Window Menu Entry and Keyboard Shortcuts

I have defined a menu entry that appears in two places in the menu hierarchy
File->My PlugIn->Info
and
Window->My PlugIn->Info
using a PanelList definition of
// Asset retrieval panel
resource PanelList (kMMAssetRetPanelResourceID)
kMyPaletteID,
initiallyVisible,
kMyPanelResourceID,
kMyPluginID,
kSDKDefDefaultPaletteZOrder,
kMyPanelActionID,
kMyPluginName kSDKDefDelimitMenuPath "Info",
kMySubMenuPath,
kMyInfoItemPosition,
where kMySubMenuPath is "Main" kSDKDefDelimitMenuPath "&File" kSDKDefDelimitMenuPath "MyPlugin".
Everything works beautifully except that the keyboard shortcut editor uses Window Menu->Info to attach the shortcut to whereas I would like to use our own Action Area where all the other menu entries in the File->MyPlugin menu are. This is similar to the Type->Character and Window->Type & Tables->Character menu entries so I believe it is possible.
An alternative would be to use Window Menu->My PlugIn: Info in the shortcut editor.
Does anyone know how to configure either of these?
Ken, can you show me how the Type->Character and Window->Type & Tables->Character panel is defined?

It seems like Ken has moved on to pastures new judging by when his last post was (I have been away from InDesign development for quite a while).
Does anyone else know how to achieve this?
Is there anyone from Adobe or elsewhere that knows how the Type->Character and Window->Type & Tables->Character panel menus entries are defined?
Cheers,
Ian

    You switch keyboards by going to the " flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

  • Hot Corners and Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

    When disconnecting from my 27" (that I use as a docking station with keyboard and mouse), in some cases my hot corners and keyboard shortcuts stop working.
    F11 does not show the desktop, Ctl-UpArrow does not show mission control. Ctr-left-right arrow does work, as i can still toggle between desktops.
    I know, lots of randomness here...
    A reboot fixes everything.

    I've go a Windows 7 system running CS5 and when I start Photoshop all my shortcuts are working but eventually really important ones like the brush tool sizing stop working. At the moment the only non-adobe/windows app running is iTunes and that have been running the whole time, turning iTunes off does not enable the stortcuts again.
    Has the only conclusion to this problem been to turn off other apps? This has been a problem for me since I upgraded to CS5 and its driving me a little mental !

  • How to disable right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?

    Hello All,
    We are currently working on an issue. We want to display a pdf to users but not allow them to save it. Though we are able to hide the menubar and toolbars, the Shortcuts F8, F9 and Ctrl+Shift+S is the undoing of all. The user can still use these shortcuts to enable toolbar and menubar. Can anyone suggest how to disable the right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?
    Thanks in Advance

    Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

  • Photoshop scripts and keyboard shortcuts synchronization

    I use Photoshop CC in multiple computers and would like to find out if there is way to synchronize keyboard shortcuts and photoshop scripts across different computers. Is it possible to synch the scripts folder and keyboard shortcuts through Dropbox for instance?

    Have you tried the syncing capabilities in CC? I have not tried to sync across multiple computeres -- having only one -- but the capabilities to sync preferences and actions seem to be possible. However, I believe 'scripts' and 'actions' are not the same thing so I cannot comment on how this sync process deals with scripts.

  • Secret dragging tricks and keyboard shortcuts - are these published anywhere?

