Using the control key to scale to a certain size proportionally without it being locked

In illustrator CS5 if there is a particular size you want to enter, after entering the size in the width you could hold down the control key and it would scale everything proportionally without the lock button being on. I cant seem to get CS6 to do this feature. Is there a way to get this feature back?

Update to Illustrator to get to 16.05. I assume you are on PC since you said CTRL and not Command.
Adobe - Illustrator : For Windows  
I leave the transform palette with the lock off
So that I can use the hot key as you mentioned and that would scale proportionately as if the hot key was held down
Uninstall any 3rd party Illustrator or Windows plug ins that may be interfering with this.
Also wanted to make sure you are holding down the CTRL key while you hit enter to accept the value.
Select item(s)
change either width or height
hold down CTRL on windows
Hit return or enter
Release CTRL

  • Disable the need of the function key when using the control key

    I'm often using the F1-12 keys when using an IDE for developing. Those IDE's use the CTR+F1-12 shortcuts quite a bit and it's always needed to use FN+CTR+F1-12 which is ridiculous and redundant. Is there a way to keep using the functions assigned to F1-12 (Adjust volume, brightness...) without pressing the function key and be able of using CTR or ALT +F1-12 without the need of pressing the function key?

    According to the system help text it is possible. And for me it works as described in the help text on my MacBook Pro.
    But on my  Mac Pro (late 2013) the relevant control (“Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys”) is missing form System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Keyboard.
    From the help text for the topic "Use keyboard function keys:"
    If you frequently use the alternate function of a function key, you can switch the keyboard so that the function keys perform the alternate function without your pressing Fn. You then hold down Fn to use a function key’s original hardware control function. If your keyboard doesn’t have an Fn key, try holding down the Control key.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
    Open Keyboard preferences
    Select the “Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” checkbox.

  • What am I doing to make my screen zoom in while I  am using my mouse?  It zooms to about double size, and using the control key and mouse will not return it to its former size.

    When I am searching the internet and using my mouse, my screen will suddenly zoom in to about double size.  Clicking control and mousing will not return it back to where it was.  I have no idea what I am doing to cause this to happen or how to reverse it.

    Hi.
    If you're using a Magic Mouse, a double tap on the mouse with one finger will zoom.
    Double tap again to unzoom.

  • Using the control keys ( talk & end)

    Is there a way to assign functions to these buttons. I know how to manipulate all of the other buttons but these two. If so could someone please help me out.

    In the keyPressed method, try outputting the keyCode to the console using System.out.println(keyCode)

  • How can I copy a webpage that will not let me highlight it, i.e. use the control c key strokes?

    How can I take a picture of a webpage that will not let me use the control C copy command? In other words, on this particular website, I try to highlight a passage that I want to save and put in a document, but the highlighting will not work. I asked them about that, and they simply said they did not have that facility, but I think the issue is protecting their copyrighted material. I know there is some way to take a picture of the page, and then I can use my picture editing software to crop it and enlarge it.

    Are you trying to take a "snapshot" in a PDF?
    If the part of the page or PDF you want to capture is fully visible, you can use the Windows print screen function to capture it. Either use the Print Screen key to capture the entire monitor display, or Alt+Print Screen to capture the active window.
    If you need to do this often, or if you want to save the snapshot straight to disk, or if you need more than fits in a single Windows screen shot, an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/fireshot/ Fireshot] can be handy.

  • EKM using the Azure Key Vault is now available for SQL Database and SQL Server running in Azure VM's

    In preview today, you can create keys in the Azure Key Vault, and use them with Azure SQL Database, or SQL Server running in a Azure VM. Use the Extensible Key Management (EKM) for TDE, backup encryption, or cell level encryption. For more information, see
    Extensible Key Management Using Azure Key Vault (SQL Server)
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn198405.aspx.

    Key Vault offers an easy, cost-effective way to safeguard keys and other sensitive data used by cloud applications and services. Included are the following features:
    Enhance data protection and compliance:
    Protect cryptographic keys and sensitive data   like passwords with keys stored in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). For   added assurance, import or generate your keys in HSMs certified to FIPS 140-2   level 2 and Common Criteria EAL4 standards,
    so that keys stay within the HSM   boundary. Key Vault is designed so that Microsoft doesn’t see or extract your   keys.
    All the control, none of the work:
    Provision new vaults and keys in minutes   and centrally manage keys, sensitive data, and policies. You maintain control   over your encrypted data—simply grant permission for your own and third-party   applications to use keys as needed. Enable
    developers to easily manage keys   used for dev/test and migrate seamlessly to production keys managed by   security operations.
    Boost performance and achieve global scale: Improve
    performance and reduce latency of   cloud applications by storing cryptographic keys in the cloud (versus   on-premises). Key Vault rapidly scales to meet the cryptographic needs of   your cloud applications and match peak demand.
    Get started with Azure Key Vault by creating keys for applications you develop,
    SQL Server encryption (TDE, CLE, and Backup), and partner solutions like
    CloudLink SecureVM.
    Key Vault is available now at no charge with discounted preview pricing starting on January 15, 2015.

  • Why can't I use the tab key to highlight links on a webpage?

    In previous versions of FF and in other browsers, I can use the tab key to navigate through all the links on a webpage - I can't seem to do this with FF5, the tab key will only highlight the address bar, search bar, and any form fields within a webpage.
    Using the tab key to navigate through links on a page is an accessibility feature, and I often use it to show hidden skip links at the top of a webpage for users who prefer to use the keyboard over a mouse and for assistive technologies.
    Is this something that can be turned back on in preferences? Or is there a reason why it was removed from this version?

    It can be fixed in Mac OS X Tiger preferences (Keyboard -> "all controls") or try a ctr-F7

  • How do you navigate dialogue boxes using the tab key in Photoshop CS6 on Mac OS X Mavericks?

