Adding keyboard shortcuts

Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for the menu of the application that has submenus?  E example for the file menu of Pages command export to PDF (submenu)...  It doesn't seem to work.

IF submenus are all unique, you should only need to use what is in the submenu.

If it is not or is still not working, someone posted a solution last year. I think it was the chain at each level in the hierarchy of menus linked to something like ->

  • Added keyboard shortcuts for menu items created by the script. Is this possible?

    Hi all

    I wanted to create a custom script menu and assign (on the numeric keypad) shortcuts to the menu items so that I could run a script with small changes rather than change a few (currently seven) scripts separated and assign a shortcut to each of them. But now, I realized that the custom menus are not visible in the "Keyboard shortcuts" dialog box (What a disappointment!)

    Am I missing something here? Or is there a workaround?

    My idea was to trigger the main script - floating Tables.jsx - from the Manager menu item from the menu title as an argument.

    var tableMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.item("Table");
    
    // "Floating Tables" sub-menu
    try {
        var subMenu = tableMenu.submenus.item("Floating Tables");
        subMenu.title;
    }
    catch(err) {
        var subMenu = tableMenu.submenus.add("Floating Tables", LocationOptions.AT_END);
    }
    
    var topLeftAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Top Left");
    var topLeftListener = topLeftAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", FloatingTablesHandler);
    var topLeftMenuItem = subMenu.menuItems.add(topLeftAction);
    
    var topCenterAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Top Center");
    var topCenterListener = topCenterAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", FloatingTablesHandler);
    var topCenterMenuItem = subMenu.menuItems.add(topCenterAction);
    
    var topRightAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Top Right");
    var topRightListener = topRightAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", FloatingTablesHandler);
    var topRightMenuItem = subMenu.menuItems.add(topRightAction);
    
    var bottomLeftAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Bottom Left");
    var bottomLeftListener = bottomLeftAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", FloatingTablesHandler);
    var bottomLeftMenuItem = subMenu.menuItems.add(bottomLeftAction);
    
    var bottomCenterAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Bottom Center");
    var bottomCenterListener = bottomCenterAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", FloatingTablesHandler);
    var bottomCenterMenuItem = subMenu.menuItems.add(bottomCenterAction);
    
    var bottomRightAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Bottom Right");
    var bottomRightListener = bottomRightAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", FloatingTablesHandler);
    var bottomRightMenuItem = subMenu.menuItems.add(bottomRightAction);
    
    var backToTextAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Back to Text");
    var backToTextListener = backToTextAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", FloatingTablesHandler);
    var backToTextMenuItem = subMenu.menuItems.add(backToTextAction);
    
    function FloatingTablesHandler(event) {
        var args = [event.parent.title];
        app.doScript(mainScriptFile, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, args, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "\"" + scriptName + "\" Script");
    }
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    


    The main script reads the argument as follows:

    alert("The argument -- " + args[0]);
    
    


    If my memory is good, of Rorohiko's APID ToolKit can create "Assignable shortcut" menus I don't know this for sure at the moment because these menus a long time ago.

    BTW, the question was asked here, but he has failed.

    Kind regards

    Hi Kasyan,

    If what you're asking, is if it is possible to assign a keyboard

    shortcut in the usual way with a menu created by a script item and then

    of course, of course you can.

    Add the menu item and then assign some k.shortcut you want-

    you will find your menu items in the 'Scripts' category in the keyboard

    Shortcuts dialog box.

  • (Unsupported) keyboard shortcuts added to Premiere Pro?

    A few months ago, I created a 30 minute video that goes into detail about all kinds of missing features in Premiere Pro. Some of these functions have been requested by users for more than a decade and yet do not first... features like save a custom transition, a shortcut for delete performs a transition in the timeline, a shortcut to add a keyframe... the list goes.

    You can watch my video, or you can just read the description of the video to see a quick list of the 57 missing features I'm talking about.

    Video request for Adobe first CC 2014.2 massive feature! (1/2) - YouTube

    I mention in the video that first modding can be the only way to get these features in the program, as long as the developers refuse to add these features for whatever their reasons may be.

