Changing screens with cmd-tab not working

To change screens (different programs) I often use cmd-tab.
But it doesn't work all the time. Very often when I use cmd-tab,
nothing happens. What can I do? Please help.

Verify that application hasn't got another command for that shortcut. Most should not, but every once in awhile, an application might choose to have a shortcut it shouldn't.

  • U150 keyboard malfunction after changing screen, = repeating, few numbers not working

    Hi!
    I changed my cracked U150 screen on my own (warranty is passed).  I thought it worked fine on test boot before attaching the bezel.  I aborted the test boot (as the instruction video said to do), and put on the bezel with some difficulty (it's a tight fit on the bottom of the screen around the hinges).
    The next boot up failed, which I've never seen before. Got a bit worried, as it wanted me to try recovering to a set point (several weeks prior).  Opted to just turn off and back on, and it seemed to work...EXCEPT now a few keys on the keyboard malfunction.  Esc, `, 5, 6, 0, ) and Delete all type their character and then immediately type an = which repeats.  The actual = button does nothing: types nothing.  In caps, the keys do the same thing, but of course type a + which repeats.  F5 also does it, and I'm not sure about other F keys because I don't want to do some function that will shut down my typing right now! 
    U15============ 0========= )+===========  When I press any other key, the repeating equals stops, of course...
    When I boot up, the computer beeps repeatedly as if a key is repeating in error, so something in startup must use one of those keys and causes the same issue: since I don't actually press any key on bootup, does that indicate it's more of a software problem than a hardware problem?
    I've taken off the screen bezel again (a real pain and not a good repeated activity because I typically break one tiny plastic clip each time no matter how careful I am) and no change. I see no keyboard cable anywhere near the screen or cover or hinges-just WLAN cables and the camera. I did not spill anything on the keyboard and it worked totally fine until I replaced the screen. Online info about Lenovo S or Y series seems to show the keyboard cable down low, so again, not near the screen.  The screen website (laptopscreen.com) folks had nothing to say that helped. My search online shows nobody with a similar experience. 
    There is no Lenovo keyboard driver on the Lenovo site, so I don't see that uninstalling and reinstalling the driver would make a difference: besides, how do I reinstall a keyboard driver if I can't use the keyboard once I've uninstalled it?  Is the mousepad enough to reinstall?
    So, I would be ever ever so grateful for any help/ideas. What's my next step: taking out the keyboard to see if the cable loosened, even though I went nowhere near the cable??
    Thanks!!

    So it's been a while, but these things can drag out in life...now my brain is starting to adapt to the change, and that's annoying, so I'm back at trying to fix this.
    I tried safe mode, and the problem persists.  I tried returning all my startup options to default, and it persists.  I previously had returned to a Restore Point before the problem, and that didn't fix it. 
    Today I was going to look at the keyboard cable, but getting the top off is proving to be difficult and since I can use the machine as is, even if annoying, I don't want to go there yet.  Besides, there is no reason for this to be a hardware issue:
    I aborted a bootup by pressing and holding the power button.
    Next bootup failed, and the machine asked me to restore to a previous Restore Point.
    I turned off the machine again instead of restoring, and ever since then I've had the keyboard problem. 
    I tried uninstalling the keyboard and restarting computer so the driver reinstalls, and that didn't fix it.
    I plugged in an external keyboard and that worked fine.
    I am now wondering about using Linux to get at the problem.
    Any ideas?  I totally appreciate how active you are on this forum, and all the folks you've given advice to.  You are making computers work for people: thanks!!

  • Single task flow with multiple tabs not working properly in UIShell

    Hi,
    I am using the UIShell Dynamic tabs concept. Here am creating the task flow with a fragment which am binding to the backing bean. if am trying to open the same task flow in two tabs.the getter of backing bean are calling for both tabs when am opening the second tab.
    Please provide me any solution or why backing bean getter is firing for the first tab even i opened the second tab.
    Reg,

    There are a few problems that I have noticed so far.
    Line #1 <!doctype html5> is not recognised, hence the page will revert back to HTML 4.01 Transitoinal. It should read <!doctype html>
    Line #51 (links to) style rules should be placed in the <head> element, not in the <body> element
    Lines #124, #159 and #188 all link to the same JS file. Delete two of them.
    Lines #126, #161 and #207 contain a constructor for the same widget. The former two should be deleted.
    Lines #190 and #208 contain a constructor for the same widget. The former should be deleted
    Although JS can be placed anywhere in a document, I tend to place all JS at the bottom, just above the ending body tag (</body>) unless the JS is required for rendering purposes in which case it should be placed where it is required. This way, you can keep check of what you have linked to and which constructors you have created thus eliminating the problems mentioned above.
    Also you might like to have a look at a collapsible panel group http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/collapsiblepanel/CollapsiblePanelGroupSamp le.html. This will simplify the code somewhat.

