Tab-switching key commands randomly changed!

I recently started a fresh OS install on this 2-year-old MacBook, and for the entire time so far I've been able to switch between Tabs by using Shift-Cmd-[ and Shift-Cmd-]. All of a sudden, about half an hour ago, it stopped responding to those key commands and now only responds to Ctl-Tab and Shift-Ctl-Tab. Any idea why it did this, or more importantly, any idea of how to make the old key commands work again?

Not a problem in the Adobe software. Something is wrong with your input devices or you have something on your system that instates global, system-wide shortcuts that may conflict with application specific ones. You need to figure out what it is.

What's the key command to change startup discs at startup?

I totally forgot and can't find it in Help. Thanks

I never zap the NVRAM/PRAM as a first resort. First I ask myself if the problem I am experiencing might have anything to do with the parameters stored in NVRAM. If not, I don't bother zapping it.
For instance, if an application is crashing, there is a slim chance that would be affected by anything in parameter RAM. I'll look for corrupted preferences or odd file/folder permissions/ACLs first.
But if I am having trouble getting a display or startup disk to be recognized, resetting NVRAM would be higher on the list of things to try because those can be affected by the NVRAM settings.

Can a key command send a program change message to a AU Synth?

I know you can do it to scroll the presets of the logic presets, but can you set up a key command to change the sound on eg Korg Legacy Collection?

I don't think so.
But you may utilize the capslock keyboard.
Just transform in the environment its note on messages into program changes.

Are the default key commands completely different in L9 compared to L8?

Hi Guys,
I have had to reset my key commands to the defaults, and seem to have lost all my old key commands.
My commands with Logic 8 were the absolute default ones (I didn't change any of them!!) - here are some of the ones I used a lot:
Pressing 0 on the numeric keyboard was always stop. "/" on the numeric keyboard was always cycle on/cycle off.
Pressing control and using the up/down/left/ right arrows (the ones in between the QWERTY keyboard and the number pad) always zoomed in and out, vertically and horizontally respectively...
Pressing the "C" key was always click on/click off. Now it's cycle on/off.
My question is... can someone confirm that the Logic 9 default key commands are completely different, and that these shortcuts above have all gone?
I know I can set them up again, I guess I'm just puzzled that so many of the main commands would completely change their defaults for L9!
Cheers and thanks,
Mike

Some of the more in-depth key commands have changed slightly , but the standard ones are still the same.
Most of these you've described are ( or should be still ) exactly the same.
Make sure that you are still using the standard keyboard layout and language in *'Apple/system preferences/international/input menu'*
Mine swiched to German a few months ago and I had no idea what was going on.

What is the default key command for the COMMAND key?I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key it hides all windows or shows desk top I need to correct this as soon as possible-.any ideas?

What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Go to
 > System Preferences > Keyboard
Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

Close one tab at a time with key commands

Hi all,
I'm a big key command guy. I think I've figured out most things so I rarely have to go for the trackball and leave the keyboard.
But recently (I think since an upgrade to Safari, but I can't be 100% sure), my previous command-W that used to close the frontmost tab now closes the entire window...bummed! How do I get my key command back?
Thanks all.

Start with resetting all shortcuts to their defaults, restarting, and see if that fixes the problem. As I said, it works here w/o any changes made, so I suspect you or some other app mucked things up.

PUZZLER: How to assign the TAB key to a key command

For the past 11 years I've had the TAB key assigned to "record toggle". But in L8 I can't seem to make this k/command assignment occur... Even when the learn function is activated in the k/commands window, whenever I hit the TAB key to assign it to the currently highlighted key command, it simply changes the focus of the cursor, moving it from the highlighted command to the search field.
Looking for a clue... anyone?

do you remember losing the function keys when tiger came out?
Yeah, I remember losing F14 and F15. They still don't work. But I've since figured out that those keys are reserved for adjusting the brightness on various Apple laptops, and I think also some other models. However, it doesn't apply to someone like, er, um, me who has a desktop-model Mac and a 3rd-party monitor which doesn't have a brightness control that responds to... you guessed it, F14 and F15. So those keys are dead, 'cept for my modifier key variants.
I tried importing my L7 prefs and sure enough, my L7 TAB assignment worked just fine. But I quickly reverted to my saved L8 prefs cuz I didn't want to take a chance of corrupting something or other because of an "illegal" key command assignment.
So I guess it's time to find another key for "record toggle". TAB is going to be an 11 year-old habit that's gonna die hard, I can tell...

__ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?

__ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?
By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!
Thanks,

Randomly changing Display Profiles during user switch

I keep my MBP Display Profile set to "Color LCD" (which is the default, I think -- System Preferences>Displays>Color>"Color LCD")
Sometimes, and it seems intermittent and random, when I do a fast user switch from my wife's profile (also set on "Color LCD") to mine, right after the rotation animation finishes, the setting randomly changes to "Generic RGB Profile" and all the colors skew blue. Very annoying.
Any idea what's causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

Hmmm... Well, that seems to be a decent description of the symptoms, although what's happening on my screen is a lot more dramatic than what they describe in the article. Also, I don't believe I'm using a custom color profile.
I'll try the DMProxy trick and see what happens. Thanks for the tip.

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l nudge cursor

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.

It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

HT2477 Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad

Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad?

It's the button (key) that is labelled Control.
Each of the modifier keys and similar keys has its own symbol; this makes listing command keys easier to do. The Command key is usually the only key which has its symbol printed on the key. If you open Keyboard Viewer (in the Input menu, the one which displays the flag in the main menu bar), you can see what symbol refers to which key.

Bridge, changing key commands?

Bridge, can you change the key commands? Would like to change com-E (eject) to a different command.
Thanks Andrew

Don't think changing shortcuts is an option.

Key commands changed

What has happened in Logic 9 to the key command "Tie Regions By Position Change" . I have imported my Logic 8 Key commands & several have changed but I constantly use this key command. Can anyone help ?

No I spoke too soon, it's been a nightmare. With 3 or 4 regions it works in a predictable way, but larger than that I can't predict what its doing. Regions jump to new positions that I dont want.
I do lots of editing of tracks not synced to Logic, I put lots of regions in the order I want them, (on a track in the arrange page). With "Tie regions by position change" they kept in the same order of there start position but in one go buffered up next to each other.
Using "Shuffle regions left within selection" with lots of regions, jumps some regions several places to the right & each press can further shuffle the regions
But if I go back to Logic 8 the key command applies to "Tie regions by position change" & it behaves as expected

Some Logic key commands cannot be changed or???

Hi!
Now i know that Logic copyng region when i drag it by holding Option key
So how i can reassign this key (to command key for example)?
I cant find this command in commands list
Please help!

You can't.
Logic's key commands are only re-configurable to within certain limits.
OPT+dragging to make a copy of something is a standard Mac way of doing things. This can't be changed.

Firefox 4 tab-switching hot keys not registering?

When I watch videos online via YouTube or other streaming or flash media, the tab switching keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+2, Cmd+3, etc.) will not switch to the desired tab. I have to click on some blank space on the side of the website in order for it to register. Anyone else experience this?

My suggestion is to ask over on the Mozilla forums why FF 4.0 doesn't cooperate well with the graphics swtiching, or what can you do to keep it not demanding the dGPU.
Have you tried using NoScript to block scripts from running, might reduce the dGPU dmeand some from Flash etc.
I haven't been able to find centralized forums at Mozilla, unless I'm looking in the wrong place. Their support system seems very decentralized - you post a problem and it sits out in cyberspace until someone stumbles upon it. You can't browse like a traditional message board, I can't even categorize it so people can better find it. But yes, I have posted the problem in their "system" and didn't get much help there other than someone suggesting gfxCardStatus to toggle manually (not exactly a fix like I said).
I've heard of some people trying to use NoScript to block flash (flash is the culprit in a lot of websites that sap battery life surreptitiously but I haven't tried it personally. My issue with trying NoScript is that it is just another "workaround" and not a solution. NoScript will undoubtedly have unintended side effects/consequences where websites just don't display right or "work properly" and I'll probably end up having to toggle it on and off -- no different than fiddling around with gfxCardStatus to turn the discrete dGPU on and off.
Ditto to disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox 4 options (which actually doesn't fix the problem of the dGPU being wrongly activated, and ends up causing more problems than it solves).
