I can't see that this is possible

  • How can I use Automator to toggle the Function Keys?

    I am trying to create a Automated process to toggle the Function Keys on my keyboard. This is because I use several programs, including After Effects, which use the F1-12 keys, but when I am not using that program I commonly use the Apple-defined shortcuts on the keyboard. I have a full-sized keyboard, hence no Fn key. So that's out right away – I've read several comments on this topic where people suggested that this is the ONLY option. I refuse to beleive that.
    Automator contains a "Watch Me Do" feature, which I have tried to use to record this process. Problem is, it never clicks the right object. If I record clicking the dock, the magnification (I suspect) throws off the virtual-controlled mouse and picks the wrong object. If I record the Apple Menu route, it gets it about 1/2 the time.
    I think what I'm really looking for is a console command I can feed into the Terminal which toggles the keys. It seems to be that this HAS to be an option, even if it is more than one line of commands. I believe if I can feed this process into Automator, it would work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance, Mac Geniuses!

    iKey lets you define function keys per application. You seem to want to turn on & off the defined apple keys.  Not sure if these keyboard re-mappers will do the trick.
    Here is my other most favored application. Of course, I haven't checked these out in newer OS's. I'm a Tiger man myself.
    iKey is a front end program that simulates typing and mouse movements. I use iKey to remap the Function keys.
    "iKey is an automation utility, a program that creates shortcuts to accomplish repetitive tasks. In essence, an iKey shortcut is a little program in its own right, but you don't need to know the first thing about programming to create an iKey shortcut. All you have to do is put together three necessary parts of a shortcut: One or more commands that give the shortcut its functionality, a context in which it runs, and a launcher that defines how the shortcut is activated."

    iKey  has a little more function then the previous free version called youpi key. For many years, I used youpi key before switching to iKey.  It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported.  The youpi key download is hard to find & no longer here.
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11485&vid=75326
    ( Send me a message for a copy of youpi  key. )
    *Examples:*
    I have the common programs that I use assigned to function keys. I have F4 assigned to Firefox. When I want to start FireFox, I press F4. When I want to switch to firefox, I press F4! Starting & switching to an application in Mac OS are the same thing in Mac OS.

    Here is my script for listing my application folder. I have it assigned to function-key 6.
    tell application "Finder"
       open folder "Applications" of startup disk
       select Finder window 1
       set bounds of Finder window 1 to {-3, 44, 691, 545}
       --set position of Finder window 1 to {33, 44}
       set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
       activate
    end tell
    The second portion of this script was generated in the script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some editing, I copy the script to ikey/youpi key.

  • Pressing enter query function key more than once displays past search key

    At present, in Oracle Forms this is what's happening:
    1. User presses entery-query (F7)
    2. User searches for employee name smith. Plases %Smith% in the employee name field.
    3. User presses execute-query (F8)
    4. All employee names with "Smith" is displayed.
    5. User presses enter-query again (F7). Screen is cleared.
    6. User presses enter-query for the 2nd time (F7). %Smith% appears on the employee name field.
    The problem is the user do not want %Smith% to appear the second time they press enter-query. If you guys have any idea or have experienced this, please let me know.
    Thanks.

    You are experiencing the default query last criteria functionality. When you execute the ENTER_QUERY built-in while in enter query mode, it will show the last query criteria. To override this, you could create a KEY-ENTQRY trigger on your block and give it code similar to:
    IF :SYSTEM.MODE != 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
      ENTER_QUERY;
    END IF;

  • Show blank texts instead of key or 'not assigned' in query-result

    Hi,
    is there a way / workaround to
    1. suppress # / 'not assigned' in query results?
    or
    2. show blank texts (if maintained) instead of the key
        (when showing texts for a characteristic in a query all characteristics with blank texts - none or ' ' -
         will show the key instead of the blan text) ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Christoph,
    there have been several posts concerning this topic. As Saad told there is no direct way within SAP standard to reach this aim.

    HI
    Double Click on your Screen and then Elements Tab, give OK_CODE of OK_CODE.
    Now in Click on Flow Logic Tab , uncomment MODULE STATUS_YOUR_SCREEN_NUMBER. Create this.
    Here you find SET PF_STATUS Just Double click on this this will enable you to Assign Function Keys.
    If you want to Assign Function Key to the Push Buttons that you created Double Click on the Push Button then on the Attributes Screen you can enter the Funciton Code for this Push Button,

  • Assign function key in mail to automate steps

    One of my most frequent steps in Apple Mail is moving mail that has been read to different mailboxes. I have, until now, simply dragged the mail to its destination mailbox on the sidebar. But I would prefer to do this using just the keypad. There is a 'Move to...' action on the Messages menu. But there is no pre-defined shortcut. How do I create a shortcut to this function? For example, how could I assign the F14 key to trigger the =move to function?

  • Can a function key be assigned to launch a program?

    I never seem to use the F13 - F19 keys. Is there a simple way in OS 10.6.5 to assign one of these function keys to launch a program, rather than having to click it in the dock? It would be a nice convenience, but not nice enough to have to purchase a separate program. Thanks.

    Quicksilver, free, reviewed at [http://www.macworld.com/reviews/product/526533/review/quicksilver.html] However the doing a web search for this reveals somewhat uncertain sources. There's a 10.6 version at http://www.blacktree.com/ The site looks pretty broken but the download still works.
    Second edit:
    Seeing that Quicksilver's site appears to be unsupported you might be better with the Spark recommendation. One Spark user even said they had given up on QS for Spark.

