Alt+charkey combination in TextInput flex 4.6

Hello Everyone,
I am working on one enterprise app, which is in Adobe AIR. In that, I need to open one popup on one shortcut key, which is the combination of Alt+AnyCharKey.
So when I press that key with Alt, for different char keys, different numbers or characters is typed in TextInput.
Suppose If I press Alt+A, it prints 1 in TextInput. So problem is, when I capture the shortcut key and opens a popup and by setting focus on TextInput of that popup, that number is typed in TextInput.
So how can I disable that Alt+CharKey combination in TextInput ???

Well, I had the opportunity to test a iPad 2 and using the TextInput with skin spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin, the events of flex works but does not open the keypad in iOS and with skin (stagetext new skin), keypad open in iOS (and with native access to spell check, etc ...) but do not run flex events. Since we do not need both situations simultaneously works (which fortunately it's my case for now).

Using the Alt Key combination

Hi,
I am using the alt-key combination, Alt-9734, to produce this star ☆ in a marquee I created in DW 5.5. Works fine in IE but not Safari or Chrome. In these two browsers the star is showing as,
â˜† â˜† â˜† , any ideas. Thanks,
Frank

You could use the following html entity code in your source view where you want the star, remove the spaces...
& # 9734 ;
or
& star ;
Here's a reference page for all of the other speical characters..

Re: Using Alt-Key combinations

Unfortunately this happens not only with Alt-Key combinations. It also
happens with the ordinary F10 key: Windows activates the menu and then
Forte gets the FKey event. The problem is that now the user has to press
ESC to deactivate the menu and continue normal processing. There is no
known cure yet...

that combination. Since Windows can not find the proper element with that
combination, it beeps at us. At that point, Forte picks up the key
combination and will post the FunctionKeyPress event.
The application will work fine, but the beep is not only annoying, but also
is misleading for those individuals using accessibility tools like screen
readers who rely upon audible queues for detecting errors in keyboarding.
Has anyone found any viable solutions to this problem?--

Ah ha - okay. So you're using escapes too, rather than meta8 (this is the default, so makes sense). Yeah, I got it working doing that, but had to adapt my .vimrc to get it to acknowledge the ^[ as "alt". Didn't you, or did a simple map of e.g. <A-a> suffice?
Are you running it in screen/tmux btw? and what is your TERM set to?
Yeah, I thought that too and though I do run it in tmux usually, I've been testing it both with and without (TERM is set to screen-256color BTW) and it made no difference. Still, unless I specifically map the ^[ to alt in vim, it doesn't work. With meta8 it works so long as the locale is not UTF-8.
Guess I've got a workaround for now, but it would be nice if meta8 and utf-8 worked nicely together.
Thanks.
Could you please show how your vimrc looks like? I have the same problem and I'm interested in your workaround.

Left Alt+Shift combination

When I click left Alt+Shift in order to change keyboard language, the Edit window (either in Code or in Design view) looses the focus, so I can't type anymore. I have to use the mouse (click where the text should be) and then start typing again.
Please note that it only occurs in Edit window (where the contents of the page are) and not in any other place. For example I don't have the problem when I'm in the Properties Panel and I want to type an ID in the second language (1st keyboard language is English, 2nd is Greek). Furthermore the problem is only DW (CS4) related. All the other applications are working as they should (Word, Excel, Photoshop, Firefox, etc).
The weird thing is that, when I first open DW the combination works OK, but after a while it doesn't. Especially, after I use the Snippets panel.(select a snippet and click the Insert button).
Any thoughts?

This is a known issue with switching keyboard layout in Dreamweaver. Switching keyboard layout results in the toolbars being redrawn. You can submit a bug report/feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, but there's nothing you can do about it apart from use the mouse to refocus the program after switching.

Alt+ key combination shifts focus to menu

Hi All,
In 10g, we have mapped Alt+F1 for a user-defined action.
However once the action is completed, the focus shifts to the menu.
When we use another combination like Shift+Alt+F1, this does not happen.
Any clues as to why the focus shifts to menu?
Thanks in advance
Rajesh.R

That may be happening because you have the same key combination specified in your menu.
Are you using the default Oracle Forms menu???

