The space bar shortcuts: hand tool does and does not

When working on a document (in PS cs6) and pressing the SPACEBAR to quickly access the hand tool does nothing.

What I've tried so far:

  • reset the settings
  • change the shortcut key (was not possible)
  • Reinstall
  • Google

Any suggestions?

PS: I am aware there is a somewhat similar problem for windows users, which has been discussed here , but there are slight differences between my problem and one for windows users.

Try to repeatedly hit the H key and the SPACEBAR several times, each in quick succession.

I didn't get that since CS4, and at that time this was an older version of MS Entourage running in background that triggers the deactivation of the H key and the space bar to call the hand upward.

If it doesn't, you have damaged something and lost a few seconds.

  • The space bar shortcuts: showing hand tool but does not

    Trial of runing the CS6 on a Windows 7 laptop (x 64). I was in Photoshop (64) and noticed that when I pressed the space bar for the open image panorama, would show the hand icon, but the tool will not work. No matter how many times I click and drag, the image remains. If I select MANUALLY select the hand tool, it works, but the SPACEBAR shortcut key does not work. This problem persists through the 32 & 64 bit versions of Photoshop.

    Ideas? Help?

    Thanks for the help, Dennis & Co.

    Now, it's embarrassing confession time. I did more tests and found that the problem has persisted through various Adobe Applications. So I started looking for the causes of the problem with my system and noticed that TouchFreeze, a utility to disable the trackpad of mobile during the seizure to prevent the cursor jump around the screen of the Palm of your hand, was running (I only turn it on when I went to type extended). And, as soon as I left it, the space key hand tool shortcut has started working again. I use a wireless USB mouse &, so I do not know why the conflict occurred. Guess on some small level, the two could not agree.

    I am concerned when I saw many similar messages from the forum as paulburd, which dates back to earlier versions of CS. Hope he and others manage to find other easy patches - I feel like I got lucky.

  • Space bar to hand tool is no longer works?

    I did no update AFAIK, but on opening Illustrator today the SPACEBAR to move the page (hand tool) no longer works, and frustrating, it must use the shortcut (H) instead.  Is this an update of Adobe?  Someone at - it's not how to get it back to normal?

    Thank you!

    Adam,

    If the things that must operate simply refuse of (exhaustion all the possibilities (and carefully making sure you (all) make the necessary things)), you can try the list below.

    Sometimes, (some) things may fail or stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it is perhaps a kind corruption (temporary or permanent), or even preference settings which disturbs, which can be cured with something on the following list put in place in order to provide a catch-all solution for otherwise intractable cases. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for cases less serious and goes two ways 3) and 4) to reset the default preferences (easily but irreversibly and more laboriously but more completely and also reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how to go or who can apply.

    The following is a general list of things, try when

    (A) the question is not in a specific file,

    (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

    (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

    You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted/inconvenient preferences); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    More serious still (it can be serious because you may need to restore the plugins and whatnot if you've customized things), you can:

    6 (A) uninstall (check the box to delete the preferences, if any), B) run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) and C) reinstall. You can try without step B), but sometimes it is necessary, because otherwise things can persist.

  • Draw the shape of shortcut Center (option) does not (eyedropper instead)

    Hello!

    I have a little problem with the tool shape in Photoshop CS6 (Mac). I have not noticed when it started, but before, when I wanted to draw a shape from its Center, I would hold the Option key, key, but now when I do, it appears the eyedropper tool. The shift key still works to draw perfect circles or squares.

    I looked in preferences but haven't found anything related to that. Of course, I could click on the gear icon on the top bar and check the center of From option, but who would defy the general idea that underlies the keyboard shortcuts...

    Thanks for the help!

    What happens if you start to draw the shape, then press and hold the Alt key? The same thing happens?

    Hello

    I want centered vertically align something (for example, a label) on a page with the qml following, but it is not aligned properly on the keyboard BB (720 x 720), it aligns on the contrary always on top. It aligns not centered vertically as expected on BB 10 all touch (1280 x 768).

  • The CC 2015 Photoshop patch tool does not work as it should.

