Shortcuts of the stuck tool (Mac)

I have known recent issues with my PS (currently using on Mac), the most obvious being the eyedropper tool. It will take a while for me to explain, but I will anyway.

That holding the ALT key to display the eyedropper tool and then releasing the key will come out the tool. But in my case, once in awhile, I select another color and release the ALT key, the eyedropper tool is still being held, despite me you release the button. I've done a few diagnostics, and I came to the conclusion that this issue is a SOFTWARE and not a hardware problem on my Mac. It is due to take a shortcut on my tablet as well, and using ALT on the Tablet also causes the tool to block once in a while. This applies not only to the pipette, once in a while, change the size of the brush, move tool, EVEN while stuck shift key. It's as if the software still thinks that I am now a key when I'm not. If anyone has the same problem or has a solution, I am very happy because this problem me is frustrating for some time now and has reduced productivity.

Bravo and thanks in advance for all your help and answers!

Have you tried to delete the settings file?

  • PC shortcuts for the pen tool

    Does anyone have a cheat sheet for shortcuts for the pen tool or any detailed instruction starting for PC on Photoshop users essential? I don't have a MAC thank you.

    The main keyboard shortcuts are:

    SHIFT + P to select the pen tool

    Click to create a path with straight lines between points (hold down the SHIFT key to perfectly horizontal or vertical lines) or click and drag for curves by using levers extended to your desired shape.

    Press the Alt key (cursor changes in > when you hover over a point) and you can re - position for example to move one end of a lever regardless of the other end.

    Press Ctrl Key and cursor changes to the white pointer - click anywhere on the path to highlight all points while the Ctrl Key is pressed again to choose a single point. You can then refine this single point, for example by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.

  • Space bar does not work as a shortcut for the hand tool in Illustrator and Photoshop CC

    2 reset all the preferences tool

    3 closing Chrome using Adobe

    4. only using 1 program from adobe at a time

    5. Turning off the coast of shortcuts of the SPACEBAR for Apple spotlight in system preferences

  • Can I create an action that includes a shortcut for the patch tool?

    I am trying to create an action that includes a shortcut for the tool room.  I changed the patch (now R) tool shortcut to be different from the correct place (J), it works fine on the keyboard, but it will not record in action. Is there a way to include this point in the action?

    Something do not have in stock, and there is no menu item for the function you want to save.  The easiest way around your problem is to create a tool preset for the tool part then record by selecting this predefined in your action patch toll to pass to the tool room.

  • How can I configure the keyboard shortcut for the zoom tool to be r-click of the mouse?

    I want to have the right click of my mouse to be the zoom tool in Quark Xpress. Can I make the Z shortcut to choose the Zoom tool instead right click? I know how to enter keyboard shortcuts - don't know what to type for the new shortcut to do a right click. now its 2 steps to zoom rather than in quark 1. not that I want to go back. Laughing out loud.

    In addition, while talking about the differences in migration and additional measures, is there a way I can hide guides and overview of overprinting of the value in a single step? (this is something I often do and was just a simple F7 in quark)

    They are therefore only 2 things that take 2 steps in ID but a quark. not that I want to go back. Laughing out loud

    OK, I've done this since CS2 without need a script. To hide the guides and show an excerpt...

    1) go to "keyboard shortcuts."

    2) go to 'product zone - Tools'. Yes, you would think it would be in sight! But the buttons so that it is at the bottom of the toolbar.

    (3) go in "commands: toggle between preview and default display setting '"

    4) click your cursor inside "New shortcut", then press the key that you want or type in. I chose the unused F2 key

    5) click on the "Assign" button and you're ready. Press the key to move backward.

    As for your mouse Zoom, use Power Zoom as described above, or hold down the Alt/Option key in mode 'Hand' and use the wheel to zoom in and out. Not a single step, but it works!

    Now, you don't miss Quark at all!