    I have searched for some and stumbled upon others. But I have not seen any of these published or posted anywhere. If so, can you tell me? Either way, you may find some useful ones here. Enjoy! (I think most of these work in Lion. Any keyboard shortcuts you know for Time Machine would be most welcome.)
    *** THE DOCK ***
    Press ^F3 to move to the dock. Use the arrow keys to select an icon. You can also use autocomplete (type the first few letters of the icon's name). Then press Opt-arrow_key to move the *icon* among the other icons on the Dock. Thus you can change the order of the icons on the Dock using only the keyboard.
    *** DRAGGING TRICKS ***
    o SAVE-AS SHEET TRICK
    Open an app's Save As sheet. Drag a folder or its proxy icon to anywhere in the Save As sheet except the sidebar and that updates the directory (folder) field with that folder. Drag a file or its proxy icon to the Save As sheet (anywhere except the sidebar) and that updates both the directory (folder) and file fields accordingly.
    Why do I do this? I find it easier to use the actual Finder, or I may already have a Finder window in the right directory.
    You can also click on a directory or file in the Save As sheet to populate the directory or file fields, respectively. Then edit the filename to a slightly different name.
    o COPY A FOLDER TREE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
    Open a true text-only editor session using an app like TextWrangler (not TextEdit!). Drag a folder (or its proxy icon) from the Finder into the editor window. Viola`! The names of the folder and all its subfolders and files are pasted into the text buffer in a properly indented form.
    o COPY A FILE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
    Drag a file from the Finder into a text-only editor like TextWrangler or similar (not TextEdit!) and the _contents_ of the file (not its icon) are inserted into the document.
    o MAKE A NEW FILE THAT CONTAINS SELECTED TEXT
    Select some text. Drag it to a folder. This creates a "textClipping" file which contains the selected text. Opens as a "Finder document".
    o COPY A PHOTO FROM IPHOTO TO A FOLDER
    Open iPhoto. Drag (to copy) a photo to a folder. Makes a jpeg file of the photo in that folder.
    *** KEYBOARD TRICKS ***
    o MENUS AND LISTS
    Opt-U/D: Move highlight bar to top or bottom of most menus and lists. Does not work in Spotlight drop-down menu. Works in Snow Leopard Mac Mail (v 4.5, anyway) if you hold it down for a second: you get an error signal, but it works anyway.
    PgUp/PgDn | Home/End: Moves highlight bar to top or bottom of menus. Moves only the view for lists.
    Opt-Spacebar: Move highlight to the alphabetically first item in a menu (except in the Spotlight drop-down menu).
    o SPOTLIGHT DROP-DOWN MENU
    After selecting an item on the drop-down menu via the arrow keys:
    Cmd-Return: Open enclosing folder.
    o SPOTLIGHT WINDOW
    If ^F7 is set to "all controls", press ^F7 four times if it's the first search in a particular Spotlight window; two, otherwise. This moves you to the list of results.
    If ^F7 is set to "text boxes and lists only", just Tab.
    o CALENDAR WIDGET
    Home: go to the current year and month.
    Up, down, left, right arrows: go one year back, one year forward, one month back, one month forward. Hold a L or R arrow down to autorepeat through the years. (You can't do _that_ with the mouse!) Also works with U and D for the months.
    o SPELL CHECK
    Cmd-Shift-; - Open spelling pane. But you knew that one. Press ^F6 to get to the pane. Tab around to everything except Define and Guess. With the focus on the replacements list, use the arrow keys to select a replacement word from the list. (Press the spacebar to run the control with the highlight perimiter and press Return to run the control with the solid highlighting.)   
    o MAIL
    Cmd-I - Open Account Info window
    o NAVIGATING HELP PANES
    - Old-style help panes :
    Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
    Tab: Move among the Search field, the page, and the controls on top. Add Shift to reverse.
    When on the page:
    Use the usual navigation keys -- Up, Down, Home, End, Page up, and Page Down, Spacebar, Shift-Spacebar -- to scroll through the page.
    Opt-Tab: move among the links on the page or items in a "Help Topics" list. The highlight perimeter will be rectangular. Press Return or Enter to click the selected link or item. Add Shift to reverse direction.
    Cmd-F: Open the Find bar. Move about with Tab. Move among the arrows with L or R arrow keys. To find a string: Type your search string in the Find field. Press Return or Enter. Press again to find the next occurrence, etc.
    To go to the page from the Find bar: Shift-Tab to the left or right arrow. Then press Shift-Tab two more times.
    To close the Find bar: Tab to Done and press the spacebar or just press Escape.
    You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.
    When the highlight perimeter is on one of the arrow controls, press Spacebar to click it. If the left arrow control is selected press the down arrow to see places going backward. If the right arrow control is selected press the Down arrow to see a list of places going forward. Either way, use the usual menu navigational shortcuts.
    When the highlight perimeter is on the Home control, press the down arrow to get a menu of apps. (The mouse way for this is to click and hold and "drag" and release as above.) The usual menu navigational shortcuts are valid. Also, you can press the spacebar to go Home.
    When the highlight perimeter is on the Gear button, press the spacebar or down arrow to get the drop-down menu. The usual menu navigational shortcuts are in effect. 
    (To do any of the above three with the mouse, click on the control and hold the mouse button down, then without releasing the mouse button, move the pointer to highlight the desired item on the menu and release the mouse button.)
    - New-style help panes:
    Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
    Tab to move around to most things. The table of contents becomes keyboard-active one Tab-press past the Search field, at which point use the L and R arrow keys to navigate the Contents panel, and the U and D arrow keys to move the down and up the page.
    To be able to use PageUp and PageDn, Tab to the back/forward button, then press Shift-Opt-Tab.
    Cmd-F: Opens the Find bar. Navigate with Tab and L/R arrow keys. When you are on this bar, press Shift-Tab repeatedly until the highlight perimeter moves out. Then press Shift-Tab once more to go back to the page, where the L and R arrow keys move you around the TOC sidebar and the U and D arrow keys scroll the page.
    AFAIK, you can choose Get Started or Browse Help only with the mouse.
    You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.

