Illustrator :: Can Change Swatches With Arrow Keys?
May 16, 2012
I use the Live Paint option and the Live Paint bucket often. It is really convenient to change the swatch I am using by using the left-right arrow keys to change my swatch chosen in the Swatch Palette. But in CS6, if I am doing so, and the next swatch chosen is a percentage tint of another color (for example, I have a swatch Blue, and a swatch Blue 85%, which is the Blue Swatch tinited to 85% in the color palette and then made into a saved swatch), the "select" box around the swatch disappears, and I can no longer change the swatch choice without re-clicking on it.
I can change easily between swatches that are not percentages of the original, with no problem. CS5 and all earlier versions that had this feature had no problem whatsoever.

In Illustrator CS6 I can't adjust how far a line moves when I move it using the arrow keys. I've gone to Preferences>General>Keyboard Increment and changed the amount, but the line moves the same distance no matter what I put in. Neither Snap to Grid nor Snap to Point are turned on.

Illustrator CS4: My arrow keys do not function with the polar grid tool. I cannot increase/decrease the number of rays or circles using my arrow keys. They are just dead in the water.

Okay so I've just realised that my documents are CMYK and have changed the settings to RGB (File > Document color mode > RGB and from the colour fly out menu) although I notice that when I hover my mouse over the colors in the swatches panel that it shows me the CMYK values.

I need to rotate a layer to an exact spot relative to another layer.
Moving it right and left with the arrow keys lets me see when I snaps
into register.
I also want to do that with rotation.

I am proficient in Illustrator, but this has been one of a few enigmas. Every once and a while in a file, I have noticed that after deleting a color that is definitely not in use(ie there are no strokes, fills, stray paths etc) using these colors. I have made sure of it. I will delete the color from the swatches and as a final pass I like to add used colors and sure enough that color will come back. I tried making sure it's not checked global, didn't work, some I don't even think are global colors, and in fact they are generally CMYK. I often notice that Black and C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100 don't like to delete from the swatches among some other colors when you delete unused swatches. I thought perhaps they were in guides or something but it's truly unexplainable, and generally with a fresh file if all colors are deleted it'll still leave black white and gray.
Or ways to troubleshoot better other than creating a debug file and deleting lines of code as recommended in the older forums?

Recently purchased a new computer with 64 bit system 4meg ram. I installed CS2 and everything seems to be working except the arrow keys and the control +/- features. Arrow keys are working in other programs like word and publisher.

I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Windows XP and installed it on my work PC and my home PC.
Everything works fine and dandy on my work PC, however when I try to do some editting on my home PC there are some quirks that I can't figure out.
The main thing is that my Up/Down Arrow Keys do absolutely nothing.
Whether I am trying to edit text and scroll through my fonts or if I'm trying to nudge a part of a picture, the Arrow keys do nothing.

I am using AutoCAD 2002 Mechanical at work and the mouse wheel is set to do zooming in and out. The finger I use on the wheel is beginning to hurt as I zoom a lot so I would like to be able to zoom with the up and down arrow keys on my keyboard instead. Is this possible?
I would also like to know if it is possible to set up panning in all directions with the four arrow keys instead of pushing down the mouse wheel and moving the mouse.

Is there anyway that I can pan up, down, left, right using arrow keys? or zoom in, zoom out using pgup pgdn? I only know ctrl+arrow keys... I think it is more convenient if I use only arrow keys.

I'm currently using AutoCad 2012 while in the process of installing 2013. Over the last few months i've had an increasing problem with a sore finger causing by an over reliance on zooming with the scroll wheel. To combat the problem I've recently purchased a track mouse but i'm finding it difficult to move around the drawing as freely as i'd normal be used to.
Is there any way of setting the arrow keys on the keyboard to zoom and perform a similar function as the scroll wheel on an orthodox mouse?

Is there a way to scroll using arrow keys (or any other keys) because it drives me crazy when Im zoomed in to a picture to edit some small detail and i go to use the arow keys to scroll to another spot and I end up moving my mouse across the screen. It is also tiresome that i have to keep going over to the scroll bar to get to see a different part of my image.

