Keyboard shortcuts launch when I am trying to type text. (CS4)

I'll try to type text in some places (for example to name a layer or a group in the layers panel or enter a font name in the character Panel) and instead of displaying the characters, Photoshop will launch its keyboard shortcuts. For example, if I try to name a "bat" layer, it will leave the name of the empty layer and it will highlight the Brush tool, the selector tool, then the text tool.

I can type the text of my document with the text tool and I can also type the name of the document in 'Save' and 'new '.

I don't know if I've accidentally hit something on my keyboard that made this place, but I've never had this problem before.

I ran the updates. I use CS4 on OS x 10.6.8.

Any ideas?

nicostar, you can try to hold CTRL + ALT + Shift (pc) or CMD + Option + shift (Mac), right after that you click on the Photoshop icon to launch, and you should receive a prompt asking if you want to delete your preferences.

I suspect a third party software that is unique to your system, as I've never heard on / has experienced such a problem.

  • How to limit navigation directly via the URL when the user tries to type the page number and access this page in ORACLE APEX 4.2

    Hi all

    I developed an application where I have 6 pages and 5 tabs and based on the user role I posted the tabs for the user to access these pages.

    But when the user, who doesn't have access to the particular page (say, page 2), but still the user can navigate to it directly by typing the page number in the URL.

  • 2015 CC customized keyboard shortcuts

    Hello

    I tried CC 2015 and the biggest issue I have so far, is that keyboard shortcuts custom I painstakingly wrote in the document "Adobe After Effects Mac en_US Shortcuts.txt 13.2', located (similar to the CC 2014) in Effects/13.5 Volume/users/user/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After is being written over at Ae launch. So, no more custom shortcuts for me at the moment.

    I'm surprised that there are no recent posts to this topic, so I wonder if I'm the only one with this problem.

    Any ideas why my Ae replaces my updated the document "Adobe After Effects 13.2 Mac Shortcuts.txt en_US. Everything in the modified document is identical to the "Adobe After Effects Mac en_US Shortcuts.txt 13.2" document by default (with the exception of my modifier keys). No error message, just replaced at the launch of the Ae. I tried write protecting her updated "Adobe After Effects Mac en_US Shortcuts.txt 13.2" but who did cause an error of Ae.

    Thanks for any help,

    OK, so since no. we have something to offer, I tell myself that I have to spend time on it on my own. Here's what I discovered:

    The new keyboard shortcuts for After Effects, Ae, Creative Cloud 2015 text file is named "Adobe After Effects Mac en_US Shortcuts.txt 13.5" affixed to 2014 is named "Adobe After Effects 13.2 Mac Shortcuts.txt en_US. For the last few updates everything we had to do was rename the previous text with the name of the new text file and replace in the more recent Preferences folder.

    However, it did not work for the most recent update. The old text file header and the text file are exactly the same, so I me assuming that the rest of the text is the same except for a few pieces of text for my personal shortcuts, I changed... But of course it was wrong.

    I did a comparison more near the previous text file and that of CC2015.

    203 - at the line 'major_version' = '80' is now 'major_version' = "85"... That's all. That was what was causing the copy / paste my previous text of shortcuts to be rejected by Ae CC 2015.

    So, I copy and pasted everything after 'major_version' = '85' on line 203... the text file is now is more replaced at EI launches and all my shortcuts work in reality... However, some of the predefined shortcuts that work are now no longer works. This means that Adobe has changed some of the other key basic mapping in 2015 of CC.

    Here are two major changes that I found so far:

    line 402 - "TimePlay' = '(space)' doesn't exist more in 2015 CC and is now at line 405 - 'TimeSpacebarPlay' ="(space),"

    also in the new CC 2015 "Preview" = "(Pad0) (PadInsert)(macControl+0)" is now "PreviewNumpad0" = "(Pad0) (PadInsert)(macControl+0)" on line 437

    These two shortcuts render preview and should not be changed.

    I guess you need to decide if its worth your efforts to go to the text file and just change the keys you want to change, and leave the rest alone. Or, if the doing some precision copy and paste are better. A pain so be it, but its good to know that the mod custom keyboard shortcut doesn't work effectively again.

  • 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.