    I am particularly interested in the addition of shortcuts not supported, as it seems that the best thing to do, with the greatest benefit. Here is a list of features that I'm hoping to add by myself:

    #1. Each transition should have a keyboard shortcut to apply

    #3. Enable keyboard shortcuts apply all PRESETS, EFFECTS, TRANSITIONS and TRANSITION (new), PRESETS

    #5. A shortcut to remove the transitions (only)

    #6. A shortcut to reverse a clip--(cela peut être fait avec AutoHotKey)

    #7. Shortcuts for the keyframe right click on menu items

    #8. Shortcuts for all the buttons "controls."

    #9. Shortcuts for controls of the layer in the timeline (mute, lock, etc.).

    #11. A shortcut for all GAME video

    #12. A shortcut to the ripple delete clip to the point of reading--(cela peut être fait avec AutoHotKey)

    #14. Effects Panel contextual search--(cela peut être fait avec un script de macro fou, mais il ne fonctionne toujours pas 100 % dele de temps) bar

    #16. A shortcut to close the reference monitor

    #17. A shortcut to close the module of titration

    #18. A shortcut for 'back' in the bin icon display

    So, I downloaded the software plug-in SDK here: Premiere Pro Developer Center | Adobe Developer Connection ... but frankly, I have very little experience with programming. (Good God Jim, I'm an editor, not a programmer!) By reading the documents, however, I don't see ANYTHING that mentions even the words "keyboard" or "shortcut...". »

    He turned to me as if the SDK only has supported for creating new transitions to be used first and create new effects such as the red giant denoiser. Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

    Is it POSSIBLE to use the SDK to add these keyboard shortcuts to first? I don't like how difficult it is. (unless he is having to decompile the whole program into machine code, I still may be crazy enough to at least try).

    I am determined to get these keyboard shortcuts long first. I just need to know if it is possible. If this is the case, I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me to get there.

    Thank you

  • Keyboard shortcut for the Guides of the master in Keynote

    Is there a way to define a keyboard shortcut to show / hide the master Guides in Keynote? Get to the subsection of a subsection of the menu command is a bit of a pain when you have to do a lot.

    Or is it at least possible to include the command in the toolbar when you customize it? I can do that for the normal guides, but not for the master Guides...

    Please Apple, facilitate the work of the creator, and I'll stop complaining about having to use Keynote for presentations at work

    You can create a custom for this keyboard command:

    1 - Apple menu > System Preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > App shortcuts:

    2 - Click on the button "+"

    3 - enter this information (choose your own combination of keys):

    4 - click on add

    5. close Keynote and open speech and the short cut will be added:

  • Keyboard shortcuts for the buttons works irregularly - why?

    When you use the access key for the button attributes, they work sometimes and not others. Three behaviors are observed:

    -use the accesskey times moves the focus and click on the button (correct behavior)

    -use the access key moves the focus only - do not by clicking on the button

    -use the accesskey does nothing

    These problems occur without change installation, restart, etc..

    What could cause this?

    Moreover, 3.6.28 works very well with the exact same web application.

    It might be useful to have a small script for conducting a census of the keyboard shortcuts page. You can open the web console (Ctrl + Shift + k), paste the following options next to the circumflex accent ("' >" ") and press ENTER. A new element is added at the end of the body with the results.

    var aks=document.querySelectorAll("a[accesskey], button[accesskey], input[accesskey]"); var out=document.createElement("pre"); for(var i=0; i<aks.length; i++) out.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Tag:'"+aks[i].nodeName+"'; id:'"+aks[i].id+"'; name:'"+aks[i].name+"'; key:'"+aks[i].getAttribute("accesskey")+"'\n")); document.body.appendChild(out);

  • WLAN on Tecra 9100 - LED should go orange if the s/w keyboard shortcut NOT installed?

    I bought a Tecra 9100 that had been restored to XP SP1 and without good Toshiba utilities that most drivers seemed to be OK - for example screen OK but USB has been 1.1 until I added the Intel Chipset drivers.

    I can't get the WLAN card to work by sliding the switch (close microphone) - also, it does NOT appear in Device Manager. I spotted a post below (which was locked) where Pedro said WiFi hotkey software must be installed to make it work. Two questions:

    1 if the s/w keyboard shortcut IS NOT installed should always be able to mount the light Orange / appear in Device Manager
    2. is there an alternate download site because I tried 20 times in the last 15 hours at: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/cmod-en-20070925121500.zip (for the common modules) and the site just seems to be 'dead' - nothing is received at all

    Thank you very much in advance - I want to become a happy member of Tosh' club... Cheers, Brian R.

