1. Re: Shortcut to move, rotate, scale a pattern inside
Jacob Bugge Jan 9, 2014 3:23 AM (in response to Daté TETEGAN)Daté,
You may try < (just to the right of Shift), or take the time to go through all the keys.
The following is a list of known equivalents (the French for Mac taken from your OP with thanks).
Tilde key: UK: ' (just below the @, to the left of Enter, at least in CS6), Icelandic and German: < (just to the right of Shift), French (only Mac): £, Danish: æ (just to the right of L)
Any new findings will be added to the list so others may benefit.
My suggesting < comes from a (most likely silly) hope that the same key applies to (most) Continental European (and the Icelandic) keyboards.

Monika Gause Jan 9, 2014 3:54 AM (in response to Daté TETEGAN)On Windows you need to switch to US-English language keyboard first. At least that's the case in the German version.

jmlg12 Jul 10, 2014 12:08 AM (in response to Daté TETEGAN)Hi agree that it's not convenient to switch to US keyboard only to be able to use this shortcut.
Why not adding this feature in the list of feature you can edit the shortcut in the "Keyboard Shortcut" menu ?
Thanks

Steve Fairbairn Jul 10, 2014 2:28 AM (in response to Daté TETEGAN)I use an Icelandic keyboard which uses the > key (between Shift and Z), same as Jacob’s.
I suppose you know that you can use the Scale and Rotate tools for this kind of work if you want numerically accurate scaling and rotation of patterns? Just de-check ‘Objects’ in the Scale and Rotate dialogues.

Daté TETEGAN Jul 10, 2014 9:34 AM (in response to Steve Fairbairn)Yes, i know we can do it this way by double clicking the Selection tool, Direct Selection tool, Scale or rotate tool to open the editing window.
My concern is to find the accurate way which is to do it directly by dragging the image with the right shortcut.
But it doesn't exist on windows with the French keyboard.
Sometimes i don't understand really why a such usefull funtionnality is not available for all.
The same for Adobe Kuler which is not available on the french version of Illlustrator.

7. Re: Shortcut to move, rotate, scale a pattern inside
Steve Fairbairn Jul 10, 2014 3:45 PM (in response to Daté TETEGAN)Try using the Rotate tool with various modifier keys. If the key to the right of Shift doesn’t work for you, try others (usually near the ends of the keyboard).
Is there anyone else out there with a French keyboard who knows the trick?

CarlosCanto Jul 10, 2014 11:56 PM (in response to Daté TETEGAN)it may be worth trying external tools, I haven't tried it myself, I just searched for it
