Shortcut to cycle open windows in current Space?

Hi!
How can I get a shortcut to cycle only between the windows in the current space?
Please help!
/roda

"the default shortcut for this is control+F4 (or controlfnF4 depending on the keyboard you are using). You can change it to what you like in system preferences->keybaord->keyboard shortcuts->keyboard and text input."
Thanks alot -- this does exactly what I need!

Bring Open Application to Current Space

Is there a way to bring an application to the current Space?
Situation: I'm actively working in Space A and I need to access information from an application that is in another space, Space X. I can easily enough click on the icon in the doc to switch me to that space and application. However, I would like to option to bring that application to the current window.
Has anybody out there come across a way to do this?

There are several ways to move a window into another space. Here are two:
In the all-spaces view (F8 by default), you can arrange windows into whatever space you want.
Or... go to the window you want to move. Grab the title bar to move it and shift spaces (Control-Arrow, for example) while holding the window. The window will move along with you as you cycle through spaces.

Tile Safari Windows in Current Space

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to fix this apple script to only work on the windows in the current Space.
--When in Safari, the coordinates {0,0} refer to the upper corner not including the menubar.
tell application "Safari"
-- For some reason Safari has two invisible windows
set allWindows to (every window where visible is true)
set n to (count of allWindows)
-- Determine screen size of your machine
tell application "Finder"
set screenSize to bounds of window of desktop
set screenWidth to item 3 of screenSize
set screenHeight to item 4 of screenSize
end tell
-- Dividing by zero is bad
if n is equal to 0 then return
set windowWidth to screenWidth / n
if (n > 0) then
activate
set x to 1
-- Position each window in turn
repeat
tell window x
set bounds to {windowWidth * (x - 1), 0, windowWidth * x, screenHeight}
end tell
set x to x + 1
if x is equal to (n + 1) then exit repeat
end repeat
end if
end tell
The problem is that if I have multiple safari windows open, the variable allWindows is set to the number of safari windows in every space combined. I only want to tile the windows in the current space, and if I use this script as it is now it will tile them, but it will set their widths to allow for all windows in every space to be tiled along side. This leaves more empty space depending on how many other windows I have open.
Does anyone know how to test how many windows are only in the current space?
I'm terrible with Applescript, so specifics will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply, Pierre.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I didn't write this script, I found it somewhere online and then promptly forgot where. However, it doesn't work very well if I have other windows in other spaces, so I wanted to see if I could figure it out.
It's still not working correctly, it seems to work the same way as before:
--When in Safari, the coordinates {0,0} refer to the upper corner not including the menubar.
set theTargetIDs to {}
tell application "Safari"
set theIDs to id of every window
set theIDs to reverse of theIDs -- to keep the initial stacking order
repeat with thisID in theIDs
set index of window id thisID to 1 -- try to change the index value
if index of window id thisID is 1 then -- the window is in the current space
copy (thisID as number) to the beginning of theTargetIDs
end if
end repeat
theTargetIDs -- from front to back - the windows that are in the current space
set n to (count of theTargetIDs)
-- Determine screen size of your machine
tell application "Finder"
set screenSize to bounds of window of desktop
set screenWidth to item 3 of screenSize
set screenHeight to item 4 of screenSize
end tell
-- Dividing by zero is bad
if n is equal to 0 then return
set windowWidth to screenWidth / n
if (n > 0) then
activate
set x to 1
-- Position each window in turn
repeat
tell window x
set bounds to {windowWidth * (x - 1), 0, windowWidth * x, screenHeight}
end tell
set x to x + 1
if x is equal to (n + 1) then exit repeat
end repeat
end if
end tell
Am I missing something? I don't think that script is selecting only the windows in the current space- it's still tiling in every space. Can you take a look?
Sorry for my incapability to help myself. :S
Thank you.

Open app in current space/desktop option missing

After upgrading to Yosemite I now no longer have the option from the task bar -> app -> options -> This Desktop or Desktop on Display [#]. It looks like this option is SUPPOSED to still be available on Yosemite: OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces
Every time I restart my spaces are all moved around and some, not all, of my apps open in different spaces.
I'd like to get organized again. Am I missing something?

