Why do keyboard shortcuts for menu items created in System Preferences appear in Firefox menus but not work?

Given that Firefox does not obey the System Preferences custom keyboard shortcuts, why does it still display those shortcuts in the menus, thereby incorrectly telling users that they will work?
This issue was raised 6 months ago, but the only posted answer did not explain why the menus reflect the shortcuts that Firefox doesn't obey.

Outlines are discussed in a series of articles beginning with Creating an Outline in Chapter 5 of the Pages '09 User Guide. A similar set of articles, beginning with Creating Lists follows immediately.
Reading through the articles, I don't see any mention of a keyboard shortcut or menu item related to moving an item up or down in the list. A search through Pages '09's menus was also unproductive.
Apparently this 'essential function' is unsupported in Pages.
Feature requests should be made through Provide Pages Feedback, found in the Application menu (in Pages, the 'Pages' menu), where they'll go to and be read by Apple. Here you're posting to Pages users, who can help you use existing features, but have no direct influence on missing ones.
The Pages '09 User Guide, a searchable pdf document, is available for download via the Help menu in Pages.

  • How to set functional keys as shortcuts for menu items in AWT?

    Hello!
    I want to set functional keys as shortcuts for menu items in AWT, for example F1, F2... Here's my code:
    MenuItem menuItemHelp = new MenuItem ("Help", new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_F1));
    But, in result, this menu item is activated, when Ctrl-V pressed. Why?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    I have no idea what is going on but if you reinstall the jdk then it might fix it. I had some similar problems myself but reinstalling fixed them.

  • How do I setup a keyboard shortcut for an item in the Services menu?

    In every Application, under the application menu is a "Services" folder. I would like to be able to setup a keyboard shortcut for one of these services (namely Skype).
    I am a heavy user of the "Services > Skype > Call" command and I would love to have a keyboard shortcut for it.
    I went to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, clicked on the plus sign to create a new shortcut (all applications) and entered "Services…Skype…Call" and assigned it to a keyboard command (shift-F1).
    It doesn't work. Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?

    Hi
    Also - have a look at the reply I gave at the link below (sorry - don't know how to insert proper links here).
    May be of interest, maybe not.

  • InDesign Keyboard Shortcut for Submenu Item

    I am attempting to make a keyboard shortcut for a particular menu selection in InDesign CS5. Particularly, I want to select an Adobe PDF Preset
    ("PDF/X-1a:2001") from the submenu. However, when I try select this in Keyboard Shortcuts, all I get is "Define" .. which of couse will bring me to the presets window. I want to be able to select a preset and assign a keyboard shortcut (in this case F15).
    Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be done? I tried various ways, but still can't select anything from that submenu.
    Thanks.

    Hey,
    I agree with Cari! Using SHIFT while clicking on PDF preset name would speed up things! On the other hand, you can use scripting to define which export profile to use and choose destination folder. Great thing about the scripts is that you can assign custom shortcuts to them!
    // Set PDF Preset name
    var myPreset = "[PDF/X-1a:2001]";
    // If not using CS5 or later, set this to: false
    var usingCS5 = true;
    /// --- DO NOT EDIT --- ///
    if(app.documents.length)
        doExport();
    else
        alert("No documents opened");
    function doExport(){
        try{app.pdfExportPresets.item(myPreset).name}
        catch(_){
            alert("PDF Preset not found!\nPlease check name and try again!");
            exit();
        var myFile = (function(){
            var setFile = File.saveDialog ("PDF export based on " + myPreset + " ...", "PDF:*.pdf");
            if(setFile != null)
                return setFile;
            else
                return false;
        if(myFile != false){
            if(Boolean(usingCS5))
                app.activeDocument.asynchronousExportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
            else
                app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    All you have to set is PDF preset name and you are good to go! Also, you can save this script with different names containing different presets name and assign different shortcuts to every one of them.
    Hope that helps.

  • Using mountain lion, why does it take so long for mail to show up?  messages appear on my iphone but not on my iMac

    Using mountain lion on iMac.  Email appears on my iPhone but when I open mail on desktop the messages aren't there and take several minutes before they appear.  Thoughts as to why this happens?  Anyone else experiencing this too?

