG( _bitmapData, "test.jpg", 96 );
public function saveImageJPG( bitmapData:BitmapData, fileName:String, quality:int ):void {
            this.jpgEncoder = new JPGEncoder( quality );
            this.fileReference = new FileReference();
            this.fileReference.save( this.jpgEncoder.encode( bitmapData ), fileName + ".jpg" );
Keep in mind that you need a few extra libraries to be able to create a jpeg.. (AS3CoreLib) can be found at googleCode.

Shortcut?? for moving entire audio or video tracks?

If I have elements/clips on audio track one and want to move the entire
track contents to audio track 3 for instance, is there a keyboard shortcut for tht?
I'm certainly aware you can use the track tool and drag it where you need it to go, but I was wondering if there are keyboard commands to make that happen?
Thanks.

If there is free space in the track above you can use the OPTION-UP Arrow.
Not sure how to get around doing it if there is stuff above the track you want to move.