    PS; The Tecra has a WiFi tag on the bottom and even a MAC address and I have not yet looked for nothing changed so much material.

    Pedro post follows:
    + Hello +.

    + Is the map original WLAN or you have upgraded on your own? What is with Device Manager, this is the card of wireless network which are listed there? +

    + For the use of WLAN, there are few requirements: +.
    + WLAN switch must not be broken or defective.
    + Wireless network card must be compatible one.
    + The WLAN antenna must be connected correctly.
    + Wireless network card must be installed properly (the right driver must be installed) +.
    + Wireless network card must be enabled in the Device Manager.
    + Wireless network card must be activated using the FN + F8 key combination (Wireless Hotkey V2.0.0.1 must be preinstalled) +.

    (1) first you should check if there is a yellow exclamation (unknown device) in device under network adapter Manager.
    If you find any unknown devices in the network adapter section then your laptop was not equipped with WLan minPCI card!
    The shortcut key has nothing to do with the WLan card status in Device Manager! The keyboard shortcut software only controls the function FN + F8.

    (2) don t know what you mean! The functions of link!

  • Keyboard shortcut for Calculator

    Hello everyone, could someone please tell me how to create a keyboard shortcut for the calculator?

    Rgds

    Roona

    Here is an MS article that may help you:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310417

    A test, I added a shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + G) to my computer and it works fine.

    It also forces me to reach upward, my touchpad and perform sequences of keys or use both hands, and I'm lazy.

    A 'shortened' shorter that I would use would be to simply add the calculator to Quick Launch area (to the immediate right of the Start button), and then I could enter calculator with just a simple mouse click.

    What you see in the quick launch area is really just a file specific to each user, you can access the folder and add more shortcuts and remove shortcuts easily.  I deleted those that XP put there for me since I use them, but I can always add back them.

    You must activate the QL area, if it isn't already.

    For user Jose, my Quick Launch folder is here:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Jose\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    In my region of QL, I put things that I use all the time... Firefox, Chrome, Outlook, office, Services, event viewer...  I might add calculator if I wanted to.  You can drag and drop things directly on the QL area, but be careful not to slide completely off you menu accessories - it is best to copy and paste.  If you accidentally drag it off your Accessories menu, just bring him back and drop it back where it belongs.

    Then, all these things that I use all the time are a simple mouse click whenever I want that they (don't double-click them).

  • Cannot save keyboard shortcuts

    Everyime I try and save my keyboard shortcuts on Photoshop CC it tells me this:

    0Mv8nv.png

    I checked most of the files in my real Photoshop folder in my C drive but can't seem to find this file, I have to change. Most of those I guess would be that the issue is not that the problem is nothing I checked read only it would cause.

    I don't end up uninstalling and reinstalling and right click the PS file as a whole and remove the read only mode but the problem persists.

    I am the only user on this laptop and so should be the system administrator, the installation of things or to change things other than that he doesn't let me if it requires administrative permissions. So I don't quite know what's happening to cause this problem.

    Running Windows 10 Photoshop 64 bit, just installed CC today so last version of said.

    I should also mention that, when adding brushes/color chart/templates via the preset manager that they appear in the menu for them until I have to close and restart PS. When I restart it it's like I never charge anything in the first place. I don't know if these two problems are related, but it's super frustrating, had an older version of PS that gave me nothing but the questions that I've finally updated and it still gives me questions :/

    That's your problem. It of in the wrong place and is in a protected area, and it is even not a keyboard shortcuts folder. Navigate to the correct location and register it should work in your area of Photoshop ID version of user preferences and remembered as the correct location. Here's a look the site right and bad for my Userid on my workstation.

  • Change keyboard shortcuts, use simple characters that are normally reserved for tool Control Panel

    I have a script that I use now that I want to replace the bar cropping tool,

    Can I deselect C for the use of the current culture in keyboard shortcuts. When I then go to menus keyboard shortcuts of applications, I am looking to replace the scripts files > "croptool.jsx" and select "C" and it won't let me not use it as it takes a combination of keys.

    Then I exported the keys and then open in Text edit.

