  • Double space for period. How about comma, too?

    It's already kosher with the interface guidelines to
    double space at the end of a sentence to get a
    period, so how do I get people on the bandwagon
    to make the spacebar a dual- or tri-function spacebar:
    double tap for a comma, period, or question mark:
    |   ,   |   .   |   ?   | <-----spacebar with
    -----------------------           punct zones
    Double-tap at the left edge for comma space, double-tap
    near the middle for period space, and at the right edge
    for question mark space. Why have to go to a separate
    screen to type a comman and then come back to the text
    keyboard? That's inifficient.
    Comma, period, and question mark. That hits most of the major
    marks used. Yeah, there's the exclamation point, but the
    real estate on the spacebar reliably handles only three
    marks. Four may be hard to employ, but I may be wrong.
    I suggested this to Apple two years ago, and nothing's
    been added to the OS.

    Firstly, when I said InDesign inflates the space I didn't mean it whacked in a great chunk of space. It just gives a little bit more air relative to the fit of the text around it. You may not always see any noticeable difference. But when I read a book I don't want to see obvious white spaces at the start of every sentence. As long as the full point and following capital letter register on my brain fast enough that I am reading a new sentence, that's good enough for me. I think it makes reading more fluid. If you want to see extra space at the start of a sentence, then it's probably best to carry on with your double spacebar - unless you want to try something more exotic like a fixed width space.
    I didn't mean you to literally type <full point><space><any character> into the find. I was just trying to tell you what to input. Type the full point, hit the spacebar, and then use the options list to the right of the find field (shown as a @), select "Wildcards", then select "any character". What you should see in your find field is . ^?
    You could then enter .  ^?      - that's two spaces. See why I spelled it out as <space>? -  into the change to field.

  • Why is my iPhone 5(with iOS 8) soo slow when I double-tap for multi-task?

    I have an iPhone 5 16GB, I bought it 2 years ago, and it worked perfectly. I used it with iOS 6 (the best),7 and now 8. Since the moment I upgraded to 8 (Nowadays I'm using it with iOS 8.1.1) the device starts to open the multi-task slowly, it takes about 3 seconds. I don't know what to do.
    Thanks for your attention.

    too times a day.

  • Double space for period

    A friend has a new iPhone and it will NOT put a period after a word when I type 2 spaces the way I can on my own iPhone - both the current 4G version and my previous 3G (not 3GS). Hers is a 4G. For the life of me I can't find any setting which might have been turned off to preclude the automatic period when typing two periods. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    Hi Helen: Try this. Settings > General > Keyboard > "." Shortcut set to On.
    Stedman
    Thank you for your courteous response Stedman. To EBSkater - I DID try Google first, as well as read the archives of this forum but if one doesn't know exactly what phrase to search for, one doesn't come up with the correct answer.
    Thanks to both of you for the correct solution. I searched through the General settings on the phone but zoned out on "Keyboard". Thanks for getting me back on track.

  • Double Tapping for Widescreen video taking is no nonger required

    For quite some time the only way to take widescreen video on an iphone was to turn it sideways of course then to dbl tap the screen to get 16x9 recording.
    Now that is not the case at all and I have been wasting my time with my new phone dbl tapping away.  It is the only camera I have ever used that by default does not show you in the viewfinder what you are actually recording.  That is the only use to dbl tap is to see the actual preview. The ending result is the same.
    Anyone have any ideas why the default view for widescreen video taking is not 16x9.  I do get one use and that is for Facetime but that usually is using the back lense.
    My post is to let all those dbl tappers out there know that it is not required anymore with the 4s.  I simply did not know this until recently.

    have tried to import from DVD since the video I ripped from the disc through Handbrake
    Handbrake is absolutely the wrong tool to use for converting DVD footage to use for editing. It is designed to convert DVD-Video for viewing on other devices - NOT for editing.
    Use MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD's VOB files to QuickTime DV/DVCPro, then import the resulting file into your FCP project.

  • Auto single finger double tap

    Hi, i am a disabled useR, I have apps that want me to single finger double tap, i cannot do this, is there a way i can  use assistive touch I or something else to double tap for me?