  • Error when trying to assign Function Key as Service menu shortcut

    When I try to assign Control-Option-F15 to a Service Menu item in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts I get the following error in the Console:
    9/14/09 10:09:27 AM System Preferences[878] * Assertion failure in +[NSKeyboardShortcut shortcutWithKeyEquivalent:modifierMask:], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1038.11/Menus.subproj/NSMenu_KeyEquivalents.m:37
    9/14/09 10:09:27 AM System Preferences[878] Invalid parameter not satisfying: c != nil
    Is it possible to assign function keys as keyboard shortcuts to Service menu items?

    I have the same problem (though I didn't look in the Console): I try to assign F8 to one of my services and the shortcut just stays blank. However, I have found a work-around:
    1. Leave the shortcut for the service blank, but make a note of the name -- in my case, "iTunes- PlayPause".
    2. Go to "Application Shortcuts" on the left of the Keyboard Shortcuts preference pane.
    3. Add an item under "All Applications" giving it the name of your service (eg. "iTunes- PlayPause") and you can then assign a function key as the shortcut (eg. F8).
    Since the service appears in the application's "Services" menu, it will now have the shortcut assigned uner "All Applications". An annoying bug, but at least there's a workaround.

  • Querying problem - FRM-41009 :Function Keys not allowed.. DIFFERENT!!

    amazin place ..this is... learned a lot from this place when it comes to developing oracle forms.... just such a lot of support... the issue at hand... yes
    the problem im facing is when im querying in my form.. it keeps giving me the FRM-41009 error. however it does execute the query and even i can find records by entering a value, so it really doesnt affect the functionality of the system. but the problem is this, if i search for something non-existent, then the error gets displayed in its pretty little box smack in the middle of the screen.. ruins the entire thing... and then at the bottom i see the 'query didnt return anythin' message.
    im extending an existing system which is not documented and everything is all compiled and stuff and im using some of their libraries.
    im sure somewhere there is a little bit of code that is disabling function keys.. but i dont seem to understand why must that be affected by a little button on my control bar and basically i just need to get rid of the darned message..
    so is there a workaround this???
    experts of the forums .... HELP!!!
    cheers

    thanks for the quick response prashant and greg..
    it works now..
    ok.. but is it also possible to make an error/message to appear?
    for example now, my 'query didnt match anything' message is displayed at the bottom.. id like to have it come in a window in the middle of the screen

  • Problem with assigning function key to button

    Hi
    JHs:     11.1.1.3.35
    JDev: 11.1.1.4
    I have a button which I want to assign a function key to. I did based on the JHs tutorial and added the following lines:
    1) #ADD_GROUP_ACTION(${JHS.page.group} "RefreshButton" "${JHS.current.item.id}") to TOOLBAR_BUTTON template
    2) ${JHS.registerFunctionKey("shift F5","Shift+F5","Refresh","RefreshButton",true)} to REGISTER_FUNCTION_KEYS template
    Now, the new function key appears in the list of function keys when I press ctrl+K but pressing ctrl+k doesn't have any effect. I have no idea why it doesn't work. What should I do to make it work?
    Here is the attribute added to the page:
    <f:attribute name="RefreshButton"
    value="ReplyDepartmentQueuePC:ReplyDepartmentQueueRefreshBtn"/>
    and here is the commandButton definition code:
    <af:commandButton id="ReplyDepartmentQueueRefreshBtn"
    textAndAccessKey="#{nls['REPLYDEPARTMENTQUEUE_REFRESHBTN']}"
    icon="/jheadstart/images/refresh.gif"
    actionListener="#{bindings.ExecuteQueryReplyDepartmentQueue.execute}"
    shortDesc="#{nls['REPLYDEPARTMENTQUEUE_REFRESHBTN_HINT']}"
    iconPosition="trailing"></af:commandButton>
    Cheers,

    Hi Steven
    Running the application in debug mode proved that the problem is not in FunctionKeyHandlerImpl.handleKeyCode and the function key was doing well but the results were not reflecting in the table. Setting the partialSubmit of the button to true and adding the id of button to the partial triggers of the table solved the problem.
    Thank you so much about the hint on turning ADF logging on, it is very handy.

  • Function Key Assignment Issue?

    When I go to SE41 and try to add a new application toolbar object.... I used to just enter it, then SAP asked me to assign an F key.

    Any suggestions?
    Thank-You.

    1) enter a item details in cell and then press enter .

    3)Select Static text and press enter
    4) In the "Enter Function Text " pop-up screen enter the Function text field value and press enter.
    5)Then on the "Assign Function to Function keys" screen select the function key that you wnat according to your requirement.
    6) then save and Activate.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I assign a function key on my IMAC's wired keyboard to enter my email address in documents or on internet forms?

    I'm trying to set up my wired IMAC keyboard to create shortcuts to enter my email adresses into emails or into web forms.  I was able to do this when I was working with PCs but can't find direction on the process for the MAC.  There seems to be 7 unused Function Keys at the top of the keyboard that are srrving no apparent purpose so logic tells me they must be available for sutomization.
    Please help. My fingers are tired...

    I don't think you can with the standard Mac OS X tools / sys prefs..
    You have to step into the realm of 3rd party key mapper tools.
      I'm reluctant to go there..
    I'm happy being able to remap option to be my command key
      using the standard System Preferences ->Keyboard..
    but.. googling a bit shows some 3rd party tools..
