Backspace a whole sentence?

So my backspace key needs help!!
When I want to, say, delete a sentence i can't just hold down the backpsace button to delete the sentence, i have to press it up and dwon for every single character
So i was wondering if they was a way to take it off this setting???
Version 10.9.5

You've been IOS-ed. Since IOS does not do key repeat, Apple decided that for consistency, like "Natural" scroll direction, you might like to have n  and n-tilde appear instead of key repeat. So they changed it for you, and did not add a simple control to change it back. But there is a way, with this:

  • Action that finds specified words and highlight the whole sentence or paragraph

    Hi All,
    I know a action file from Acrobat users group (http://acrobatusers.com/content/find-highlight-words-and-phrases) which find and highlight a set of words using Acrobat action. But, is this possible to modify the javascript to select and highlight the "whole sentence" of the word selected? I have no knowledge about javascript, but hope I can learn how to search a word and grab the sentence or even the paragraph that a selected word appears in!
    Thanks a lot for all your help.
    I copied the said javascript in below:
    / Highlight Color
    var colHilite = color.yellow;
    var oDoc = event.target;
    var aAnnts = oDoc.getAnnots({sortBy:"Author"});
    for(var i=0;i<aAnnts.length;i++)
       if(aAnnts[i].type == "Redact")
          aAnnts[i].type = "Highlight";
          aAnnts[i].strokeColor = colHilite;

    Thanks for your reply! But can I just extend the selection like a number of words or entire line of sentence before and after that search word for highlight/redaction? like Acrobat advanced search did some kind of result for finding but not wide enough I think.

    FastFox, a program that can extend by me selected letters to words or whole sentences, and even draw up tables in Wikipedia, has stopped working in Firefox. FastFox has always worked very well with FastFox, but not anymore. FastFox still works excellent in Mozilla Thunderbird, Google Chrome and Safari, but not in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.6. I need help with this because I am disabled after a meningitis caused by medical doctors in 2005. I rely on automatic writing programs, and unfortunately does not the alternative program AllChars work in Windows 7. I do not know of any other similar programs, which write "The United States of America" when I write the code that I have chosen - "USA+". I have not downloaded any new extentions to Firefox.

    Hello Stefan.

  • Selecting a whole sentence

    I can’t seem to select a whole sentence (with the terminal period symbol) like I can in Adobe Reader or Acrobat (or any other PDF viewer).  If anyone has figured out how to do that, please let me know.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, there really are links in the Word file and they all work fine until a certain point where they don't work or some do and some don't but the 15 first pages work just fine and every link has been created the same way. All links are relative.
    It does work to enter the links in the pdf file directly through Acrobat but I wanted to know if there was a way to just convert it since all the info is in the Word file.
    Has anybody ever hade this kind of problem before? Because this is the second time it happens to me.

    Hi Ponta,
    How can I set up or use Numbers so that when I want to change the fill color of a cell, I can just click once and not have to go through a whole sequence?
    I don't see a way to add a colour fill with one click. The Mac way is to select something (point and click):
    "Hey, You!"
    and then give it an order:
    "Do this!"
    Numbers 3.2 retains the glorious Colour Window of Numbers 2. Menu > View > Show (or Hide) Colors (shift command c)
    Select the cell(s) where you want a backgound fill:
    Now drag a colour (for example, Honeydew from the Crayons Palette) to one of the selected cells:
    Edit:
    is there a way to set up a dozen or so of my favorite colors somewhere so I can select a cell then just click the one I want?
    Yes. Salmon dragged from the Crayons Palette to a Custom Palette at the bottom:
    Still there after I Quit Numbers without Saving . Drag from the Custom Palette to selected cells:
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Why only part of a sentence is shown??

    When I get a value from the database and attempt to display it on an edit box, like:
    Name:
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="entry" VALUE=<%= resultset.getString(1) %> >
    only the first word of the sentence is shown.
    But if I attempt to display this value on the webpage like:
    Name: <%= resultset.getString(1) %>
    the whole sentence is displayed.
    It seems that in the first case, the edit box does not like spaces between words.
    Why is that and how can I get the whole sentence?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello!
    You should ALWAYS use "" to encapsulate your strings in tags.

