Change/disable mouse-over selection on app switcher menu (apple-tab menu)

Does anyone know of a way to disable the mouse-over selecting an application on the apple-tab menu (app switcher)? This is so frustrating when you are trying to do a lot of copy and paste between apps and the mouse keeps "re-selecting" the application you are trying to choose.

Hello,
Thank you so much for replying so quickly and moreover, solving my problem. I must apologise for not doing more research about this issue by searching these forums more thoroughly. I found a similar post here:-

Your solution goes one step further and eliminates the need to search through the Javascript for the relevant code.
Thank you again, you've helped me a great deal.

  • How do you SELECT ALL on a page (used to CTRL L-CLICK in margin then mouse over selection)?

    In Pages 4x you could hold CTRL+LEFTMOUSE while in the margin area then select multiple things on that page you were looking by mousing over them (including selecting all).  Now you have to go one item at a time to delete? Is there a work-around?

    No, it does not. You are still incorrect.
    ctrl + click does NOT select anything.
    It checks all boxes when you ctrl click on one box.
    If you want to select a bunch of consecutive songs...
    Select one then Shift click another, This will select all items from the first selection to the last selection.
    This is just plain nutty and is normally achieved on Windows 7 using ctrl+a,
    No it doesn't
    ctrl + a selects all.
    You are not selecting anything when you check all boxes. You are sinmply checking all boxes.

  • How do I change the mouse-over value format on the secondary axis?

    Can anyone tell me how I can change the number format for the mouse-over values on the secondary axis of a combination chart?  Right now they take on the format of the primary axis values.  In my case, I need the primary to reflect a general number with three decimals, and the secondary to reflect currency. 
    Many thanks,
    Devin

    Agreed. The option I've used before is to name the axes "Revenue ($)" and "Gross Margin (%)" (or whatever) and that makes the numbers a little more readable.

  • Cannot not click on menu that appears when i right click my taskbar, as the right click menu dissapears when i move mouse over to the right click menu

    PROBLEM: RIGHT CLICK CONTEXT MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN TRYING TO LEFT CLICK AN OPTION
    Hi,
    Im using Windows 7, and i could always
    go down to my TaskBar and Right Click
    Icons, and active icons, which would bring up
    the standard Right Click Menu list.
    PROBLEM
    As soon as i moved my Mouse away from
    the bottom Window 7 Task Bar to go a couple
    of millimeters above to left click an option on
    the Context Menu i opened with my right click,
    The whole Menu disappears, and this happens in
    Firefox version 29.01, other programs in Firefox,
    and other such as Skype.
    When i was running Firefox 28
    i didn't have this problem, can you help me out.
    Thank You

  • How do I change the age restriction on downloading apps on my apple I'd?

    I am trying to change the age restriction on downloading apps but I do not know where to find this setting. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Aaron Lytle, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you were setting up Family Sharing, but did not get to  enter the correct birth date for your child's Apple ID. As mentioned below, a child's birth date cannot be changed once entered, and you'll need to create a new account with the correct birthday.

    Enter your child's birthday and click Next. The birthday for a child's account can't be changed after the account is created.

  • Is there any way to disable the mouse-over function of the Spry Menu Bar (CS5)? Click-open preferred

    Hello,
    I'm using the standard CS5 Spry Menu Bar (Horizontal) in Dreamweaver. I have it set up exactly the way I want with CSS. However, I've very little experience with Javascript, consequently I'd like to ask anyone here for some help in modifying this aspect of the Spry Menu Bar. I'd like it to 'click-open' and not open when the mouse is over it. I've tried to change the delay variables in the code to something that has a longer duration in milliseconds; unfortunately, this tends to cause some bugs such as the menu re-opening once the mouse is no longer near it and other such bugs.
    The ideal solution for me would be to have it open when it's clicked on once. The reason I need this is because the menu appears over some buttons - there's no way around this for me, it's the layout I absolutely must have. Although the buttons don't overlap with the menu, they are very close and it is annoying when your hand slips a little and the menu pops up over it all.
    I'd appreciate any help at all, thank you.
    PS:- The Javascript containing the delay variables I tried to modify.
    Spry.Widget.MenuBar.prototype.init = function(element, opts)
        this.element = this.getElement(element);
        // represents the current (sub)menu we are operating on
        this.currMenu = null;
        this.showDelay = 250;
        this.hideDelay = 600;
        if(typeof document.getElementById == 'undefined' || (navigator.vendor == 'Apple Computer, Inc.' && typeof window.XMLHttpRequest == 'undefined') || (Spry.is.ie && typeof document.uniqueID == 'undefined'))
            // bail on older unsupported browsers
            return;
        // Fix IE6 CSS images flicker
        if (Spry.is.ie && Spry.is.version < 7){
            try {
                document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
            } catch(err) {}

  • How do i disable mouse button 4 and 5 to open new tabs or windows?

    Okay so I got myself a new mouse, its a logitech G700s mouse but I don't think that matters anyway.
    The problem is that the extra buttons on the mouse (small buttons on the side) i have are assigned as "mouse button 4" and "mouse button 5". Now to a standart mac system these buttons are assigned to open a new window or a new tab in safari but when I customly set these buttons to something else it does both of those things. For example i sat the mouse button 5 to mission control (show all windows) but now if I am using safari it also opens something in a new page if I am holding the cursor on a link.
    I just want to know how I can remove that function. To make the mouse button 5 and 4 do nothing.
    The system I use to customise the mouse buttons are a separate program. I need to know how to disable this new page function in the mac software.

