Skype blocks keyboard shortcut ctrl+cmd+alt+arrow up

This is to continue the old and unresolved issue:http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac-archive/Skype-blocks-keyboard-shortcut-ctrl-cmd-alt-arrow-up/td-p/636043 The suggested solution does not work, since there is not menu option for "Enter the Push to Talk mode. Release to mute the microphone" (taken from https://support.skype.com/EN/faq/FA12074/what-keyboard-shortcuts-can-i-use-with-skype-for-mac-os-x). I gotta say this is absolutely ridiculous!Why would skype hijack a hotkey for the whole system if it's not even in focus?! Please provide a way to disable specific hotkeys or alltogether. Is there any other way to fix this right now? Mac 10.10.3Skype 7.10 (777)

I don't recall what the CTRL-COMMAND-DownArrow shortcut did, but have you tried just using COMMAND-DownArrow or CTRL-DownArrow depending upon what you want? Also see Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts.

How do i disable "Move Tab in focus" keyboard shortcut (CTRL + L/R ARROW)

how do i disable the keyboard shortcut for[[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts#w_windows-tabs|"Move Tab in focus" (CTRL + L/R ARROW)]] ? i know that firefox does not support customizing keyboard shortcuts, but is there a way to disable this specific keyboard shortcut?
i tried disabling all extensions ("safe mode")
i looked around in about:config and i couldn't find anything
FF version 4.0.1
Extensions: DownThemAll, Google Image Help, Google Shortcuts, LastPass, SortPlaces, Tab Utilities, VideoDownloadHelper, Xmarks

Did you try to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem? 
You can switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) to check if the theme is causing it.
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

CS5.5: keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+ALT and problem with ALT+CTRL

The problem concerns the CS5.5 version of InDesign on Win7. Incorrect work-based keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+ALT+?? (system shortcuts and self defined, eg paragraph style). We have to remember to press the keys in order: CTRL+ALT+??. Ordering: ALT+CTRL+?? (vice versa to CTRL+ALT) will freeze the program on the selection on drop down menu (File, Edit etc.) and inability to perform any other function with the keyboard. This is a bug, or might be changed?
If we use shortcuts eg: SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+??, we must remember to first release the ALT key and then the rest. Otherwise, InDesign hang in drop down menu...

Welcome to the forum!
It sounds like you've inadvertently turned on the Sticky Keys accessibility feature. Since you didn't mention which operating system you're using, I can't tell you how to turn it off. Trying searching for Sticky Keys in Help in the Start button menu.
Hope this helps!

HT1518 Are there a keyboard shortcuts for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the cmd ⌘ symbol ?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the command symbol ⌘? I need this a lot to take notes from tutorials etc. I know I can copy them from other text or access the special character menu, but I would love to have a easier shortcut.

You can try making one for yourself via system preferences/keyboard/text/symbol and text substitution

Why are all my keyboard shortcuts using the "Alt" key instead of the "Ctrl" key? I'm using Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts default to using "Alt" key instead of the "Ctrl" key (so, for example, opening a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).
I noticed that this is even true for copying and pasting within Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P are the only commands that work).
Any idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

Thanks, eveostay! That worked. (And for the record, what a crazy user agent string...)

Option to disable/change "Skype Call" keyboard shortcut

Hi I'm using a keyboard layout that uses the key-combination "altgr+r" to write a special character that I use fairly often when chatting with people, this however is the command for "Make Skype Call" in the Skype client so every so often I accidentally make a skype call when chatting with people because of this. Why can't the keyboard shortcut be changed or disabled/removed?! This is incredibly annoying to me and disruptive to people i communicate with.
Unless this keyboard shortcut is able to be changed/disabled I will have to start using alternative clients/services.

Ok Alt+A is a **bleep**up on my side, it is a shortcut used by KeePass to insert credentials....but Alt+R remains

PS CC keyboard shortcut Opt+Cmd+Z not working (osx mavericks)

Since I deleted the Adobe and Photoshop preferences from my library folder, I'm facing a weird issue:
Any keyboard shortcut that involves the Option/Alt key on my keyboard is simply not recognized by Photoshop. I have confirmed that my physical key is not broken and works in all other applications, but when I use it in Photoshop, nothing happens. When I go to the keyboard shortcuts menu and try to modify 'Step Backward' (because I really want this key do be like the default), I cannot put in the Option key. I can use different combinations for the command, just not this one key.
Does anybody have an idea what is going on and how to fix this? I have deleted the preference files once more and rebooted, but no change. I haven't installed any other software or drivers in a long time, so I doubt it's because of anything interfering with Photoshop. I also checked for double assigned shortcuts in the system, but as I said, PS simply won't recognize that the Alt key is pressed.