  • How can I disable the damned shortcuts to the web developer? E.g. reopen a page Ctrl + Shift + T now opens the console, do not have the basic FF command... Terrible.

    The shortcuts are the same - tools for web developers are now open for CTRL + SHIFT + T rather than reopen a closed tab, etc... It is very annoying.

    I can't delete web developer, but I never wanted to install it.

    Subject: config does not work, or reinstall Firefox...

    Is there one solution other then moving to Chrome?

    Hello!

    I know this is an old post, but I found the solution to your problem.
    I had the same problem but with adblock plus (extension of masking element).

    It uses the same combination of keys ctrl, shift + k and when was rush to the web developer of this combination has opened...

    To DISABLE this shortcut, you must OPEN the console of the web developer and click on the gear which is located in the left side.
    Then, UNCHECK the box that says Console and press the X on the far right close the console.

    Disable your Add on and turn it on again and you'll be fine.
    (or restart Firefox)

    In my case it worked well and instead of "null" in the key of the element AdBlockPlus combination hide now, he says the corresponding key and no longer opens the "web developer console.

    I hope it helps

    (if you want I can provide before/after screenshots to see)

    Thank you

  • Problem with keyboard shortcuts in the filter dialog boxes - CS5 64-bit Windows 7

    While in the filter > sharpening > Unsharp Mask dialog box, I hit the < SPACEBAR > to get the hand in vain tool the screen cursor change cursor default 'box' so I tried again and still no change until I moved the mouse. then only the hand familiar tool icon appeared.  Good, so I then used hand tools, using the mouse to reposition my opinion and released the left mouse button, but the tool hand cursor remained on the screen until I moved the mouse again.  I have experienced the same problem (always in the filter > sharpening > dialogue emphasis) with the shortcuts of the Zoom tool using the ctl <>and < alt > key.  Not really a problem of killer but confused, not less.  Holder to try to solve the problem, I have known the exact symptoms same for each of the filter dialog boxes > blur filter > noise, filter > sharpness, filter > aesthetic and filter > other.  I also have Photoshop CS3 installed and all shortcuts work as expected.  Anyone else seeing this odd behavior?

    What you see is a bug.   We have an internal bug on this issue.

  • Keyboard shortcut for the Spot removal tool

    With my previous version of LR (2.1), I was able to turn the spot removal tool using "N" on the keyboard.  With 3.3 that strikes "N" while the removal tool the cash is active has sent me to the library which I think is a form of disabling, but not the one I'm used to.

    Changed the shortcut for this tool?

    Mac OS x (latest version), LR 3.3

  • How in the world does Mac loses its universal as shortcuts CmdC (copy)?

    How in the world does Mac loses its universal as shortcuts CmdC (copy)?

    Lost the feature universal paste. Manually add them back in keyboard shortcuts. They do not work in all programs. If I copy and paste a url in a browser, it is not paste in ANYTHING. What an absolutely frustrating experience! The most common features have disappeared and now they don't work well. Really? Come on Apple! This is not what Mac users are accustomed to Apple.

    Run disk utility to see if the startup disk needs repair.

    You can also try a Safe Mode boot that removes the system caches that can help...

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try to copy / paste keyboard shortcuts.

  • The cutting tool: how to assign a keyboard shortcut for the screenshot

    Hi all

    I have document in a software application menus, which means I have to take screenshots, including active mice.
    Problem: as soon as I had the operation I want snip, I must use a mouse click to activate the Snipping Tool window and click the screenshot. He loses the selections/sub-sub-menus that I wanted to take a picture.
    I used to have this screenshot custom software that allowed a shortcut (rather than a mouse click) activate the screen capture, and who lost no transitional mouse selections (i.e. whatever is selected in blue, submenus are open).
    Any ideas on how to do it with the Snipping Tool?
    Thank you!

    To capture context menus, the combination of keys Ctrl-Fn-PrntScrn undocumented is necessary, as explained.
