Xfce keyboard shortcut doens't work

Recently my keyboard shortcut doesn't work anymore. E.g I have Super-e for rox and Super-Tab for verve-focus. It used to work perfectly fine. However, the Window manager shortcut works: e.g. Super-1 to desktop 1, Super-2 to desktop 2, etc. I've also checked xev and all keys are detected perfectly so I can't think of anything.
Thanks,

Not clear what you are trying to do exactly but make sure you source patched and/or target the track.

[solved] xfce keyboard shortcuts won't work, tried arch wiki solution

Keyboard shortcuts defined in the xfce's keyboard settings don't work, as described in the wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfc … 7t_working
When I kill xfce4-settings-helper the shortcuts work again. After restarting X the problem returns. I renamed '/etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-settings-helper-autostart.desktop' and '~/.config/autostart/xfce4-settings-helper-autostart.desktop' as described in the wiki, But the second file is regenerated after restarting X. Does anyone know a good solution?

I never noticed if xfce's application shortcuts were working properly or not because I just started using them since a few weeks.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

Some Keyboard Shortcuts No Longer Working in Apps

Recently, two specific keyboard shortcuts have stopped working within all my apps:
command-1
command-2
For example, in Final Draft they are supposed to switch formatting to become scene headings and action lines, respectively. All the other command shortcuts still work. In Word, I have command-1 through command-6 commands set to change text colors. Command-1 and command-2 no longer work but the rest stil function properly.
All of my shortcuts worked perfectly for well over a year. Anyone know why two of them might have stopped all of a sudden?
Thanks in advance,

Here's the second way:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

When icloud drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

When iCloud Drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
ANyone found a solution to this?
I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

Hi Susana,
I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

Services/Keyboard Shortcuts Suddenly Stop Working

Hi,
I have had a problem for the past month or two relating to services/keyboard shortcuts that I have created in 10.10. I have had these same shortcuts for approximately 18 months and they worked fine on previous versions of OS X but since 10.10 they stop working after approximately 30-40mins. As I say it is only in 10.10 in 10.9 they worked all day every day without a problem.
I have created a service which allows me to right click on a directory of images and select a name to rename all the images within that directory in descending order. I have also created a keyboard shortcut that allows me to launch the Chrome App Launcher.
When I boot up the keyboard shortcut works fine. When I right click on a directory I see the services menu with all the services I have added. But after 30 minutes or so the keyboard shortcut no longer works (Apples on built in keyboard shortcuts work as they should) and if I right click on a directory the services entry is missing but apples own services appear at the bottom, the ones I have created created don't.
If I try to access services through the menubar the services I have created are missing but apples own services are still there. In the services menu my keyboard shortcuts also appear but clicking on them does nothing.
I have 2 images which show a before 30 mins how my context menu/menubar menu look and after 30 mins.
I hope my question and images make sense and someone can help me find a remedy for this.

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

Since I updated to Yosemite, keyboard shortcuts don't work in Safari

I use Yosemite 10.0.2 and Safari shortcuts are unresponsive. What to do?

Howdy peze,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s an issue with keyboard shortcuts in one specific app, Safari, since upgrading to OS X Yosemite. Take a look at the article linked below which describes a similar issue and walks you through the process of identifying conflicting keyboard shortcuts.

IOS6 keyboard shortcuts no longer work

am I the only one with this problem??? since updating to iOS6, my keyboard shortcuts do not work....at all. Then, having switched everything to iPhone 5, keyboard shortcuts still do NOT work at all. I've tried everything I can think of... power cycle, restart, re-sync. anyone else having this issue???

IDK if this will help, I turned documents off in icloud and they worked, but when I toggle or turn documents on....no luck. I read in a separate post to uninstall and then reinstall emoji.....I really don't want to delete and reneter all my shortcuts I have at least 10 for every letter. Has anyone tryed the emoji un/reinstall? I'm fine with the documents being off in icloud......for now. I hope this helps someone.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work. Not only that I can't change them either. If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in. My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.
I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).
Any idea how to fix this?

If you want to go through all the steps I took:
1. Restart
2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)
3. Reset keyboard dictionary
4. Reset all settings
5. Clear autofill
Only after the last step did things start working. Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take. Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app. In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.

