A single tab+L shortcut to a designated section would restore the old, more efficient workflow. Another option would be customizable shortcuts to each section of your my tasks, like tab+1, tab+2, each assigned to a different section.
Like others, I need to change the keyboard shortcut to open 1Password to something that does not conflict with the Google Docs keyboard shortcut for strikethrough (Command + Shift + X). I have tried changing the the keyboard shortcut in the settings for 1Password, but that had no effect. I am using Chrome on a Mac. Thanks for your help.
Hey @sarahhooverboyd, I can confirm that the shortcut command+shift+x to open in 1Password the browser conflicts with the strikethrough shortcut in Google Docs. I am very sorry for the trouble. I will report your instance of the issue to our developers so that they are aware of how it is impacting your experience. Hopefully they will be able to come up with a good solution in the future.
If the shortcut to open the extension is already set to command+shift+x, please change it to another shortcut. After that, close out of the window and go through steps 1-4 again. Make sure to change the shortcut back to command+shift+x.
Is it possible to create a link to a note on your desktop? What about to a file in a note? I have an excel file I access regularly and right now I open Evernote, navigate to the note from my Evernote shortcuts and open the file in Excel by clicking on the file in my Evernote note.
I'm wondering if there's a way to create a desktop shortcut that will directly open the note (from which I can open the excel file) or even better, if I can create a desktop shortcut that will open the excel file from Evernote directly in Excel?
No, the excel file can not be opened directly by the shortcut
The spreadsheet exists as a note attachment in the Evernote database
- it has to be exported as a OS file to be opened by Excel
I use @gazumped's desktop link for one very often used spreadsheet. The rest I access via the notes. Not that much trouble as I always have EN open on the right monitor of a two monitor set up so they are all a shortcut click away. FWIW.
Thanks for all of the tips. I explored the Google drive option, but found it isn't trivial to create a desktop shortcut that will open an excel file in Excel from Google drive without installing their backup and sync software that is a heavier solution that what I'm looking for. (or using the web-based Google sheets). I like how Evernote seamlessly lets you open an Excel file and save changes to it directly to the note. I haven't come across any issues with file corruption yet.
I am currently unable to use the app install link to create a shortcut on an iphone running ios 14.3.
I have several shortcuts installed previously for my other apps.
A screenshot of the webpage that loads using my app shortcut is included.
Hi, the recommended way to create a shortcut is to to indeed use the hamburger menu. This should open up a page in Safari prompting you to add a shortcut to the home screen. I am not able to repro any issue with this on iOS 14.4. Would you be able to take a video if you are still experiencing the issue on iOS 14.4?
I haven't really looked at the plugins code yet, so I don't know, if the shortcuts you mentioned can be done via a plugin or if they have to be added to the core code. After the refactoring I lost track of the code a bit.
Some of the things I would go to in the code don't exist anymore or had been transformed into a few levels of abstraction. I guess it will take me a while to familiarize myself with the code again.
@tessus would you suggest creating another thread for "Add shortcut to copy Markdown link of a note" - or adding this shortcut is related to the more general question of this thread: How to create [your] own shortcuts?
I would really like to use a shortcut to create a checkbox, as - [ ] is tedious to type (or to move the mouse to the menu). And it would be even more fantastic if another shortcut would mark the checkbox complete (and add a datetime at the end of the line!) - I am using an extension in VS Code that does all these things, and would find it so convenient if it was in Joplin also.
It's more of a work-a-round as there isn't an option in the keyboard shortcut preferences to assign a shortcut key to toggle layer visibility on/off at the moment. If some of your layers have opacities that aren't 100%, then obviously this work-a-round won't help and you'll need to resort back to using the check boxes in those cases.
The devs are so close now. They have a 'Hide layer' shortcut, and separately a 'Show layer' shortcut setting, but why are they not the same shortcut as a toggle? It should be the same shortcut setting - so you press it and it toggles the state between hide and show. That's how it is in PS and its far better that way. Reduces the amount of shortcuts you need to remember, and is easier to toggle quickly.
If the Menu doesn't show a shortcut, then probably one isn't assigned by default. You should then be able to assign your own through the application's Settings (or Preferences), Shortcuts. Specify the Persona at the top of the dialog, then the Menu, then scroll down to set a shortcut.
I am used to working in excel and using keyboard shortcuts to navigate my sheets without having to use a mouse. Is there a keyboard shortcut to delete a row? if not can how do I let the product team know to add this to the development queue?
While there are keyboard shortcuts available for inserting rows and navigating to existing rows in a sheet, there isn't currently a shortcut available for deleting rows. Click here for the full list of keyboard shortcuts that can be used in Smartsheet and feel free to Submit a Product Enhancement Request for having a shortcut to delete rows considered as a possibility for future development.
They already added Keyboard customization to Brave Nightly and they keep expanding the available commands for it. So there is no reason to wait for a shortcut to be implemented, as long as Brave releases the command, it will be accessed through the Commander or as a keyboard shortcut.
Thanks for your replies
My Alt key works. I have a german keyboard, which is normal here. I thought that might be the problem but I doubt it. Why should it be a problem. In other applications it is not a problem.
I am using firefox and manjaro linux with Xface. I did not map alt or < and > keys to anything else.
I am wondering if it is possible to customize the keyboard shortcut for Next to something like alt + enter instead.
It is frustrating because everytime I click it advertises the alt + > shortcut. I love keyboard shortcuts and hate the mouse. It is disrupting my Codecademy experience.
I am currently using Creo Parametric 7.0. I want to switch between open windows using Ctrl + Tab like every single other software does. I searched for a while and found no options in the software or even anyone asking about it. Is there some way I can make this a keyboard shortcut or something? Is this feature just not integrated into Creo at all?
Thanks for the info. I did not know that about Creo. I still think it's a pretty simple feature that would be useful, and I was surprised to see that Creo doesn't seem to have it. The lack of keyboard shortcuts is one of the first things I noticed when switching over from SolidWorks.
There are keyboard shortcuts embedded in the menu, but primarily, I use mapkeys (programs that run a series of commands) with up to 4 letter to trigger the mapkey. I try to make all my mapkeys "left-handed" since I am a right handed mouser.
I see what you're talking about. I agree it's not much different than hovering over the taskbar icon. I was hoping there was some way to just use the keyboard as I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts more than mouse clicks. Just seems smoother to me.
This looks really cool, and would be great as part of a startup script, but like @smcardle do not see any response. No errors, no crash, the print statement prints, but the shortcut does not seem to change.
Is there any chance this will only work when run through Eclipse or similar?
I'm confused due the following issue. I started a desktop session and created a shortcut to "\\Client\C$\Users\USERNAME\Documents" at my desktop. After logging off and in again my shortcut icon image disappeared and the shortcut doesn't work anymore without an error message when clicking it. If I perform a right-click and choose open folder path a message appears "the path couldn't be found". Due a little bit of analysis i figured out in the shortcut properties the value for "start in" is missing. This seems to be common for all explorer shortcuts. BUT If I'm inserting a suggested value, eg. "C:\Windows\System32" manually the link works well permanently.
To restore the keyboard shortcut assignments to their original settings, you can head over to the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts help article. Below you will find a table of the command names which you may want to reset.
I agree that n alone as shortcut for changing the grid is not really well placed because m next to it is much more important in the daily use and a slight slip on the keyboard can mess things up (even if you can fix it right after with shift + n). there are a few shortcuts which can cause conflicts in such a way. maybe a revision of the shortcuts is in order?
