Keyboard Shortcut taken over by audio player?

[deiffert]

Possible bug, or just keyboard shortcut collision or something. - v2.7

When I’m in split screen and an audio player is on the right side to play an mp3, CMD+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW doesn’t select the current line of text like I’d expect. Instead, it starts playing my audio file backwards.

(Anyone who watched ‘Twin Peaks’ will feel right at home with the audio. )

I am seeing the same thing. Here is what I posted in the Technical Support area:

When transcribing audio files, I use CMD + Return to play or pause the audio file in the media player. This function still works fine. However, when I use CMD + Right Arrow to go to the end of a line in the text, the paused audio file begins playing, as if I had hit CMD + Return. When I use CMD + Left Arrow to go to the beginning of a line of text, the paused audio file begins playing backwards.

I am pretty sure this wasn’t happening before today. I just upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan and have Scrivener 2.7.1 installed.

I checked System Preferences > Keyboard Preferences > Shorcuts to see if El Capitan had added a system-wide shortcut, but didn’t see anything new. Am I missing something? Could this be a bug in Scrivener?

Did you recently upgrade to El Capitan?

Yeah, sounds like the same thing.
I did just upgrade to El Cap, but also just upgraded to Scrivener 2.7, so I wasn’t sure which of those two caused it. But from what you said, it’s most likely an El Capitan thing.
Strange.

Here is the error cut-and-pasted from Console.app per KB’s instructions in *** BUG REPORTING: Please read before posting! ***:

10/11/15 9:43:13.745 p.m. Scrivener[9490]: 21:43:13.745 WARNING: 140: This application, or a library it uses, is using the deprecated Carbon Component Manager for hosting Audio Units. Support for this will be removed in a future release. Also, this makes the host incompatible with version 3 audio units. Please transition to the API’s in AudioComponent.h.

That warning is to be expected as we have to use the older player, as the replacement player Apple provided can not be used in 32-bit programs.

The bug is that 10.11 breaks keyboard control with these media players—why they changed code that is meant to be deprecated is beyond me. The player now takes over all views in the window and there is no way around that. We’ve already reported this as a bug, but I wouldn’t expect them to ever fix it since they don’t fix deprecated stuff.
