Unknown macro running on CTRL+ALT+D

Aug 2, 2012 5:43 PM

Tags: #shortcut #macro #feather #ctrl_alt_d

I have an unknown macro running when I press CTRL+ALT+D on PS.7 (to try to feather my selection). That keyboard shortcut used to work perfectly before. I have no idea what this macro is and if it is running off Vista or PS. The macro triggers a series of tool in PS. At the end, the Notes tool is selected.

How to I troubleshoot something like that?

Thanks for any advice.

    Check your actions palette in ps 7 for an action with that shortcut assigned to it.

     

    Added: even though that's unlikely in photoshop 7, clearing the actions palette and then restarting ps7 would eliminate that possibilty.

    On second thought in ps 7 i don't think actions can have that shortcut and i'm not sure you can asign that shortcut with a script if you have scripting support installed for ps 7 unless someone asigned a shortcut to one of the sample VB

    scripts that comes with scripting support.

     

    Do you have the optional scripting plugin for photoshop 7 installed?

     

    Do you have a mouse driver or system utility that can assign shortcuts to particular programs (usually using a macro that one edits)?

     

     

    Just to be clear we are talking about photoshop 7?

    Yes, Photoshop 7. But you nailed it. A while ago, I installed AutoHotKey for windows (keyboard shortcut utility). I have only one hot key combination I use with it (the name of my company), using CTRL+ALT+S but when I checked the script, CTRL+ALT+D was also registered to write the same thing (no idea why, I must have done a wrong action when I initialized the program). So, I erased that line...  solved... Thanks!
