Yup – this one again! I’m on OSX 10.5.5 & have got move focus to the window drawer disabled in system prefs.
The Cmd + Alt + tilde that worked in cs3 to load a luminance selection doesn’t seem to be working in cs4. I’ve tried adding in shift but still no luck.
Ann, I don’t have CS4 yet. What happened to cmd-opt-` (tilde). Is it now used for something else? And the purpose of the change best you can tell? (Not that I’m complaining, just curious.)
Jeez, Neil, Ann and I know what we’re talking about… 🙂
It’s command-option-~ (tilde). There’s nothing grave about that. Kind of lighthearted actually. As for accents, this is an all-text forum, my friend. No inflections or speech sounds in evidence. 🙂
To get a tilde you need to press the shift key, which is not involved here. So the desired key combination is Command Option `, spoken Command Option grave accent.
No, you copy/pasted Doug’s postings because you like, trust and admire Doug’s postings, isn’t that right Ann?
And Ramón, I don’t know why we have to focus in such a grim and dire way on that happy little, left leaning accent. It’s more liberal than grave, don’t you think? 🙂
If you have a non-English keyboard it is something entirely different to get a tilde… Do not press what Ramón suggests as that acivates some universal access zoom feature which could make anybody sea-sick…
Also, one of the many optional plugins for CS4 is one to ‘use old shortcuts’. Which allows almost all keyboard shortcuts to revert to what they were for CS3.
"Can you confirm whether or not the old Tilde shortcut will work in CS4 if people install the ‘use old shortcuts’ plug-in?"
Ann, yes, it does on a Mac and on the forums one of the Adobe people promised it would be available for Windows as well.
I also said "almost all" because there is one other shortcut that someone confirmed was not reconfigured by the plug-in.
I just finished playing around with this particular shortcut and I’m curious if it works correctly in the release version. I’m still using the last beta version and when I hit cmd+opt+2 or cmd+opt+4 I get the same exact selection which seems to be the green channel in RGB mode.
I wasn’t suggesting pressing anything, I was simply clarifying the wrong terminology in some preceding posts.
If anything, I’m a diehard keyboard shortcut hater. If anything can be done via menus or mouse clicks, I much prefer not to clutter my brain with memorizing a gazillion shortcuts that only last for a version or two.
