Using Delete Key on Files in Collections

Is there a way to get the delete key to delete a file from a collection WITHOUT deleting the underlying file? I know right-click remove does this, but I wanted an easier way.
I never want to delete a file from my system when viewing it in a collection.
[Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5.11]
Thanks,

No, you do have to use the remove button at the top of the content panel for doing so

You are right, it should not even be possible to delete the underlying file from a collection, this is a major flaw in the design of collections to my opinion. Deleting should only affect the alias in the collection not the underlying file itself.
You can set the delete key to either remove or reject (this is a choice you get after default install and hitting delete key) but that's it.

  • Using "delete" key on Apple's wireless keyboard shut down applications on my ipad, such as Mail, in Japanese Font.  Any solution?

    I use Apple's wireless keyboard to type email messages on my ipad.  Often applications, such as Mail, would shut down suddenly after using "delete" key on the wireless keyboard.  This happens when I am typing in Japanese language.  It is really annoying because I will lose all the text that are not saved.  Any suggestions? 

    Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

    Similar issues have been filed against netbeans and mostly they seem to happen when the keybindings have been modified:
    - http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=68151
    This is a bug in new Options dialog. To make it work, just delete the wrongly
    defined shortcuts in xmls in ~/.netbeans/dev/config.
    - http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67351
    btw, can you run creator with a different userdir (by renaming the existing userdir) and see if the problem still persists? If it does not, then it would mean there is some keybinding setting in the current user directory that is causing this problem.

  • Use delete keys in custom key shortcuts?

    I know there are OS X shortcuts that use the delete key, like "cmd + del" to "move to trash" and with Panther I could use the delete keys in keyboard shortcuts. But when I try to use the delete key or keys like "home" or "page down" in System Preferences to make shortcut, it just makes a "TINK" noise.
    Is it possible to use these "TINK" keys, maybe by editing com files or something?
    I would like to change the "move to trash" to just del instead of "cmd + del" as I don't like to use two hands to delete something.
    And I also made a service with automator to launch Activity Monitor, and I would like to make the shortcut as "^ + cmd + del" as I am used to launching task manager in Windows with a similar hand gesture.

    I would like to change the "move to trash" to just del instead of "cmd + del" as I don't like to use two hands to delete something.
    To use just one hand for that, if you are using a Magic Mouse just right-click on the file and select "Move to Trash" from the contextual menu that appears.
    I would not try to tinker with that Command-Delete button in the manner you describe. Reason - say you are renaming a file, enter a wrong character and press Delete to remove the character - the file might disappear into the Trash.
    Likewise, working in any text app, such as TextEdit or a word-processor, or in a spreadsheet, might get weird if Delete no longer does what is expected by the program.

  • Can't delete messages using delete key in Outlook 2007

    After upgrading to Exchange 2010, we are seeing an intermittent problem where users in Outlook 2007 can't delete messages from their inbox using the delete key.  Opening the message and clicking delete from there will delete it from the inbox. 
    They can also drag the messages from the inbox to deleted items. 
    The issue comes and goes during the day.  One minute delete will work and then it won't and then it will again.
    Thanks,
    Crystal

    Hi Crystal,
    How many uses have the issue?
    Did you check the Outlook add-in or Anti-Virus application?
    Please check whether there is any error/warning event in the Event Viewer.
    Please recreate the Outlook profile for user if possible.
    Please try to run the cmdlet New-MailboxRepairRequest.

  • Layer Styles and using Delete Key PSE4

    Hello,
    Slowly getting getting to know PSE4, will take more time. Finding lots of tips here in this forum and other similiar forums and sites.
    Have two quick Questions:
    1. It was mentioned "Jodi's Spedia Layer Styles". Is this a tutorial or actual styles? More info on this would be appreciated.
    2. When doing the last stage of a vignette, I had to use the backspace or delete key. I found this out by reading in this forum. Where is that documented in the Help? Is the backspace/delete key the only way, or is there a menu/mouse click also?
    Using XP Pro SP2
    TonyC

    Hi and thanks everyone for the replies. I will have to take another look in the Help Section, I looked everywhere and could not find that shortcut listed. Maybe I was looking for Backspace, and should be looking for Delete.
    I will be contacting Jodi shortly via email.
    Am confused about the "Adobe Photoshop Elements One-Click Wow by Jack Davis, ISBN 0-321-30468-3." Is this a book? Doing a web search all I can find is a book. Can someone send me a good link for more info on this. If actual styles and layers, will it work in PSE4?
    Something else: Please don't take this the wrong way, but I like to know is the subscription worth getting? I'm 50/50 on getting it or not.
    Thanks again!

