Final Cut Pro 7 Shortcut Keys

[In Libman]

Iwas having this problem too, unfortunately i couldnt pinpoint when or why my shortcuts decided not to work. The only soloution i found was to reset my keyboard shortcuts and that fixed it for now. Good luck!

I've seen this on one of the forum posts already earlier ... and wondering if this has been fixed already or if there is a free update to fix this on my install, or if i need to enable some kind of setting?

I am using Nitro v13.15.1.282

I am just hoping / wondering / checking to see if there is a fix for the other way i was describing, where in you use the ALT key, then go to F then use the shortcut keys suggested by the tooltip to access the said command.

It seems to work with the other menus except the "FILE menu" which i know is quite basic and may just have been overlooked in the version i have. That feature makes what is an otherwise very good program seem "unpolished"

I've assigned shortcut keys to numerous application shortcuts (right click the shortcut > Properties > Shortcut tab > Shortcut key). I've been using these shortcut keys for years with no problems, but this morning they stopped working normally.

The actual cause is Nvidia's overlay, which as of 2019 is called "In-Game Overlay" in the settings page within GeForce Experience, and is controlled by the "NVIDIA Share" process. The overlay itself also listens for hotkeys; presumably that interaction is the source of the problem.

As a workaround, disabling the "In-Game Overlay" setting within GeForce Experience will prevent the indicated problem - that shortcut keys no longer work when you are on the desktop, i.e. all programs are minimized. Enabling the overlay feature will prevent shortcut keys from working in that situation.

Unlike the asker, I found that the shortcut keys will work so long as any program* is unminimized - it does not even need to be focused. Nvidia's overlay has special behavior regarding the desktop itself, but this bug is not dependent on the related setting (Privacy Control -> Desktop Capture) within the nVidia Overlay.

*This includes, for example, even the properties pane of a shortcut. However, it does NOT include UWP apps such as the modern Windows Calculator or the modern Personalization dialog. It also does not include the Nvidia Overlay itself, nor utilities like RainMeter.

This morning, the October 2018 Windows Update finally became available for me to install (Windows 10, version 1809). As soon as I installed it, my third monitor stopped being recognized. At that point, shortcut keys were still working in the problematic way described in the question.

In troubleshooting the monitor problem, I deinstalled my nVidia driver and reinstalled the latest version. Once I finally got all of my monitors working again, shortcut keys were working consistently.

However, I don't want the shortcut cluttering my desktop so I want to hide it somewhere, but when the shortcut is moved from the desktop it stops working. This includes moving it to the StartMenu folder.

This might not exactly answer how to fix this specific issue with how windows behaves with application keyboard shortcuts. But I had this same problem like just yesterday, and the alternative solution I found worked best for me (and as a nice bonus doesn't require me to have a shortcut on my desktop or anywhere else) was using AutoHotkey

The above script will run C:\Program.exe when I press Ctrl+Alt+X when running, and it is rather absolute (i.e. not as likely to fail as those stupid windows shrtocut file keyboard shortcuts, they seem kinda badly implemented if you ask me)

This script would have to be in an autohotkey script file with a name something like startprogram.ahk and if you want to start this script on startup (so that it is always active, i.e. the shortcut you created can always be used as soon as you start up your computer) you can place it in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

And it will autostart along with every other program you put in there when you boot. Nice and easy. To test the script you simply run it by double clicking on it and it executes like any other program.

You can find a list of valid key-symbols here (like + for shift, # for win logo key, etc) or alternatively here is a list of all valid keys and how to write them into a script (turns out you can write shift as "Shift" and not "+", be sure when you're writing scripts to be careful with upper/lowercase letters, these things matter).

Don't forget that you can put as many shortcuts as you want in one script file, (after the return line just put another shortcut that looks something like the above code sample) so you only need to have one script for your keyboard shortcuts. The only downside to this program is that some online games with punkbuster/anti-cheating systems will detect autohotkey as a potential cheat, so if you do a lot of online gaming (especially shooters) you may want to keep that in mind.