Keyboard shortcuts don't work in Firefox 9.0.1 on Mac OS 10.7.2

I've just bought a new MacBook Air with Mac OS Lion for the first time. No keyboard shortcuts work in Firefox 9.0.1 with a fresh install. Command-T or W or N or CXZ - none of them do anything. They all flash the appropriate menu bar (so the word File in the menu flashes when I press Cmd-T) but nothing happens.
If I open the menu first and then press the shortcut it works.

If anyone is interested in this on the Firefox team - I found I can make shortcuts work by pressing the Fn key at the same time (so Fn-Cmd-T for a new tab). I tried Beta and Aurora and the same thing occurs on both of those. It's a bit annoying but I guess I'll get used to it.

Keyboard shortcut no longer working in webapp after FF19 was installed

I work with a company webapp that uses the keyboard shortcut Shift+F9 to populate text boxes. Prior to Firefox version 19 upgrade on my Windows 7 PC, the shortcut worked just fine. After the upgrade, the shortcut stopped working. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, still shortcut does not work. I have run in Safe mode, still no shortcut. Disabled Add-ons, still no shortcut.
I uninstalled FF19 altogether and installed FF18. The shortcut worked just fine once again. All Add-ons intact. FF auto upgraded itself to ver 19 and the shortcut stopped working again.
I also use IE8 with the same webapp and the shortcut works just fine. Any reason why FF19 has disabled this shortcut feature? I asked our company admin of the webapp we use and he has not heard of this issue happening until now.

This is difficult to sort out without hands on access to the webapp. I think Firefox should still allows your webapp to detect the Shift+F9, or at least it does in this simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Test Shift+F9</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Try Shift+F9<br><input type="text" name="textinput" size="25" value="sample value"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keys(key){
if (!key) {
key = window.event;
key.which = key.keyCode;
if (key.which == 120){ // F9 key
if (key.shiftKey){
alert("Shift+F9 pressed!");
} else {
alert("F9 pressed without Shift!");
return false;
document.onkeyup = keys;
document.body.focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>
It's possible that a change in Firefox 19 is interfering with the function triggered by the Shift+F9 keyboard shortcut. Is there another way to run it to see whether that might be the case?

New keyboard shortcut didn't work; neither did resetting default

I wanted to create a new keyboard shortcut for sending mail, so I used the system prefs pane like the help file said (new application shortcut, select mail, etc). After creating my new shortcut (^X), it initially didn't appear in the Message menu for Mail. I quit Mail and restarted, and voila - but hitting ^X didn't send my message. That's annoying.
So I figured I'd set the shortcut back, and hit the Restore Default button in the keyboard shortcuts preferences. The listing for the shortcut I created disappeared from the menu, but even after quitting Mail several times, and restarting the machine, Menu - Send still lists ^X as its shortcut. Which would be fine with me, but it still doesn't send my message when I hit ^X.
My shortcut doesn't work, and resetting the defaults doesn't seem to be resetting what Mail thinks the shortcut is. Any thoughts? I'm on OSX 10.4.7, Mail is 2.1.

Mac mini won't boot - keyboard shortcuts don't work

Older Intel Mac Mini that I use as an entertainment / movie center. Leopard.
I did a software update recently, but somehow botched it and interrupted the process.
Ever since then, it won't start up correctly. It chimes, disk powers up, but then it gets stuck on the screen with the apple and rotating propeller. Can go on for hours if you let it.
Took it to a dealer, who said it started up fine from another system an I should try starting it in target disk mode an reinstall the OS.
Bought a USB keyboard specifically so I could press the T and tried it.
It seems that none of the keyboard shortcuts work. I tried target disk mode (T), starting from a system disk (C), tried having it give me a choice of bootable volumes (Option) - nothing. It would appear the Mini doesn't recognize my brand new Apple USB keyboard.
Tried the keyboard with my MacBook and there it works fine.
Any ideas?

OK, just found the answer while browsing the "more like this" answers that appeared after I posted my question.
I wasn't aware that the new Apple Aluminium Keyboard doesn't play nice with the Mini and that the Mini doesn't recognize this particular keyboard in time for the boot sequence.
Thank you for these helpful discussions:

Using the remote (press the menu key during boot-up) worked fine and I could choose to boot from a system disk.
Spending $60 for a new keyboard that won't do what I bought it for is, however, another story. Grr.
