Backspace key: Can it have a shortcut?

Since making changes to my Custom Set of Keyboard Shortcut commands I seem to have lost the backspace key's function of deleting frames, though the key still deletes in type mode and works like it should in, say, Illustrator. I can't recall how I might have used the key itself as a shortcut, but use it I must have, because it's okay when I change back to Default mode. In my Custom Set I've double-checked Keyboard Shortcuts and gone through the Product Areas I remember changing such as View Menu, Tools and View and Navigation but can't track it down.
All suggestions most welcome.
Michael

Sometimes when a key doesn't work as you expect and you think you may have used it as a shortcut, a very simple way to check is to select any command at random and input that key as a new shortcut. InDesign will tell you where you've used it, though you may have to try another Context.
(Just don't hit Assign, eh.)

How many primary keys can w have in cube, ods objects?

how many primary keys can w have in cube, ods objects?

Hi Naresh,
16 primary keys only possible(for cube: 16 dimensions, ODS - Keyfields)
For ODS:
-         You can create a maximum of 16 key fields (if you have more key fields, you can combine fields using a routine for a key field (concatenate).)
-         You can create a maximum of 749 fields
-         You can use 1962 bytes (minus 44 bytes for the change log)
-         You cannot include key figures as key fields
More info: [Creating ODS Objects|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/4a/e71f39488fee0ce10000000a114084/content.htm]
Hope it Helps

How can I have a shortcut key that is not a JMenuItem

Hi,
I'm trying to make "ctrl-f" a shortcut key in my program.
I know I can do this as a JMenuItem by:
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F, KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK));
However, I would rather not have it in the menu.
How would I do this without having it as a JMenuItem?
Thanks,
Daniel Lorimer

As a user I hate designs like this. How am I supposed to know what all the shortcut keys are? Using a menu item is a form of self documentation
Anyway, check out the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html]How to Use Key Bindings.

Backspace Key stopped working normally on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I was able to use my backspace/return key totally fine by just pressing it and it would go back a space. One day i start my laptop up and i am not able to go back anymore, absolutely nothing happens when i press my backspace key, i now have to press fn+backspace in order to use the normal backspace option of deleting one letter or several letters that i have just typed. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue as the backpace is now fn+backspace, how do i get it to go back to normal as it is tres annoying to press two keys for this? Any help is much appreciated.

Create another user account on the computer and see if it behaves the same way. If it does then it's probably a hardware issue, if it doesn't then it's software and most likely a setting that has changed.

Disable backspace key as 'go back'

Does anyone know a way to prevent the backspace key from acting like a shortcut for "Go back"?
I never, ever use backspace for that function. The only times I go to the previous webpage by pressing the backspace key are unintentional and often cause loss of information on dynamic webpages.
I believe that making the backspace key act as both a text editing tool and a history navigation shortcut, based solely on whether the cursor is inside a text field or not, is a serious design flaw. I may be mistaken but I believe this behaviour was copied from Internet Explorer. Why on earth did Apple copy a design flaw from the most flawed browser in the world?
So, kudos to anyone who knows a Safari equivalent of setting "browser.backspace_action 2" in Firefox.

Hi Derek,
This feature is sufficiently annoying to make we want to change browsers until Apple fixes it.
Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple...
Everyone here on the forum is just a fellow user like yourself. I'm not aware of a way to override it, but maybe someone else will chime in.

See also this article about caret browsing: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

For example if I'm in Excel and have 5 windows open I want to be able to scroll between each window of Excel only with a shortcut.
Please help!

Command and ~ keys to tab between open windows.
Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key. Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.

And what is wrong with using a remote connection?
Ideally I would like to implement it in an API tool that would create Oracle Databases for an API with specific prescriptions once give DBName and Password .
Thus I think for an API tool to create remote shell connection maybe is an anti-pattern from Software Architecture
e.g. I already red from Microsoft Doc that PSEXEC is sometime blocked from antiviruses
But it was just a question, I may not do it, as informed, that companies having Oracle DB, usually have an Oracle DBA, and an Oracle DBA some times may not let anyone touch the Databases on the Server. Also Oracle DB Server might be on different Operating Systems while the API tool will always be Windows
The method you use will necessarily be somewhat dependent on the OS of the server. If Windows, what's wrong with using Windows Remote Desktop? If *nix, as explained in your several other threads swirling around this question, use a putty session to connect ... then, if needed for a GUI utility like dbca, runInstaller, etc, just set up an x-server on your local machine and enable x-11 port forwarding in your putty session.
You really are trying to make all of this much more difficult than it need be.
Hmm... so in Windows a remote seems the only solution, except the one RichardHarisson proposed if you already have a Database set up. For Unix I can promote the port forwarding method you recomended. Thank you.
Sorry I just finished my University and make my 1st internship on the Oracle DB Layer of Applications in Western Europe.
P.S.
There is no such a need but I would find it a personal good exercise in understanind these connections-administration issues under different OS to try create an API tool that creates DB on other PC of different OS once you chosen the OS of the Server.
+ I promess not to follow it with a flood of threads agains : P I already became better in finding what I need through docs, lol