Alt + combination disabled only in Xorg

Hello, well I cannot print the characters with left alt key + number combination (such as #, >, < and the rest of them). The problem is that in tty it work perfectly.

Problem with alt key in Photoshop CC2014

I'm running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 Release under Win 7 on a dual monitor system 12 G ram, i7 processor, and a Radeon HD 6700 Graphics card. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. The first problem I noticed was in using ALT-left click to reduce zoom. CTRL-left click zoomed up OK but ALT-left click acted almost like I was pressing the F key to change the view. There are work-arounds for zooming so I continued working. Then I found I could not add a black mask to a layer by pressing ALT while clicking the add layer mask button on the layer panel. I also found that ALT didn't work right in ACR. For example in ACR holding down the ALT key changes the Cancel button to Reset, but clicking on Reset doesn't in fact reset any of the sliders.
I've closed and reopened Photoshop which helped for a short while but the problem came back. I opened Photoshop with the SHIFT-CTRL-ALT keys held down and accepted the resulting dialog box offer to delete preferences, which helped but again the problem returned. I've deleted and redownloaded Photoshop two or three times to no avail, and the last time I also checked that alt key combinations in both Bridge and Lightroom work OK at the same time they are not working in Photoshop. I haven't seen the Alt key misbehave in any application but Photoshop.
I would any suggestions any of you might have about what is wrong.
Message was edited by: Bob Roby to fix typos.

Just to clarify, are you referring to Alt Space bar left click and drag for zoom? If yes, then that needs 'Use GPU' enabled in Preferences > Performance. So can you check that? It actually works with either Ctrl or Alt together with the space bar. Left mouse click and drag left and right to zoom in and out.
If GPU is checked, can you try some different settings?

You should also make sure the video card driver is fully up to date, and from the card maker's web site.

How do i use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" keyboard shortcut to Lock and Unlock Guides in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello,
I've been trying to lock my guides in Illustrator CS5 with the default keyboard shortcut "Alt+Ctrl+;", but with no result.
When i edit this shortcut via the 'Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts...' menu, and type in the same keystroke combination for that command - so again "Alt+Ctrl+;" for "Lock Guides' - the shortcut changes from "Alt+Ctrl+;" into "Alt+Ctrl+."
This new "Alt+Ctrl+." shortcut is usable. Now the same 3 different keystrokes tabbed at the same time do lock and unlock the guides, but i'm left wondering why it is that i can't use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" combination.
There now also seems to be no way around changing the new combination into the old one again.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance,
Johan

Thanks Jacob. I can't seem to find a solution to my problem within the site you linked, but i'm still happy with it. Seems to be a great resource for answers.

[Solved] Alt-Tab window switching no longer working after update (JWM)

The next issue I am trying to straighten out after a recent, long-overdue pacman -Syu, is the loss of window-switching functionality using the alt-tab key combination. This is under the JWM window manager, by the way. The alt key seems to work as expected when, for example, firefox has focus: if I hit alt left arrow, the browser goes back to the preceding page. But if I hit alt and tab together, say, in the browser or when a terminal has focus, it seems to be read as though I were pressing only the tab key. So, with two windows maximized on the desktop, the alt-tab combination does not toggle between them. If the terminal has focus I can see the cursor jumping over a tab space each time I press the key combination.
Can anyone offers pointers on how I might resolve or begin diagnosing this issue? I should mention that another change I did in the wake of the update was to make the system log me in and start the GUI each time I boot the machine (as discussed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … h_profile). I'm not sure why that would have any effect but I thought I should mention it. I think this is just a pretty standard pc105 keyboard by the way.
Input will be appreciated.
Thanks,
James

Thank you for your input, anonymous_user. I decided, on reading it, to compare my .jwmrc with the /etc/system.jwmrc file. I noted that, in my .jwmrc, the keybindings section was empty, while that section in the /etc/system.jwmrc had several entries--and even one that seemed to refer to the alt-tab key combination. So I copied that section into my .jwmrc, restarted JWM, and the key combination now seems to be working as it should. Granted, it's a bit strange in that it doesn't open some kind of dialog box with the names of open windows, showing you in list form the windows you're scrolling through. But it does take you to other open windows when, after you've hit the tab key one or more times, you release the alt key. So the issue is resolved and was pretty simple.