I'm on a Mac Pro, quad core, 9 GB memory. I have been using CS5 for all my photo work and use Bridge and ACR to do all of my editing. I have set up two monitors with content on the right screen as thumbnails and preview (and other tabs) on the left screen. To do my edits I use the right/left arrow keys to scroll through the images (and then make my picks/ratings) as I go.
I just installed CS6 Demo and am trying to do the same thing...everything else works normally but the right/left arrow keys (moving from image to image) now takes 4 to 5 seconds to bring up the image (CS5 was instant).All paramaters/settings/preferences are the same. I know CS6 needs a more powerful video card (mine is only 256 mb...I will be upgrading soon)...but here's the weird thing which leads me to believe that's not the problem...the up and down arrow keys work normally, i.e. they go from image to image instantly. I edit folders of images that range from 200 to 300, up to 1500 images from a shoot on a daily basis so I need this to work for me!
Also, I'm having problems trying to run a batch in CS6, I set up an action identical to what I had running in CS5 (embedding a text logo on an image) and while it goes through the process of doing the action, at the end it pops up an error message and lists all the images saying it could not process the request. Weird or what?

Is there any way to use arrow keys instead of mouse clicks to move the trim markers (or frame forward/back)? I have arthritis and am not able to do the hundreds of mouse clicks that seem to be required.

why does a layer move more slowly when using the arrow keys on the keyboard if the layer is a 'floating selection'? my Gimp moves layers MUCH more quickly when using the arrow keys if I go to 'to new layer' first! is this a problem or to be expected?

In Lightroom 5.3, in the Slideshow Module and in the Impromptu Slideshow, the left and right arrow keys should move the slideshow backwards or forwards respectively when pressed. However, in my copy of Lightroom 5.3, pressing these arrow keys while the slideshow is running or paused has no effect whatsoever. (The arrow keys work as they should)?

When using the standard type tool, periodically, the keyboard arrow keys will not work. You can manually change your selection point, but not by using the left of right arrow.

I searched this issue and found many forums discussing the topic, but no solution. When using PS CS6, the arrow keys randomly stop working when navigating around in text. This is extremely frustrating. Per other discussions, and my experience, there doesn't seem to be a constant trigger. Saving the PS file when it happens SEEMS to fix it - at least temporarily. It's been happening off and on since I upgraded.
Adobe reps (they're say "employee") monitoring the photoshop.com forums suggested the fix is to close all other apps. No one works that way. Chrome (or other browsers) were speculated to be the cause. but I just had this happen without any browser open.

CS6 upgrade form CS5 Premium
Lion 10.7.4 / 16G / i7 Intel
Safari / Chrome
MS Office

Problem file.cdr
Attached is an x6 file with 2 text blocks. The top block has the following instructions:
Using your text tool, select the text below.Try to move around in it using your arrow keys.Also, left justify the text. Then right justify the text.(Watch the icon when you do it)
The second text block is the problem. This second block of text is originally from an x3 file, then x5, now x6. Never had a problem with it before but today it didn't work, so I copy and pasted this text block to a new file, same problem. I don't have this problem in any other file.
EDIT: to be clear, I mean 'move around the cursor in the text' not move the text around the page.
Current System: i3 3.07ghz, 3gb ram, Windows 7 32 bit with all updates and X6

how to move the window around with the arrow keys and I just can't find it. A little box popped up in the upper left hand corner that allowed you to move the drawing window around to find a hidden dialog box.
In 2013 Civil 3d I am having the issue that when I select the Add/ Delete scales the cursor changes to an arrow and the program waits. If i hit the exscape key it goes back to normal. My best guess is the dialog box is popping up behind the drafting window.

I'm running a legit version of Photoshop CS2 on Windows XP. I've had a number of basic functions not work ever since I first installed, such as the Ctrl +/- not working, the [ and ] brush size adjustment funtion not working, the nudge facility of the arrow keys in Move Tool mode not working, and in Text Tool mode, the arrow keys do not move the cursor, but instead create spurious charachters like &'%# etc.

I have just noticed that while in Isometric view I can Pan an item in the window by pressing the arrow keys on a keyboard. One thing however is that to pan to the right side of the screen I have to press left arrow key. It is sort of pressing the "wrong" key to get the model slide to the "right" direction.

Im in the process of converting a logo to spot colors. When I open the swatches panel and choose any one of the pantone books, the panel opens to what you see below. This same thing happens with all color books except for the basic illustrator books.
