Keyboard shortcut to run Services system [Mac]

In Indesign (and everything else) under the Application Menu, there is a submenu 'Services '. I want to be able to use the keyboard shortcut for one of them but Indesign does not seem to recognize it, and I'm unable to assign.

I should be able to type a formula (ie. 12 + 3) in a text frame, and then select the text and fix by pressing CMD + *. InDesign does not recognize the good shortcut. If I have the selected text and use the mouse to select the menu, it solves the equation.

Is there anyway I can access without writing a new script to what already exists?

The shortcut CMD + * is there by default.

In order to use it in InDesign, I moved and he scripted, put the script in the scripts Panel and he gave a keyboard shortcut.

activate application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
tell application "System Events"
     tell process "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
           tell menu bar 1
                tell menu bar item "InDesign"
                     tell menu 1
                          tell menu item "Services"
                               tell menu 1
                                   tell menu item "Script Editor"
                                        tell menu 1
                                             click menu item "Get Result of Applescript"
                                        end tell
                                   end tell
                              end tell
                          end tell
                     end tell
                end tell
          end tell
     end tell
end tell

It could be a single line, but it works.

  • Why in Illustrator CC 2014 keyboard shortcuts do not work in Mac OS 10.9.4?

    I have a Mac Pro (end 2013) with these specs:

    Memory 64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC

    Graphics  AMD over-pants D700 6144

    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

    I downloaded the latest version of the Adobe software today so not what is of course the question.

    I don't think there is another workaround to let Illustrator shortcuts work with Prefs systems together as I showed and manage functions in other programs by using the additional "fn" key on the keyboard. It of a pain and was not required prior to the upgrade of Mac OS Mavericks, but I guess I will learn new finger stretching exercises.

  • Keyboard driver Microsoft doesn't support Mac OSX Lion of Montain 10.8.2

    Hi people, I have a Microsoft Wireless Laser keyboard 5000, which has been a boon for me over the past five years. The weekend last, everything has changed. I did a clean install of the operating system in a Mac mini, and all the special keys on the keyboard became pretty dead ever since. Deeply sad for me, because I had used more than 20 special keys by day, all the while and now they´re seems to have disappeared.

    What's funny about the problem, it's that I use last update OS X because it was available, so I have the same 10.8.2 OS X that I had before the clean install, when the keyboard is quite alive. Today West only QWERTY keys available, sad and boring.

    I m using the latest version of the software Microsoft, version 8.2.0 and d305 and tried to follow the suggestion to Microsoft keyboard help starting just the items of sessions, but it no longer works. Just qwerty.

    Is there a way to retrieve my keyboard of dead land? Thank you very much for your attention!

  • Cannot change keyboard shortcuts

    It drives me crazy that Adobe does not use the standard Mac keyboard shortcuts in their applications for Mac.  I finally got pretty annoyed that I went to correct them in Dreamweaver.  I found the place to set shortcuts, but when I try to replace the end key (for end of line) with Cmd + right nothing happens.  If I got a letter, for example, that the key appears, but it does not seem to recognize Cmd + right arrow as a sequence valid.  Before you try to add that I deleted the shortcut Cmd + right which was associated with "right to speak".

    Hi guys,.

    We are aware of this problem and fix this problem for the next update, where keyboard shortcuts would be like

    Move the Word left CTRL + LEFT

    Move the right word - CTRL + RIGHT

    Pass at the beginning of the current line - ALT + LEFT

    Move at the end of the current line - ALT + RIGHT

    I would like to appereciate so please sign improvement asks https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform to not be able to define keyboard shortcuts unless it includes a character of alpahbetical

  • Photoshop keyboard shortcuts for Actions CC does not not on Mac Mini Mavericks

    I recently started using PS CC after several years of use of prior versions.  I also have a new Mac Mini running the Mavericks.

    When I record a new action in Photoshop, it is saved and working properly, except the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

    I tried many combinations of different keys who worked on PS versions under the OS' are earlier, but when I press the shortcut keys nothing happens.

    I turned off all unused Mavericks shortcuts in Mac system preferences > keyboard > shortcuts.

    Any idea what I can do to get their work?

    Thank you

    PROBLEM SOLVED.  With my new Mac Mini, I also had a new Logitech K750 Mac wireless keyboard and a wireless Logitech M310 mouse.

    I just unplugged the new keyboard and mouse and re-connected my ancient and old wired Macally keyboard Logitech wireless mouse.  Bingo!  Photoshop Action shortcuts now work as advertised.

    My apologies for not trying it sooner, but since the new mouse and keyboard worked with absolutely all other applications I have, I suspect them.

    Hi melmanart, start safe mode and see if the problem persists:

  • Keyboard shortcut to click on a button in a drop-down window in Thunderbird Mac?