Spaces: create new window makes same Space slide in

I"m just starting to try to use Spaces, after seeing the clear benefit to it.
I have Space 1 set up with a couple of finder windows to make moving things around easy and in Space 2, I also want Finder windows, but when I hit CMD-N to create one, I'm sent back to Space 1 and a new window is created there!
Also, if I create a new folder on the desktop in Space 2, then open it, I am also taken back to Space 1 where that folder opens.
this tells me that I'm not going to get what I need, or that I just don't yet fully understand Spaces.. can somebody shine a light on this for me?
is it that Finder is either assigned only to that first Space, or to All?
My goal is to have Spaces where both Applications and Finder windows reside.
thank you!

I think you want the Finder assigned to all Spaces so new finder windows will open in the current Space you are in. To assign the Finder to all Spaces, it is not quite as straight forward as assigning other apps to all Spaces.
Do this to assign the Finder to all Spaces:
1. Go to the Spaces tab in System Preferences;
2. Click the plus ( + ) to add an app and select Other;
3. Navigate to the folder Macintosh HD» System» Library» Core Services» Finder.app
and click the Add button.
Back in the Spaces prefpane, select Every Space next to the Finder.app under the Space column.
If it doesn't work how you wanted, delete it from the Spaces assignment by clicking the minus ( - ) button.

How do I change the keyboard shortcut for Cycle through open documents in PS CC for Mac?

Sorry to bug the community with such a seemingly inconsequential task, but I am seriously tired of using the awkward default keyboard shortcut for cycling through open docs in PS. I'd like to change it to what I am used in in Chrome, which is Cmd+Option+[left] or {right} arrow keys. I noticed this is not a command listed in the in keyboard shortcuts, for whatever reason. Where on Earth can I change this?
If it is not possible to do it by default, is there a plug-in or a change to the code that will allow this basic functionality?
Thanks again guys and gals!

As far as I know, you can't. It's "hard wired" in. Not even Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts is allowed to change it.
However I did find this tip:
Anyway i never found tabs in Adobe application useful, instead i prefer the old school method: simply switch off tabs feature via illustrator/ preferences/ user interface/ open documents as tabs. Then in Mac preferences panel, under keyboard, just search for the “focus on next application window” field (under menu, keyboard and text) and assign a shortcut if the default option doesn't fit you. And there is now you can easily switch between open documents!.
The best part of this is that it can be used in all mac applications, not only Adobe ones. And remember, if you want this working on Indesign, Photoshop, etc be aware of first switch off the tab features so that the system could “see” multiple documents opened not only one single tabbed document.

I would like to open different Safari windows in different Spaces

I would like to be able to open different Safari windows in different Spaces. They guy at the Apple store told me this was impossible, but I am 99% sure that I accidentally had it working this way before I realized what Spaces was, but now that I have set my Spaces preferences, I cannot get it to work for me.
Ideally, my husband could use one space - he only uses Safari. And I could use the other Spaces for my various applications, including Safari.
Any suggestions appreciated!

I do it as follows.
I don't have Safari assigned to any (or all) spaces. I don't have the little checkbox checked at the bottom of Spaces preferences ("When switching to an application...").
In a given space I click on Safari in the dock. This makes it the active application. Of course, if a window is already open in that space it will come to the front. But suppose there isn't a window open. I then ask for a new window (via the File menu, or via command-n). Voila. That window is in that space. You can do this in any space and the windows stay where you created them.
(A shortcut is simply to control-click on the Safari dock icon and select "New Window".)

Right-click to 'open new tab' on address opens a tab in ANOTHER WINDOW than current one. recent problem.

When I right-click on address and choose 'open in new tab', it creates the new tab in a DIFFERENT window. Current window is not full'. Recent problem, and consistent.
Thank you.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Keyboard shortcut for cycling through open images

Thanks for any info!

Does that not work for you?

Cycle through open windows in Safari, Finder, etc etc.