  • If I delete a message using delete key, AND the "Find in this message" box is open, should the focus switch to the search box, or remain in the message list?

    If the "Find in this message" search box has been left open, but I have selected a message in the message pane, if I use the delete key to delete the current message, the focus moves to the "Find" box. It took me a while to figure out why the focus did not remain in the message list so I could delete the next message. I can regain the desired behavior by closing the search box, but it would be nice to not need to. This is on a Windows 7 OS. I should check to see how it behaves on a Linux box.

    Hi,
    for the Points 
    Sometime I think I would like it if I could delete an iMessage completely.
    Other times when reading them on my iPhone I wish to leave them until I can answer them with something that is on my Mac.
    It seems that as a device or a Mac that is off line can "catch up" on iMessages sent within a few hours would suggest that the iMessages are held on the server for a period.
    It would be handy for different levels of "deletion".

  • I accidentally deleted hidden system files! Please help!

    Hi guys.
    Well after purchasing a mint MBP today running Mountain Lion, I wanted to "tidy up" the desktop and Finder. I saw many hidden files and thought it was very peculiar as my iMac hasn't got anything of the kind. I thought it could have been some files from a USB that were left there from previous usage. Anyway, I've ended up deleting key system files which now causes the MacBook to fail boot and keep restarting.
    I've attempted the highly recommended "Command R" function which gave me a choice of Time Machine Restore (system comes up with no backups), re-installation of Lion (which won't work because the system is running Mountain Lion) and a Disk Utility repair (which does its job but makes no difference on start up). I feel really upset and annoyed. The system had great installations of key apps I needed. I'd be sad to loose them but would be happy to just get the system rebooted and running from scratch.
    The system is a late 15" 2011 MACBOOK PRO with an i7 Quad 2.44 (or 2.66) processor, 4GB memory and a 750GB hard drive.
    What can I do? Is it just a case of take it to Apple so they can reboot it for you? And if that's the case will I be charged?
    Many thanks for the advice.
    Apologies if this is something you have heard before, it's a horrible feeling and I just want it fixed.
    Thanks.
    Hal.

    To install Lion that belongs to you will require you to repartition the drive first. You cannot do a simple reinstall of Lion over a Mountain Lion system. You will need to follow this guide instead:
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This is the procedure you must go through because your hard drive does not have a Lion version of the Recovery HD.

  • Strange problem with key map file 10.1.2

    Here is the entry in cgicmd.dat when running showmap:
    ssipdf: userid=user@conn destype=cache desformat=pdf report=%1 %*
    Here is the URL:
    http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?ssipdf&refcritd.rdf&projectid=76

    Where are these equal signs getting appended to the filename coming from??
    I know the report exists and works, because if I manually enter all the params in the URL the report runs fine.
    This was working in 9.0.4 and I copied the same cgicmd.dat file from that version.
    Any ideas?

  • Delete key problem

    Hi All,
    I am new to MacBook, I recently bought a 15" MacBook Pro. Lately, my girlfriend found that if press delete for more than 3 seconds then release it. The shutdown menu pops up, it is annoying since we use delete key frequently to delete the texts. We tried to look for keybinding at keyboard settings. There is no such option. I know that for the shutdown menu, you need to press Control+Eject, not delete. Is my MacBook Pro faulty? Thanks.

    Yes, it sounds like you have a hardware problem.

