Curious question about tab key selecting?

I'm not sure how to word this query so try to bare with me.
I sometimes use the tab key to select the next file or folder instead of the arrow keys, but I've noticed that when I have a series of folders and/or files that are in numerical order, the tab key doesn't select the files and folders in the order that they are listed it selects them in a order that is similar to alphabetical order.
Such as this:
This is an example of the file names and the numerical order they're listed in:
9
28
29
30
40
300
2006
2025
A
This is the order the tab selects the same files:
2006
2025
28
29
30
300
40
9
A
If the 9 file is selected then I hit tab key to select the next file, the next files selected is A it will skip over the other files. The arrow Keys don't do this.
My question is why is this the case?
Not really a big deal but I was curious why it does that.

You are correct for the use you've described - using tab in list view, also in icon view. The tab key moves in alpha-numeric sequence but the numeric is by 1st numeral, 2nd numeral, etc if two or more have the same first numeral not by total number size.
The arrow keys are essentially directional. In icon view you use L/R to move to the next item and up/down to move vertically.
This is the standard use but individual applications use these keys differently. In a table/database it's common for the tab to move from cell to cell and the arrow keys to move through the characters in a cell but even these can depend on the particular software package.
This is all part of the learning curve for computer users!

  • About TAB key

    Hi, i hope you can help me a little....!!!
    Thank's anyway =)
    Look, in a page when I have some textbox, i can go thougth then with TAB key. If i want to return i have to press Shift key with TAB key...
    My question is: Is there some instrucction to mark the text in a control when it is selected ??? or all this is automatic, i mean, the selection of text in a control is select automatly when the control has the focus????...
    Thanks!!!....
    I'm wait four your answer!!!
    Have a nice day!!!
    NOTE: AS YOU CAN SEE, MY ENGLISH IS NOT VERY WELL, BUT I TRAY TO EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM.... THANK'S AGAIN.... =)

    Read the section from the Swing tutorial on "Writing Event Listeners":
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/index.html
    The following code is an example of a Focus Listener that will select all the text in the text field when you tab to a field or use the mouse to click on it:
    import java.util.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    import javax.swing.plaf.basic.*;
    import javax.swing.plaf.*;
    public class TextFieldTest extends JFrame
        public TextFieldTest()
              FocusAdapter focusAdapter = new FocusAdapter()
                   public void focusGained(FocusEvent e)
                        JTextComponent component = (JTextComponent)e.getSource();
                        component.selectAll();
              JTextField textField1 = new JTextField( "one two three four five" );
              textField1.addFocusListener( focusAdapter );
              getContentPane().add( textField1, BorderLayout.NORTH );
              JTextField textField2 = new JTextField( "abcdefg" );
              textField2.setMargin( new Insets( 5, 5, 5, 5 ) );

  • Tab key selects cell for edit in JTable

    Hello,
    I've seen extensive posts on this forum for this problem, but no solution yet.
    I have a Jtable, with custom cellRenders and cellEditors. Some columns are editable, some are not.
    What I want to do, is when someone tabs to an editable cell, that cell immediately goes into edit mode. This means, it acts as if someone double clicked on it, or tabbed then clicked on it. Basically, I want it to ACTUALLY go into edit mode.
    Please do not respond by telling me how to make it look editable (highlighting, etc) and do not respond with mouseEvent solutions. Please do not respond by telling me to do table.editCellAt(row,col) because that does not kick in my custom editor, it uses the defaultCellEditor.
    So basic question:
    How to kick in editing when someone tabs to an editable cell?
    If you need code examples, please request and I will post.

    nmstaat,
    In JTable:
    Look into the processKeyBinding method. It takes a keyevent and matchs it with an InputMap, and the InputMap invokes an Action in the corresponding ActionMap.
    You will have to call yourJTable.getActionMap(), then alter the action that corresponds to the 'tab' key.
    For Further information, check the JTable API, its all there.
    Good Luck,
    Alex

  • Question about hot key to jump between fields in oracle form

    say I have bunch of orders to upload,
    at the order number field I type in the number
    and move the mouse to click on next line to type another number
    how can I use some hot key to replace the mouse movement.
    I know if use tab key several times you can come to the next line eventually, but is there any better hot key just move to the next line?
    my purpose is to automatically upload bunch of orders, and bypass the mouse move, if there is some similar case study material, I really appreciate.
    thank you

    There is one built-in to move to the next record programatically. Like...
    NEXT_RECORD;It is a restricted procedure check the forms help.
    In your case can use on KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger.
    or if you are uploading from any file or any other source then also you can use this built-in in your code while uploading.
    Check the below documentation. Select on your version.