    I guess you meant that unfortunately these don't have them.
    (1) I meant that, unfortunately for your impressive work, there's nothing in it that hasn't already been documented elsewhere. The two items I mentioned contain your shortcuts, and many more besides.
    I don't see any of them in either. I have Pogue's book and they're not there. In fact, I emailed these tricks to him and he was impressed with some of them. And of course there are more. I never claimed to have an exhaustive list. In fact, I doubt anyone has such a list.
    (2) Mac OS X v10.6 has been out for, what is it, 3 years? If you think that there are any 'secret' shortcuts left, then you seriously underestimate the average Mac user. Some of that stuff is even older. For instance, the "Save-As Sheet Trick" dates back to Jaguar, or even before that. "Make a New File That Contains Selected Text" is older than Mac OS X itself!
    Well, first of all there's no need to get hostile.
    I don't underestimate the average Mac user. But I would venture to guess that most are heavily mouse oriented and would not even be interested in the keyboard tricks I posted. And I only said that I haven't seen them on any website, not that no one else in the world knows about them.
    Additionally, there have been things missed by the smartest of people. Stereo vision was missed even by Issac Newton, one of the biggest geniuses to grace the planet! It was Wheatstone who first picked up on it. And it used to be thought that a cube flying by at relatvisitic speed would appear foreshortened in the direction of motion. In fact, as was noted decades after relativity was published, it in fact appears rotated. If super smart people could miss this, then perhaps those few who publish these tricks may not know about them.
    Re the save-as trick and the new-file-contains-your-text tricks: fine, they're old, but so are many of the tricks that are posted on websites. So why some old ones but not others? How about cut and paste? I bet they're pretty old but that doesn't prevent people from posting them, as in your first reference!
    (3) Also unfortunately, your listing mixes up shortcuts and 'tricks' of different categories. For instance, "Copy a File to a Text Document" is not secret, it is not a trick, and it is not relevant. What an app does with a file dropped onto an open document of its own does not depend on the system, but on the app and how it was programmed. TextEdit inserts a text file's path while TextWrangler inserts the text file's contents not because the former is not a text editor, but because that's how each was designed to work. And TextWrangler's behaviour is documented in the accompanying manual.
    So one of my tricks is lame. I don't see that as that big a deal.
    Bottom line: I don't see any of them in the docs you referenced.

  • Another "edit in photoshop" and keyboard shortcut question

    I have both PSCS6 32 bit and 64 bit installed on my computer (usual default installation). When I next installed LR4, it automatically picked PSCS6 64 bit as the default external editor without asking my preference.
    I always use PSCS6 32 bit and not the 64 bit version.
    While I can add the PSCS6 32 bit program as an "additional external editor" and access it from a right click contextual menu for editing an image from LR4, I cannot use the convenient Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut since that will always launch the unwanted PSCS6 64 bit program.
    Is there a way to reestablish this keyboard shortcut convenience for my 32 bit program?
    Thanks in advance!
    OS: Windows 7 professional

    Scott,
    There is a registry hack you could try:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html
    That's for making PS show up when it doesn't show up at all, but there's a place to add the path to the executable that you could modify to point to the 32-bit version. You might want to do a checkpoint for System Restore before you start.

  • How Many Functions And Keyboard Shortcuts etc. Are Missing From FCE 4 ?

    Seven hours ago I set out to discover the answer to this but I got side-tracked and discovered my camera had a microphone channel missing !
    So is there anything missing from FCE4 ?
    There have been spurious claims that things like "Export to Soundtrack" have been dropped and though the actual command has disappeared the functionality is there in "Export to QuickTime".
    However, I seem to remember Tom saying that a certain keyboard shortcut (which I can't remember) is missing.
    Has anyone noticed any particular items that really have been omitted ? (Don't say Soundtrack or 9GB of LT Media!)

    Hi Ian,
    just to confirm that what you and Tom have found is the same I have so far.
    A comment: while all other commands now missing in the FCE4 contextual menu are available in its standard menus, the Clip Enable command is really a ghost command. Only the control-B keyboard shortcut toggles it, there is no mention of it in any menu, but it appears in Tools/Button List. The online Help mentions a Modify/Clip Enable commands that does not actually exist, but on the other hand it does not mention its keyboard shortcut that in fact works... very clear!

