Close Window Ctrl+Shift+W shortcut is causing me problems (due to fumbling fingers) Any way to disable it please

Often lose large forum posts (when I am composing them) when I mis-hit and get the control key first when wanting to type a capital w.
Would be nice if this particular shortcut could be disabled

Thanks a lot. I figured there would be a way but couldn't find anything relevant in my searches other than a reference to a feature that wasn't on my system, plus a Mozilla statement that shortcuts were NOT user configurable.
It will likely save my laptop from a grisly end when it happens once too often.

[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha Shortcuts don't work in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
Bug Synopsis: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW. Most notably, CTRL+SHIFT+Z, CTRL+SHIFT+E, and CTRL+SHIFT+S
Test setup: LV2012 32bit with f1 patch running in Win7 64bit inside a Parallels 8 VM in OS X 10.8.1
To summarize the testing I have tried:
Many different LabVIEW, Guest OS, and Host OS combinations all fail, including:
LV2012f1 32 and 64 bit, and LV2009 32 bit
Win7 32 and 64bit, and also WinXP x64
Parallels 7 and Parallels 8
OS X 10.7 and 10.8
Capturing the keyboard by the VM
Twiddling every keyboard setting possible on Parallels, Guest, and Host
Reinstalling keyboard drivers
Plugging in a known-good keyboard that works on a native Windows machine
Deleting LabVIEW.ini and letting it regenerate
Remapping the shortcuts from, e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+E to CTRL+E - in this case, "Show in Project" works, so this might indicate it's a problem registering the shortcut press, not invoking the action itself.
Sending the keystrokes via on-screen keyboards from both Guest and Host
Sending the keystrokes via SendInput from user32.dll WinAPI
Testing every imaginable combo of FN, CONTROL, ALT/OPTION, COMMAND/CMD, SHIFT
Reinstalling VMs from scratch and reinstalling LV
Here's a kicker: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts work fine on other Windows programs (I've tried 4 different programs, including Chrome, Notepad++, Paint.NET), yet it does NOT work for VIPM with CTRL+SHIFT+C. This means that the only two programs where the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha bugs exist are both LabVIEW-related.
Here's another kicker: It's only CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts with the prob - CTRL+SHIFT+3 properly toggles grid alignment, and the "Tools >> Options >> Menu shortcuts" will register any CTRL+SHIFT+Non-alpha shortcut; it just does not respond to the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts.
Any new troubleshooting ideas are highly appreciated; please feel free to jump in here or on LAVA.

Any news on that?

I suddenly encounter this error message from Fire Fox.
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
I uninstalled the browser and download a new version but it does not resolve the issue.
I know my hard disc has ample space. I do NOT know where to find the Profile directory to fix the read restriction box.

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list. It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
Let's see what we can find. I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

How to disable mac book sleep for when I close the lid. I have a monitor attached to the mac book and as soon as I close the lid on the mac book it goes toi sleep. Any way to disable the sleep mode? Thanks

Boss bought a new monitor for his mac book. We connected it but he rather keep the mac book lid closed in order to work on the bigger monitor screen. Soon as he closes the lid, the mac book goes to sleep mode.
Is there a free way to disable the sleep mode?

When the MacBook goes to sleep just hit a key on your external keyboard and the monitor will come back on.

Is there any way to disable the keyboard shortcuts so this isn't an issue?
Many Thanks,

This might go into too much detail but I suspect since you're referring to a basic system function you're going to have to address this at a pretty basic level in the system operations which isn't always easy without major hacks.

Windows Update force uninstalls old graphic drivers? Any way to disable?

I have an old AMD driver installed because the newer version breaks some functionality.
I went to run Windows Update and it showed an AMD driver available to install and gave me no way to decline it. Next thing I know the entire AMD Catalyst installation I had is removed!
Is this normal? Any way to disable the forced graphic driver updates?