  • Some basic questions about foriegn key , and relationships.

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    I read some documents about foreugn key and tables relation ships.
    but i still can not understnad some stuff.
    1-when we have a foreign key , we have two tables that we want to relate them together
    in a way that one of ? table columns forced to be a value from ?? table column.
    what is name of those two tables , i saw , child-parent , ..... which confuse me.
    can some one please tell me correct name of those two tables ?
    2-some times we need some kind of master details relation like :
    one-to-many : i this case MANY table will have a column to point a record in ONE table , can this relation be a foreign key relation ?
    3-we can achieve many-to-many relation only by using a helper table to host both tables primary keys in a record to relate them together.
    can you point me to some resources that help me to find answers to this questions ?
    or explain them to me ?
    thank you for your time.

    These are critical database basics that you need to understand. I would seriously recommend getting some study in, because proper relational database design relies on the basic principle of data and relationships and a process called normalization.
    In reality, you only really need one gigantic table to host data. It would include everything you would want to know about something - let's take a sales order for example. You would have to record the customer's name, address, etc. along with every item they ordered, etc. You would have a HUGE table full of data that appeared over and over and over again. This is bad design for two basic reasons: it is difficult to query, and it is very easy to have minor mistakes like capitalization or alternate spellings that prevent things from matching up properly. For example, let's say Bob orders 40 widgets and 40 digits. In our hypothetical table, we could put it in as Bob - 40 widgets and Robert - 40 digits. See how confusing this can get even in a simple example? And let's say you wanted to correct all of Robert's orders to say Bob and you found out there were 40 orders from "Robert" How would you know which ones to change?
    The process of normalization helps to reduce the chance for these types of errors in addition to creating a good basis for indexes. You normalize the data by creating sets of parent/child tables with a "key" value to match them. In our hypothetical situation, you could create a table for orders and a table for customers. In the customers table you give all the detail for the customer in one place, and you assign each customer a unique number or ID. In the orders table we add the customer ID (NOT the name) and we ensure that we are getting the customer we want, in addition to saving a lot of space and eliminating redundancy. In our example, the customers table is the "parent" table and the orders table is the "child" table. The child table references the unique entries in the parent table via that id. That reference is referred to as a foreign key. The foreign key in the child table points back to the original and complete record in the parent table and eliminates the redundancy of keeping all that extra data for every order. Foreign keys in child tables always refer to a primary/unique key in the parent field.
    That help?

  • A question about foreign key to multiple tables

    Hello everybody,
    I have a question about creating foreign key and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. Here are my tables:
    CREATE TABLE TEAM1(team_id VARCHAR2(20), project_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM1 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM1 PRIMARY KEY(team_id);
    CREATE TABLE TEAM2(team_id VARCHAR2(20), project_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM2 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM2 PRIMARY KEY(team_id);although the structure of both the tables is exactly the same, the values (in particular team_id) in both tables are different.
    Also I have another table named AGENT
    CREATE TABLE AGENT(agent_id VARCHAR2(20), team_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT PK_AGENT PRIMARY KEY(agent_id)Now the problem is that the column team_id in AGENT table is actually a foreign key, but the value can be in either TEAM1 or TEAM2. As far as I know a foreign key points only to one table.
    How can I deal with this problem? Whenever there is an INSERT or UPDATE I have to make sure that the value of the column "team_id" in the table "AGENT" is a valid value either in "TEAM1" or "TEAM2"
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    Dariyoosh