    I recently migrated to Thunderbird 3 on an older Mac OS x 10.4.11 to a whole new Mac OS x 10.9.3. The migration has been almost transparent, and I'm loving many useful features of the new Thunderbird! However...

    There is ONE thing that I do all the time which is not supported by a keyboard shortcut, and I couldn't find anything in the Support forums that relates specifically to it. When I start an email and decide I want to throw it away, I hit command W (close) and get a drop-down window that can gives me the choice to save (as a draft in my case), not save and cancel. The ESC key active Cancel, of course, but none of the other buttons has a keyboard shortcut.

    It's almost the only time wherever I have to grab my mouse when I use TB and I find this very frustrating. I have other applications on the Mac which can accept inside these windows keyboard shortcuts and really missing TB. Is it possible to add these shortcuts? I'd like to be able to use the D command to close an unsent message without saving changes.

    Several people spoke of keyconfig, but we don't know if this works on this version of TB Mac and it is also unknown if it allows access to the buttons I want control. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    The add-on keyconfig is up and running here in TB 24 & 32, but to install it, you will first need to install this add-on:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/CheckCompatibility/

    I found the instructions to create a shortcut to save as a draft and close the window (Ctrl-S is the default key for save as draft), so that we can adapt that Don ' t Save (although Windows, Alt - N is the default key for the command of Don't Save).

    You can have better luck post this question in the keyconfig forum quoted in the first link.

  • Change the keyboard shortcuts on Mac

    Hello

    DW CS6.

    I tried to change edition key code for "move at the beginning of the line" and "pass the end of line" be Cmd + left and Cmd + right as they are for most other applications on Mac. Beginning and end are the mappings in the Standard of Dreamweaver file, but these keys aren't on the keyboards of laptop and Cmd + left and right are the conventions these days anyway (yes I know using the Fn key I can reproduce beginning and end, but I want consistency with everything I use).

    I created a shortcut in duplicate using the Dreamweaver UI, but when I go to edit a shortcut, or add a new using the interface user of DW, it will not recognize the arrow keys. By example, by pressing Cmd + left does nothing and it is not registered.

    So, I went and edited the shortcut file and put myself in the changes, but when I run the application Dreamweaver ignores these changes.

    Here's the shortcut file changes I made. Note I have removed the Cmd of the move and salt Word leaving Opt as the modifier (agai the Mac convention) and then used Cmd to MoveStartLine, MoveEndLine, SelStartLine and SelEndLine.

    But when I launch DW these key parameters are ignored. In the user interface, they are empty.

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_MoveWordLeft" key = "" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_MoveWordLeftMac" key = "Opt + Left" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_MoveWordRight" key = "" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_MoveWordRightMac" key = "Opt + Right" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_SelWordLeft" key = "" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_SelWordLeftMac" key = "Opt + SHIFT + left" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_SelWordRight" key = "" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_SelWordRightMac" key = "Opt + shift + right" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_MoveStartLine" key = "Cmd + Left" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_MoveEndLine" key = "Cmd + Right" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_SelStartLine" key = "Cmd + Shift + left" / >

    < SHORTCUT ID = "DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_SelEndLine" key = "Cmd + shift + right" / >

    Can someone tell me how to do the remapping these shortcuts?

    Thank you.

    Since CMD + left/right are native keyboard shortcuts to go to the beginning/end of the line, you can achieve the desired result by removing customized in Dreamweaver keyboard shortcuts.

    For each of the following items, select it and then click on the "-" (less, "point remote") button:

    Changing code > move the left Word

    Changing code > move the right word

    Editing document > go to the next word

    Editing document > go to previous word

  • Keyboard shortcut "Move the focus to the next window in the active application" system ignored

    Hello. Other than, for example, InDesign, Photoshop (12.0.2 x 64, Mac OS X 10.6.6 MacPro 4,1) seems to ignore the keyboard shortcut 'Move focus to the next window in the application active' systemic (in my case, and I think that generally, cmd - <). The key combination is not used by the set of keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop; in fact, Photoshop refuses to accept it as a shortcut, favourable to its use as a shortcut to System. But then why is inoperative in Photoshop and how to make it work?

    Thank you very much

    Adobe uses Ctrl Tab.

    CTRL F6 is the command of apple, I think you're talking about.

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not work in Firefox on Mac OS 10.7.2 9.0.1

    I just bought a new MacBook Air with Mac OS Lion for the first time. No keyboard shortcut does work in Firefox 9.0.1 with a new facility. Command-T or W or N CXZ - none of them do anything. They have all the flash of the appropriate menu bar (so the Word file menu flashes when I press Cmd - T) but nothing happens.

    If I start by opening the menu and press the shortcut, it works.

    Sorry, my fault. I use a program called ukulele to create a custom layout that matches my physical keyboard. It seems lion it causes some side effects in different programs - this is the more remarkable in Firefox and Thunderbird. I returned to the standard input and everything works.
