YOUR FAVOURITE UNDOCUMENTED KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS PLEASE

Further to the list of documented keyboard shortcuts which is currently posted on www.lightroomextra.com, I'm now going back through reformatting them into a more useable format (by action and module rather than key combination), and adding the missing shortcuts.
The only shortcuts currently in the list are those documented on the shortcuts window for each module, and those listed next to menu items.
So if you have a shortcut you've discovered, please post them here and I'll add them to the list ready for reposting (with both Mac and Windows versions)
Thanks all!

Thanks Victoria for all of your work, but I have a question for Adobe - I've looked in the rudimentary PDF help file provided by Adobe and the HTML help file when using the application for a link to the Auto-Sync function. It's mentioned once - quote "Previous, Sync or Auto-Sync These buttons toggle according to whether you have one or more photos selected in the Filmstrip. .... Auto-Sync adjusts other selected photos after each slider is moved". No advice as to how they toggle, nor to how to use it or what it does. The question - how come there are so many 'undocumented' pieces of probably very powerful functionality ie undocumented keyboard shortcuts. It wasn't until I viewed one of Michael Tapes videos that I finally got some useful info on how to apply a function (eg applying Auto-Tone via Auto-Sync) and not settings to a group of selected photos. In other words, the usefulness of a really powerful feature (Auto-Sync) is hidden to most users and undocumented. Thanks Michael and Victoria, brick-bats to Adobe for lacklustre documentation. Apart from the documentation and the almost next to useless slow speed of the Spot/Healing tool, I really like Lightroom - thanks Adobe :).
Cheers

Show Transform Controls. KEYBOARD SHORTCUT PLEASE ANYONE!!!

I use Photoshop CS5/3 for Drawing and creative art. Hense I measure up images using the awesome 'Show Transform Control' Option Command, whilst in the Move Tool. But im SICK of having to CHECK AND UNCHECK the box. Please somebody tell me where I can find a Keybaord Short Cut Option in the Keybaord Short Cut and Menus Section.
Thank you.

Ive kind of answered my own question.
Keep the 'Show Transform Control' box checked all the time. When 'Show Transform Control' BOUNDING BOX starts getting on your nerves, press: Ctrl + H to HIDE the slections on screen! Dont forget to press Cntrl H to get it back when you switch to other tools.
Hopes this helps speed the job up.

KeyBoard Shortcut, please help!

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a shortcut for switching through different IMS when chatting with multiple people.
Thanks

Hi LathehMocha,
There isn't one.
Not even in iChat 3
If there were an option to do this it would show in the iChat Window Menu when you had Text Chats open.

Keyboard shortcuts error - please re-install Photoshp CC

When loading up Photoshop CC I get an error message which says something like "unable to locate keyboard shortcuts, please re-install Photoshop CC. How can I do this?

Well, not knowing whether you have a Mac or PC, you would use the uninstaller found in the PS CC folder (Mac) or Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel (Windows).
Then you can reinstall using the Creative Cloud Desktop app. There would be an "Install" button next to Photoshop CC if your uninstall went correctly. Don't forget to apply any updates through Help > Updates, since the reinstall would go back to the base version. 14.0 instead of 14.2.1.

Feature Requests - Keyboard Shortcut

Please bring de same keyboard shorcuts as the other apps of the Suite. For example zomming with CMD+SPACE BAR. Bring the ability to use modifier keys for the shortcut also (in case of we are in a text box). Thanks!

Feature requests and bug reports can be submitted to Adobe here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Remember that you can create your own custom keyboard shortcuts for Fireworks (under Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts). You can create multiple sets for different purposes, if you like. In my Keyboard Shortcuts panel, there's even a set called "Photoshop" and a set called "Illustrator"—I've never explored these sets though, so I don't know how they differ from the standard.