I have a macbook pro running Leopard since it came out. I can't complain, everything works fine and one of the things I use the most is the Command+< combination to cycle between windows inside a program. I use it mainly on Safari, Photoshop and Pages.
Recently, while resizing some partitions very irresponsibly, an error erased my entire internal HDD. Long story short: I got everything back with third party software, recovered into a new drive, and after installing Leopard again on my macbook pro, I got my files back from the external drive and my OS is running as it was the first time. I could even recover my keychain!
Somethings, small things, have changed since that reinstall, and I can't solve them.
I can't cycle through windows the the Command-< combination anymore.
I've read all posts on this forum that deal with this issues and I've checked and rechecked that list of OS commands, where in fact there is one that says "cycle between open windows etc". It does not work. Not the Command-~, not the command-`, nothing. The later is even listed in my keyboard and mouse preferences (accessible through system preferences) and still I can't get it to actually DO what it describes.
I really want it back the way it was.
Since none of the other posters with this problem posted feedback as to finding a solution, I bring this problem back in hopes it gets more attention this time.
Thank you!

Strangely, one of the things I had already tried so many times, worked.
Changing the shortcut for "Move to next window in active application" under the tab Keyboard Shortcuts in the panel Keyboard and Mouse in System Preferences.

Keyboard Shortcut to cycle windows?

I just wipped my iBook and reinstalled X.4, but now one of the shortcuts I use all the time isn't working. <Apple> ~ usually cycles through open windows of an applicaiton, but now it just beeps at me when I do it. Was there a setting I changed originally that is now preventing me from cycling because everything is back to its default state?
Thanks

As far as I know that is the default setting. Check under the keyboard and mouse preferences.

Error You cannot open window [951] Authorisations with your current licence

Dear experts,
I am getting following error msg while clicking on any documet in sap b1 Menu..
You cannot open window [951] Authorisations with your current licence
Thank you
Santosh Dhere

Hi Santosh..
You can check by clicking each user on the License administrator to find which user has assigned the License.
To reset the licence please follow SAP note 951816:
Symptom
When trying to allocate licenses to users, the number of licenses available is less than the (number of total - number of licenses already assigned).
(Menu Path: Administration -> License -> License Administration)
Solution
A user with a license allocated to her/him has been deleted from the system without deallocating the license first, or a company with users assigned has been deleted without deallocating the licenses first.
Each time a license is allocated/deallocated an entry is generated in an xml file "B1Upf.xml"
(Path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\ B1Upf.xml).
If a user/database is deleted without previous deallocation of a license that entry is not removed from the file thus taking up a license space.
To resolve the issue follow these steps:
1. Close all SAP Business One clients.
2. Make a copy of the file (C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\B1Upf.xml) and save it with a different name or in a different folder.
3. Delete the original file.
4. Stop/Start the license server.
5. Connect to SAP Business One and assign the licenses (Administration -> License -> License Administration). You will need to reassign licenses for all your users.

An OS before 10.10 provided shortcut f10 to "show all open windows". How do we do that with 10.10?

It Has been very convenient at times to review all open windows, especially when working on multiple projects that clutter the desktop. Without the f10 shortcut, I can't easily find my way through the mishmash piled high on my desktop. How do we "show all open windows" with Yosemite??

I'm guessing you are referring to "Mission Control" - the keyboard shortcut for this is set in "System Preferences" then "Mission Control" and I think the default when the system is first setup is F3, not F10. So check out "System Preferences" and see what it currently is and if you want to change it to the F10 go ahead and change it there, along with any of the other shortcuts you might have had before with the previous OS X version.
Good luck...

How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
Many thanks!
Amadeus

Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

Open URL in current browser window

I'm developing an application that works side-by-side with the user's default web browser. The browser communicates with the app through a proxy, and that works great. The issue I'm having is going the other way. So far, I've only been successful opening a new browser window each time. However, it would be much better to be able to open a page in the current window/tab. I mainly want this to work with Firefox (or anything other than IE). Has anyone ever done this, and is this even possible with Java?
Thanks in advance.

Desktop.getDesktop().browse() is what I'm using currently. I don't think you understood my problem. Currently it is opening in a new browser window. In Firefox, it's opening in a new tab, since I have it set to open in a new tab instead of new window. But, what I want it to do is open in the CURRENT tab. In other words, navigate from the current page to a new page, just as if the user had typed in an address into the address bar and pressed enter, or just as if he had clicked a standard link on the webpage.
