Show keyboard shortcuts in contextual menus

It'd be super useful if the contextual menu that you get by right clicking on something showed the keyboard shortcuts for commands. I'm always doing something using the contextual menu, thinking it'd be great if I could do that with a keyboard shortcut and then going up to the menubar menu to find the shortcut for the command.

Hard to argue with that one...

  • Keyboard Shortcuts for Nested Menus

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v250/deb6404/AutomatorKeyboardShortcutExample. png
    If you take a look at the above screenshot, you'll see that there are a couple automator functions I've added as plugins in Finder.
    They work great when I use them, but I can't seem to get a keyboard shortcut to work. When I assign them by name (System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Keyboard Shortcuts -> Finder, then add a new one) it puts a shortcut next to it as though it should work.
    But it doesn't. If I navigate to the Automator menu in Finder as show below, the keyboard shortcut WILL trigger.

    But accessing it with just the file selected, Finder doesn't seem to want to access the nested menu.
    How do you add a nested Finder menu to Keyboard Shortcuts?
    Thanks!

    What you want would be very handy, but I don't think it can be done. AFAIK the menu shortcuts that you can add are for those in the menu bar, not the Contextual menu, I was astonished that it even FOUND the contextual menu and started displaying a "shortcut" for it, not in the least bit surprised that the putative shortcut didn't work. You probably want some sort of shareware application like Spark or QuicKeys. Spark is free and I liked it in Tiger, don't know if it will work in Leopard, and is free. QuicKeys is, I think, rather pricey.

  • Web Layer hide/show keyboard shortcut Mac

    Hi,
    In FW 5.5 I used to use the keyboard shortcut "2"  to show / hide the Web Layer (i.e. show/hide slices) - this was my most often used shortcut. This still works in FW6 for Windows, but I just cannot seem to get it to work (or even create a custom keyboard shortcut) in FW6 for Mac. It appears to be broken.
    Does anyone know if there is a workaround, or a fix coming?
    Thanks
    tim

    I wasn't aware of this keyboard shortcut! Is it listed in the Menu Commands anywhere? Or in Keyboard Shortcuts?
    I just tried it in CS6 on Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and it worked fine. Are you running OS Lion?

  • Any way to add shortcuts to contextual menus?

    I would like to add the shortcut Cmd-n (New Finder Window) to the contextual menu in the Finder. Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks

    Ok, I think I know what you mean. You want a Service that opens a new Finder window.
    Do you want it to open to the item you click on (i.e. a folder)?
    The only way I can see to add a contextual menu to the Finder is if you actually select something. It won't show up if you just click in the window background or on the Desktop.
    For it to open the current selected folder in a new window, make an automator Service that accepts folders from the Finder and add the "Open Finder Items" action. Leave it with default application.
    Save it and it will show up in the Finder contextual menu if you select a folder.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6/ Bridge & Lightroom Keyboard Shortcuts

    I would be grateful if someone could direct me to a pdf list showing keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom and Bridge.
    Thanks

    For a reference to Adobe Photoshop's keyboard shortcuts, take a look at the new Photoshop CS6 Quick Reference Guide. It is in its beta form, but it is a great way to find shortcuts, as well as find a menu location that might have changed from CS5. We are looking for your feedback, which you can contribute on the site as well.

  • Services, contextual menus or Keyboard shortcuts?

    I have 10.7.2 and in SysPrefs/Keyboard Shortcuts was able to create a "Move to..." thing under Services but now I can't figure out how to edit it or make a new one.  There's no way to double click in KeyboardShortcuts to edit the thing I created [tho I can uncheck it so it doesn't work either as a services or contextual menu].  But I cannot now remember how i created it in the first place.  Is it something I do in some other place??  Thanks.

    I thought so too but when I clicked it nothing happens = I also checked the box to be sure it was 'operative' [I'm in SysPrefs/Keyboardshortcuts/services] and tried and nothing happens -- it's not the keyboard shortcut itself that I'm dealing wiht [yes that does get an editting box around it] but changing the item itself -= the "MovetoTrashLater" wording and action cannot be editted in other words = I can add a shortcut but can't change the Move to location...
    whoops I checked correct answer and the one below this is

  • How to apply different keyboard shortcuts to an actions with the same name but in different menus within one application?

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone can help. I have the application "djay" and in two different menus there is the action "Eject". I was wondering if it's possible to apply different keyboard shortcuts to those actions with the same name? I can't see how to do it as it seems you can only write the action but as there are two it doesn't seem to work for me.
    For example:
    djay>Table-1>Eject - ⌘⇧1
    djay>Table-2>Eject - ⌘⇧0
    Thanks in advance for any help!!

