Preserved Topic: shortcuts (Page 1 of 1)

Is there a way to define shortcuts and assigning them to f-buttons?
thanks

The only thing I can think of is Actions. Just record an action real quick and assign the key to it. For example, let's say you want to assign Image > Adjust > Equalize to F5. Hit Record, do the menu thing for Equalize, stop recording, then Action Options in the Action palette to assign it to F5.

BTW, did you get your _copy.jpg filename thing taken care of? The only thing I can think of is to get a rename utility, like Power Ren 2000 or something. Unless of course you already got it figured out.

Yah, used to be on older versions of Mac you could go into ResEdit and adjust the quick-keys on the different functions, I used to use it all the time to change things to my preferences. After v.4 you couldn't do this, so I set different F... keys as actions to do things that used to have quick-keys, like Adjust/Brightness Contrast, which used to be control B, and now ain't nothing! FYI, you don't need to actually record the action like that, you can select something like "Insert Menu Item", and it will make it appear. Fill in only part and away you go. (FWIW, my F1=Gaussian Blur, and my F2=Brightness/Contrast) YMMV. HARGDN,YH? (GLTA!)

Your pal, -doc-

ok, i will try actions i hope i can do because i never used it before.
BTW, How did you remember that ?, I asked that question about a month ago.But i still couldn't solve the problem.
Thank you all for your help

I tried and learnt to use actions. I can't believe it !! That's incredible, it will help me a lot. I must be very stupid not to learn it till now.
Thank you very much.
