Mapping keys to function

I'm at a bit of a quandary.  I have done this several times and something always happens.  After I open Access IBM and Configure, I map my right alt key to function as the windows key.  It works for a while and then suddenly I lose that functionality and have to reset it. 
Does anyone know what is happening?  I am running XP on my Thinkpad T42.

Further to this, just for fun I took an older clear keyboard that I have and hooked it up and the tex-edit scripts work just fine. I guess I'll just tell my friend to keep using his old keyboard for now. Obviously, the custom F-Keys that apple has prewired to the thin aluminum keyboard are interfering. Do you know of a way to have Tex-edit "take over" these F keys when it is the frontmost application?
Thanks,
Larry

  • Mapping key to function not overriding original key

    I have mapped the "Key Pad Minus" to our exit (in-line with PF4 from the vt220 terminals). This works OK except it is also puts a minus sign into the field, so on exit I often get "Close This form?" because the form now has a minus sign in a field.
    I am using 9i (fmrweb.res) with:
    109 : 0 : "Key Pad Minus" : 32 : "Exit"
    Any ideas on how I can supress the minus?
    Tim.

    I never managed to get this to work. My soloution was not to support PF4 (key-pad Minus) in our web-based deployment. We will educate our users to use escape for "key-exit".
    (now using forms 10g)
    Cheers,
    Tim.

    I am unable to understand why AMF Channel or Blaze DS is treating the String as HashMap !!!
    This was working pefectly fine till yesterday !!
    The version of the BlazeDS i am using is : blazeds_turnkey_3-0-0-544
    and the Flex SDK Version is : flex_sdk_3.5.0.12683
    We recently upgraded to Flex 3.5.0 version earlier we were using 3.3 version
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    I chcked my server side java beans ( which are managed by Spring) and they are all returning the data property and none of the Keys in the returned hashmaps are null.
    Not sure why this is happening.

  • Implement Maps keyed by a Persistent Class

    Hi,
    You would probably agree that JDO Maps keyed by a primitive/primitive
    wrapper are not nearly as usefull as the ones mapped by a PC.
    I wonder if it is in your plans to provide this functionality? Kodo 2.4? or
    2.5
    If I am not mistaken somebody (may be me) already entered this enhancement
    request into your bugzilla as a part of overall collection handling
    improvements but I am going to create a new request just in case and put
    some of my votes onto it :-)
    If you want me to come up with use cases to explain why I think this feature
    is very much needed I can certainly do so.
    Anyway if any other folks around here are interested in this feature please
    wote for it http://bugzilla.solarmetric.com:8080/showvotes.cgi?voteon=437

    This is on our project plan, but will not be in 2.4.

  • How to map keys(Key board) in forms6i

    Hi all,
    Would like to check ,is there anyway like with previous version of forms4.5,we can map our keys(keyboard keys vt220 e.g commit=F10,execute_query=F8 and so on).
    We were using forms4.5(character mode) with Unix platform but now we decided to go for web but at the same time we still want to keep same mapping keys..

  • Problem using different Map key types in one class

    I'm running Kodo 2.3.3. It seems I can only have one Map key types for all
    maps in a class. For example, if I have two maps in a class, their keys
    must be of the same type.
    Is there a plan to remove this limitation soon?

  • Mxml tag map to AS function

    How to do that? I can only map to public vars but i want to
    map to i function.
    For example i want to create a custom actionscript component
    with a button in it, and when i create this component in mxml to
    change the label of the button like this
    <comp:myCustomComp myFunction=myFunction("change
    label")/>
    Should i use setters and getters with a public var to change
    the label?