    Thank you.  Check for new msgs is set for every minute.  However, I got your message on my iPhone and it still hasn't appeared on iMac.

  • Macbook pro.minimize button is inactive. Finder menu bar and dock won't appear when firefox is open. not occuring with safari. have to click on desktop to get Finder menu bar and dock to reappear. think happens after update of something. How do I fix it?

    When i open firefox it opens up full screen (as it always has) but now the minimize button is grey (not yellow) and inactive so i can only open (green button) or close (red button) my firefox window. I can still make it smaller by dragging the bottom right corner but i can't minimize it to my dock or anything. Also, I have my dock set to auto show/hide when i roll my pointer over it. Now, whenever Firefox is open (no matter what size the window is) the Finder menu bar (with the time, battery power, etc) does not show up (which it always has before) and my dock won't auto appear when i roll my pointer over it.

    Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • Why can't I add keyboard shortcuts for Adobe GoLive 9?

    Since the demise of Unsanity's Menu Master on Leopard, I've been taking the more tedious (and problematic) route of using System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts to add and modify keyboard shortcuts for menu actions.
    I just tried to add my first shortcut to Adobe GoLive 9, which resulted in this uninformative error dialog:
    "You cannot add keyboard shortcuts for the application Adobe GoLive 9."
    Why? (The only real problem I've had with the previous 11 applications is ambiguous menu items, i.e., the same menu action name in more than one menu sub-action.)
    (I'm now resorting to an even more tedious shortcut technique - QuicKeys X3. QuicKeys is great, but it's overkill for a simple keyboard shortcut.)

    I've found another:
    "You cannot add keyboard shortcuts for the application Adobe Reader."

  • Any way to create a keyboard shortcut for keywords in Bridge CC?

    Just curious if there's any way to create a keyboard shortcut for "new keyword" and "new sub keyword" in Bridge CC?
    If not, that would be a welcome addition in any future Bridge update - being able to customize keyboard shortcuts or add your own the way you can in Premiere Pro CC.

    Steve,
    Not, as far as I know, directly, but the problem is with Aperture, not Keyboard Maestro.  Aperture has no command (afaik) for selecting the caption field of the Info Inspector.  Without a command, you will have to find another way to access it, or another way to accomplish what you want.
    You can specify the spot clicked by screen coordinates, so you cold use the Inspector HUD and the coordinates of the Caption field, as long as the Inspector HUD always pops up in the same location.
    Many dialog boxes allow the user to advance through the fields with the Tab key.  Unfortunately, the number of times you have to type "{Tab}" in order to get to a particular field depends on other interface elements (if the Control Bar is showing, add 2).  I don't know of a way to determine if the Control Bar is showing.
    You might find a work-around using a Metadata Preset and the Batch Change command.  Keyboard Maestro can easily pop up a dialog with a text field in which you can type what you want to go into Aperture's Caption field.
    The best thing to do is download the trial version and see if it meets your needs.  Keyboard Maestro is adept at creating macros based on keyboard input.  If the program does not provide keyboard equivalents, writing an effective macro becomes difficult.
    http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
    The author provides exemplary documentation:
    http://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/About_Keyboard_Maestro
    Lastly, for the use you cite, I simply show the Inspector if it's not showing (by typing "i"), change to the Info tab if it is not currently activated (by clicking, but note that opening the Inspector with the Info tab selected can be done with one command "View➞Inspector➞Info"), and then clicking in the Caption field, which is part of all of the Metadata Views I regularly use.
    HTH.  Perhaps one of our programming mavens will suggest something better.

  • Keyboard shortcut for filling layer with color are opposite on my PS CS6 OSX install, Help?