    It seems straight forward, so I added the line up above the vanishing point.

    < command type='Dynamics' name='Script_CROPTOOL'>

    < Shortcut >C< / shortcut >

    < / order >

    < command type='Dynamics' name=' Vanishing Point '>

    < Shortcut >Cmd + Opt + V< / shortcut >

    < / order >

    Then when I load it. He worked in part. In this C now appears in the menu. So anyone know if I can get this working correctly? A little more code can be used to allow simple letters in the wok in "application menus.

    Screen Shot 2016-06-01 at 11.46.12.png

    Under file > Scripts > Script event handler you can bind an Action or Script to an event.

    Select the tool crop could benefit, although I have not yet tested.

  • Where's my harvest keyboard shortcut?

    Am I really stupid, or has disappeared from the C - just harvest keyboard shortcut?

    I can't assign C to crop in either keyboard shortcuts menu. What gives? What other shortcuts that I lost?

    OK, so apparently Adobe added a feature of tools bar tools/hide edit. Which is great.

    Not sure how it got automatically activated.

    For those who have the same problem, click on the... on the toolbar on the left and then uncheck "disable shortcuts for hidden extras. Or just reset the default toolbar in the same menu.

  • Keyboard shortcut for a Page break

    Hello

    I use InDesign Version 20141 on a Macbook Pro.  Operating system is OS X 10.10

    I like to use the Page Break option, located in the Type Menu.  When I enter the keyboard shortcut on my Macbook Pro laptop, it does not.  So I went to change the shortcut, but asked if I want to create a new set of shortcuts.  That sounds complicated to me and I wonder why the default shortcut does not work.   Is there something special about the use of a computer laptop mac that prevents the shortcut to work?

    Patrick

    On a MacBook Pro laptop (that I use as well), there is no dedicated enter key because there is no numeric keypad.

    Page Break (Type > Insert Break character) is command + Enter.

    You can do this on your keyboard by adding the SHIFT key. It would be the command + shift + enter.

    It is not difficult to set up your own set of shortcuts. Just give it a name, like "Patrick shortcuts" and choose it instead of the game by default, which cannot be changed.

  • Keyboard shortcut for fill with the color layer are opposed on my PS CS6 OSX install help?

    Hi all

    I'm kinda a noob and following a tutorial... and found something strange and I wonder if you could help me understand what is happening.

    I have Photoshop CS6 extended on a macbook pro (late 2011).

    I am running OSX v 10.7.5

    I'm the long and the instructor has added a new layer. I did it.

    He then filled the white layer which is its background color (it has foreground black, white background). I have same evidence / background colors.

    Now I thought on mac to fill with the foreground color, you hit Apple + Delete and to fill it with the background, press Option + delete

    It's the exact OPPOSITE for me. I hit Apple + DELETE (or even BACKSPACE) and filled it with my background color, which is white

    If I hit Option + DELETE (or RET.), filled it with my foreground color.

    I tried searching in the area of keyboard shortcuts change... but I do not see these settings anywhere.

    I have an external keyboard plugged into my mac. It is a 3rd party one, but seems otherwise never function normally.

    Keyboard here is: http://pckeyboard.com/page/UKBD/UB40P4A

    Any suggestions why my shortcut keyboard for a fill with the color layer could be reversed?

    Thanks in advance,

  • Keyboard shortcut for an Export Preset Custom question

    Here's my question that I can't find an answer in the forum.

    I'm in grid mode, I use the painter to the gun to paint on the presets.  Now I have a single predefined custom export image I would like to use to export the images I added a custom wait - all by keyboard shortcut.

    Is it possible to use a keyboard shortcut to apply to a custom preset?

    I do not see that you can use the keyboard shortcut for 'export' previous and I see that I can right click and down to my presets, but I would like to be able to select my specific predefined export and apply a keyboard shortcut to this one in particular.   Is there a way?

    (When I try to use export with previous for some reason, it seems by default not preset I wish.)

    I use Lightroom 5; on a mac.

    I really like the features of Premiere Pro or Photoshop where you can shortcuts for custom game, can this feature please be brought to Lightroom?  Or maybe there is already and I'm missing?  Thanks for the help

    There is no provision to customize keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom.  The option "export with previous" refers to the previous export Setup, not the last develop used preset.