  • Search and highlight found sentence

    I'm designing a C# console application that searches sentences in a PDF text (i.e multiple words separated by space , and may be separated by line) and a title sentence that may take more than one line .
    I get the pdf text in a string then match the given sentences against them , for example i'm matching a pdf string against a title like this :  "Lower leg compartment syndrome post \nappendicectomy"
    the point is i need the search to allow searching the whole sentence even if it's separated by lines then highlight it when matches.. can any one help ?

    Ok, this would be done by JavaScript, through the VB:JavaScript linkage. VB is a better choice but it appears that it might be possible to do this with C#, not sure.
    To find positions of text you use doc.getPageNthWord and doc.getPageNthWordQuads. This gives the position of each word and NOTHING ELSE. To look for consecutive words you would need to analyse the results. Text in a PDF is not just strings with newlines, but a complicated collection of graphics; getPageNthWord assembles the graphics and uses GUESSWORK to pick word boundaries.
    I believe you can also use JavaScript to add highlight annotations.
    You might use the OLE API to open, save and close the framing PDF, assuming it isn't already open in Acrobat.

  • Sharepoint 2013 Search Query, get 'Starts With' for the whole term.

    Hi,
    I need to build an A to Z index for the values of a particular managed property. Managed property contains text with multiple words (for example: 'Whole Sale Items', 'Sample Items').
    I need the search to return the values that start with a particular letter. 'myPropOWSTEXT:s*' should return 'Sample Items'. However, this query returns both 'Whole Sale Items' and 'Sample Items'. 
    Is there a way to write query so that I can get the text values that start with a letter from the beginning of the whole sentence? I mean, in the above example, is there a way that the query returns 'Sale Items' only and
    NOT 'Whole Sale Items'?

    Hi sukhdevtur,
    Could you please elaborate the requirement? Also please provide a screenshot about the issue if possible.
    What do you mean "Managed property contains text with multiple words (for example: 'Whole Sale Items', 'Sample Items')."?
    Is the list column value containing multiple values(e.g. multiple choices type column, manged metadata type column)? 
    Also it is by design that SharePoint query will match each word divided by the special character "blank space", if it's the case for your issue, as a workaround, you can remove the "blanks space" between the words(e.g.
    WholeSaleItems, SampleItems), then start a full crawl and test again, it should work.
    Thanks

  • Separating a sentence into words

    hi there..what is the best or most efficient algorithm for separating a string into words? the string contains a sentences and phrases, and i would like to have them separated into words..how can i do this manually? without using a native java method?

    You question can be best answered by using the Java native method
    import java.util.StringTokenizer;
    StringTokenizer word =
            new StringTokenizer("You have the answer, Spider.", "  \n.,");
    while (word.hasMoreTokens())
    System.out.println(word.nextToken());
    Output:
    You
    have
    the
    answer
    Spider
    The string tokenizer is provided a sentence and a set of separators. In this case the blank, new-line, comma and period. So, the basic idea is:
    Start from the beginning of the sentence provided.
    Scan each character and check if it is the one specified as separators.
    If it is, print all the character/s before the separator.
    Start again from the position right after the sepator and follow the same technique to iterate through the whole sentence.
    I hope that will help you to implement your own algorithm.
    Good luck!

  • Colorizing Links within a sentence.

    I have a question about colored text and links.
    I am able color the last word of a sentence and then successfully convert the word to a link
    without the colored text changing.
    Whenever I try to turn a WORD in the middle of the sentence into a link the color option is not available. The linked word just changes to underlined text and the font color is set to default black.
    I understand that underlined text constitutes some kind of a secret handshake in the internet world but I would still like my links to be a little more graphic.
    Any ideas how to accomplish this?

    Yes and this is because you need to use the Hyperlink Formatting to change the underline and the colour.
    If you create something as a link then you cannot select the colour first, you need to create the hyperlink first and then Format.
    So, go to the whole sentence that you want to hyperlink and select it, then open the Inspector and click on Hyperlink and select what you want to do, so for example select link to an external page and then type in the website address (url) and once you do this, you are correct that your link will then be underlined and will be a dark colour. To alter this, click on Format and click the boxes to get rid of the underline and change your link colour to anything you want.
    I thought that Old Toad's example would have been clear enough for you? Look at it again - to change anything to do with Hyperlinks it is the Hyperlink Format that you need and nothing else. Also, you can select a whole paragraph to be a link if you want and not just individual words.

