1. Re: Another possible bug using keyboard to save project?
jstrawn Jun 12, 2012 11:23 AM (in response to davidbeisner2010)First of all, the correct shortcut for Save is Ctrl+S on windows and Command+S on mac. It's pretty ubiquitous across most apps (ans has been for a long time), so it's well worth learning.
Secondly there does seem to be some intermittently buggy remnant of that old Ctrl+F > S accesibility behavior on mac which I will investigate. The correct method on windows Alt+F > arrow down to 'save' > press enter. Which is a lot more clicks than what you remember but it does work. The best thing is to use the shortcuts that you see listed the file (and other) menus, and map any that you need that aren't there by default.

I second that. CTRL+S has been the standard Save shortcut for pretty much any Windows program for at least the past 10 to 15 years. Maybe longer.

davidbeisner2010 Jun 12, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to jstrawn)Yeah; my bad, I got the Ctrl and the Alt backwards in my initial post… For
the record, the Alt+F > S command is present in every single Windows app
I’ve ever used from 3.1 through 7, with the exception of PrPro 6 if
somepanels are active… so to me that doesn’t imply that it’s no
longer
acceptable… and also to clarify, I don’t arrow down to the Save, I simply
press the “S” key and it saves (the underlined letter in any menu when that
menu is accessed via the Alt shortcut should give you that action when
pressed on the keyboard). I agree that simply pressing Ctrl+S is easier;
but for some of us who memorized the AltF > S strokes before CtrlS came
around, it’s a pain to learn new strokes…

JSS1138 Jun 12, 2012 11:33 AM (in response to davidbeisner2010)ALT-F open the File menu. S goes to the Save command. Works fine in CS6 no matter which panel is active.
(This really is the long way 'round, though. Might be worth getting used to CTRL+S)

davidbeisner2010 Jun 12, 2012 11:36 AM (in response to JSS1138)Right, S does go to the save command in any panel. But it doesn’t
activatethe save command… leaves you having to press enter from some
panels (or at
least it does from me.) Are you saying that it actually activates the save
command for you from all panels?
I’ve tried a number of times to switch to Ctrl+S, but muscle memory is a
hard thing to overcome! I think “Save” and I automatically type that with
my fingers… I’ve even caught myself pressing that combo before when
intending to write the word in a document!

I would expect that as normal.

davidbeisner2010 Jun 12, 2012 11:40 AM (in response to JSS1138)Huh. I’ve never had to do that before, in any other program, and not even
in PrPro 5.5 and earlier!

8. Re: Another possible bug using keyboard to save project?
JSS1138 Jun 12, 2012 11:45 AM (in response to davidbeisner2010)Oh.
I've just always done it using CTRL-S.

davidbeisner2010 Jun 12, 2012 11:47 AM (in response to JSS1138)Yeah… really not a big enough bug to spend their time working on,
especially in light of all the other problems going on with it right now…
just curious if anyone else noticed it, too… but apparently I’m the only
one who uses the older keyboard shortcuts for saving, so… J
