Why is everyone in this forum responding to me as picklefish? RE: Shortcuts in Quark anitaoskar (TechnicalUser)(OP)20 Aug 03 15:04When I'm in Quark and press for exsample F7 for guides, a warning window comes up saying that Function Keys can be set up in a Keyboard Control Panel which is a set-up for shortcut function keys in Finder... that is not what I need.

RE: Shortcuts in Quark Balwant (TechnicalUser)22 Aug 03 07:37this is because your Quark Function Keys are clashing withe the already assigned function keys for windows RE: Shortcuts in Quark jimoblak (Instructor)22 Aug 03 08:18Did you go to the Keyboard Control Panel and disable the OS function keys? That may allow Quark to do its thing. - - picklefish - -

Why is everyone in this forum responding to me as picklefish? RE: Shortcuts in Quark duncdude (Programmer)22 Aug 03 14:56jimoblak is right - it WILL sort your problem - go to the Apple at the top left of the screen, then select the Control Panels, then the Keyboard - should be fairly obvious after that...

Quark is 'secondary' to the operating system in the case of the function keys

I've recently installed the latest Indesign on a new Catalina iMac and transfered my keyboard shortcuts from an old Mac. I've not tested them all yet, but those tested all appear to work okay apart from the increase leading one which simply refuses to work.

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please check if you have an application by the name Webroot? If yes, please turn it off and then check again. If you don't have this application, please close all the other applications and reboot the Mac and then launch InDesign and check if it works or not. If it still doesn't work you can try resetting the preferences for InDesign and then set the shortcuts and check again. Please follow the steps below to reset InDesign preferences:

Disclaimer: Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and InDesign will launch with default settings. This way all your old settings will be saved in .old folders and InDesign will recreate new folders with default settings.

Yes Barb, they're custom. In fact I think they were brought across a long time ago from QuarkXPress and have been used through many versions of Indesign. The problem is that there are quite a few text context shortcuts all in that area of the keyboard with similar key combinations that I've been using for years and that have become second-nature. I 'could' change and get used to a new way of working, but in all honesty, after all these years of them working fine, I question why I would need to.

I fully recognize the importance of not disrupting the workflow you have had in place for years but since this one keyboard shortcut is no longer working, your workflow is already disrupted. I recommend just resetting those two commands to the defaults (or to something else that works for you), leaving all the rest the way you like them, and then put post-it on your monitor to remind you that these two have changed. If you are like me, buy the time the glue dries up and the post-it falls off, you will have successfully made the transition.

I think you're right that I'm going to have to assign different shortcuts, it's just annoying that I have to. What I don't know yet - is it just that one that isn't working or are there other keys that for no explicable reason refuse to be assigned shortcuts?

I don't know the answer to that question, nor do I know why this one shortcut isn't working. This is a user-to-user forum, where users try to help other users but don't normally have access to the behind-the-scene answers, and of course we can't fix anything. All we can do is offer our best advice on how to use the application as it is.

QuarkXPress 10 is the first version of QuarkXPress to run as a native Cocoa app. Cocoa is the current and preeminent application environment for Mac OS X. Being a Cocoa app brings a number of benefits to QuarkXPress 10, including the ability to leverage the latest OS X features, maximize performance, and rapidly support new OS X releases. In migrating QuarkXPress to Cocoa, the development team:

Quark has engineered a new, state-of-the-art graphics engine from the ground up that will be leveraged across a range of its products, starting with QuarkXPress 10. The new Xenon Graphics Engine renders rich PDFs, Photoshop and TIFF images, and uses its Adaptive Resolution feature to deliver designers the most appropriate onscreen resolution with maximum performance. The difference between viewing pixel and vector files in QuarkXPress 10 versus QuarkXPress 9 is stunning. The Xenon Graphics Engine enables:

Next Generation Palettes: Dock palettes to screen edges, turn on hiding, drag and drop palettes, snap to windows, and more. New shortcut keys enable even faster access and the enhanced Palette Sets feature makes remembering favorite configurations a breeze.Full Screen Experience: Expand the design environment to fill the entire screen with one click. When working across more than one screen, palettes can use one screen and the layout another. Set docked palette groups and auto hide for maximum real estate.Page Navigator: Easily scan through the page thumbnails and go directly to a chosen page faster with new navigation elements and command keys.Measurements Palette: The measurements palette is now the single most important destination in QuarkXPress. It now completely replaces the functionality of the Modify Dialog including the previous shortcut keys, enabling continued access to a layout with the option to modify more than 100 layout settings while still interacting with the page.

Now every edition of QuarkXPress 10 supports East Asian typography, not just editions sold in East Asia. This includes features such as vertical story text, phonetic text reading (rubi) font sets, character grids, and more.

QuarkXPress 10 will ship in mid-to-late August. From now until the official ship date, Quark is offering all QuarkXPress 9 users a 20 percent discount on pre-orders of QuarkXPress 10. Visit the Quark Store to pre-order QuarkXPress 10 for the discounted price.

Quark has let loose QuarkXPress 10, a massive overhaul of its cross-media publishing package for both Mac and Windows. QuarkXPress has been revamped from top to bottom, starting with an under-the-hood conversion from the Carbon to the Cocoa programming frameworks and ending with a new cutting-edge graphics engine and a refreshed user interface. More than 50 feature enhancements promise to streamline the design process and improve the user experience.

Several years in the making, this new version has updated a half million lines of code, added 350,000 new lines of code, added more than 500 new dialog boxes and palettes, and added 1300 new icons designed for Retina display resolution.

QuarkXPress is now ready for action on all levels of media creation for the foreseeable future. It supports Lion and Mountain Lion features like Recent Items, Dictation, and File List in Dock. It is fully compliant with current Mac OS APIs and is Mavericks-ready.

Thus, with the Xenon Graphics Engine, saving does not have to go to disk; text remains text; vectors remain vectors; and images stay as they are without being baked into RGB. In the past, for example, image previews would be cached somewhere on the hard disk, and the time to create image previews would vary depending on the type and size of the image, and the computer used. Quark 10 no longer uses image previews. The graphics engine just draws the image directly on screen using the latest processor technologies.

QuarkXPress 10 has been optimized to take full advantage of high-resolution Retina and HiDPI displays. Adaptive Resolution means you always get the best resolution on screen, with precise positioning of imported graphics.

From the new full-screen view to auto-hiding dockable palettes, QuarkXPress 10 has been redesigned inside and out to improve the user experience. All told, there are fewer dialog boxes, less palette clutter, palette shortcut keys, palette drag-and-drop, and an enhanced page navigator. You can apply style sheets after creation, set default tool preferences from existing objects, reorder layout tabs, view Unicode values in the Glyphs Palette, and more. An enhanced Palette Sets feature lets you easily remember favorite configurations.

The measurements palette completely replaces the functionality of the Modify dialog box, while still including the previous shortcut keys, and enabling continued access to a layout with the option to modify more than 100 layout settings as you interact with the page.

New thumbnail page previews in the print dialog box ensure that your output settings are correct before you print. The new PDF Pass-Through Transparency feature lets you avoid flattening while creating smaller, device-independent PDFs. QuarkXPress objects can now interact with placed PDFs and maintain transparency.