  • Custom Commands and Keyboard shortcuts

    Hi,
    I have recently added a custom command to Vivado 2015.1 to set the current working directory to the top level folder where the project is stored using this TCL:
    cd [string trimright [get_property DIRECTORY [get_projects]] proj]
    This allows me run TCL scripts using a simple relative path to a folder in the project containing TCL scripts instead of having to type a long absolute path because Vivado insists on using C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Xilinx/Vivado as it's default working directory (e.g source ./tcl/script.tcl rather than source C:/<long path to folder>/tcl/script.tcl)
    I added a keyboard shortcut to this command (in this case Ctrl+Shift+P) to allow to me change the PWD quickly when I need to.
    However, every time I open Vivado the keyboard shortcut initially does not work. I press Ctr+Shift+P and nothing happens. In order to get this to work I have to press Alt+T to get the tools menu, then u to get the Customize commands option and then withough clicking anything in this menu, just by opening the menu, the shortcut works.
    In short every time I start Vivado afresh, I have to press, Alt+T, u, then Esc, Esc to back out of the menu to get the shortcut to work ( or I can click Tools->Customise Commands and then back out of the menus by using Esc, Esc and it has the same effect).
    Can anyone else confirm this?
    It feels like it is not recognizing the shortcut until the Customise commands menu has been opened. Is it not loading the shortcut until this menu opens? The whole idea of the shortcut is to avoid having to open the menu every time.
    Regards
    Simon

  • [SOLVED] keeping terminal window open for scrot keyboard shortcut

    Hey,
    Im trying to bind a keyboard shortcut to scrot with the -s command (for selecting window). Normal scrot command works fine straight away, but with the -s command a terminal window needs to be open that waits for the selection. i have created a file called lscrot with the following code:
    1 #!/bin/bash
    /usr/bin/terminal --working-directory=$HOME/dump/ --geometry 0x0-0-0 -e "/usr/bin/scrot -s"
    i have put the file in /usr/bin folder with 755 permissions.
    if i right click the file and choose "execute", the new terminal window will stay open and i can select an area to take a screenshot of, but when i bind it to a shortcut key (using xfce) the new terminal window will close immediately rendering the shortcut useless.
    how does one fix this?
    thanks

    hmmm, ok. binding keys to /usr/bin/scrot works fine, but /usr/bin/scrot -s does not. dont really know where to begin searching for a fix...
    EDIT: im assuming there is something elementary i am missing. after further testing, launching for example scrot ~/dump/test.png from console works fine, but not when i bind it to a keyboard shortcut. however, scrot test.png works to bind. does anyone know anything more about XFCe and binding keyboard shortcuts?
    EDIT2: ok so im honing in a little bit, i realised that the first times i use the keyboard shortcut it works. forcing the terminal window to stay open after command has been executed i see following error:
    giblib error: couldn't grab keyboard:Resource temporarily unavailable
    Searching the net i found old bug that was closed without (seemingly) being solved.
    https://groups.google.com/group/linux.d … 2056017d9a
    Any ideas?
    EDIT3: ok so found a solution, "sleep". Adding sleep 0.1 to the top of the screenshot script seemed to help. seems you need to give sometime to release the keyboard for scrot to use. would still be great if anyone knew how to get it to work by using a direct command in the keyboard shortcut bindings. ie binding in straight to "scrot -s". using Alt+F2 then typing in scrot -s works fine, so i really dont see why i cant bind a keyboard command straight to that.
    NOTE: how do i see xsession errors? I find no .xsession-errors file in my home directory. been searching for months.

  • Change sorting in Finder from ascending to descending and keyboard shortcut

    Hallo,
    can someone point me in the right direction of how to change sorting in Finder from ascending to descending and what are the corresponding keyboard shortcuts?
    I am already using the ctrl-cmd+number key shortcuts to modify my sorting, and a Google search produced the answer that I can change from ascending to descending by hitting the key-combination again. But it does not work ...
    Any help ;-)  ?
    Thank you !

    Never heard of a keyboard command to toggle the sort sequence from ascending to descending and back.
    The usual way to change it is to click the highlighted column name in the Finder window.

  • Windows menu entry

    I installed LR 3.0 and then 3.2. It was interesting that the second installation also uninstalled the first.....a nice touch. But there is no menu entry made in the Windows Start Menu. Is that normal behavior? It is no big deal. I just created one, but often, the menus get populated with other items at the same time. Does LR not bother with any of that?
    Also, I see the entry in the list for the Uninstaller under the control panel, but I use an even better uninstaller called Revo Uninstaller and it does not show an entry for this program. I wonder why???? This is the only program I have that exhibits this behavior.

    Windows 7: I have an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 link, but not in any folder -- just at the top of the All Programs view.  That's all you need.
    Third-party deinstallers are probably scraping the registry in order to find installed components.  I wouldn't worry about it, though it may mean that deinstalling 3.2 cleanly might be a challenge (or it might not.) The Windows installations framework can get confused sometimes, and the usual remedies are sometimes necessary to sort out install/deinstall issues.
    You can always re-run the installer if you like.
