Re: Another strange problem...
PhotoShop. However, don't try it. I've tried it myself and when I select PhotoShop, I get a little dialog that says You cannot add keyboard shortcuts for the application PhotoShop. I have no idea why is this. I get the same message if I try to add a shortcut to ImageReady. I tried adding shortcuts to other applications and I didn't get that message yet.

Re: Another strange problem...
How do you like mouse keys? You'll find it at System Preferences - Universal Access - Mouse - Mouse Keys I know it, it is useful at times at both Windows and Mac machines, but it is essentially a big and ugly workaround. Nothing beats being able to Tab between dialog elements, use Alt shortcuts for elements or menus, etc. Unfortunately, this is where Mac OS seems to lag a little bit, even if some improvements were done in 10.1 or 10.2.

Re: Another strange problem...
Did you also try Full Keyboard Access? It's in Keyboard and Mouse system pref pane. It works well except for the dumb, 2nd citizen class Carbon ports (IOW, it works for Cocoa apps)... I have it on all the time. But maybe I'm missing something crucial? Let me give you an example. In Photoshop there's an option called Image Size... in Image menu. It does not have a keyboard shortcut. On Windows, I can press Alt-I and then I to chose it. It's quick and efficient. On Mac OS, the best I can do with keyboard is pressing Ctrl-F2 (awkward), then right arrow a couple of times, then I, then Enter. Effectively, it's easier to use the mouse. Is there an utility that'd let me do the Windows trick on Mac OS?

Well, still in Keyboard Mouse, in the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' section, you can add your own keyboard shortcuts for all applications or specific applications. So, you could add a keyboard shortcut to that menu item in PhotoShop. However, don't try it. I've tried it myself and when I select PhotoShop, I get a little dialog that says You cannot add keyboard shortcuts for the application PhotoShop. I have no idea why is this.

It's just been taken over by Stairways (the Interarchy people) and there's a new version out. It does grate a bit though, to have to spend money for something that should be part of the system.

Re: Another strange problem...
my trackpad blocks up sometimes on my 12 inch ibook g4 with 10.3.5 installed i either reboot to fix the problem or i plug in a usb wireless mouse that i have.

Replugging the mouse does not seem to change anything, the problem is possibly deeper as both the touchpad and MouseKeys exhibit the same behaviour. I am not sure what causes the problem, but it is obviously very annoying when appears. Does any of you had this before?

Re: Another strange problem...
I have had the same thing happen to my ibook once. Same exact symptoms, and a quick reboot fixes the problem. It is good to know Im not the only one a little freaked out by it!

Re: Another strange problem...
a quick reboot eh, how does one that doesn't have the option to control the cursor with the keyboard enabled do a quick reboot? Is there a key sequence for reboot? I've been lucky so far because i always had the usb mouse with me when it happened, if there is a key sequence i will need to write it down with the dymo and stick it underneath my ibook so i remember when it happens. I'm not gonna help you with that, but what's different is that you say that your USB mouse helped, while in my case nothing seems to work: MouseKeys, built-in trackpad, external mouse, etc. I would try changing the resolution to see if that fixes anything... but I can't do it while the mouse is not working. By the way, for all the bad things you can say about Windows, you can navigate it perfectly using just the keyboard... I've been doing that in Windows 3.0 for weeks without even having a mouse, and still occasionally resort to it. Funnily enough, back in 1984-5 there's reportedly been a big fight in the Windows 1.0 team over the use of keyboard and at least one person resigned seeing that Windows will be far more keyboardy than Mac...