    Yes. Use getter setter then when you have the following the
    setter / getter functions are used:
    setter function executed
    <comp:myCustomComp id="myComp" label="Here is New Label
    Text"/>
    getter function executed
    <mx:Text text={myComp.label}/>

    Hello Damyanology,
    If your enter key is not working but you have to use it, you can bring up the on screen keyboard, and that will allow you to use enter.
    Here is a link to open the on screen keyboard.
    Go into device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should reinstall the driver to correct the problem.
    Here is a link to uninstall in device manager.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Cannot properly edit Map Keys

    In RoboHelp 7 for HTML (but also v6), weI have problems with
    editing map keys for context-sensitive help.
    When we were using RoboHelp 6 for Word, editing map keys was
    easy.
    When we switched to RoboHelp for HTML (first v6 then v7), we
    could never figure out how to do this. We fully understand how map
    keys work, and we are computer-savvy. However, perhaps we are
    experiencing some kind of bug.
    For example, if we generate a new topic, we disabled
    automatic map key generation. Instead, we want to add our own map
    key number to this new topic. We select Topic Properties >
    Advanced > Edit Map Key to get to the map key editor. No matter
    what we try, we cannot add a new map key to the new topic.
    Similarly, changing the number of a map key is not possible.
    Basically, the task buttons at the bottom of the Edit Map Key
    screen are always disabled.
    We are currently editing the map key files directly, but that
    is not a solution of course.
    We read the Help documentation very carefully, but we simply
    cannot use these disabled task buttons, so that we are
    stuck.

    It is really a terrible dialog, but this is what works for
    us:
    1. Make sure you have the <Project Map File> selected
    in the drop-down list.
    2. In the right-hand list, click on the Topic you want to
    assign an ID to.
    3. Under the Map IDs list there is a "Hide used IDs"
    checkbox, and then three buttons. The first button's icon does not
    make ANY sense to me whatsoever, but it means "add map ID."
    4. Click that cryptic-looking button. The Create/Edit Map ID
    dialog opens.
    5. Enter a name for the Topic ID (can be anything, just don't
    use any spaces) and the Map Number you want to assign, and click
    OK. The ID is assigned to the topic you selected earlier.
    To edit the assigned Map ID number or name, double-click on
    an ID in the Map IDs list. I don't know if you can actually change
    the assignment of one of these IDs -- the "Unassign" button always
    appears grayed out for me -- but you can delete a selected Map ID
    by selecting it and clicking the "X" button.
    Hope this helps!

  • Google Maps buttons not functioning

    Google Maps does not function anymore in Safari. None of the buttons work, including the search button (I can type in an address, but nothing happens when I press the mag. glass icon, or return), or any of the smaller icons in the corner including zoom in/out, help, tools etc.
    Works just fine using Firefox, and I did update Flash to the latest version.
    Any help appreciated--thanks in advance.

    From the Safari menu bar, select

  • Delicate One Key Recovery function of S10-3

    The One Key Rescue of my S10-3 was not functioning any more.
    After I have taken several steps in creating Recovery Disc using the option in the One Key Rescue, S10-3 displayed that 3 dvd disc are needed but I had only one in hand, so I clicked the Return in the display to exit the process. As a result the One Key Rescue function was ruined.
    Since Lenovo knows exiting the process will ruin the One Key Rescue function,
    a. why an exit option is provided.
    b. why no warnings are given at the beginning of the process.
    c. this is obviously a bug, why Lenovo still let it exists.
    Fortunately, I know Lenovo Service Centre can revert the S10-3 to its initial state at a chargeable base.
    This is easy to people in cities like Hong Kong, but it will be a disaster to people in cities of some Asian countries where there are no Lenovo Service Centres, people have to spend a lot of time and money in transportation in order to have  their computers rectified.

  • Assigning a key to function as an Option key

    The Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 is Mac & Windows Vista compatible and just what I need, but how do I get the Windows (or any other) key to function as an Option key and especially when booting back and forth using Boot Camp? So far, none of the keys I've pressed brings up the choice of OS upon reboot.

    Hope I'm not duplicating -- lost two replies before posting.
    The Alt key seems to work like an Option key sometimes in some programs, but not for choosing the OS when rebooting via Boot Camp. Everything worked with the iMac keyboard, but I need this ergonomic setup so got a Win keyboard that's supposedly also Mac compatible.
    New to Mac (less than a year), trying to learn the differences. Also, found no way to use the NumLock so the keypad can be used for cursoring around. That's been the most difficult adjustment.
