Command to open window behind window??

Is there one?
A quick combo to access the page you are viewing infront of, behind it, on your desktop?
Thanks.

If I understand your question, try using Command-tilde(~). This key combination switches between windows in an application. Analogously, Command-tab switches between applications.

Is there a command for opening next plug window?

I'm looking for a way to change the open plug in window without using the mouse. For example, so that I can switch between tuner and Guitar Amp Pro in a channel strip.

You could use screensets for that. To my knowledge there's no KC for what you want to do...

Running form window behind window of calling form

Hello,
i have one form which has a maximized window. This form is calling a form using call_form/no_hide which displayes a small window in front.
When the user clicks on the maximaled window, this window raised in front of the small window, but the running form is still the small window.
How can i prevent that the position of the small window is behind the maximized window?

Set the property "Modal" of the Window in the form to "Yes"

How to get default command to open a terminal window? (Bash or Python)

Desktop entry files (.desktop files) may indicate that an application requires a terminal window to run ("Terminal=true"), e.g. vim & maxima.
How does a .desktop launcher determine which terminal to use? E.g. when opening a file associated with vim, what points it to 'urxvtc -e %s' or 'gnome-terminal...' or whatever?
Is there a standard environment variable with the terminal command? $TERM only contains an identifying name but I don't see how to programmatically deduce the command from it. Grepping through the output of "set" doesn't show me anything useful either.
My search-fu has failed me. Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Clarified subject and post.

Maybe my search-fu can be of help here:
For KDE:
terminal=$(kreadconfig --file kdeglobals --group General \
--key TerminalApplication --default konsole)
For GNOME:
TERM_EXEC_KEY="/desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec"
TERM_EXEC_ARG_KEY="/desktop/gnome/applications/termina/exec_arg"
TERM_EXEC=$( gconftool-2 --get ${TERM_EXEC_KEY}) # e.g.
"gnome-terminal"
TERM_EXEC_ARG=$( gconftool-2 --get ${TERM_EXEC_ARG_KEY} ) # e.g. "-x"
terminal="$TERM_EXEC $TERM_EXEC_ARG"
For XFCE:
Xfce has a directory called "share/xfce4/helpers/" which contains desktop entry files for commonly used terminals, browsers and email apps. These entries contain extra keys like X-XFCE-Category=WebBrowser or X-XFCE-Category=TerminalEmulator .
Then there is a file called ".config/xfce4/helpers.rc" which in my case looks like:
WebBrowser=firefox
MailReader=thunderbird
From: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] … 01661.html
edit: there is also xdg-settings (in xdg-utils) which can store default-app information, but i'm not sure if all DE's make use of this..

Command to Open Folder in Windows

Process j = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/windows/explorer.exe");That will get windows explorer up, but how do I get to a certain folder location?

Java 1.6+..
import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.io.File;
class OpenJavaHome {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    File dir = new File(System.getProperty("java.home"));
    System.out.println(dir + " is directory: " + dir.isDirectory());
    Desktop.getDesktop().open(dir);
}

"new window" command always opens a new window that is smallest possible size, so I have to resize it - every time.

What's causing this?
Moreover, is this related? I can't see the downloads window. CMD-J isn't brining it up, nor will it appear via the menu.

Click the link to [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel?as=u#w_content-settings Advanced JavaScript Settings]
You need to uncheck the setting which enables sites to resize windows. This option is accessible in the submenu by clicking the "Advanced" button in the Javascript menu shown in the image.

Since switching to Firefox this week, when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in Outlook, I get this message, "General failure. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." It doesn't open a new window or do anything.

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Designing websites -- what code do I need to add to allow a pop behind window to open from one of my webpages? I have code, but Firefox is the only browser that won't pop behind. It pops on top instead. That's not what I want.

I have designed websites, and would like a pop under (new window) to be displayed BEHIND the current/open window. I have code that does this on all browsers except firefox. For some reason, Firefox insists on opening up the new window on top of the active browser window session. It covers the entire page. Reason is because I purposely have a new full-size window opening BEHIND the open browser. Is there some code I can add to my web page script that forces the new window to open up BEHIND the active/open browser, specific to firefox?

this is support forum, if you need help about developing please use developer irc channel
* irc://moznet/developer
if you dont have irc, use mibbit
maybe they can help you :)
Good luck!

Command click in Yosemite does not open a new window

Opening applcations and windows, open behind first application

Whenever i open an applicaton or new window in a browser, the application opens up behind another application. E.g. Itunes is open, i open firefox and it is stuck behind Itunes, i then have to drag Itunes to the other side of the screen to access Firefox. Is there any way to change this? It has only started happening out of the blue. Also, any drop down menus will not drop down and their options can only be selected once you click on it and navigate using the up/down etc arrow keys.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Try deleting the file User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Then restart.

I'm using FF for Mac 3.6.13 and everytime I open a new window or tab the image of what I see is tiny which requires me to click Command + to enlarge it. The actual page is normal size, but its the image of the page that opens tiny.

I'm using FF for Mac 3.6.13 and every time I open a new window or tab the image of what I see is tiny which then requires me to click Command + to enlarge it about 4 or 5 times. The actual page is normal size, but its the image (what I see) of the page that is tiny.

Thanks but Command 0 on a Mac only makes a temporary change to that one page. The link you provided doesn't show how to make a permanent change. Do you know how to permanently change this so I don't have to do it to every new page?
Thank you.

Command-T opens new window not new Tab with Snow Leopard

Does anyone else have this issue? Command-T opens new window not new Tab with SL.
And yes all my settings are correct!!

Greetings,
If your preferences for Tabs are correctly set (the top two checkboxes are checked) and it's still opening a new window, then it would seem your preferences may be corrupt. In that case, you should quit Safari, go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
Then restart Safari, setup your preferences again, and test to see if it works.

Opening apps/Safari windows-want them to open behind current window ?

Ok, maybe small beer, but, when I open a Safari window from, for eg, google reader, the new window opens in front of my current Safari window, the window I am reading. This means that it covers my current window, which is annoying, to me. Similarly, when I open an application, the new app insists on coming to the front, and interrupting my work. As I said, small beer, but annoying.
Is there a way to make all new Safari windows and new apps start 'behind' the currently active window/app?

No. Why are you opening new windows when you don't want to act in them? Don't open them and you won't be disturbed.