ANN: FM keyboard shortcuts - RJ's top 10

RJ Jacquez, Adobe's senior evangelist for Technical Communications and eLearning products, has posted an online Connect session demonstrating his favourite FM keyboard shortcuts. It's about 36 minutes in length. As always, you'll learn something new.
See his blog entry for details: http://blogs.adobe.com/rjacquez/2010/01/my_top_10_favorite_adobe_frame.html

Well, that's not the case here.
I tried to focus on text field, and the keyboard shortcuts does work, so that's obviously not the case here.
Sometimes the address bar is selected and i can write there, but when the mouse go over the top title, it suddenly stops reacting.
And the Alt+D and Ctrl+T are not working doesn't matter if a text field is selected.
BTW, sometimes it does work, it almost seems like an intermittent problem.

FireFox keyboard shortcuts - how to use old, traditional scheme?

I still have no idea why did FF team decided to touch keyboard patterns:
- It is not design/features/etc. Eyes can adapt to anything, indeed, no problem
but
- This is in the essence how your fingers use software, that's a physical world. Hands definitely are MUCH more sensitive.
I would like to note that I have all three (IE, Chrome, FF) browsers installed, I used FF last few years, but a few months (or half a year?) ago they made that radical update which touched not eyes/brains, but hands. And that's a mess:
- Home and End keys simply are not used now in FF :-/ (and earlier it was used for scrolling page in current tab)
- PgDw and PgUp keys are used for going forward/back (!) in your tab
- to switch tabs to the right you have to use Ctrl+Tab, and for back Ctrl+Shift+Tab
etc.
etc.
To say that I was disappointed is to say nothing. I tried, week or so, to adapt to new tradition of keyboard use in FF, but I miserably failed. Then, ** for some other reason ** I ran Chrome. And since then I am Chrommed....
- PageUp and PageDown keys do work in Chrome for scrolling page
- Home and End keys do work in Chrome for scrolling page
- Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn - you switch tabs
People like me do NOT switch to Mac because (I work mostly in MS Office) there a bit different (really minor) keyboard shortcuts etc. etc.
I am stuck. Or they are some kind of Linux or whatever guys... And I even don't know how to give them feedback, and how to show them that there MANY people like me - we love FF but your change of keyboard shortcuts touched not brain/eyes, but our hands.

Open your Displays system preferences. Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens? If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens. Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not. Maybe there's something wrong with the connection. Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket. The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor. Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

Keyboard shortcuts in CS4 won't work! Please help!

In the last month I have lost all of my keyboard shortcuts in my CS4 program. I was using Windows Vista Professional - and installed CS4 in August. Everything was working great. Then last month, all of the shortcuts disappeared. I uninstalled/then reinstalled CS4 - still nothing. Have done that several times, and looked on the forums for similar issues, in the Technotes - nothing. Yesterday my office upgraded my system to Windows 7. I am on a new HP Elitebook - also purchased in August, so my system can handle the program with ease.
Anyway, I had the IT guy do a 'clean install' per most of the chatter online, so i went to install the program and the install came up with 'errors' first was that Adobe 9 was not installed, nor was Photoshop. When i opened up illustrator - poof - no keyboard shortcuts again. Please if anyone knows of something that I could try, I would really appreciate it. This is seriously making me behind in projects and am ready to throw my new computer out the gigantic window that is in front of my desk.
Oh, since this - I updated my graphics driver (per suggestion for Photoshop), unistalled CS4 - AGAIN - and am in the process of reinstalling. But I am pretty sure that the shortcuts will be missing.
Help!!

These are the errors that I keep getting from the 'Get More Information' link after install.

Feature Request: Adobe, please make After effects CC keyboard shortcuts customizable as in Premiere

I'm making this feature requests because I've tried the only two known methods for customizing keyboard shortcuts in After Affects and neither of these work in CC:
• 2008 video tutorial on Creative Cow Forum for modifying the After Effects Keyboard shortcuts text file - unfortunately this doesn't work in AE CC
• a youtube tutorial about how to install KeyedUp for After Effects - tried this but also not able to change any shortcuts in AE CC
One of the things I love most about Premiere Pro CC is how many keyboard shortcuts you can customize. You can even do this in Adobe Audition.
So why not in After Effects?
Adobe please bring this feature to the next update of After Effects CC.