    A NodeList doesn't only contain 1 element. In your example it contains ALL <Data> elements inside the document.
    NodeList nodes = document.getElementsByTagName("Data");
    System.out.println(nodes.getLength() + " \"Data\"-elements found");
    for(int i=0; i<nodes.getLength(); i++) {
       Node node = nodes.item(i);
    }

  • How can I get the Voiceover Keyboard shortcuts to show up in a form in which I can copy

    I have low vision & have been trying to learn to use Voiceover on both my iPhone & my Mac mini for months. Very frustrating.
    1. How can I get the Voiceover keyboard shortcut commans to show up in a form in which I can copy & paste them into a pages document so I can print it out & use for quick reference?? The one that shows up when I press VO +HH won't let me copy & paste it, & it won't show up in the Help section no matter what subject I enter. The help topics shown do not correlate with the topics I'm entering. why is that??
    2. Please make the cursor able to be wider, like in the software program Zoomtext, that I used when I had a PC. The razor-thin cursor (in this text box!) in Pages is impossible for me to see.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    You should be able to copy them from there.

  • Keyboard shortcuts are not showing, but still exist!?

    I've tried to look for this issue, but I can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this... it's a strange one. Here is the situation:
    First, I'm speaking of iOS 5.0.1, and the keyboard shortcuts located under General->Keyboard->Shortcuts.
    Upon upgrading to iOS 5, I was pretty stoked about this massive time-saver that was previously only possible through (already forgot the $5 app's name!) and was further restricted in the fact that the only apps it could be used in were those specifically coded to use its API. Anyway, thankful it's now native!
    Was... thankful. When they were all showing up in the listing as they are supposed to. Something happened... maybe the upgrade from 5.0->5.0.1, I can't pinpoint a specific time when they all decided to turn to ghosts! Every last one of them, looks like they were erased... the list is totally bare. That's misleading, though, because the shortcuts that I had created still work fine! They just fail to show up in the list. Odd... There have been a couple of rare occassions that I cannot find a way to reproduce where I could just put something in the Search box, (any letter, or a space) and they would all show up again as if they never left!
    Until you try and start editing or messing with any of them... any edits will crash the Settings app upon hitting Save. Additionally, you obviously cannot add a shortcut term that already exists then save it "overwriting" an old one as a trick... it just says it already exists and you can't use that shortcut term.
    I did take some screenshots of when I got it to actually show up (and still have no idea what I did to cause them to briefly appear as search results -- I can try the same thing now and I get no results found. Anyone have any idea what in the world could be going on, or how I can fix this? It's a real pain, considering any new ones I add also disappear... so many of them that I created months ago, I can't recall what the exact shorthand was, and I'm out of
    My only thought for a hopefully "sure fix" would be to do a RESET on keyboard settings. I'd like to avoid it if at all possible, as that's going to erase not only the mass of shortcuts that already exist, but will also reset my custom words/anything it has "learned" from my input.
    As far as troubleshooting to see if anything made a difference-- I have added extra keyboards, removed all keyboards, changed the default keyboard to another language, you name it as far as adding or subtracting (or even changing software/hardware keyboard layouts out) -- all to no avail.
    Here are the few screenshots I was able to get during the "fluke" time that I "sort of" got them to reappear:
    Did a search on "s"--
    I believe this was a freshly added one? Or it alone, showed up:
    This one I simply searched on a single (space):
    At no other point have I been able to recreate this temporary resurrection since then, but as proof that they still are in effect:
    I'd really like to go in and change some of them, for instance, I defined "nm" as "not much" and instead, I find myself using that regularly as shorthand for nevermind (which I originally defined as n/m or nvm)... but any action on them... editing, deleting, etc... results in the Settings crash, as mentioned, immediately upon hitting Save... *boop* gone.
    Do any of you brilliant minds have any suggestions to try that don't involve resetting the keyboard settings (wiping it out and redoing the OS is not an option for something that is really mostly an annoyance and inconvenience. Too much time, effort and trouble for me to have to do that, unfortunately... Has anyone seen or heard of this happening to anyone else? In closing, I can't tie the disappearance to any specific event, other than "possibly the 5.0.1 upgrade" (and that's just a guess).
    What's not a guess was that my iPhone 4 was running super fast and battery worked great at 5.0! Was very happy! 5.0.1 destroyed this thing. It's now slow, constantly crashing, and my batttery (which unlike 4S owners) was working great... now I am having to charge it 3-4 times per day! That's not even with heavy usage! That's another story and has its own (very long and irate) thread. My thought: should've just stayed with 5.0; what possessed me to apply a patch for an issue that I wasn't even experiencing!
    Oh, one last probably important bit of info -- firmware is clean, it's not JB or anything. Upgrade to 5.0 went smooth as can be, and I was very pleased with 5.0 -- now I'm considering downgrading back to 5.0 (thankfully saved my SHSH's) though I don't know the implications of what FURTHER havoc that could cause, so I'm patiently waiting for 5.1 to not fix everyone's issues! I never said I was an optimist, but I do consider myself a realist! *nods*
    Crap. After posting this, I was able to find these other few users experiencing the same thing. Didn't mean to dupe post but at least here's the cross reference which I'll post there too:

    I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
    I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
    Rebooted everything a dozen times.
    Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
    Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
    I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
    After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
    I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

  • How to I show a tooltip using a keyboard shortcut?

    Hi, does any one know how to show a tooltip for the currently active item in a web page using the keyboard? I can get tooltips to display using the mouse, but I'd like a keyboard shortcut too. Shift -F1 didn't help, nor Ctrl-F1.

  • What is the menu title to show original file to map to keyboard shortcut

    Does anyone know what "menu title" to use for File > Show in Finder for a keyboard shortcut?
    I just updated to itunes 10 and discovered my keyboard shortcut CMD-R to show the original file is broken and no longer works. Apparently Apple changed it to CMD-Shift-R. This is no longer consistent with the way CMD-R shows the original file in the Finder or in the search results and I want to set it back using the keyboard shortcut system preferences.
    When I select itunes and put in the menu title "Show in Finder" which is what it displays with CMD-Shift-R it changes in the menu, but it doesn't work and then neither does CMD-Shift-R. quiting and restarting itunes makes no difference.
    Does anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks.

    I tried to do something similar in Firefox for mapping copy to F3. I tried the methods you used even tried a keymapping plugin for Firefox as well as the suggestions below. None of them worked and I could only conclude that some applications have functions coded into them in some ways we cannot change.

  • Why do keyboard shortcuts for menu items created in System Preferences appear in Firefox menus but not work?

    Given that Firefox does not obey the System Preferences custom keyboard shortcuts, why does it still display those shortcuts in the menus, thereby incorrectly telling users that they will work?
    This issue was raised 6 months ago, but the only posted answer did not explain why the menus reflect the shortcuts that Firefox doesn't obey.

    Outlines are discussed in a series of articles beginning with Creating an Outline in Chapter 5 of the Pages '09 User Guide. A similar set of articles, beginning with Creating Lists follows immediately.
    Reading through the articles, I don't see any mention of a keyboard shortcut or menu item related to moving an item up or down in the list. A search through Pages '09's menus was also unproductive.
    Apparently this 'essential function' is unsupported in Pages.
    Feature requests should be made through Provide Pages Feedback, found in the Application menu (in Pages, the 'Pages' menu), where they'll go to and be read by Apple. Here you're posting to Pages users, who can help you use existing features, but have no direct influence on missing ones.
    The Pages '09 User Guide, a searchable pdf document, is available for download via the Help menu in Pages.

  • Contextual menu keyboard shortcut

    I've searched around and can't find an answer to this one.
    What's the keyboard shortcut to access the contextual menu?
    For example, when I select a text layer and press T, how can I change the font, size, anti-aliasing, etc. without using the mouse?

    Ryan,
    I know a shortcut trick for getting access to the font family, font style, font size, and anti-aliasing input boxes while the text tool is selected.
    Type your text; press the numeric keyboard enter key; press the standard key board enter key. This will place focus on the font family input box. Use arrow keys or start typing desired font family name. Press Tab key to jump forward one field...Shift Tab will jump back one field.
    Don't hit enter while in these fields as you'll lose focus. If you do, you'll need to press the numeric keyboard enter key again.
    When you are finished, press Control T to place focus back on the text tool. You'll need to do this to get commit/cancel type option.
    For more options, you would need to use the Character palette. If you click in one of the Character palette fields, you can use the same shortcuts to cycle through the palette.
    Ed gave you the shortcut to navigate the Menu bar with the type tool selected. Look at the word File in the menu bar when you hit Shift F10. Use the Underlined letters to navigate. So, Shift F10<W<C<C Enter will open the character palette.
    Easier still, make a keyboard shortcut to call up the character palette.

  • Show Reading List keyboard shortcut does not work

    The Show Reading List keyboard shortcut (shift-command-L) does not work in Lion Safari 5.1.

    Problem has been fixed. I reported the bug to Apple from the Safari menu. Also, I had a different application that used the same keyboard shortcut for one of their hotkey's which I disabled. Then it worked fine. Shift-Command-L now shows reading list in Lion.