    Hi,
    I think, there is no direct solution.
    There is a workaround.
    1. Disable mouse over Test.
    2. Enable drildown on mouse over and use that index to identify column which user selected.
    3. Display Material Description and Value using label components.
    But the issue is ,we have to identify a placeholder in graph to display these values.

  • How to define mouse-over event for a icon

    Hello,
    I have defined a icon for a panel in my plugin. I want that the icon should be changed on mouse over event.
    The code for icon is given below.
    resource PanelList (kDNDListsPaletteResourceID) {
                        // 1st panel in the list
                        kDNDListsPaletteResourceID,                    // Resource ID for this panel (use SDK default rsrc ID)
                        kIBPluginPluginID,                                             // ID of plug-in that owns this panel
              #if CSVER >= 4
                        kIsResizable,
              #else
                        isResizable,
              #endif
                        kIBClientPluginDNDPanelWidgetActionID,          // Action ID to show/hide the panel
                        kIBClientPluginDNDPanelTitleKey,               // Shows up in the Window list.
                        "",                                                           // Alternate menu path of the form "Main:Foo" if you want your palette menu item in a second place
                        0.0,                                                                                     // Alternate Menu position Alternate Menu position for determining menu order
                        kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID, kIBPluginPluginID,                                                            // Rsrc ID, Plugin ID for a PNG icon resource to use for this palette
                        c_Panel
    Where should I give the resourceID of the other icon?

    Hi
    First change the name from kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID to kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID
    so "I" will indicate that your icon is inactive
    Create another resource id like:
    #define kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID 15
    #define kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID 15
    Define paths to the icons
    resource PNGA(kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_I.png" // Inactive icon
    resource PNGR(kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_A.png" // Active icon

  • App Switcher assigned to a gesture?

    With Snow Leopard I was able to call up my App Switcher with the swipe to the right gesture and quickly quit all or some apps by pressing Q and hovering over the application.  Is there a way to put this gesture back in OSX Lion?  I have looked everywhere but can't seem to get it reassiged to the app switcher.  I understand that I can still call up the App Switcher with command+tab but it is still not as functional as the swipe. 
    Thanks for the help!

    there is no gesture in lion.

  • Turn off multitasking / app switcher?

    Does anyone know of a way to simply turn off the app switching feature? I know that Apple went to great lengths to get this feature in iOS4, but it's something that I never missed, and it causes more problems for me than it solves. I'd like to disable it altogether, if possible.
    This is a feature that a lot of people don't want. My wife just wants to use her phone, and she's not someone who really wants to consider her memory usage. Most of the time when she is experiencing computer trouble, it's because she has 20 apps open on her MacBook Pro. So you can only imagine what her app switcher menu looks like.
    If this it's not possible to turn off this feature, consider this a dot release request, Apple!
    Thanks.
    BTW, I love the new iPhone, and I think everyone should lay off.

    No option to turn off.
    Also note, items in app switcher 95% of the time are not running and the OS should clean out older apps from it when it needs memory.
    So perhaps with next update they just work on it more so it manages memory better if you are seeing issues do to apps in memory that are not processing.
    If you wish to suggest anything to Apple directly, the feedback page is used for that instead of the user to user forum.

  • Running Apps not showing up in app-switcher with Lion

    One peculiar issue I am running in to is that, as the iMac is running for awhile, some of the running apps suddenly no longer appear in the app switcher window (command-tab). they are clearly running, but cannot be switched to. this is very frustrating. Even quitting these apps and re-launching them will not make them re-appear in the switcher.
    The only thing that cures this issue (temporarily) is to log out / log back in or reboot the iMac.
    Anyone else run in to this, is there a solution to this problem?

    Temporary fix that I found online, WITHOUT restarting is to type
    killall -KILL Dock
    in the Terminal

  • The "text in a yellow box" that appears when I hover the mouse over a selection or help tag.

    The "help tag" (Or in most cases the unwanted tag)  often is in the way of what I want to look at.
    This is especially true when you are looking at an item that has it's own pop up giving you a description or information.
    When you hold the mouse over say.... a movie icon in XFinity, the icon of the movie expands and gives a brief synopsis, date and actors of said movie. 
    Unfortunately, I cannot read the synopsis for the "Help Tag" blocks all the content forcing you to try different ways of pointing to the movie icon so you can read parts of the discretion from every angle of approach then piece it altogether in your mind.
    I DO NOT want "help tag".  It is extremely annoying and time consuming ergo it des not "help" it hinders.
    Can it not be disabled (Like balloon help in OS 9) so you do not have to feel anger and frustration every time you see that yellow tag?

    Ooo, I did not notice the article was from 2007.  Thansk for pointing that out.  I don't think I am going to try it.  It seems that with all the "little" apps the seem to keep growing in numbers, someone will come up with a solid program that would wok through system prefs.  I would pay the normal $20.00 for an app like that.
