Lost keyboard shorts with custom workspace

Posted by Mike Mackenzie on July 30, 2009 at 2:47 pm

Hi everyone…

I created a custom workspace for my dual monitor setup but some of the keyboard shortcuts do not work. Specifically, the tilde key to maximize the view of a panel, which is something I often use, is disabled in my custom view. How do I enable it? searched manuals and online, couldn’t solve it.

Thanks!

That seems odd. Does the shortcut just not work when the pointer is on the secondary monitor? Please file a bug using the bug-report/feature-request form.

Just checked, and nope, doesn’t matter which monitor. I’ll post as you requested.

Also, resetting to a default workspace enables the tilde shortcut, but then it gets lost again when I change to my dual workspace.

Hmm that is strange, it’s frustrating when stuff like this happens without apparent reason.

I’m just here to chime in that it IS possible, because i have various dual monitor workspaces, and the shortcuts are maintained. Not that that’s any help to you really, but…

I am having a related issue that I was hoping to figure out. For some reason my custom workspaces disappear after I restart. It’s only been happening for about a week, but it is really annoying. Anyone have any ideas?

I’m having this same issue. I’m chiming in b/c I have the same machine as Mike, a Dual Quad-Core 2.8 GHz Xeon. Two video cards (which REALLY seem to screw with PremierePro – I’m on CS5). I thought I had inadvertently lost the short cut when I went through the entire list and changed as much as I could to final cut pro shortcuts. But from this post, I should be worrying about that… that the tilde key should be “an embedded” shortcut…

anyway, there’s my two cents… maybe pointless but maybe it’ll help someone think of something…
