Automatic keyboard input

I have a pre-packaged program (an installer) that when it is run, it comes to points where it needs keyboard input from the user.
"Choose one of the choices:
1 - do this
2 - do that
3 - do something else"
waits for input
User: "1"
continues on
Is there a way of emulating that user input so that a java program that runs the installer could input the keyboard information to the installer without any user input. In other words, I want a java program to run the installer from start to finish without any user intervention.
I don't have access to the installer so there isn't the option of changing the installer (and even if I did, I wouldn't have it as an option).

  • Default Keyboard input change in using roaming Profile on different Win 7

    We found a strange problem on default Keyboard setting.
    We are using roaming profiles for all users.
    One of our users is using two Windows 7. One Windows 7 is VDI for working out of office and another Win 7 is her local PC.
    She is only using Two keyboard input: Chinese Traditional English and Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
    Whenever she had used the Windows 7 VDI, when she comes back to office and use her local PC, the default Keyboard input will automatically change to Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
    The user said she had not changed any default keyboard input in the VDI of local PC.
    Is there anything we can do for this issue?

  • Keyboard input source "randomly" changing???

    Keyboard input source “randomly” changing???
    Hi: I’m trying to learn the Dvorak keyboard as a touch typer, so I change my input source from “US” which is hunt and peck to “Dvorak”. But, weirdly (at least to me), I will have changed from one input source to the other, and yet 15’ later in a different program the input source is still on the other.
    Is there some kind of auto sensing feature where the input source defaults to whatever was used with that document the last time or something like that? If so, is there a way to disable this feature so that what keyboard layout one chooses as an input source always stays that way until manually changed? Or is there another explanation for this behaviour?
    Thank you very much!!!

    In System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources is the option "Automatically Switch To A Document’s Input Source" selected perhaps?
    Alternatively, in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts under Input Sources a shortcut for switching the input source might be selected. Perhaps you inadvertedly type that key combination sometimes.

  • TS3280 How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?

    How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
    This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

    You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
    I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

    I have a new mac book pro (sept 2014) and am suddenly stuck on the log-in screen. Keyboard input is not working to enter my password. Seems to be a log in issue as keyboard works for forced troubleshooting. (And b/c when I first noticed the problem, I was able to enter my log in password but then everything sort of froze. Now, no ability to enter the password.) Already tried a basic restart and a cmmnd/ cntrl/ pwr troubleshoot to no effect.

  • How to have same keyboards input source in Mac and Windows???

    I use Canadian French-CSA on my Mac keyboards input source. Using Windows 7, I can't find the good setting for my keyboards to be the same when I it keys.
    I run Windows over Parallels Desktop
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you

    Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
    Yes.
    and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
    The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
    and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
    If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
    Or is there another Airport base station?
    The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
    OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
    That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

  • How to use the phone's Mini-Keyboard Input with the 'Textbox'(MIDP2.0)?

    (My apology. My English is not perfect but I'll try my best. >_<)
    Hi. I'm trying to create a textbox(in my own little application) that is compatible with the mini-keyboard input feature.
    This problem involved any device that have a built-in "mini-keyboard".
    Problem:
    I tried the 'Textbox' class from MIDP2.0 but the result, as expected, is like using the phones with no built-in keyboard.
    (Forexample if I want to input the character 'C' inthe text box, I need to press number '2' button three times to let it circle through 'A' -> 'B' then 'C'. )
    Then I tried entering URLs in the phone's built-in web browser, the result is I can use the mini keyboard to type like a PC keyboard.
    Question: How do I implement such textbox that is fully compatible with the built-in mini Keyboard?
    I tried browsing through the MIDP2.0 API but it seems the 'Textbox' class there couldn't do it.
    Thank you. =)
    /bow
    Edit/Delete Message

    The textbox should have input just as any other normal phone input. If not, something strange is going on.
    Anyway , there is no use to make your own input method, since every phone has another implementation of this anyway. It would only confuse users.

  • Firefox and Thunderbird are suddenly not accepting keyboard input

    Keyboard shortcuts still work just input in any kind of input field fails so I can still use ctrl+C / CTRL+V to somewhat use firefox and Thunderbird But all input fields are completely unresponsive to keyboard input
    The problem suddenly arose while I was browsing.
    I have the same issue on all program's based on the Gecko engine and I confirmed them so far in Firefox, waterfox, instantbird, thunderbird and fossamail. However chromium / windows / basically everythign n
    To fix it I tried the following:
    Restarting firefox
    Restarting firefox in savemode
    Rebooting
    Changing the keyboard layout in windows
    Using a different keyboard
    Again rebooting
    Pressing F7 to check for caret mode which was disabled
    pressing winkey + F9 (Whatever that does)
    I am running windows 8.1(x64)

    Solved, Changing the keyboard layout again and rebooting fixed it. I tried using the on screen keyboard which worked so I changed the keyboard layout again and rebooted and now it works just fine. I still wonder what caused a Gecko wide issue like this?