  • Tabbed selection screen with AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON events does not work

    I have a selection screen with 3 tabs fields on each tab have AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON field events.  
    If you are on tab 1 and select a variant that populates fields on all tabs and then click the execute button ABAP does not seem to recognize that the field has changed when it executes AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON field event unless you physically go to each tab.
    I can work around this by:
    1) moving all of the AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON field events in a AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event.  This is not efficient and it potentially opens me up to other problems.
    2) changing the selection screen to remove the tabs and have all of the fields on 1 screen.  This makes for a very long screen.
    Is there any way to have ABAP check all tabs?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    I finally got it to start.   Let it sit and tried and it wouldn't but then I tried again and it did.  How do I blow the dust out?   I think it must be something with the heat since that comes up alot. 
    I will do it, I love my Mac.

  • When I open a new program in mountain lion it is not visible in the dock, nor can I select it with cmd-tab.

    Any ideas? I'm on a MacBook Air.

    I have the same problem as m.proudfoot. Defintiely a bug with the Dock. In addition, when I minimized applications, despite having the preference to minimize windows into the application icon, they would also start minimizing as windows to the right of the dock. I was able to fix it temporarily by restarting the dock. Go to the Terminal Application (in Utilities) and type the following: killall -KILL Dock
    That will restart the dock and for me it worked, where all of a sudden three running applications appeared and the CMD + TAB starting working again. Give it a try to see if it helps at least until there is a 10.8.1.
    As for what causes it, that I haven't figured out yet, but I have had it occur on 2 different machines, a MacMini and MacBook, both with Mountain Lion. So sure seems like a bug.

  • MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICK ON TAB

    MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICKING ON TAB

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

  • IE 11 - Open in new Tab Not Working

    When I click on a link that should open in a new tab (or right-click and select Open in new Tab), IE11 Opens a new tab but the screen is blank, the URL is about:blank and the tab title is 'Blank Page'.
    Windows 8.1 x64
    Internet Explorer 11 (Desktop)
    The 'Metro' version of IE 11 still works fine, it's just the Desktop version which is broken.
    I've tried all the fixes listed in the similar thread, but none have helped.
    IE 11 TABS NOT WORKING
    IE 11 opens blank tab

    Thanks, I ran a Command Prompt (Admin) and ran the following scripts:
    ie8-rereg.32on64.cmd
    ie8-rereg.64on64.cmd
    Both seemed to execute correctly, but haven't made a difference.
    Unfortunately they have never been a complete repair and now, due to security/obscurity have been made even less effective.  There was an example in here a while ago in which the poster helped me see that exploiting the original manifests might have
    been a better tack for a repair.  IIRC they uncovered some registry corruption which seemed related to mshtmled.dll but which was not repaired by registering that module and was damage which was only hinted at by looking at the manifest. 
    The poster's repair was found by comparing registries from otherwise identical systems...
    OMG look what this recollection has dredged up:  <lol/>

    Interestingly, I came across another oddity which might indicate the behaviour is some sort of change to the IE security settings. On a site I frequent http://www.makegamessa.com/ none of the links work.
    They've all previously worked and they still work in other browsers, just not my IE. If you click a link it is supposed to open the page in the current window (i.e. not opening a new tab), but nothing happens. However, if I have the F12 developer tools open,
    then the links all work as expected OR if I add the site to Trusted Sites the links also work.
    That sounds like Active Scripting is inhibited.  Scripting would be disabled in a Restricted security zone or in an Internet zone which was set to High level.  Scripting would be enabled in a Trusted security zone.  Scripting would be required
    in order to use IE11 Developer Tools since that is its implementation.  It hadn't occurred to me that that might provide an override for Scripting which had been otherwise inhibited.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working

    Hi,
    I have a statement:
    FIND '/' IN <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn MATCH OFFSET off2.
    this works in all the case except for when <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn = SSULTANA-VMC/.
    (i.e. when /bic/zbib_sysn = USERID-VMC/, here SSULTANA is the user ID)
    *In this case off2 = .
    Value of sy-subrc is 0 after this statement is executed
    Can some one please point out what I am doing wrong.
    Thank you,
    CD
    Edited by: CSD . on Sep 26, 2008 9:53 PM

    >FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working  
    Most unlikely.  More likely is that it isn't doing what you think it should be doing.  Or you're using it incorrectly!
    I can't really follow what your problem is.  I assume you mean that you are getting off2 with value 0, when /bic/zbib_sysn contains USERID-VMC/
    Can you be a little clearer in what the issue is?
    DATA: off2 TYPE i.
    FIND '/' IN 'this string /' MATCH OFFSET off2.
    WRITE: / sy-subrc, off2.
    This little program returns 0 and 12

  • Selection screen with Muliple tabs

    Morning All
    I have a selection screen with 3 tabs depicting 3 separate selection screens in effect.  There are certain fields (parameters and select options) that I would like to keep synchronized between the 3 screens.  Is there a neat way of doing this?
    Cheers
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
      I don't quite understand as to what "synchronisation" means here.
      Though anything you would want to do on a Selection Screen, can be handled in the event
         <b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.</b>
      This event acts like PBO for the selection screen.
      For example, if you have parameter, P1 on Tab 1 and parameter P2 on Tab2, then to equate (assuming that it is "synchronisation"), you could code.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
       P2 = P1.
      Enter the value "10" in P1 on Tab1, click Tab2, P2 will display "10".
      You could control this using conditions on flag variables.
      Hope this helps.
      Best Regards,
      Sanyam