Try the following:
Open "Devices and Printers" > right-click the computer > Device installation settings > choose "Never install driver software from Windows Update" > Save changes
The following article is for Windows 7 but should also apply to Windows 10:

Why am I unable to use Ctrl+Shift keyboard shortcuts in the Kotoeri input method on OS X 10.9?

For some reason I'm unable to switch from Hiragana to Katakana and vice versa using the Ctrl+Shift+K and Ctrl+Shift+H keyboard shortcuts when using the Kotoeri IME. The shortcuts appear in the IME menu in the menubar.
Have these shortcuts been changed in OS X Mavericks and the menu not updated, or does the menu not actively reflect the current keyboard shortcut settings? I'm using OS X 10.9.1 (if that helps at all).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the hint! I hadn't realized that Xcode 5.1.1 was so huge (2.18Gb) and assumed after an hour that the installation had frozen.

Ctrl-Shift Keyboard Shortcuts Broken

Hello
I switch layout with Ctrl+Shift. And have a little trouble. When i try:
Reopen recent tab in Chrome/Firefox (Ctrl+Shift+T)
Select previous tab in Chrome/Firefox (Ctrl+Shift+Tab)
I get just new tab in the first case, and select next tab in the second. This changes the layout. So, performs the action, as if the Shift key not pressed.
Looking for a solution I found that this is common problem. Not only for browsers... ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5592 … -linux-kde )
I found similar topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1352640 and read this --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg . But solution don't found.
Someone can help? I don't want change to Alt+Shift switch layout.
P.S. I using Awesome WM

May be it is too late, but this topic is at top of google...any way

in short, you must get sources of xserver by using abs, save there patch file from article, modify PKGBUILD to apply this patch.
Reason is, xserver switches keyboard "onkeypress" while it should do "onkeyrelease". This bug is mentioned in 2006 and not fixed since that because it will lead to change xserver's specs.
P.S. patch in article is for 1.12.xx, but it worked with 1.16.1 for me.

Ctrl Shift Left, Ctrl Shift Right shortcuts broken in GMail compose box

When composing a GMail message in Firefox, selecting a word at a time with ctrl-shift-left arrow or ctrl-shift-right arrow stopped working in the compose textarea. (The key combination does nothing now. Without the ctrl, shift-arrow still selects a letter at a time.)
This was broken a long time ago, then fixed somewhere in the last few months. Now in 3.6.12 it's broken again.
This works fine in Chrome 6,7 and 8, as well as IE.

You're welcome and thanks for posting the outcome of your 'hunt' for the culprit.

Our original iTunes account is on a computer with Windows Xp. My iPad will not sync to that computer. Is ther any way I can access that iTunes library of music on my iPad2?

My original iTunes account is on a computer operating a Windows Xp system. My iPad2 cannot access that music library. Is there any way the iTunes app on my iPad can access my iTunes music library without using that computer? I have tried downloading the iTunes 10.6 to the computer, but it won't complete the download.

You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

There is any way to disable the shortcut with scroll in my Macbook?

I have a generic usb mouse and when I click with the scroll bottom the dashboard appears. I would like to know if there is a way to disable that.
PS: sorry about my english, I don't have so much experience with the language.

Then check in the Keyboard applet, Keyboard Shortcuts. Somehow it may of been assigned to the middle mouse button from there. you can just click on Restore Defaults as I have used several different mice with my Mac and never had this problems and IIRC I have never modified any of those settings. So returning to Defaults may fix it.

(current) Safari + (current) Acrobat Reader + close window (ctrl+w)= CRASH!

Hey who else experiences this problem?
When I have open publication (pdf) in my browser and press CTRL+W (to close a browser-tab/window) my Safari crashes. All my parallel pdfs/tabs are gone too and I have to open them again. This can be very annoying when you selected several specific publications from a list of 100+ papers on a journal's search result page.
Is there a fix out there?
Best regards,
MT

Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please ck that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full.

This is an Alert when I open the browser. It isn't functioning at all. I've cleared ample space on my C drive, but I cannot find the application's profile directory to check the read/write restrictions.