  • KEY MAP FILE - To hide user id and password

    I have read all the documentation on hiding your connection details from the URL using the key map file, but I have a problem:
    I have several reports which all use the same user id and connection string. So all I want in my key file is the connection string, but because I don't specify a report in the key file I get an error.
    In my cgicmd.dat file I have the following:
    MyKeyName: USERID=my_user/my_password@my_database
    However when I call the reports from a URL like so:
    http://my_server/reports/rwservlet?MyKeyName&report=my_report
    I get the error saying that no report is specified on the command line. Surely I don't have to create a key map file entry for every single report with REPORT=report_name????
    I have also tried this URL which also gives me the same error:
    http://my_server/reports/rwservlet?report=my_report&cmdkey=MyKeyName

    Nr. 299696,
    You are almost there. What you are looking for is a characters to put behind your key to enable that users specifies there parameters. In your case Reports name.
    Please check cgicmd.dat for the correct characters. In the file there's lots of examples, so just search.
    It might be ?* like
    MyKeyName: USERID=my_user/my_password@my_database ?*
    However, I'm not 100% sure on that and I don't have an environment right now to check. Please check the cgicmd.dat for the correct one, and then please update this thread.

  • When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
    tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

  • Use of Delete key

    I use a Microsoft keyboard with my Mac. Can someone tell me how I can get my Delete key to Move objects to the Trash?
    TIA,
    David
    p.s. I looked at Ukelele but there didn't seem to be any way of creating a binding for the delete key.

    Hold the keys marked in red below after selecting a file, and it will automatically be moved to the trash. The sequence of holding the keys matters. The left one is held down first and without letting go of the left one, hold down the right key.
    Also when posting a link, the future use text describing the link without the space before and after the < and > shown.

  • How to open files with "return" key and delete files with "delete" key?

    Hi friends,
    It's been over a week since I got my iMac and I'm loving it. However, while I'm adapting alright to 'mac' key shortcuts (e.g. using the COMMAND-S for save as opposed to CONTROL-S used in PC).
    However, there are 2 things that are annoying me greatly right now.
    1. I like selecting files with keys as opposed to using the mouse. I make animations and prefer keyboard shortcuts. However, when I hit "return", instead of opening the file it goes into file-renaming mode. How do I change this? Likewise, I would like to delete files by hitting the delete key. This does not work - how do I change this?
    2. When I click SHIFT key sometimes, it gets 'stuck' - which is annoying because I start typing CAPITALS when I wasn't aware I've activated the CAP-LOCK key. How do I get rid of this? Like, I don't want to hit SHIFT for instance, and have that up arrow thing 'stuck' there.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi
    Thanks for the star.
    If you went into Mac Help & searched, 2 results come up:
    Full keyboard access shortcuts for interacting with items (for selecting & activating controls).
    Full keyboard navigation keyboard shortcuts (for navigating Desktop, Windows, Menu bar etc)
    From the lists, select the link that closely describes your situation.
    I have to say that I can't reproduce your problem, does this happen just in applications or in everything? I don't know if it's to do with this but pressing Shift 5 times turns on Sticky Keys & Option(Alt) 5 times to turn on Mouse Keys (System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard).
    After typing "Sticky Keys" into Mac Help, I found this:
    "Pressing a group of modifier keys as a sequence
    To perform many tasks on your computer, you need to press one or more modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option, and Control) at the same time as another key. For example, pressing Shift-Command-Q in the Finder opens the Logout dialog.
    If you have difficulty pressing several keys at once, you can make it easier to press a set of keys by turning on Sticky Keys in the Universal Access preferences pane. With Sticky Keys turned on, you can press a set of modifier keys as a sequence. As you press each key, the symbol for the modifier key appears on the screen.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Universal Access. Then click Keyboard.
    Select the On button next to Sticky Keys.
    To hear a sound whenever the computer registers that you have pressed a modifier key, select "Beep when a modifier key is set."
    To see an icon indicating which modifier keys you have pressed, select "Display pressed keys on screen."
    You can also use Slow Keys to adjust the amount of time between when you press a key and when it is activated."
    Any of this close to your problem?
    Steve
    Edit: I'm right, it's Sticky Keys:
