  Posted by Mike Helling on December 15, 2010 at 4:34 am

  i have used the “keyedup” script recommended by adobe to change my keyboard shortcuts………it works great – except i cant find the shortcut for “hide adobe after effects” i am so used to using command h to hide my programs – i want to be able to use this for after effects…………..any ideas?

  Does this note from After Effects Help help?
  “Note: On Mac OS, some keyboard commands for interacting with the operating system conflict with keyboard commands for interacting with After Effects. Select Use System Shortcut Keys in the General preferences to override the After Effects keyboard command in some cases in which there’s a conflict with the Mac OS keyboard command.”

  todd – its not a question of system shortcuts vs application shortcuts…………….right now, by default, to hide after effects you use the shortcut “ctl – command – h” i simply want to change that shortcut to “command – h” again, i have some experience with keyed up – but that is one shortcut i cant find……………
  thanks for your help

  Yes, it is.

  [mike helling] “right now, by default, to hide after effects you use the shortcut “ctl – command – h” i simply want to change that shortcut to “command – h” again, i have some experience with keyed up – but that is one shortcut i cant find”

  If you go to After Effects > Preferences > General, then check the Use System Shortkey Keys box like Todd told you to, the Hide shortcut will change from Ctrl-Cmd-H to Cmd-H.