As a workaround to this restriction, you can set the 'Hidden' attribute in the Shortcut properties (in the General tab). In this way, it won't appear on your desktop if the file explorer is configured not to show hidden items.

If you right-click on a file and create a shortcut, and then move that shortcut to the Desktop, the Shortcut key DOES NOT WORK. You have to right-click on the Desktop itself, then select New...Shortcut, and point it to the desired file.

Eclipse shortcut keys are not working suddenly in Windows. Even basic needed shortcut keys like 'ctrl + F' and 'ctrl + c' don't work. I hope that if eclipse is restarted, it would work, but I cannot restart as my applications are running in eclipse. I ensured that this is happening only in eclipse, not in other applications in my computer.

My problem was solved when I restored defaults values of my Keys.

Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys.

Then, click Restore Defaults button at the bottom, and restart Eclipse.

I am using Eclipse Juno.

I am also facing a lot of problems regarding the keyboard shortcuts. The issue is intermittent and all of a sudden most of the key board shortcuts(specifically f3, ctrl+D, ctrl+O ) stop working unless I restart my IDE.

Pressing Control-s is the same as File > Save. You click click the Help menu and select Quick Reference Card to see all the shortcuts. The JMP documentation also helps if you want to customize the menus, toolbars, or shortcuts.

I just tried to assign ctrl+shift+D. Pray tell what the windows gods have decided that is a critical hotkey for? Are we sure the issues with hotkey assignment are limited? If so, it would be very nice to know which exact combos/keys cannot be used. If I try and type ctrl+shift+D into the command I want - it simply makes no entry. That is a horrible way to tell someone that it can't be used, because it's the same observation you'd get if a) something was frozen on the page or software, and b) your wireless keyboard was disconnected or its battery dead. I have decided finding hot keys that DO work is easier than trying to figure out why some DON'T work.

So, it's relatively easy. It's just odd that the shortcuts aren't stored in some file, which you could easily copy from one computer to another, but you have to re-write them into another syntax (and place them into eagle.src) to make them portable. It seems like some design fault.

I hope you're doing well, the most portable and in my opinion best way to setup shortcuts is through the eagle.scr file. EAGLE will store shortcuts in the eaglerc file and that option works, the problem is that the eaglerc file contains a lot of settings and messing with some of them can actually cause EAGLE to become non-functional (that's why you have the don't edit warning). For that reason that file is stored in an inconvenient location to lower the chances of the file being tampered with.

So, instead of messing with "eaglerc" file, I could change the shortcuts in `C:\Users\\Documents\EAGLE\scripts\eagle.scr` ?

Do I have to run the script to write the shortcuts in the "eaglerc" file? Or just sitting there the shortcuts will load?

That said, i do tend to change a lot of other keys to try and get a better access to the commands i use a lot, i hate key combo's of more than 3 keys. Mainly i try to match keys combo's in groups, so that shift or option relate better to the main key combo's.

Takesh, I agree that the default shortcuts make no sense. I completely customized them soon after I started with VectorWorks and have been very happy with it. For one thing, it allows me to use the same key for similar commands in VectorWorks, Sketchup, and Autocad.

I was surprised by what you said about changing snap settings, since you come from Autocad. In Autocad, I change and override osnaps constantly (and I even wrote a lisp routine to do it faster using one small area of the keyboard). But as far as snap settings in VectorWorks, I agree with you. I set them once and haven't changed them in years.

VectorWorks does have a weakness in the keyboard control of the pull-down menu commands. But that can be overcome with a keyboard macro utility and a keyboard that has user-programmable extra function keys.

At first I thought I'll change my keys to the set I'm familiar with, which is like Sketchup or Autocad. Then I thought, maybe I'm missing out something, the default set is actually brilliant and only my noobiness won't allow me to see its deeper meanings...

These were given to me by a VW guru and they speed me up a great deal. These, with tab are the keys that let you change inputs or modes or get you back to the arrow. I like the fact that they have similar functions and are all in the same part of the keyboard. Being in the upper left they are also easy to hit accurately without looking.