    Yes you can. Go to Settings/General/Accessibility and tap on AssistiveTouch. Turn it on (if it's not already on).
    On that same screen, tap on "Create New Gesture". On the screen that shows up, record your new gesture (double-tap anywhere on the grey screen). Next tap the Stop button, then tap on the Save button. Give your gesture a name (like DT for double-tap). Tap on the Save button after naming your gesture. If you somehow mess up with recording the gesture or don't like the name or simply want to clear it, you can delete it by swiping it to the left on the AssitiveTouch setup screen where Custom Gestures is displayed. From then on, the gesture will be available in the AssistiveTouch menu under Favorites. You drag the Favorite gesture to the button you want to double-tab and the recorded action will be performed on the desired button.

  • I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks

    So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
    Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
    Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
    Can someone help me please
    Thanks

    AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • IOS 8 double tap allows other device with same Apple login to see who other is messaging

    I have two iPhones with the same AppleID account.  The iMessaging for each device is set to only send or receive message and FaceTime from the phone number for each device to keep them separate.  If device A is in a text message and the home button on device B is double tapped a notification will be visible to show device A is in a text message.  Device B can then tap this notification and the person being text in Device A becomes available and a new message to that person is then opened.  Not acceptable.  I have tried to unlink the two devices in any way I now how.  No luck.  The screenshot below is what Device B sees if Device A is composing a message.

    That's just the way it works, since you're using the same Apple ID on both. If you have a problem with that, go to http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Double billing for service period july6th-

    Does anyone else have this issue?...I am being DOUBLE BILLED for service period july6th- august 5th. I already paid my bill online well before the due date, and did get a confirmation number for the payment made. The payment was deducted from my bank. However, today, I logged in to my account to see that I have a huge outstanding balance for the service period july 6th- august5th. The amount of the bill is even different than the bill that I paid for that service period.

    Yes I saw that on my account also. I did notice that the pmt due was past the due date (actually due the same time period as the last bill that was pd). How can that be when it shows my bill was pd in full at that time?  Also in reviewing this so called "bill" I noticed that they raised the rate again even after I changed my services to a newer oneand less expensive one. Going to call them in the morning as I should be billed once a month around the same time each month not twice for something I have already pd.  Also for the past several months internet, tv, phone and actual apps for this company have been very crappy too.  Moving so I'm sure this will not be my service provider after my move. Its getting worse not better.

  • Nightly for android reflow problems: enabling reflow on zoom, disabling double tap zoom?

    In the current Nightly for Android build:
    1) Page loads, but the font size is tiny
    2) Double tapping always zooms in to the same zoom level
    3) Zooming out from maximum zoom reflows back to minimum zoom reflow
    4) No way to reflow for anything between maximum and minimum size
    So, is there a way to...
    a) Re-enable reflow on zoom, always reflowing the page to the appropriate zoom level
    b) Disable double-tap zooming, also allowing text reflow for any zoom level?

    I have this exact same problem with the Nightly Android build, but I cannot for the life of me find the Accessibility settings. Could you please tell me how to get to the Accessibility settings?

  • Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

    Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • Flex 2 14 - Two finger tap for Right-Click not working (Two finger double tap works)

    I bought my Flex 2 14 a couple of weeks back.
    I want to enable Two-finger tap (not click) for right click.. Unfortunately it does not work.
    Weirdly, Two-finger DOUBLE tap works for right click.. 
    How do I get a two-finger tap? 
    I tried the regitry hacks from here (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-Flex-Laptops-and/Yoga-2-Pro-Two-finger-tap-does-not-work/td-p/1406... but no luck yet. 
    Any help please. 

    I have found a solution but I am still annoyed I had to do my own tech work to get a common touch figure enabled. (By the way there's many threads out there on Synpatics drivers and touchpads not working right for many people on different machines.)
    Anyway, indeed the fastest fix is to modify a registry entry for Synaptics. Just open  the regisitry edit software on the Yoga and then go through the folders: HKEY LOCAL / Software / Synaptics / SynTP / Win8
    In "2FingerTapAction" all you need is to change the value from "0" to "2" - and presto two-finger tap is now a right click!
    Much easier than going through a driver install / uninstall routine or any other of the suggestions I've found out there.
    I wish Lenovo had this set up as a default. It's really a great gesture and it's quiet and fast.