Hi Todd,
Sorry I replied to you in the Creative Cow forum. Just in case you didn't see my reply there, I'm reposting it here:
Essentially after following the tutorial video very carefully, modifying the shortcuts, making sure there are no traces of other instances of the old shortcut, I save the file then when I reopen AE, I get this window:
Then when I check the folder housing the shortcuts text file I see that my modified shortcut text file simply got renamed "old" at the end of the line:
See second line in window "Shortcuts.txt.old" -> that's the file I modified. It looks like AE simply spawned a new default shortcuts file titled "...Shortcuts.txt"

Keyboard shortcuts won't work – please help

I have Dreamweaver CS3 on a PC with Windows XP, and recently had to reinstall my operating system to recover from a malware attack. Ever since I redid my computer, I’ve been unable to use any keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver. For example, Ctrl+v pastes in any other program, but in Dreamweaver, I only get a white arrow cursor with a white box in the bottom right of the cursor as soon as I press Ctrl. F12 is set to preview a page in my default browser, but pressing it has no apparent effect. Does anyone have any advice on getting my keyboard shortcuts to work properly? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but you may have to reinstall Dreamweaver to get it to recognize your 'new' installation.
This has nothing to do with Dreamweaver not working correctly, but getting your os to recognize the keyboard shortcuts from the dreamweaver instalation.

Hello . Mozilla keyboard shortcuts does not include any window key shortcuts. Please update this content . Thanks

From Mozilla keyboard shortcuts webpage.

In this article: [[Keyboard shortcuts - Perform common Firefox tasks quickly]]?
If the problem is that you are not seeing shortcuts for Mac or Linux, and you are running Windows, then the site did not properly detect your OS. In the left part of the page, look for the EDITING TOOLS bar. If necessary, click it to expand the list of tools. Then you should see a section called CUSTOMIZE THIS ARTICLE where you can change from Mac or Linux to your version of Windows.
If the problem is that there are specific shortcuts missing that you would like to see documented, could you mention which ones they are or which functions they perform?

Need keyboard shortcuts for an old Power Macintosh please

Hi all
I’m try to copy 2 folders from the desktop of an old Apple Power Macintosh to a ZIP drive.
The mouse on the Power Mac doesn't work, so I’ve to use keyboard shortcuts to move the folders.
My problem is that I can’t find the right keyboard map on the web for a computer about 15 years old, and the OSX keyboard shortcuts don’t work on this computer.
As far as I can work out the Power mac is before G3 and is a 6000 to 8000 model. If anyone knows the shortcut to find the exact software version, that will be great.
So could anybody please suggest to me the keyboard shortcuts for the following commands:
Open ZIP dive folder
Move back to desktop
Copy folder on the desktop
Select ZIP drive folder
Past the folder from desktop to ZIP drive.
I can’t find any info on the web, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Under Mac OS 8 or later, you can select a file or folder in the current window (or on the desktop if no windows are open) by typing the first few letters of its name. You can also use the arrow keys. I don't remember whether these work in System 7.
Apple-O opens a selected file or folder. Apple-W closes the current window.
Apple-C and Apple-V are copy and paste, respectively, but I'm not sure if they'll work for copying files and folders. I'm not sure if there's a keyboard shortcut for moving files and folders.
If you can find "Script Editor" (it might be in a folder named "Applescript"), you could use it to write a script that will move the folders. Follow these instructions:
Find and open Script Editor. Apple-F opens the "Find" window.
In Script Editor, enter the following:
(Instead of XYZ and ABC, enter the names of the folders you want to copy. And instead of MyZIP, enter the name of the Zip disk.)
tell application "Finder"
duplicate folder "XYZ" of desktop to disk "MyZIP"
duplicate folder "ABC" of desktop to disk "MyZIP"
end tell
Press Apple-R. That should copy the folders to the Zip disk.