  • CS3 Language Keyboard Input Error

    Greetings All,
    I have been trouble-shooting this problem for a while, but still it is not resolved. Any help or ideas would be gladly received!
    Background: We have a correctly functioning installation of Win XP, and PS CS3 Extended which appears to work normally in every other regard. No obvious errors; no crashes, no start-up complaints; nothing seemingly out of order. I use several installed languages in Windows (EngUK, Russian, Swedish, etc). All of these work normally. All of my installed fonts work correctly in every application on the system except for CS3.
    There would appear to be something wrong with CS3's keyboard mapping in foreign languages. When typing with a non-English keyboard setting (any other language) and using TrueType fonts (not Open), only 'missing character' boxes appear in the artwork. The Layers menu displays the typed text correctly, but this will not appear in the artwork. If I use an old install of PS7, I can type using these same fonts correctly in any language. These layers can be imported into CS3, and these WILL display correctly on the artwork. However, the Layers menu in this case displays nonsensical characters. Ergo, I suspect that CS3's keyboard input data is errant.
    Where does PS3 keep its information regarding language / keyboard layout? It is possible to edit this file(s)? Are there any other ideas regarding this problem and what might be wrong?
    Thanks

  • Spaces locks keyboard input

    Per Sean Dale1, the following was mis-posted in the 10.5 Leopard thread (original post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2201088):
    Have been running into this problem more and more frequently on both a MacBook Pro and Mac Pro tower running 10.6.1 and 10.6.2: when I Control-right-arrow to move to my other "space" one or two of two bad things will happen:
    (1) the icon in the middle-bottom of the screen showing which "space" I'm in does NOT fade away and disappear
    (2) I am prevented from doing ANY keyboard-input into my programs there. I will be able to click and highlight windows using the mouse, as well as see menus activating and such, but anywhere there is a text field (browser or address book or ANYwhere) keyboard input is not displayed.
    The only solution is to go into the Activity Monitor and quit the Dock application.
    Have been seeing this problem for a few weeks which persists through reboots and such.
    Ideas?

    This issue is being covered in more detail at this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2161076
    This suddenly started happening to me yesterday and now happens every time I switch Spaces with the keyboard. I've found that the only way around it is to only use the menubar icon to switch. Because I'm so used to clicking keys to switch Spaces and still do it unconsciously, I've disabled the keys in Spaces prefs.

  • Automatic keyboard illumination

    Hi, I've got a late 2011 macbook pro 13'' and seem to have a problem with the automatic keyboard illumination.
    When is set to automatic the backlight dims in low light conditions instead of brightening. I hold my finger in front of the light sensor and it dims the keyboard to hlf the brightness, I take it off and the keyboard lights up full brightness.
    Isn't it supposed to be the other way around.
    Thanks!!

    An SMC reset should be able to fix this odd problem:
    Lights
    The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).

  • Setting keyboard input to default to phone

    Trying to figure out how to set my keyboard input to default to the phone, NOT to search or any other text-based input. I want to be able to type a phone number into my phone and call someone. Is this too much to ask? I have spent hours trying to figure this out and can't find an answer. Help please! And thanks.

    I don't think so, that I know of.
    Are most of your calls all dialed by number or are there a few numbers you dial quite often?
    You can set a screen shortcut to those.

  • Installed rdesktop - but keyboard input still goes to Mac Terminal??

    My work PC has been "upgraded" to Windows 7 which made the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection v2.0.1 stop working (it connects OK, I can login and see my work PC screen, but as soon as I try to do something I am "disconnected" from the PC).  I can't install RDC 2.1 because I have a PPC G5.
    So I searched for alternative remote desktop apps.  Cord 0.5.0 crashes on my machine and 0.5.5 won't even start up.
    I ended up installing rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org)
    It looks promising - very fast, and gets me to my PC login screen.  My mouse pointer can click on the screen buttons, but any keyboard input appears in my G5 Terminal window and is not sent to the Windows 7 PC.  This makes it impossible to enter my Windows 7 password to login!
    I'm sure this is a simple problem to solve but I have no idea on how to solve it.
    Any clues appreciated.  Thanks.

    Try:
    rdesktop -x m -r clipboard:"CLIPBOARD" -g 1280x1024 -u<username> <hostip>
    I do recommend using ssh tunnel for RDP over internet. Is more secure and limits open ports to only ssh port in firewall.
    There are instructions about on how to use cygwin with RSA key login, turn off ssh password login when working properly.

  • Troubleshoot keyboard input problem

    the right hand shift key, and full stop, have stopped working. When I attached a different apple keyboard the same thing happened to it. The only way I can get a full stop is with the numeric pad, and the only way to get shift is with the left hand shift key. Does anyone have a solution, please?

    Well, the game is a bit big now, but the problem is definitely in the file GameBoard.java, and my source is:
    http://userpages.umbc.edu/~cbutle3/space.zip
    It is simply a Space Invaders Game. I have gotten almost everything working but keyboard input. I have it set up now so that the game even plays itself, cuz it doesn't listen to my button presses :)
    I really want to add a KeyListener to the JPanel (the GameBoard extends JPanel) so that keyboard input is invisible, but it won't let me - says the GameBoard never has focus and just ignores it. So to get any key input to work at all, I temporarily added a TextField to the panel, and added the KeyListener to the TextField. That's part of the problem. And the main problem is that inside the "gameplay" loop, the KeyListener has no effect. I tried making a new class with a run(), putting the KeyListener in there and calling start() from the GameBoard, but it had the same outcome. Please help! :)