Have you tried a different keyboard to exclude a defective Option key?
How did you delete the Photoshop preferences. If you did that manually (very bad idea) try it the proper way:
Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

BUG: Changing text colours within a text block: Keyboard shortcuts problem (Photoshop CS5)

In earlier versions of Photoshop, I could double click a Paragraph Text to edit it, then select individual words and change their colours using the Ctrl+Backspace and Alt-Backspace keyboard shortcuts (to change them to either Background or Foreground colours).
In PhotoShop CS5, Alt+Backspace is OK, but Ctrl-Backspace deletes the highlighted word! Not good. I believe this is a bug, can it be fixed to revert to the old behaviour?
(Photoshop CS5 Extended x64 on Windows 7 x64)

I fully understand what you're saying, and while I'm all for compatibility, user interface change cannot be accomplished without, well, change.
Imagine, for example, that thousands of people could have reported that they couldn't delete the prior word with Ctrl-Backspace while using the T tool in Photoshop, while they could with every other application on their systems. Imagine that none of the users like you reported that they were happy with things the way they already are.
Perhaps the best approach in a situation like this would have been for Adobe to add a configuration option somewhere to allow individual users to make the choice. But EVEN THEN there's a push from the Marketing types to simplify the number of choices given to customers, probably because doing so reduces support costs (imagine, for example, someone brainlessly setting it to your flavor of Ctrl-Backspace, then calling support to complain that they can't delete the prior word as they have always been able to do). There are a lot of requests on this forum that read like "I must have changed a setting somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it."
Microsoft and Adobe have both moved lately in this direction (reducing choices and configurability), reportedly to "reduce the cognitive load" on presumably ever less intelligent users, with ill effects in many cases. Unfortunately, "you can have it any way you like so long as it's our way" seems to be the way of the future.

With Firefox 3.6.6 I can't get the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-B or CTRL-I to work to display bookmarks; how can I solve this

I have Sidebar bookmarks checked, and even so when I press CTRL-B or CTRL-I, nothing happens. I'd like to be able to see the bookmarks panel remain in place on the left of my screen. On another computer, the keyboard shortcuts work fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Many thanks.

That means that the link has an onclick action. Such links need to be left-clicked. Make sure that you do not block JavaScript.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+2

I just downloaded Safari 5 and i liked it. But, when i tried to sign in my Google Account I wasn't able to enter my information because when I do CTRLALT2 (it's how we do an @ on a French keyboard)on my keyboard, it brings me to my navigation history. As you saw, I speak French, so I don't want to change my keyboard configuration. So, is there anyway to change the hotkey 'cause I really like Safari.
Thank you!

because it's really annoying, I'm in the exact same situation. Whenever I want to loggin on a site I'm a member (like here or FB, Myspace etc...) When I enter my informations the history pops-up and I have to do everything over again. I saw there was a solution if you're working on a mac but it's about time they give us one for windows users.

Multi-tab operation: viewing PDF causes loss of keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Tab

When operating with tabs and one tab is viewing a PDF file, trying to toggle to another tab with the Ctrl+Tab shortcut works going TO the PDF tabbed page, but not AWAY from the PDF tabbed page. I must use the pointer device to actually select a non-PDF tabbed page.

Known problem in Firefox where a Plugin "grabs focus" when the Plugin is using a Tab. More noticeable with Flash than with the Adobe PDF Plugin.
The developers are working on fixing that issue in the Firefox 4.0 betas, so that problem might be fixed when Firefox 4.0 is released next month.
For the time being, you are going to have to restore "focus" by clicking somewhere in the browser window.

Change ctrl+alt+s System Information keyboard shortcut

Hello,
since last HP update, there is this new keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+S that opens the System Information panel. That shortcut is also used by other applications i.e. Adobe Photoshop. How can i change/disable that shortcut?
My OS is windows 8.1.
I've already unsuccessfully tried the steps described in the document http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=it&lc=it&dlc=it&docname=c00761879. It does not work for me because I have windows 8.1 and there is no such program as "HP Help and Tools".
Thanks

Use Windows System Restore to return to a checkpoint made on the date of the update. Each checkpoint will list details on the update that it was made for.
Use system restore, not Refresh or reset.

Ctrl+= "make font size larger" keyboard shortcut is not working, maybe related to Windows 7?

I changed recently from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit, and since then the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+= to make "font size larger" is not working anymore. Ctrl+- to make "font size smaller" is working like always. I tried this with LV8.5 and LV2011 and the missing functionality is on both LV-versions. So I wonder if this is related to Windows 7... Or am I missing something?
Any ideas?
I tried to switch keyboard input language without success. Then searched for menu shortcuts in the LV options, where Ctrl+= is not listed as it is only a keyboard shortcut and not in the menu. I wonder also why the whole font setting is so nestled in LV, why not just having a toolbar...
Looking forward for any help.

It works for me. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm running LabVIEW 8.2, so I can't test this on other versions. Are you sure you don't have some extension installed that's using that keyboard shortcut?

Can't figure out where "up arrow" command on Mac for keyboard shortcuts.

You guys helped me fix the presets in LR, but now I have to go and do each image by hand. When I go to "photo" in the library module, then to "develop settings," and then to "reset," it shows a keyboard shortcut of an up arrow, the apple command and R. I have never figured out where that stupid arrow is on my MAC keyboard. I would appreciate your help with this one also. I have several thousand photos to get thru. Many thanks for your willingness to share your expertise!!!!

Disable or change global push to talk keyboard shortcut

When in a call in Skype there is a global keyboard shortcut of CMD + Option + CTRL + Up Arrow to enable push to talk mode. There is no way to customize of disable it. I tried adding a global shortcut in keyboard maestro, it was triggered but the push to talk mode was also triggered in Skype. Is there a way to make keyboard maestro take control over these types of global shortcuts?

Not sure for Mac, but in Windows I can enable, disable or change this option. However, according to https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12024/what-are-hotkeys-and-how-do-i-use-them-mac and https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12074/what-keyboard-shortcuts-can-i-use-with-skype-for-mac-os-x seems that these options are available for Mac OS.