    Do you have the ability to change the data model? If so a more appropriate structure may be something like this:
    CREATE TABLE TEAM(team_id VARCHAR2(20), team_name VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM PRIMARY KEY(team_id);
    ALTER TABLE TEAM ADD CONSTRAINT UK_TEAM UNIQUE (team_name);
    CREATE TABLE TEAM_PROJECT(team_id VARCHAR2(20), project_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM_PROJECT PRIMARY KEY(team_id, project_id);
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT FK_TEAM_PROJECT1 FOREIGN KEY (team_id) REFERENCES TEAM(team_id);
    CREATE TABLE AGENT(agent_id VARCHAR2(20), team_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT PK_AGENT PRIMARY KEY(agent_id);
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT FK_TEAM FOREIGN KEY (team_id) REFERENCES TEAM(team_id);Edited by: Centinul on Jun 25, 2010 10:50 AM

  • Question re Tab Key short cut in Lightroom 4

    When pressing the tab key this switches the screen from grid view to loupe view, continued pressing zooms the image in and out. How do I get the tab key to hide and unhide the side panels as it is supposed to.

    I now have to reveal my complete embarrassment, as soon as you said space bar I realised that for 12 hours I had been pressing the space bar instead of the tab key, I hang my head in shame but thank you for helping me to see the light and thereby resolving this for me.

  • Question about the key of loops

    I am reading the logic getting started book
    and they say there are two type of loops
    audio files and software instruments.
    in the book it says:
    "the advantage of apple loop audio files is their ability to automatically match the tempo and key of a logic project"
    is that possible an audio file being able to change key to the key of your project?? how about if the audio loop is a guitar strum strumming a C chord, it is able to switch the strum to a D chord, F chord, etc...?? how does that work??
    sorry if this is a stupid question
    I can understand how the software instrument loops would be able to change to match your project because they are midi and the midi notes can just be transposed to whatever Key, chord, etc....
    please explain if you know i will really appreciate it
    Thanks

    wow that is crazy i can't believe it is able to transpose audio loops (not midi) to different keys. especially stuff with more then one note playing at the same time like guitar strum.
    I know how to set up the key in logic and change it etc... i was really wondering how it is capable of doing this?? does it have some kind of melodyne or autotune built in to it?? i never heard of software being able to do this with pre recorded audio that plays more than one note at a time.

  • Questions about tabs, spaces and indenting

    I tried to find some information about this in the forum, but I didn't succeed (perhaps I failed at the search). My apologies if this a trivial topic, but as I'm in the learning process of programming (I started with Python and php myself, and Pascal at college) this is a new world to me.
    Yesterday I was editing a txt file in Vim, and I encounter a few issues trying to print it. That's when I learned that tabbing all the way thought to format some text maybe is not a good idea. Then a guy in #Vim directed me to use spaces instead of tabs for indenting and formating the text / programs that I write, as the tab indenting is -almost- only needed by makefiles. Also he showed me than in Python programming it is suggested to use spaces as well.
    I googled a bit and I found sites like this, with pros and cons about both styles. Also I found a Vim plugin (Smart Tabs) that at first sight seems quite nice, like it have the best of both worlds.
    So my question here is: what should I do? Choose one style and stick with it for ever? Choose according the language? Mix up both? Without any experience on this subject it's hard to know the right way, as it seems that both styles have (strong) advantages and disadvantages.
    Also, if is not too much no ask, what tab size should I work with? 8 seems a bit large, although seems to be pretty standard for some languages.
    Currently I've this on my .vimrc (the relevant part, of course):
    set tabstop=4
    set shiftwidth=4
    set softtabstop=4
    set expandtab
    set autoindent
    set smartindent
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Yes, I think to "choose one style and stick with it" is the most important thing.
    I always use two spaces to indent because I like the way it looks. Besides makefiles, I don't use any language that forces me to use either tabs or spaces, so that's not a problem.
    I really like this quote:
    Linus Torvalds wrote:If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.
    (from Wikiquote) After reading that, I don't think about indentation as much anymore.
    Sorry for my English. Feel free to point my errors.

  • Question about Hibernate vs select query/EJB

    HI all
    i just want to understand the benefit of using Hibernate to map table to java object. normally we use select sql to get data and populate objects with the result set for simple situation, and if it gets complicated, we may use Entity Beans for persistence. now we have this hibernate concept that maps a table to a object, and use the hibernate APIs or queries to populate data. what is the big difference. the hibernate claims to be ultra high performance, any thought? thanks for your help and insight.