    Hello all,
    I'm a bit of a noob, and following a tutorial….and found something strange and wonder if you might help me figure what's happening.
    I have Photoshop Extended CS6 on a macbook pro (late 2011).
    I'm running OSX v 10.7.5
    I'm following along and the instructor added a new layer. I did this.
    He then filled the layer with white which is his background color (he has black foreground, white background). I have the same fore/background colors.
    Now, I thought on mac that to fill with foreground color you hit Apple+Delete  and to fill with background you hit Option+Delete
    It is doing the exact OPPOSITE for me. I hit Apple+Delete (or even backspace)  and it fills with my background color which is white
    If I hit Option+Delete (or backspace) it fills with my foreground color.
    I've tried looking in the Edit Keyboard shortcuts area…but I don't see these settings anywhere.
    I do have an external keyboard  hooked to my mac. It is a 3rd party one, but seems to work in ever other way normally.
    Keyboard here is:  http://pckeyboard.com/page/UKBD/UB40P4A
    Any suggestions why my keyboard shortcut for filling a layer with color might be reversed?
    Thanks in advance,
    CC

    a 1 second google search would have informed you of this.
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did do a Google and I got this:
    http://blog.coghillcartooning.com/84/tip-keyboard-shortcut-to-fill-a-photoshop-layer-or-se lection-with-the-background-or-foreground-color/
    And from that I got the option-delete was background, and apple-delete was foreground.
    Hence my confusion...
    Thanks for the reply, I guess I should check 2-3 sites each time I google for keyboard shortcuts for PS.

  • Keyboard shortcut for the Document Folder in file open/save dialog

    Does anyone know if there exists a keyboard shortcut for Document Folder in the File Save/Open Dialog? <command><shift>O works in the Finder. I tried variations of that in the dialog and didn't find any. <command>D takes you to the desktop. I tried other variations surrounding that to get to the Document Folder and didn't find any.
    Anyone? Bueller?

    There isn't.

  • How do I create a keyboard shortcut for a nested finder menu item?

    Specifically I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut for Finder>Services>Mail>Send File.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    pmasitti,
    Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, click on the "+" sign. From the drop-down menu choose Application: Finder, Menu Title: "Send File" (without the quotes), Keyboard Shortcut: whatever.
    Close system System Preferences and quit the Finder for the change to take effect. You can easily quit and relaunch the Finder from the Apple Menu > Force Quit. Select Finder and click on the Relaunch button.
    For the action to complete, select the Finder item before pressing your keyboard short cut.
    Worked for me... good luck!

  • Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for "Export book to PDF"? (Cannot find it in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.)

    I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut for the "Export Book to PDF" command on the Books panel menu, but I simply can't find that command in Keyboard Shortcuts. After not finding it in what seemed the logical place (Keyboard Shortcuts > Product Area: Panel Menus > Book), I've looked through all the Product Areas listed on the dropdown menu -- but it seems I must be missing something.
    What do I need to do / where do I need to look to assign a keyboard shortcut for this command?

    Sorry, I agree that that is missing in action. I don't know of a workaround unless someone has written a script. Scripts can be called with keystrokes.

  • Keyboard shortcut for context menu

    Hello all. I recently got a MacBook and it's the first Mac I've ever had. I'm a keyboard shortcut guy when I can be and one thing that's stumped me is using the keyboard to open up the context menu.
    Does anybody know a keyboard shortcut for opening the context menu (ie Ctrl + mouse Click)?
    If there isn't one, I would be happy to add a custom keyboard shortcut for it in the System Preferences. I've tried to do so but I'm doing something wrong because it isn't working. Here's what I've tried specifically:
    1. For "All Applications" add Ctrl+Space for the Menu Title "Show Context Menu"
    2. For "All Applications" add Ctrl+Space for the Menu Title "Open Context Menu"
    Does anybody know the exact Menu Title for the context menu?
    Help is much appreciated!

    The Keyboard Shortcuts are for menu items, not macro creation. What you want to do requires a third-party utility for programming keyboard macros such as iKey, QuickSilver, etc. You'll find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

    is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

    Keyboard Shortcuts are created in the System Preferences app, Hardware section, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
    Select Application Shortcuts on the left.
    Click the "+" sign on the right and in the dialog box that pops up, enter: "Export..." and your preferred key combination. Here's an example:
    Keep in mind that when you enter the name of the action in a layered menu, such as File > Export..., or Share > Export..., you are only going to enter the last menu choice, not the higher levels.