How to disable CTRL+ALT+S on Win8

I have an HP notebook (Pavilion 17 or something) with Windows 8 64-bit.
I mainly use it (and primarily bought it) to play video games.
The shortcut CTRL+ALT+S (which opens system information) interferes with playing video games as I use those keys when doing so and far too often at the same time.
How do I disable the CTRL+ALT+S shortcut?
I mean besides a clean install of Windows without any HP programs, obviously.

Hello @jdk21,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how you are looking to disable the CTRL + ALT + S combination on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To disable this combination, I recommend performing a clean boot on your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on How to perform a clean boot in Windows. This should help boot your system with a minimal set of drivers and software, enabling your system to keep the settings changed with the keyboard combination.
If the issue continues, I recommend following the steps below by proceeding to this file location:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\HP Help and Support
Right click HP Support Information
Click properties
Click the box next to shortcut key
Hit backspace so the field says 'none'
Apply
Done!
(Note, If you can't access the folder above you need to show hidden & system files. In a file explorer window click the view tab at the top, then click options on the right, select 'change folder and search options' if prompted. go to the view tab in the popup. check show hidden files, folders, drives. uncheck hide protected operating system files. apply)

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace issue with Fluxbox and SLiM

Hi folks :)
I'm pretty new to Arch, had a few attempts at installing it in the past but wasn't quite ready and so decided to expand my Linux knowledge a little more, first. Well, I've done that and now I'm having another go, and things are going quite well. However, I have one minor problem. In ~/.xinitrc, I have the line 'exec startfluxbox' to start Fluxbox and do everything that is contained within the ever-so-handy 'startfluxbox' file. That works perfectly. However, if I restart X by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination, I'm sent to the command line rather than SLiM. However, if I replace 'exec startfluxbox' with 'exec fluxbox' it works fine and brings me straight back to the SLiM login window. Of course, I then can't make use of the 'startfluxbox' file.
Could anybody shed some light on why this might be happening? I know it's more than likely going to be something simple that I've missed, but any help would be appreciated. :)
Thanks,
Joel.

And using fluxbox instead of startfluxbox still works? Strange.
I had the same problem as well with slim and Xfce (sometimes SLiM would respawn after some minutes if I logged out normally), and ended up just giving up on SLiM.
I'll give it a try with my openbox-setup (should be similar enough to the fluxbox way).
What happens if you log out of your session instead of killing the xserver?
You could always give some other login manager a try, kdm/gdm or qingy if you want things lite.
[edit: I tried it, SLiM works fine with openbox-session. It needs rather a lot of time to start up after booting but that might have something to do with me having backgrounded daemons rather indiscriminately.
Probably a stupid idea, but have you tried waiting a bit? As I've mentioned, sometimes SLiM took a few minutes to respawn due to some bug or other.

[SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+T

hi guys
sorry if my question is repeated but I can't use Ctrl+Alt+T to launch terminal.
i use gnome 3.
thank you
Last edited by Hossan (2011-11-01 12:39:49)

I've the same problem, can't set CTRL+<key>, SHIFT+<key> or CTRL+SHIFT+<key> combinations, CTRL get always filtered out.
Doing the terminal thing above, only ALT+T does open a terminal for me.
Also, recording shortcuts with function keys produce very odd results, such as:
SHIFT+F5 (or any other F-key) => Shift+VoidSymbol
But if also pressing CTRL, the shortcut produced is:
CTRL+SHIFT+F5 (or any other F-key) => Shift+F5
These shortcuts never work btw, not the key i recorded and not the key gnome seems to record and present you after.
I'm using a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard (italian layout) and gnome has been configured for two layout, en-US and it-IT, to be switched by ALT+CAPSLOCK: i tried everything (leaving one single layout, removing layout switch shortcut... nooone let the shortcuts being recorded correctly and working, only ALT+<key> combinations work).
Anyone with the same behavior?!
Is this the reason due to which i'm not able to get Thunderbird 7 to "get all messages for all accounts" via SHIFT+F5??! Does Gnome capture something for its own magic?!

