Make num keys function as arrow keys

my left arrow key is not working so i'm wondering if there's a way to make my number keys function as arrow keys. i'm using an apple keyboard with numeric keypad on os x 10.6.8 (late 2009 imac)
thanks

Laptops map the keyboard differently as they are also
using the F1-F12 keys to control screen brightness,
speakers, etc. To access FCP specific uses, you need
to hold down the FN key in the lower left as a
modifer.
Since this a pain in the butt you may want to do
this:
Open up System Preferences
select Keyboard & Mouse
select the Keyboard item on the bar
click on "Use the F1-F12 keys for custom actions"
close.
This should return your function keys to 'normal'
operation. Now if you want to brighten or dim your
screen, hold down the FN key (lower left of the
keyboard) to modify the F# key.
good luck.

Thanks a lot! This resolved the problem!
I appreciate all the time you people are putting in helping me and others

Make ENTER key function same as CTRL+F11 when in Query mode

I have a basic form I'm creating in Oracle Forms 6i.
When the form is in QUERY mode, I would like to make the enter key on the user's keyboard function the same as CTRL+F11 (execute the search).
Is this possible to do without modifying the key mappings file (.res)? Or would you have to make a change to this file in order to accommodate this capability?
Thanks,
Jeremy

You could write your own Key-Enter trigger at the Form level. Key-?? Triggers will fire in "Enter Query" mode, so you will have to check the Mode in your code. Something like:
/* Sample Key-Enter trigger */
BEGIN
   IF :System.Mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
      Execute_Query;
   ELSE
      ENTER;
   END IF;
END;Personally, I would educate the users to use the Ctrl-F11 keys rather than make a key stroke multi-function. What if they try to use the Enter key for navigation while in Enter-Query mode?
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

How to make Ctrl + N function as down key in finder

I want to make Ctrl + N function as down key and Ctrl + P function as up key in finder application for easy keyboard navigation. How can i do this?

You're misinterpreting the way the Keyboard shortcuts you add in preferences work.
For you to be able to turn the key sequence into a shortcut for some action that action has to exist as a menu item in the application. That is if you want to make say Show Clipboard (one menu item without a shortcut already assigned) you would put the command Show Clipboard into the section Menu Title and ad the key sequence in the Keyboard Shortcut section.
But as there is no menu item for down one line in Finder there is nothing to put into the Menu Title section so no way to map it.
As it turns out for text editing OS X already recognizes ^N as down one line (in fact a lot of the Emacs key bindings are recognized out of the box) Unfortunately these only apply to editing situations. There is no way I know of to map motion commands like you are looking to do here.
There is the possibility of adding a keybindings dictionary to your home library folder, google for something like emacs key bindings mac mavericks
<edit> I dont't think you'll be able to do it this way either but it is worth a look</edit>

How to make modifier keys lockable? (like Caps Lock for Ctrl or Alt)

Playing around with the non-modal text editor ne, I found myself wondering if one could simulate a modal interface (like vim has) by having something like "Ctrl Lock" or "Alt Lock" (analogous to Caps Lock) and thus a "ctrl mode"/"alt mode". I would like to try this, but I am not sure how to make it happen.
My best guess is that this could be accomplished via XKB, but its documentation looks pretty intimidating. Is anyone here proficient in XKB and could point me in the right direction?
Other ideas:
– Is this something that a terminal emulator could do? Is there already one that can do it?
– Or a shell?
– For console applications, would it be possible to have a small wrapper that did nothing but intercept keyboard input and just pass everything through to the wrapped process, except that it would take into account the desired lockable modifier key? (I am thinking of tput here, but from my first search it appears that it doesn't do this sort of thing.)

@Trilby: Thank you for the elaborate input!
@drcouzelis: "sticky keys" normally means that modifiers remain active only until the next keypress, while I want a way to lock them in active state for an arbitrary number of keypresses. But still, "sticky keys" was a worthwile input for the search engine.
The program xkbset, which can be used to set XKB options on the fly, has a function that comes very close to what I desire:
$ xkbset h
Usage: To set or unset various options:
xkbset <options>
where <options> may be all or any of (the '-' switches the feature off,
otherwise it is switched on):
To switch sticky keys on or off, and optionally set or reset:
() two keys pressed at the same time stops sticky keys;
() a modifier pressed twice will be locked:
[-]{sticky|st} [[-]twokey|[-]latchlock]...
I cannot select specific modiers to be affected with xkbset, but that would be fine with me. Sadly, it didn't completely work for me:
– It doesn't affect Alt at all for me.
– The effect seems to go away as soon as I change the window. (Maybe I need to invoke xkbset from .xinitrc for its effects to persist throughout the session? I will try that.)
So I went on and tried to configure XKB manually. I got up to a certain point without studying the documentation in-depth, but now I have landed on an error message that seems to suggest to me that I would have to get to a better understanding about the layout files before I could understand it. Here is what I did:
1. Got my current XKB configuration:
xkbcomp :0 output.xkb
2. Editet output.xkb to include the following at the end of the xkb_compatibility section:
//Hoping this makes the ^-key into a Ctrl-Lock key:
interpret TLDE {
action= LockMods(modifiers=Control);
3. Then I recompiled the configuration back into the running X server:
$ xkbcomp out.xkb :0

Make enter key work as tab in apex

Hi ,
I have one form it contains 15 fields . to navigate from one field to next field i have to use enter key instead of TAB key.
is there any solution.
Thanks
Sagar

Hello Vikram,
Big Fan of you, you've helped me a lot in my query hope you'll do so this time too
need help here :make enter key work as tab in apex
$(document).ready(function() { $('input').keydown( function(e) { var key = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : 0; if(key == 13) { e.preventDefault(); var inputs = $(this).closest('form').find(':input:visible'); inputs.eq( inputs.index(this)+ 1 ).focus(); } }); });
This works fine on tabular forms if there are existing records but as soon as I hit add rows hitting enter does not move the cursor, can you help

Why does my Left Shift +Num Keys produce Euro characters and Right Shift + Num Keys produce American?

