Changing the application switcher shortcut

Hi,
Can anyone help me find where or how to change the application switcher shortcut (command-tab).
I'm using illustrator and I'm used to switching between my selection tools using command-tab. But now with OSX Leopard, every time I do that, it just switches applications.
I've tried mac help and also have searched these forums but haven't found a similar request.
Thanks.

I've been looking everywhere for a way to change this, or at least disable the shortcut. I have the same problem, but with QuarkXPress. I know that the command originates from the Dock, so I bet there's a way to hack the Dock so it disbles the shortcut...

How do I script the Application Switcher?

I would like to write a script that brings up the application switcher, to allow its use without having to use the actual "command-tab" keyboard shortcut. This seems like a very simple thing, but I haven't been able to find any solution.
I initially thought that I might be able to access the application switcher directly through the Finder or System Events libraries, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Then I turned to just having applescript execute the keyboard shortcut directly. While I can do a "keystroke tab using command down", what I want is to bring the app switcher menu up and leave it. Using a keyboard, I would hit control-tab, then continue to hold command (during which time I can do things like use the arrow keys). So I thought I would have my script simulate this behavior. Unfortunately I gather that modifier keys can only be modifiers for other keys, not held alone (with a "key down command" line). Is this correct?
Any other ideas? Ideally I want one script to bring up the app switcher (or do command-tab, with command left held) and another script to dismiss the switcher, choosing the app selected (or releasing the command key).

While the System Events script presented here, which you've tried, and a variation of which I've used in the past, might seem worthwhile, it is actually fraught with at least two potentially dangerous gotchas.
Problem one: Your Command key will be tied up for the duration of the script, as determined by the specified delay time, even if you dismiss the Application Switcher palette early by clicking off it. That means no use of your keyboard or mouse for the full 10 seconds (or however many seconds you specify) without the Command key acting as a modifier for whatever action you might want to take, in whatever application you're in. For example, clicking on a docked application icon during this 10-second delay will not switch to that application as you might expect, but will instead reveal its location in the Finder -- normal behavior when a docked icon is otherwise intentionally Command-clicked. Attempting to kill the script early by pressing ⌘. will only make things worse.
Problem two: Attempting to kill the script early by pressing ⌘. might not allow the script to reach the *key up* command, which is critical. If you don't allow the script to reach the *key up* command, your Mac will remain in a state where your Command key is virtually kept held down, rendering your keyboard useless, and producing the kind of mouse weirdness described above, +even after exiting the script.+ Logging out and back in to your account does cure this condition, however. Fortunately, should this unpleasant situation arise, you can avoid the need to log out by keeping a ready-made script +saved as an application+ available in your Script menu and running it if needed:
*tell application "System Events"*
*key up command*
*end tell*
Just my 2¢... Good luck.

How to change the application alias for a web project in NW7.2

Hi,
a simple question, but I could not manage to solve it: How do I change the application alias (the url) of a web project? I'm using Netweaver 7.2 and all the tutorials I found refer to earlier versions and do not work anymore.
In particular, I would like to change e.g. "server.com/vendor~webbappname" (the standard url of the web project) to "server.com/mywebapp".
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Try customizing the <context-root> element in the web.xml deployment descriptor, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
          http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd"
           version="5">
           <display-name>YourWebApp</display-name>
           <module>
               <web>
               <web-uri>YourWebApp.war</web-uri>
               <context-root>mywebapp</context-root>
          </web>
     </module>
     <module>
          <ejb>YourWebAppEjb.jar</ejb>
     </module>
</application>
Afterwards, rebuild and redeploy your application.
I hope that helps.

Hi ,Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "1001804".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I have an issue here. As per the requirements I need to change the application title in Apex while

This change has to be done Dynamically. Without Entering it Manually.Also clarify what you mean by "instance". An "APEX instance" refers to the APEX installation in a database. The "APEX instance" does not have a specific name property, and would therefore usually be referred to using the database name. Or do you mean the APEX workspace containing the application?

Regarding changing the application settings for Financial management (BPM)

Hi,
I have built the sample Comma application in HFM 9.3.1 using the BPM functionality from workspace as outlined in the documentation. The consolidation rules are set to "N" for this application when I open the XML using the window client. Can anyone tell me how I can change this to "Y" through workspace and load the application again. Since its a BPM application it does not allow me to load from window client. How to modify the application properties of a Financial manegement application through workspace (BPM). Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance......

If you extract your application from the web using the extract tasks, check on the Financial Management Application format, this should provide you with a file with an app extension something like this:
hfmmetada.app
When you hit extract and then click on 1 Click here to download, then save, on the save as file type button, make sure is .app; then open your app file with a text editor, change the application settings for ConsolidationRules=N to Y.

I have MSFT Excel and Subethaedit installed...
I want Subethaedit to open all "*.spad" files
I go to "Get Info" then go to "Open with:" then choose Subethaedit
Then I press "Change All...", a dialog pops up and asks if I want to apply the change to all documents of the form "*.spad", and I answer "continue" and then...
It ignores me; it drops Subethaedit from the list of apps to "Open with" and doesn't change the default format.
How do I force the type to change to the app I want? Is there a text-file I can munge somewhere?

Hi, thechao. Welcome to the Discussions.
It's possible your launch services database is corrupted. See my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ. Then try the procedure you defined earlier, which is also described in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document."
Good luck!

Hi Goofy Goat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

Change the application builder's language

Hello,
If you look in the Oracle® Database Application Express Installation Guide, paragraph 4.7 :
The Oracle Application Express interface is translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. A single instance of Oracle Application Express can be installed with one or more of these translated versions. At runtime, each user's Web browser language settings determine the specific language version.
The translated version of Oracle Application Express should be loaded into a database that has a character set that supports the specific language. If you attempt to install a translated version of Oracle Application Express into a database that does not support the character encoding of the language, the installation may fail or the translated Oracle Application Express instance may appear corrupt when run. The database character set AL32UTF8 supports all the translated versions of Oracle Application Express.
In the rest of the doc there is a description how to install other languages...
