\nAdobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4\u00a0troubleshooting<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Due to limitations on older Adobe products on Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4 you can assign keyboard shortcuts using Photoshop Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts… dialog<\/strong>. In the dialog locate File -> Scripts menu<\/strong> and assign keyboard shortcuts to “(MP)…” scripts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Adobe Illustrator troubleshooting<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Adobe Illustrator allows only Shift<\/strong>, Cmd\/Control<\/strong>\u00a0and F1-F15<\/strong> keys assigned to shortcuts. This is Adobe’s limitation. It means you can only use key combinations like “\u2318+F1<\/strong>” or “Win+F2<\/strong>” or “Shift+Control+F3<\/strong>” or “Shift+F5<\/strong>” etc. F1-F15 keys are required in any keyboard shortcut.<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you receive the following message “Some event has not been registered for action<\/strong>“. It means you face a rare bug of Adobe Illustrator CC2015 or below. This is not a common bug and we’re still investigating why it happens for some users. It’s easy to fix on your side. Please update to Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 or above!<\/strong> The update is available for free<\/strong> from your Adobe Creative Cloud.<\/p>\n
The message “The object “MagicPicker…” is not currently available”\u00a0<\/strong>means you’re trying to use keyboard shortcuts on Illustrator without an active document open. Please open or create a new document<\/strong> in order to work with the keyboard shortcuts. This message is\u00a0a bug of Adobe Illustrator.<\/p>\n
I see the message “Please run Illustrator as Administrator…”<\/strong> or “Please restart Illustrator…”<\/strong> in the MagicPicker Settings. On some computers MagicPicker fixes the problem with\u00a0problematic installation. You need to right-click on Adobe Illustrator and choose “Run as Administrator”<\/strong>. Then open MagicPicker and click Settings. If needed you need to restart<\/strong> Illustrator again. If shortcuts still don’t work please upgrade to Adobe Illustrator CC2017 or higher.<\/p>\n
Adobe Illustrator CS6, CS5, CS4, CS3<\/strong><\/h6>\n
The message “Some event has not been registered for action<\/strong>” on Adobe Illustrator CS6\u00a0and below means you face a rare bug of Adobe Illustrator. This is not a common bug and we’re still investigating why it happens for some users. \u00a0Please use the manual way of assigning shortcuts: you will need to go to Adobe Illustrator -> Scripts -> MagicPicker and assign keyboard shortcuts to those scripts using AutoHotKey (Windows) or Automator (Mac). Adobe fixed all bugs related to keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Illustrator CC2017 and above.<\/p>\n