Latest xkeyboard-config prevents ctrl-alt-backspace from killing X

well, as I wrote in the topic latest xkeyboard-config (1.6-1) is preventing ctrl-alt-backspace combination from killing X. I have DonZap option set to false in my xorg.conf. I don't know if it should be like that. Is it a bug? If not, is it any workaround to make it work again?

karol wrote:@whoops
How did you get that magic spell? RTFM or sth else?
I searched for stuff in google, opened a lot of tabs and somewhere in between there was a site about some patch that said something like "this patch removes the ctrl+alt+backspace keyboard shortcut in xorg - to reenable it, you have to type...".
So I pasted it into a terminal, hit strg+alt+backspace and it worked. Which is why I don't know, where I found that Information.
Might have been an ubuntu patch... maybe I should have mentioned that (in case someone added an ubuntu patch to xorg recently to make it "safer" and this is the result...?). edit: no, it wasn't - just found the ubuntu page I was on, and the information isn't from there. But it was on a patch site. Mostly plain text, code, patch info & lots of stuff I didn't understand.

T420i Fn and ALT keys trigger sleep or shutdown

Hello,
I need help with my T420i, that started to become weird few weeks ago.
symptoms : it shuts down or enters sleep mode while working. First i thought it was somehow random, but then i've reliazed that it happened when i typed Fn or CTRL+ALT key combinations. It first happened while using ubuntu installed in dual boot, but it appears to behave the same under win7.
Diagnosis and repairs trials :
> with a linux live distrib : same behaviour
> using ultimate boot cd : memory check, hdd check, video memory check, with no issue
> formatted the disk and installed debian from zero : same behaviour once installed
> wiped the disk using UBCD (partmagic), and re-installed everything from the initial recovery dvds -> back to original win7 installation
> updated all the drivers and softwares, flashed the bios to new version.
> Tried with an external keyboard : no issue
> Unmounted the keyboard, checked the connector, and made tests with keyboard unmounted, in order to assess whether it could be due to a short-circuit between the keyboard cable and the mother board or the roll cage : no effect.
I suspect a hard problem with the keyboard itself, but is there any other tests i could have forgotten, remaining options to explore ?
If you believe it is actually the keyboard that needs to be replaced, how should i do to have my computer repaired, or to be sent a new keyboard, since it is still under warranty?
thanks for the ideas and suggestions !
Arnaud.

Well, sort of.
I found a setting on my LMS that plays in full screen mode, which solved the problem.

Alt key shortcut woes in InDesign CS6

Greetings,
Our company recently switched from Macs to PCs for design work. Now all of the keyboard shortcuts that had been assigned on the Mac and started with the Option key (e.g., Opt + numeric keypad 1) have switched to the Alt key on the PC (e.g., Alt + numeric keypad 1) and no longer work. All of the shortcuts that use Alt in combination with the Control or Shift keys along with a number from the numeric keypad work as expected. The cause apparently is tied to the Windows OS, which uses the Alt key to shift focus to application menus.
My question is, has anyone found a straight-forward solution or workaround to this issue? Our designers count on those keyboard shortcuts to apply Paragraph, Character and Object styles. Having to revert to selecting from a palette rather than invoking the keyboard shortcut is truly costly in terms of time--a problem exacerbated by tight production deadlines. We have used all of the shortcut options that involve the shift and control keys, so switching the Alt key shortcuts isn't a legitimate option. We've look at using something like Auto Hotkey but have not successfully implemented that, and would prefer not to have to rely on that as a solution in the first place.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Bob and Peter, thanks for your posts. Bob, I had previously come across the article by Sandee Cohen that you referenced. The technique there seems to provide a method to remap InDesign's keyboard shortcuts to allow use of the Alt key for events within ID, but I haven't been able to apply this strategy to custom shortcuts applied to paragraph, character and object styles. And the designer who developed our shortcuts very systematically used all of the available combinations (shift, option/alt, control, alone or in combos, and 0 through 9 on the numeric keypad). They had a great system on the Mac that unfortunately has now fallen apart on the PC.
I'll keep digging and definitely welcome more advice. Thanks again!
Kevin