I am running Lion (10.7.4) on my 2010 13" MBP. When I press my Left Shift and various Num Keys (1-9), I get Euro characters (⁄ € ‹ › ﬁ ﬂ ‡ ° · ‚). When I use my Right Shift, I get the standard American characters (! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )).
I have already tried restarting my computer, but this has not helped. In my language/keyboard settings, everything is set to USA. I do have multiple inputs on this machine but the flag is always on US. Occasionally, I switch to Japanese keyboards but those are not active and the problem described above appears when the US flag is displayed.

It looks like your right shift is somehow also depressing the option/alt key. I would suspect damage to your keyboard, which may need repair/replacement.

How to make a key out of this data?

Since no one replied to my last post, I'll give it another try. From an RTSP server I get two values, a key called rsaaeskey (342 bytes, without the line breaks):
yxKBocBgTii20n9nbKfYGyGhPqtosXuq8M99yU5/PzTVNmIUsUGlpD27u
cqN8eNFvmaO7cFVXeaMGaCfI5V+YNrd77xGQ+CUE0XFraXUvp4cF4aX1L

K3Z6FK7XVnfehYYJjRw7THMZzSvq7FtLB9QgulqQTJ3awJdwS0ACb1FkAand an initialization vector called aesiv (22 bytes):
zcZmAZtqh7uGcEwPXk0QeAThe data is obviously Base64 encoded. However, after decoding I don't know how to make a key out of it. Trying KeyFactory's generatePublic and generatePrivate methods result in an InvalidKeySpecException with any algorithm I've tried (RSA, DSA, DH).
I think this is a multi-prime RAS secret key (someone said they're 342 bytes long), but how do I generate a Java Key out of it?

The rsaaeskey, decoded to binary, is a binary array of 256 bytes. Using the DUMPASN1 tool we see that the bytes are not in ASN.1 BER or DER encoding.
C> openssl enc -base64 -d -in rsaaeskey.base64 -out test.bin
C> dumpasn1 rsaaeskey.bin
   0 CB   18: [PRIVATE 11]
            :   81 A1 C0 60 4E 28 B6 D2 7F 67 6C A7 D8 1B 21 A1
            :   3E ABIf it were encoded in ASN.1 BER or DER encoding it will start as a "SEQUENCE" or a "SET", not as an unrecognized data.
You need to check the exact specification of the protocol. (Are you using TSP - RFC 3161, or RTSP - RFC 2326?)

MDT and MAK product key

We are using MDT2010 and now MDT2013 for years now. I must make a new deploymentshare for 64 bit Windows 7 but cannot find in my documentation where to put the MAK key in MDT for later activation when Windows 7 is deployed.
I have looked in MDT where i have put the MAK key but cannot find it anywhere, not in custom settings / bootstrap.ini, any task sequence etc.
Searching the Internet the MAk key must be put when importing a operating system into MDt but i have never done that. After deploying Windows 7 to a client i activate the system at once, the MAk product key is somewhere stored, i have done that myself but
do not know where.....
Is there some standard point where i must put the MAK key in MDT, when syprepping and capture task sequence or in a deployment task sequence or in the customsettings.ini / bootstrap.ini within the capture deployment or deploymentshare?
This is neccessairy because i want to capture and deploy a new Windows 7 but now 64 bit in MDT so the key must be put somewhere..
It can be put in the virtual machine that is goiing to be captured. After installing WIndows in the VM put in the product key, but maybe this key is lost when importing and deploying thru MDT...
It can be somewhere in the sysprep and capture task sequence although i cannot find it
In the deployments task sequence cannot find them here also
Int he rules.ini or bootstrap.ini of the captureshare or deploymentshare but here also not found..
freddie

When you sysprep the machine the license will be removed. You can either add it to the unattend file or you can write a script to install the key and force it activate Windows, your choice. The easiest would be to just add the key to the unattend.
I have a script for machines that will be off campus and out of reach of our KMS server. In this example I install the Office MAK and activate it, but as for Windows I just added that key to the unattend. Specialize-->Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup
oShell.Run("cscript " & oENV("ProgramFiles(x86)") & "\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX")
oShell.Run("cscript " & oENV("ProgramFiles(x86)") & "\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs /act"),0,True

Num-Lock Function

I have just purchased a brand new MacBook (basic but with 2 Gig processor and 2 Gig Memory). There is no num-lock function that I can find and the keys have no num-lock symbols on them. I've tried calling tech support 3 times and the guys can't seem to figure this one out. I've tried f6, fn+6, fn+f6 etc.
Does anyone know the answer to this mystery?

How do you make the 'places' function work in iphoto

`i have just imported a lot of old photos from my 2007 macbook onto a new macbook pro with ilife 09. `i am trying to make the places function work but can't get it to work. The 'i' icon does not appear in the bottom right hand corner of the events main photo as it's supposed too. Any suggestions?

Simply open an event; select 1 or more photos and select the i in the lower right corner of a photo thumbnail. You will get the Geocoding window. Start typing the address/place/country in the location area. For detailed addresses you select new place. You can resize the window. Maps from google appears and you select the place it finds. You can even drag the pin to a specific area. Press ok and your done.

Why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.