  • Keyboard shortcut to switch from the point of view of culture and harvest

    I often change between Perspective culture and harvest all working on a group of images.  I know that I can easily switch between the two with my rodent, but I prefer a keyboard shortcut. 'C' switches to the current type of the harvest, but often is not the one I want.

    Y at - it a keyboard shortcut to switch between crops?

    Some examples after all editing is done. .

    I typically work on 3-4 images for a single image. In the first, I use agricultural Perspective for squares to the top of the image. In the second, and others, I use a normal harvest. I'm in class for a group of more than 100 executives.

  • When I try to type text, Photoshop crashes and stops working.

    Hello. I recently installed some special fonts in my PC. I used them in Photoshop in a file called "Letterblock prime". They worked very well. I saved the file under a new name, and then I tried to open Letterblock bonus and make another. But when I open Letterblock bonus, I got a message saying that some fonts are missing, and I clicked on "Do not resolve." Photoshop frozen and did not work at all. I couldn't even close the application and had to use force to stop smoking.

    Then I opened Photoshop and open a different file, a JPEG Normal, just to see what would happen if I tried to type text on the subject. I clicked on the "T" button, but there is no blinking cursor, as a symbol of the cross and Photoshop froze again and I couldn't do anything at all with it. I had to resort to force to leave again.

    These special fonts may cause this problem? Do you think I should uninstall them?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Adobe also has a font, you may want to look at troubleshooting guide.

  • Volume control keyboard shortcuts do not work when headphones are in

    What it says on the Tin.  I have Windows 7 and the keyboard shortcuts for the volume control function perfectly when I use the speakers in my laptop, but now when I switch to the headset, none of them work.  I screwed in the helmet of control panel settings, but there is nothing about keyboard shortcuts.  I tried looking for a program by the name of keyboard, but there is no such thing on my laptop.  There is only a descriptive window in the control panel that makes another diddly tell me that Yes, I have indeed a keyboard.

  • Keyboard shortcuts does not when in the layers palette

    In photoshop CC so the last thing I clicked on was a layer in the layers palette, on my keyboard shortcuts do not work until I click somewhere on the art map. This has happened for quite some time and I think I got the question out of one on when to use CS6. But now, it's a constant problem even after reboot.


    It's as if Photoshop thinks I'm trying to access something in the layers palette with keyboard shortcuts, and given that this isn't an option, is for me the noise alert that this function is not possible.


    It is VERY frustrating because I use shortcuts ('P' for the pen tool, 'V' to move tool, etc.) constantly while he was working and need to make sure that I click on the artboard all the time first.

    This WAS corrected with the CC 2014 update! Yay! So far so good. Thank you Adobe.

  • When I click on "View history" I completely lose the Firefox menu bar, I can't even quit the application without using a keyboard shortcut.

    The question describes all this: when I select "view history", the menu bar disappears, so I have no way of navigation, there is no arrow to the left, nothing. I quit Firefox, but only using the Mac keyboard shortcut. I can go back to a previous window only by moving the historic window and I can close this previous window - there is a button for this - but there is NOTHING that will allow me to change, or close, the historical window. My only option is to leave the program.

    Both of your corrections helped. The first reminded me that I could simply use command-W to close the library window, because it did not show a close"" button. But your second response on rename these two files really made the tour of Firefox back to his old self once more. Now, everything is back to normal. Thank you.

  • 'Ctrl + End' keyboard shortcut does not work as expected. I tried safe mode. does not move the tab to the end of such specified list, just scroll to the end of the page.

    According to http://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/keyboard+shortcuts,.
    'Ctrl + End' should move the active tab to the end of the list of tabs.

    But the shortcut does not work. Only, it scrolls to the end of the current page as if only "End" is pressed.

    I tried the mode without failure of firefox and closed all other open programs.

  • y at - it a keyboard shortcut for go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the address bar?

    I can use Alt + D to reach the address bar to enter a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page was opened, using a shortcut key? I have the commands in the shortcut keys page doesn't recognize as not being what I want.

    Not as far as I know. Sites may assign a keyboard shortcut to a text field if they like, known as an AccessKey, but he is not necessarily going to be any consistency, and the site you may not be using one.

    It is possible, there could be an add-on or userscript to help with this. Or otherwise, someone might be able to write one for a particular site.