  • IPhone 3G Keyboard Bug/Problem/Feature? Can anyone reproduce this?

    Hi -
    I'm now on my 3rd iPhone 3g (16GB, Black) and I'm still having trouble with it.
    As of now I cannot comment on reception/3G issues, since I have only had this particular iPhone for about an hour and a half. However, I've encountered a strange problem when trying to enter a company's name in Contacts on multiple iPhones after multiple restores from Recovery Mode.
    Please help me reproduce this and figure out if it is intended behavior or not; both the Rockaway and Bridgewater, NJ Apple Stores did not seem to know.
    Here is what I am doing:
    1) Go to contacts (via either the phone menu or the Home Screen Icon)
    2) Click the plus sign on the top right
    3) Click "First Last" as if to type in a name
    4) Click in the 3rd field, for Company
    5) Type "R.I.T.A."
    6) Hit backspace once or twice...
    What occurs is quite strange - the whole text field will sometimes delete itself, "click-click-clicking" along the way as if I am hitting backspace over and over again.
    I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.
    Thanks.
    -Scott

    sburck; I have had the same thing happen to me when drafting an email. I type several sentences and then all of a sudden it starts doing backspaces deleting characters until I stop it by hitting some letter.It has erased in this matter whole sentences before I could stop it, and has done this maybe a half dozen times. This really sounds to me to be a bug. Since there is no hard key to stick, this is most likely something in the firmware/software. I have only seen this so far when writing a email.

  • The first letter often go missing

    I have been using MB Black C2d for two months.
    when I type, the first letters often go missing.
    I thought I just need more time to get familiar with keyboard.
    Not always, but the first letters still, sometimes go missing.
    I have to hit backspace few times to re-type the missing first letter or re-type whole sentence again.
    It's really frustrating.
    Note: Exact same problems posted under discussions > MacBook pro > using your MacBook Pro
    I am not the only one!

    Hej to all of you!
    I got my MacBook in the beginning of July 2007. A long time I didn't realized that there is a real problem with my keyboard. I often have the problem when I want to type big letters. I thought, maybe I write too fast and don't press the shift button correctly. Very often I have to delete and type again.
    But to write big letters is not the only problem, the keyboard often doesn't count the first letter when I write something into safari, pages or other programs. I put my whole attention on the thing to find out a special case.
    Here it is: It matters approximately 90 percent for sure when I fill in e.g a dictionary web page get a vocable and go on reading 2-3 minutes and want to type in the next word. Then the first letter is nearly always missing.
    Hope someone how is responsible for reads my entry.

  • Everytime I hit enter Pages Spaces out my paragraph from the Body!

    What gives? I took it to the Apple Store, they had no clue. Any suggestions before I do a complete reinstall?
    Also, if I had typed all of this in Pages it would have gone down a line as I was typing. It's like some gremlin is hitting the enter key everytime I finishe a word or start typing. At least I'm able to make whole sentences, I just have pages and pages of space until I can go back and hit backspace to delete it.
    Really annoying.
    Hope my description of the problem was clear.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello Mac
    If i understand your porblem correctly it has to do with the text block format capabilites of pages. Turn on your Format Menu-bar, in the middle left of the menu there are 4 buttons with different text format posibillities. Turn the block text format off, and your problem should be solved.
    hope this is helpful

  • Content tab in Options..."Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" and it's box disappeared from my options...I need it back...

    I was having problems with some sites having such faded lettering that I couldn't even read them. So I unchecked the box for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above". That screwed EVERYTHING up...backgrounds on websites are gone and buttons are hardly recognizable on some pages (including this one). I went back to re-check that box, and that option is no longer in the menu...the whole sentence and it's associated check box are completely gone. I even tried tabbing through to see if I just couldn't see them, and nothing. Absolutely disappeared. I also tried checking and unchecking the same box under the "advanced" button settings and that made a difference on how web pages looked, but did not fix the problem...Help???

    Did you look here?
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
