Working through David's book - trouble with Control-Left/Right Arrow

I have worked my way through David Nahmani's book in the Apple Pro Training series and it is EXCELLENT! It's the best investment I've made in a long time. The investment I made in the new computer and software would be so much less AWESOME had I not found this little gem. I do have a question, though...
When it comes to the command keys, I can't get the Control-Left/Right Arrow commands to work. They are supposed to be zoom keys - but they just wipe my window left and right. I'm probably doing something wrong. Anyone know what it is?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Gina

Gina,
The problem is that Control + Arrow Keys is the default key command to switch between Spaces (window sets) in Leopard. So, here's what you do:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Click on "Exposé & Spaces" (top row, fourth icon from the left)
3. Click on the "Spaces" tab
4. In the bottom portion of the window you'll see a section for "Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts", in the second pulldown menu change the setting from "^ Arrow Keys" to another of the choices. I personally use the second choice, which is Command + Option + Arrow Keys.
Now, back in Logic your Control + Arrow Keys should be controlling your Arrange window zoom.
Hope this helps!

  • Is it possible to have dual screens for two Pages documents or APPs? In a Windows system you use control left/right

    When trying to work on multiple documents or apps, I like to have a dual screen where by i can see two things at once. This worked when I used  a Window's system by pressing Control left/right and i could use both at the same time.
    Is this posible to do using a Mac Air?

    both VMWare Fusion & Parallels Desktop for Mac can use a bootcamp Windows installation as VM exactly like you want.

  • Command-Left/Right Arrow not working

    Very strange behavior I'm seeing today.
    My left/right arrow keys work. Even Option-Left/Right works correctly.
    But, Command-Left-Right do not work. No movement at all.
    Curiously, Shift-Command-Left/Right work fine.
    I've not changed any keyboard shortcuts recently. I've checked the keyboard shortcuts that are currently defined. Nothing that would indicate a problem, but clearly there is.

    Just found a solution that worked for me here. Basically, it seems to be a bug with the Dock. If you type "killall Dock" (the command is case-sensitive) into the command line in Terminal, it restarts the Dock. After that the arrows seem to work normally again.

  • Timeline cursor has a Left/Right Arrow with red diagonal line

    I am trying to edit a timeline in Premiere, but the cursor changes to a Left/Right arrow with a red line across it.  I've never seen this cursor before in CS4 and it is preventing me from moving clips in the timeline.
    I tried to take a screen grab to show you all, but the cursor is always hidden in the final grab.
    I resorted to drawing the curson in MS Paint.
    I feel like such a *******.
    I have searched high and low on Google.
    Please help

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Premier and trying to find the key command to move the cursor in the timeline from the beginning of one clip to the beginning of the next clip, and back, or as a way of quickly scrolling through clips one at a time.
    In FCP I use the arrow commands.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks!

  • Macbook keyboard left/right arrow keys don't work

    Hello everyone,
    First time here and first time to touch a Macbook - I'm in IT but on the other side of the fence.
    My partner's laptop is a Core2-Duo @ 2GHz which I've stuck 4GB of RAM and a newer SATA HDD into, I've also updated the firmware just in case it was needed to see the 4GB and also I seem to recall bootcamp wanting it.
    A while back I was asked to put Vista-64 on it, I've done that and like most people mucked around with bootcamp drivers and got nearly everything working.
    I noticed that some keys and the 'right click' ability wasn't working so I installed the Keyboard Input Remapper - this seems to only be for MacBook Pro however it did get me a right-click button so I didn't argue with that.
    I'm not sure if it's because I've upgraded the firmware or not but Windows detects the keyboard as a MacBook Pro - and after I install the keyboard remapper it comes up as a more generic keyboard device "HID Compliant Keyboard" I think it is.
    In particular the left and right directional arrow keys simply don't work, I can't even re-map them with a third party utility like Sharpkeys because it can't detect any input from them.
    Doesn't seem to matter if I use the "Macbook Pro" keyboard or the "HID Compliant" keyboard with or without the input remapper - no combination I've found can seem to make it work and I can't find a non "Pro" keyboard driver.
    I've spent many hours trying to figure this out and reading posts all over the web, the keys work under Mac OS 10.5.4.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Left/Right Arrows Stopped Working

    Hello,
    I just noticed my left and right arrow keys have stopped working. I updated my computer earlier today and when I tried to move the line cursor over, it wouldn't move. The top and bottom arrow keys work fine, but not the left and right keys.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Disable switch to another virtual console with Alt-Left/Right

    I'm a Fish shell user, and the Alt-Left/Right keys are very useful for me. But in the virtual terminals those shortcuts are captured and cause a switch between the different terminals (like Alt-F1, F2 etc). My question is, how can I disable that Alt-Left/Right behaviour, since Alt-F1, F2... is more than enough for me.

    really turns off the switching of consoles, but fish still doesnt get the Alt-Left|Right keys. At least nothing happens, so the situation got better, but I wonder how to pursuade the console to pass on the Alt-Left|Right combo. Any thoughts?
    I have the same problem. I can disable the default shortcut but the combination (Alt+arrows) has no effect at all then and I can't use it with any application. Any ideas?

  • Oracle 10g express: trouble with control file

    Hallo,
    I have just installed Oracle 10g for Linux; my distro is Fedora core 4. After configuring the environment variables, I try to startup the XE database by invoking sqlplus as oraclexe user. The command fails with this error message:
    ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
    The alert log says that the control file control.dbf is missing, and actually it is, along with every data file and log.
    Could anyone give me one hint?
    Thanks

    When i try to use the i key and the left shift, nothing appears-so to use the first person "I"  i need to use the right shift.  This started after i had had my computer for about 3 weeks.-what gives? is it a setting, or do  i need a new keyboard?

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.
