What I am doing wrong? My custom keyboard shortcut will not work.

CS5, Mac.

I want to assign a keyboard shortcut for "isolate an object selected. I found the list shortcut and assigned an F key, but it doesn't work. I turned OFF all the contradictory system shortcuts, in "keyboard Options. What I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

Maybe worth a try: go to the Actions palette menu and activate the Mode button so that can quickly see if the F7 key is assigned to an action (which probably does nothing).

F that are assigned to the actions keys supplant the F keys defined as General keyboard shortcuts.

    Bill,

    The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((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);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

  • Tool of Photoshop keyboard shortcuts do not work between two monitors

    Hello

    My friend works on Photoshop CS6, with 2 monitors and a Wacom tablet. Keyboard shortcuts do not work for one of its tools, brush sizes etc... It must manually, click on each individual tool and resize brushes, makes his workflow much slower. The keyboard works with other programs and the Wacom tablet works fine.

    For example, when making a mask and using the Brush tool, it can select B for the Brush tool. Then, as she is brushing, she cannot change the size of the brush, opacity of the brush or press the backslash on the keyboard to see the mask. She must manually, go to the toolbar and click the desired option.

    There seems to be a break with between the 2 monitors and keyboard. Any suggestion would be great.

    Thank you!

    Adobe Story over my keyboard shortcuts do not work. I'm on a Macbook. I'm really tired of using an obsolete Mac and Final draft AV, but I can't get this Adobe Story to work at all.

  • Some ALT keyboard shortcuts do not work in the resolution of the screen Panel

    PROBLEM:

    It seems that the resolution of the screen control panel dialog box some accessed via the ALT keyboard shortcuts do not seem to.

    The Alt-combinations that do not seem to work are listed:

    Alt + s   (' Display: "menu drop-down)

    Alt + O   ("' Orientation:" menu drop-down ")

    ALT + M   ("" Several screens: "menu drop-down")

    Is it possible to access them using some/different specified keyboard shortcuts or is it a case that they have not been implemented?

    The following Reproduction method was tested using two and three monitors attached with a multi-display compatible video card (see further below for a test instance), although the problem can still occur with a single, or more than three monitors.

    MODE OF REPRODUCTION:

    (1) open the control panel.

    (2) select 'View' then 'Adjust the resolution' (or simply select "Adjust screen resolution" If a category view).

    (3) once the screen resolution dialog, hold down the ALT (left) (notice the different points on the page which reveal a letter underlined in their chain to suggest this is accessible by pressing the corresponding key on the keyboard).

    "(4) with [ALT] key again press the [R] key on the keyboard and notice how this will display the corresponding resolution:" drop-down list (it's very well and as expected).

    (5) now release both keys and press the [ESC] key to clear the menu drop down.

    (6) and repeat steps 3-4 but this time using the key [O] instead of [R] (in theory, this should appear the "Orientation:" menu drop-down).

    (7) notice how nothing is happening, i.e. the "Orientation:" drop-down menu does not open upward.

    (8) repeat step 5.

    (9) now to repeat the following steps 6 through 8 for each of the keys: [D] ("' Display:" "), [M] (" "several screens:" ").

    (10) even after noticing how these keyboard shortcuts do not seem to work as suggested points out when you press [ALT].

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not work in .saveDialog or .saveDlg

    Hey all,.

    First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this and help. It is greatly appreciated.

    I'm working on a simple script where it exported an InDesign file to PDF, opening a record the dialog window for the user to select the location to save and give it a name.

    We have another system that generates the name for us because we just simply copy and paste into the window. This works well when there is a normal export using InDesign built way to do, but when I try and do it through the script, keyboard shortcuts do not seem to work.

    No idea why?

    Here is an example of the code in the loop...

    //========================== Export PDF ================================//
    
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myFolderName = myDoc.filePath;
    
    
    var myDocumentName = myDoc.name.slice (0, -5);
    
    
    //Apply a name to the PDF file based on the INDD file, but without the .indd extension
    //var myFileName = myFolderName + "/" + myDocumentName;
    var myFileName = File(myDoc.name);
    var myFile = myFileName.saveDlg("Please insert a file name");
      
    //Do not open the PDF Export dialog box. Set "false" to "true" if you want the dialog box.
    myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, "Email");
    
    //========================== End  - Export PDF Script ================================//
    

    Now, I'm not expert in script, I get everything, follow tutorials and try to piece things together (learning by doing), so any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if you can explain your answer in plain English

    If I did not make myself clear, let me know and I'll explain it another way.

    Thanks in advance.

    Your screenshot indicates that the dialog box has been with ScriptUI. If this is the case, then you have your explanation: ScriptUI windows do not like copy/cut/paste shortcuts. It has become better in the latest versions on Windows, but it's no good for you. Anyway, there is nothing you can do about it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Where should I look to fix this?

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not work after changing the blending mode to a layer

    There is a strange bug that I experienced with photoshop. Whenever I change the blending mode to a layer (for example by selecting "Multiply" in the menu drop-down blending mode), my keyboard shortcuts stop working until I have click on the canvas again. It's annoying because often, I'll be on the Brush tool and I did draw on the canvas and press ctrl + z to re - activate keyboard shortcuts. I'm curious to know if this problem occurs to someone else and if anyone has found a solution for this.

    Version of Photoshop: 20150722r.168 x 64

    Operating system: Windows 10

    It happens on Windows, because the drop-down list with blend modes remains highlighted or active (around the blue line). You can press ENTER to confirm and delete the highest point around blend mode dropdown or use keyboard shortcuts to change the layer blending mode. To change the layer blend mode, you must have selected layer and then press Shift + Alt + letter for the blend mode. This shortcut does not work in the case where the tool you are using have mode option in the blending Options bar.

    Hello

I searched the Dells site but can't seem to find the driver for the keyboard. Anyone know what we can call the driver? or what else could it be? Thank you!

    Yes, I checked it... Thanks if. I'll do a full reinstall to see if that solves it.

  • 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.

    I had a load of a keyboard and a USB mouse, and they work, so it would be a kind of compatiability issue?

    So I know that there are be able to enter them. Could be a driver problem type? Or something else? If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very grateful.

  • 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,

    DK

    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.