    In source view instead of giving me what I select, it gives me a a grey gradient. I've tried the settings but nothing seems to work. Can someone please confirm that it is in fact a bug. Also I tried the update through clouds but I get an error if a problem there too. My current version is 2015.1.2

    The reason why you are unable to update, it is that you already have the latest version.

  • Loss of capacity for the panorama with the space bar

    With Illustrator 19.2.1, I seem to lose the ability to pan on the page with the whitehand by pressing the space bar. Anyone else seeing this? If I restart my mac, I'll get it again.

    I, too, had it coming. Randomly (it seems). And it also happens in InDesign. (I use CS6 apps). And more often since the update of my Mac OS to El Capitan.

    BUT, read the various discussions online, I found that some attributed this to the light of browsers running at the same time.

    I have closed Safari and Chrome. Voila! I now have my Pan and zoom shortcuts back! . . .

    Of course, YMMV, but it worked for me. (And it might also explain why some have found that restarting solves; reboot would mean that they had probably not web browsers open when they immediately checked Adobe applications for the space bar shortcuts).

    I hope this helps.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones plate fragile plastic under the space bar

    Hi all!

    I just bought the Bold 2 (9700), and I find that the plastic plate just below the SPACEBAR (between the spacer bar and chromium) goes up and down like a coward.

    When I type and press the space bar or any key in the last line, the plate moves and creates an irritating sound as soon as I pick up my thumb after pressure on the space bar, it sticks a little and let go since his coward & fragile.

    I have no warranty on my phone that I bought an unlocked device and not by the carrier. Can I fix this myself and how?

    Thank you very much in advance

    This plate appears just outside.

  • Using the space bar to move through the pane puppet causes the timeline to play and error that appears

    When you press the space bar to bring up the hand tool to move around in the puppet part what happens to play the scenario after releasing where you want to be looking on the puppet. Sometimes this translates this error for me.

    Adobe.FaceTracker.js:1320: illegal access

    The error does not cause an accident, just straight up POP and I have to click OK.

    Hi Dale... The issue of reading from when you try to make a bar spacing-pan in the Panel of puppets has been corrected in the next Preview 2.

    I was not able to reproduce the error 'illegal access', though. Do you remember if it appeared after having ceased to pan or stop playback or while panning/reading occurred?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones middle of the space bar does not work?

    Hi all

    I used a company Blackberry issued before, but I just bought myself a new model of the curve a few days ago.

    I had a hard time typing today, and I realized that this is because the part of the space bar does not work. Specifically, if I push on the left or right edge of the space bar, I get a space. But if I press in the center of the space bar, the button clicks but 2/3 of the time that no space appears. So I have to press the button 2 or 3 times to get a space. Or I have to press the edges of the space bar.

    Is this a problem with my specific blackberry or this entire line has this problem?

    I should ask T-Mobile for a repair or replacement? I just got a few days... someone had success treats this issue before?

    Thank you all!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    I've not seen all messages more precisely the space bar. It may be as simple as a dust or dirt stuck under the key.

    If it was me, I take it immediately and get a new one. It may be defective. Why pay good money for something that may have a permanent problem?

    I hope this helps!

    If this answers your question, please close the message by using the options on the key of the kudo.

    Thank you very much!

    Since the installation of El Capitan, my streaming to my Audioengine DAC D2 cut after 12 minutes (the default duration of sleep). It will restart by pressing the space bar. When I change the duration of sleep, the cut outs are becoming more frequent and intermittent. Help?

    I checked the wifi and changed frequency (new modem, frequency change made no difference). The Board battery seems fine - all updates well. My computer is an iMac (2011), 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with a new AMD Radeon graphics card. I recently installed a State strong 1 TB SATA drive and fitted with a LaCie Porsche 4 to USB for backup and a 4TB disk storage RAID LaCie drive.

    I'm frustrated, having to come in my computer since my living room every 12 minutes to continue to listen to Spotify on my stereo system.

    My guess is there a bug in the software of sleep in El Capitan, which disrupts his (I've tried different USB ports connect the Audioengine sender and same thing).

    Should I go back to Yosemite?
