#APPLE MACBOOK PRO KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS PDF PLUS#

To get the plus sign, I need to press the function key and that multipurpose key, the bracket is achieved by pressing the option key, and that multipurpose key. In my specific case, the plus sign is to the left of the return (or enter) key, along with a bracket and the asterisk. So even if my keyboard was a US keyboard, pressing command and shift plus the equal key to get the plus sign to substitute for a simpler command plus, wouldn't achieve the function desired, since shift is also one of the modifiers commonly mapped for other commands. Several commands are mapped with two or more modifiers.

Most image or video editing software employ complex shortucts (three or more keys) due to the abundance of commands and tools they require to operate. I guess a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll attach a photo of my keyboard. To both Tom and Melophage, I am using a Macbook pro bought in Mexico so it's a latin (?) keyboard, or a spanish one, since it has the letter Г‘.

to install an app like KeyRemap4MacBook, so that keys can be remapped in the вЂњSpanish вЂ“ ISOвЂќ input source when running programs like Final Cut Pro or Photoshop.

to use a US English input source when running these programs, and remembering which Spanish keycaps correspond to the US English input source character locations.

to avoid using shortcuts such as вЊ[ when the necessary characters are unavailable in your preferred input source without using an Option key.

Unless the software makers provide a facility in their programsвЂ™ Preferences to change their shortcuts if needed, your possible courses of action are either:

Your initial point was correct - the problem is that the (mainly US) software makers are presuming that all of the characters in their programsвЂ™ shortcuts are available either unmodified or using only a Shift key, as IвЂ™d mentioned in my second reply, and for some characters, this isnвЂ™t the case in most input sources. IвЂ™d used the plus sign as an example in my first reply because youвЂ™d used the plus sign as an example in your initial post. I hope someone can assist me with this issue, and IВґm sorry about the syntax and grammar, english is not my native language. It amazes me why don't the programs such as Final Cut, to name an Apple proprietary, just come with a preset for long and short keyboards at this point. Now, I guess one could simply edit every command individually, but it seems to me there's gotta be a simpler, easier way to fix this, since old long keyboards have been almost fazed out.

So, for example, if in the tutorial they explain how to reduce the size of a brush with a shortcut pressing command and the plus sign, that shortcut can't be used in a macbook pro, because to get the plus sign you also need a modifier, which completely alters the function of the sortcut. But most modern mac keyboards, on laptops such as macbook pro's, as well as desktop computers now, use the short keyboard. IВґm taking some tutorials (from and Ripple training, to name a few) and in all of them, even those about very recent software, they keep aluding to ye olde long keyboards of yesteryear, when you had tildes and the plus and minus signs were on it's own keys. I apologize if this has been addressed before. Perhaps IВґm just terrible at searching relevant posts here. IВґve searched for an answer to this issue because it seems so obvious, but I canВґt seem to find anything useful.
