Text shortcuts no longer work in iOS6

I have erased and renetered my shortcuts to see if that would do it and it still doesnt. Does anyone have a solution for this, or am I doing something wrong? Shortscuts are enabled as far as I can tell, my list is populated and it just doesnt registered in SMS, EMAIL, or NOTES so far.
Thanks

As another note, I hope they include the option to remove Siri from the keyboard soon! I like the use of Siri, but I don't like the stupid mic button on the keyboard, makes hitting the numbers frustrating not to mention the annoying chime noise it makes regardless of whether your phone is on silent or not!

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

Spacebar/hand tool shortcut no longer working

Hi,
I almost constantly use the hand tool toggle shortcut of the space bar in Illustrator. Today I've turned on my work machine and for some unknown reason that shortcut no longer works. When I try to set it up again (it's reverted to H and is no longer toggling, it just turns the hand tool on which is useless to me really) it tells me that 'the key pressed cannot be used as a shortcut'.
What's going on?

Sounds like a corruption or conflict.
Have you installed any new software of any kind including fonts?
have you updated any software of any kind?
have you launched recently software that you have noyt used previously?
Have you tried to create a new user account and logging into that account to see if it happens with a fresh user account?
If creating a new user accounts eliminates the prblem than you have some conflict or corruption could be your settings folder.
It would be helpful if you give us some information about your system and hardware.
Here is how clear out your preferences
Mac
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS# Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
PC
1. Quit Illustrator.
2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

IOS6 keyboard shortcuts no longer work

am I the only one with this problem??? since updating to iOS6, my keyboard shortcuts do not work....at all. Then, having switched everything to iPhone 5, keyboard shortcuts still do NOT work at all. I've tried everything I can think of... power cycle, restart, re-sync. anyone else having this issue???

IDK if this will help, I turned documents off in icloud and they worked, but when I toggle or turn documents on....no luck. I read in a separate post to uninstall and then reinstall emoji.....I really don't want to delete and reneter all my shortcuts I have at least 10 for every letter. Has anyone tryed the emoji un/reinstall? I'm fine with the documents being off in icloud......for now. I hope this helps someone.

Why do keyboard short cuts no longer work with ios6?

I use Keyboard Shortcuts very often.. Well, I did use them often with iOS5...
How is it that with iOS6, it comes with omw = on my way preprogrammed but auto correct assumes you're trying to spell "one."
This issue along with the Maps debacle is very frustrating to deal with. Is this the start of the downfall of Apple? It seems like a small detail but if a small issue like this is overlooked, what else will be forgotten about?

Further to the above point. ALL of my previously used shortcuts are no longer working.

Some Keyboard Shortcuts No Longer Working in Apps

Recently, two specific keyboard shortcuts have stopped working within all my apps:
command-1
command-2
For example, in Final Draft they are supposed to switch formatting to become scene headings and action lines, respectively. All the other command shortcuts still work. In Word, I have command-1 through command-6 commands set to change text colors. Command-1 and command-2 no longer work but the rest stil function properly.
All of my shortcuts worked perfectly for well over a year. Anyone know why two of them might have stopped all of a sudden?
Thanks in advance,
---Tim

Ignore the permissions messages, as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Here's the second way:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

Mail Accounts Shortcut no longer working in Lion

In Snow Leopard I heavily relied on some custom shortcuts for switching between my different email accounts when sending mail as outlined in this site: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20081120093222315 . Then I upgraded to Lion and much to my chagrin, these shortcuts are no longer working. I have tried everything to get them to work: resetting passwords to defaults, repairing permissions, deleting my universal access and keyboard .plist files. What I have noticed is that it may be a problem with the "<>" characters used by mail in this field. When I create a shortcut in System Preferences I will type "SV <[email protected]>" and exit System Preferences. When I go back in it says ">SV <[email protected]>". No matter how many times I go in and try to fix this it doesn't work. If anyone else is having this problem or if anyone has any suggestions, Please Help!

This is difficult to sort out without hands on access to the webapp. I think Firefox should still allows your webapp to detect the Shift+F9, or at least it does in this simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Test Shift+F9</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Try Shift+F9<br><input type="text" name="textinput" size="25" value="sample value"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keys(key){
if (!key) {
key = window.event;
key.which = key.keyCode;
if (key.which == 120){ // F9 key
if (key.shiftKey){
alert("Shift+F9 pressed!");
} else {
alert("F9 pressed without Shift!");
return false;
document.onkeyup = keys;
document.body.focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>
It's possible that a change in Firefox 19 is interfering with the function triggered by the Shift+F9 keyboard shortcut. Is there another way to run it to see whether that might be the case?

