Adam Wilt Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The Export sheet has two buttons, Cancel and Export. Cancel is already keyboard-enabled (or acts as if it is); hitting ESC closes the sheet. But Export cannot be activated with the Keyboard; one must use the mouse. If Export were the default button, hitting Return or Enter would "press" it. (I'm using AD to build multilayer graphics; I typically have ten or so exports per graphic with different layers turned on and off. I've assigned Command+E to File > Export..., so once I've set the format and directory for my first export, I can do everything quickly through the keyboard, except for "pressing Export" in the Export sheet. Moving the mouse between the Layers palette and the Export slows down the process quite a bit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpedit Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 How did you assign a shortcut? I'm interested in the same Command-E for Export but see nothing in the menus nor in help to indicate how to do this. Thanks, Byrne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like this too...you can speed up the process a bit by using tab to get to the export button instead of using the mouse and then hit spacebar to export. Subsequent exports will only require you to hit cmd+e and then space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpedit Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Sweet! Thank you, Andreas. I've never had recourse to use this since my most used software has this flexibility built in. One issue I can see with this method is conflicts with native app assignations. But Export has, so far, been the only glaring exclusion of a shortcut for my needs.

Dave Harris Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks for reporting this. I've added Escape and Return to numerous dialogs, including Export. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