    I know that seems really 101 and obvious, but I worked in Photoshop on a PC for many years, and using the tab key to navigate through every field/radial button/dropdown menu/etc. was never an issue. On the Mac OS X however, it only navigates through certain fields within a dialogue box. And before the guaranteed suggestion to change my Mac OS X Keyboard preferences to allow full keyboard access to "All Controls" instead of "Text Boxes and Lists Only", I have already tried this setting which did not resolve my issue.
    Does/has anyone out there worked between both platforms and had this issue as well? I'm a Mac guy through and through, but I must say, this is the one thing that I think PC has a slight edge on. It's incredibly frustrating to have my keyboard workflow interrupted because I can't simply tab over to a certain field that is in a dialogue box which I'm currently working in...
    Here are my details:
    Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6)
    Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
    Applies to all filetypes as the issue is regarding dialogue boxes and not files themselves.
    No error message.
    Normal use.
    It works on PC, but not on Mac.
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor
    8 GB of memory
    719 GB of space available on my main HD
    This has never worked in any version of Photoshop I have used on any version of Mac OS X, but has worked consistently on every version of Photoshop that I have used on every version of Windows I've used (up to Windows 7)
    I hope this provides enough information to get the ball rolling on this. I fear that there is no answer that will resolve the issue, but before I throw in the towel, I figured it was worth trying this forum since my web searches have turned up absolutely nothing of help.
    Thanks in advance for your time and help.
    Best,
    Tim

    Thanks for your input.  Since Safe Mac's Adware Removal tool has done a very good job of cleaning out the junk and
    letting me run better, I'm happy for now.
    However, I appreciate your judgement and I am working on evaluating Safari vs FireFox vs Chrome.  I've had some trouble using FireFox with
    LastPass which works very well under Chrome.  But that is only one data point.  Most of my Ram troub;e os related to the number of windows
    and tabs I open.  I've tried comparing the three browsers for how back each reacts.
    I multiply windows and tabs because as I surf the web, I discover things I want and don't want to lose them.  However, I need a tool more useful
    and structured than bookmarks to be able to record things of interest to make them easy to return to and find later.

  • Not able to use the Tab key to Tab indent when within a text edit window...

    Two questions please... First one is above for the tab function. In Safari I just need to press control+option+tab to indent a tab within a text edit box on a website. This function is being used more via cloud and mobile capability.
    Second... I can, in Safari, Copy and paste a site with tables. Works great in Safari. When I try to do this in FF I lose the formatting of the tables and it just give plain text without the tabled fields.
    I would love to use FF because the compatibility if much greater than Safari, but... I need my functionality as well to do my work to the best and quickest ability.
    Thank you

    Help About says I'm on 20.0.1
    Up until last week, I was able to use the tab key when typing emails and other multi-line text boxes.
    Suddenly the behavior of the tab key changed. This isn't the first time. It's been quite a while ago that the function of the tab key changed from indenting to moving around the page, then after some time it changed back to indenting.
    Can we get this fixed and leave it alone, please?
    I may give one of those add-ins a try, but my problem with add-ins is that they break when FF is patched or upgraded, then I'm left with out the solution they provide.
    Can we just fix Firefox, please?
    Thanks,
    Frank
    P.S. Another potential fix I came across suggested starting FF in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. It does not. It seems to be a change to FF that appeared after an update last week. On or just befor 24 Apr.

  • I need to use the "apple key" which is, I presume the command key, but I do not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the purpose?

    I need to use the "Apple key" which I presume is the command key; my computer does not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the same purpose?

    The "Windows flag" key on PC keyaboard in Commans, "Alt" is option.
    Go to Logitech website to see if they have Mac compatibility software (Logictech Control Center) to make mappings a bit more complex).

    The FN buttons are controlled by Common Modules running Win XP.

  • Detection of the control Key down when application start

    I need to detect if the control key is down when my program start. This program was created with CVI 5.0. Would you tell me how to do it under WIN 9x et NT/2000. Regards

    Normally, for any other key you could just set up a callback function for your panel and set up a case statement for the EVENT_KEYPRESS value for the event type. Or do the same on the initial control that has focus. However, this does not work for the control key, because it does not generate an EVENT_KEYPRESS. Therefore, giving you no option through the normal CVI user interface capabilities.
    Now, you might be able to detect the keypress through windows messaging if you use the function InstallWinMsgCallback found in the Programmer's Toolbox library (toolbox.fp in cvi\toolslib\toolbox) and set up a callback function to look for the message that the control key generates for a window. Other than that, you might have to use some Windows SDK functions, that wait for a keypr
    ess to happen.

  • Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

    Loading flat files from a server with OWB
    I am successful loading files with OWB, as long as they resided on my workstation in the C:\ drive. I copied the files to a Linux server into directories owned by Oracle/oinstall, permissions on the directories containing the files are 777. I ran the OWB client from the server with the following results:

    Hi
    This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
    1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
    2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
    3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
    Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
    Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
    Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
    Hope this helps
    Kind Regards

  • Can I use the CD key more than once?

    I bought Lightroom as a Christmas present for my husband this year, but his laptop was stolen recently. It will be a few months before we can afford getting him a new one, and I want him to still be able to use Lightroom until then, so I was considering installing it on my computer, if it will do so (my computer is getting a bit old). But I don't want to do that unless he'll still be able to use the CD key to install it on a new laptop once we get him one. I've never had to worry about installing software on more than one computer, so I'm not completely sure of myself here. Any advice?

    LR’s license, like most Adobe products’ licenses, is for one person on two different computers, with a desktop and a laptop or a work computer and a home computer being the typical examples, as long as only one of those computers is used at a time.