I have lost Lightroom 5.6 due to a hard drive crash. The old hard drive has been replaced. How can I get LR5 back? I don't have a disc. I still have my LR4 disc and key. I have another adobe key, but don't know if it relates to LR5.

I have lost Lightroom 5 due to a crashed hard drive. I don't have a back up disc, and I dont think I have a key. I have a an adobe key recorded but don't know if it relates to LR5. I have an LR4 disc and key. LR5 is still intact and running on my laptop, but I need to use LR% on my desktop PC. I need an address to try a download so that I can try the key which might fit it. Any ideas how I can transfer the program (with key) from my laptop? Any other ideas?

Just download and install.
you can find by internet search for "download Lightroom", or click here:

Note: trial software is same as licensed software, once you license it.. (I hope you still have the license key).

Can we have a Hierarchy in the Prompt of webi? promot as key-text?

Hello all,
Can we have a Hierarchy in the Prompt of webi? We are using Fund Center hierarchy and the user wants to select the top node to get all the nodes under it in hierarchies?
Also along same lines can we display the Long text and Key ofthe FUnd center in prompt (hierarchy or not)
Thanks in advance for all the replies.

Hi david, Gowtham
Thanks for the replies. I was able to get a hierarchy in the prompt. I created mandatory hierarchy variable in the bex query which is feeding the universe and it automatically came over as hierarchy. I am still not able to get how would you create cascade on same object, I understand the market and region (2 different object) example. So if you can please explain.
With that said I still am not sure how you would display your prompt with description of objects rather than technical names. Any insight on that please?
Thanks a lot

I have purchased Lightroom 5 and had it installed but I had to replace my matchbook pro and now I can't find the activation key - is there a way I can get it emailed to me or how do I find it? Most other plugin's email out the activation key so you have a copy but I have seen no way to get it.

If you registered your Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can log into your Adobe account and get your serial number from your account.

Can we have more than one primary key constraint to a Oracle Table?

Hi,
Can we have more than one primary keys to a single table in oracle? ( Not the composite key)
Please somebody answer..
Regards,
Alaka

In principle a table can have multiple keys if you need them. It is a very strong convention that just one of those keys is designated to be "primary" but that's just a convention and it doesn't stop you implementing other keys as well.
Oracle provides two uniqueness constraints for creating keys: the PRIMARY KEY constraint and the UNIQUE constraint. The PRIMARY KEY constraint can only be used once per table whereas the UNIQUE constraint can be used multiple times. Other than that the PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints serve the same function (always assuming the column(s) they are applied to are NOT NULL).

Why does the backspace key now make the browser go back to the last page viewed, and how can I change that setting?

When typing in a browser page to reply to a blog, when I pressed the backspace key to correct a typo, suddenly the browser went back to the previous web page. How can this setting be changed or turned off?

This should never happen when the cursor is in an editing control, but it has always done that if the focus was on the page itself.
Here's how to change it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''backs''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.backspace_action''' preference and enter the desired value:
* 0 => back (default)
* 1 => page up
* 2 => ignore (actually, anything other than 0 or 1 does nothing)
OK to save the change. You're done.

HT1343 When I want to highlight a column what shortcut keys can I use in Excel:Mac 2011 to go to bottom of column

I have replaced Microsoft Office with Microsoft Office:MAC 2011.
What short ut keys can I use to select a column of data from a cell to the bottom of the column.
In Microsoft Office I used Shift+Ctrl+End

Have you checked on the Microsoft forums, or the excel help file?
On a Macbook Pro keyboard, fn+right arrow is End
I believe ctrl-right arrow is also End.