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work. Not only that I can't change them either. If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in. My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.
I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).
Any idea how to fix this?

If you want to go through all the steps I took:
1. Restart
2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)
3. Reset keyboard dictionary
4. Reset all settings
5. Clear autofill
Only after the last step did things start working. Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take. Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app. In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.

Superscript shortcut no longer working

Initially the shortcut for superscript worked but, it is no longer working. I have to use format/font/baseline/superscript to turn on and off. A real pain without the shortcut.
During one of my Pages classes the instructor added the character map to the tool bar and ever since the shortcut does not work. Not sure it really has anything to do with it.

What shortcut are you using? The standard shortcut, which works here, is Control & Command & +. That is the + key next to the 6 on the number pad part of the keyboard. If you have a laptop, or the small keyboard without the number pad, or you want to use the alphabetic part of the keyboard, then the combination is Shift & Control & Command & =.

Keyboard shortcut no longer working in webapp after FF19 was installed

I work with a company webapp that uses the keyboard shortcut Shift+F9 to populate text boxes. Prior to Firefox version 19 upgrade on my Windows 7 PC, the shortcut worked just fine. After the upgrade, the shortcut stopped working. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, still shortcut does not work. I have run in Safe mode, still no shortcut. Disabled Add-ons, still no shortcut.
I uninstalled FF19 altogether and installed FF18. The shortcut worked just fine once again. All Add-ons intact. FF auto upgraded itself to ver 19 and the shortcut stopped working again.
I also use IE8 with the same webapp and the shortcut works just fine. Any reason why FF19 has disabled this shortcut feature? I asked our company admin of the webapp we use and he has not heard of this issue happening until now.

This is difficult to sort out without hands on access to the webapp. I think Firefox should still allows your webapp to detect the Shift+F9, or at least it does in this simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Test Shift+F9</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Try Shift+F9<br><input type="text" name="textinput" size="25" value="sample value"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keys(key){
if (!key) {
key = window.event;
key.which = key.keyCode;
if (key.which == 120){ // F9 key

alert("Shift+F9 pressed!");
} else {
alert("F9 pressed without Shift!");
return false;
document.onkeyup = keys;
document.body.focus();

After update to 6 shortcuts no longer work in message

hello everyone,
I have a peculiar message problem which I noticed right after updating to iOS 6. The shortcuts I used in message no longer work. I checked in settings and they are all still there but they are not active. I have so far tried deleting and re-creating one of the shortcuts, closing and re-launching the message app, and turning my phone off and re-starting it. All to no avail. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks for reading, and for your support...
Tim

This is what I did step by step and it worked like a charm... I had an iPhone 4 when I did this a few days ago. I have documents and data ON in iCloud...
1. write down or take screenshots of all existing shortcuts
2. delete all shortcuts
3. backup to iCloud (I think this clears all shortcuts you have stored in iCloud)
4. go back to settings-->general-->keyboard... You may notice one or a few generic shortcuts pop up on their own. The one that popped up for me was OMW (on my way)
5. re enter all of your shortcuts and phrases
6. when done, back up again to iCloud (stores your new shortcuts)
I restarted my phone. Shortcuts still worked. I just got a 4S and restored from the iCloud backup mentioned in step 6 and my shortcuts worked on my new phone.
Good Luck. I hope this helps everyone.

Copyallurls ctrl+alt+c shortcut no longer working

After upgrading from Firefox 30 the shortcut ctrl+alt+c to copy all urls no longer works with the extension copyallurls. However, copying all urls still works if I use it from the edit menu or right click menu (it adds entries in those locations). Using another shortcut ctrl+alt+v for pasting urls still works fine. Still happens on a fresh install with it being the only extension.
These entries appear in the browser console:
Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="c" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="x" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="o" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="c" modifiers="accel,alt" browser.xul
Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="v" modifiers="control alt" browser.xul
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately this add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copyallurls/?src=search Copy All Urls] is not available for version 33.

Basic Panel Keyboard Shortcut No Longer Works

For some reason when I try to use the keyboard shortcut (command 1) to return to the basic panel it no longer works. Any ideas?

Is there a keyboard shortcut in your operating system for Cmd-1? This would most likely override the Lightroom keyboard shortcut.
Also, you can try deleting your preference file: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html

Why don't text shortcuts don't work in OS X for Thunderbird

In Mail and other apps, on my Mac Book Pro, as well as my iPad, I set up and can use text shortcuts such as typing 'in2' and it expanding to 'I'll be there in 2'. It even works in Outlook for Mac, which I really don't care for. Why doesn't it work for Thunderbird? I really like the look and feel of Thunderbird, but this is a deal breaker for me. I use a lot of repetitive phrases.
Thank you.

Try this add-on.