    I have to say I wonder whether EJBs are much use at all. I think we need to explicitly say entity beans here. I think SLSBs and MDBs are decent and will remain even if CMP entity beans fade.
    The EJB model says have a container because it takes care of a lot of things for you (e.g., distributed, transactions, threading, clustering, lifecycle, etc.) For those apps that don't need those things, don't use EJBs.
    They have the feeling of being one of those management-driven fads. I think it's more like Sun and the designers of EJB had an initial idea, EJB 1.0, that has turned out to be non-performant. EJB 2.0 tried to fix it with CMP. Still didn't work. We'll see if POJOs and ORM are the answer. Check back in five years. There's a lot to like, but I'm sure EJB 1.0 was the best effort by smart folks, too.
    When you come down to it the
    attraction seems to be the idea that you can use
    weaker programmers (and I doubt the reality of that,
    either).I don't think anybody ever said that. EJBs aren't trivial. The container relieves programmers from having to write their own transactions, threading, etc., but what's left is hardly "easy".
    Certainly they've got to be extremely costly on
    comupting and (more importantly) network power, and I
    find it hard to believe they really simplify coding.I think the cost on computing and network power are just part of writing enterprise apps, which is where the E in EJB came from.
    Lots of times the network problems come about because naive programmers do n+1 queries when n will do. Hibernate helps with that.

  • Question about Primary Key

    HI
    I'm going to build a Database to automate center in my university
    The Database version is Oracle 10g v2
    Which data type of primary key should I user?
    I used number in past but I heard there is more efficient data type for this purpose
    Thanks

    BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE are designed to store floating point numbers. If you are generating synthetic primary keys using a sequence, you are generating integers. It makes no sense from a data modeling perspective to store integer data in floating point fields. And it is exceptionally dangerous if a value gets rounded unexpectedly (floating point numbers lose precision for the trailing bits)
    You'll have to clarify for me what "more helpful for indexing" means. As far as storage space goes, there may be some space savings using a BINARY_FLOAT or BINARY_DOUBLE if you have very large primary key values, but there will be a space penalty for most "normal" sequence-generated values, i.e.
    SQL> create table x (
      2    col1 number,
      3    col2 binary_float,
      4    col3 binary_double
      5  );
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into x values( 1, 2, 3 );
    1 row created.
    SQL> select length(col1), length(col2), length(col3) from x;
    LENGTH(COL1) LENGTH(COL2) LENGTH(COL3)
               1            8            8
    SQL> insert into x values (1e20, 1e20, 1e20 );
    1 row created.
    SQL> select length(col1), length(col2), length(col3) from x;
    LENGTH(COL1) LENGTH(COL2) LENGTH(COL3)
               1            8            8
              21           15            8
    SQL> select * from x;
          COL1       COL2       COL3
             1   2.0E+000   3.0E+000
    1.0000E+20   1.0E+020   1.0E+020So it takes 8 times the storage to store a 1 in a BINARY_FLOAT or BINARY_DOUBLE than it does to store that in a NUMBER column. But it takes less space if you're storing values like 1e20 (a 1 with 20 0's). If you're storing values large enough to get the space benefit, however, you're going to have rounding issues that will cause the application not to function as you'd expect which is presumably a much greater problem than a bit of wasted disk space.

  • Question about generate key press event to system. help plz.

    I am wondering if it is possible to write a java program to generate key press event(not receiving)to the local system so all the other program in the system receive those key press event also. Thanks.

    Hi,
    :. I don't know what exactly you intend to accomplish. But, I have used the following code in order to simulate keys pressing inside a Java application.
          /* - - - Simulates TAB (java.awt.Event)
          EventQueue evtq = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue();
          evtq.postEvent( new KeyEvent(this, KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED,
                          0, 0, KeyEvent.VK_TAB, KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED) );
          evtq.postEvent( new KeyEvent(this, KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED,
                          0, 0, KeyEvent.VK_TAB, KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED) );
          /* - - - Simulates Shift+TAB (java.awt.Event)
          evtq.postEvent( new KeyEvent(this, KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, 0,
                          InputEvent.SHIFT_DOWN_MASK, KeyEvent.VK_TAB,
                          KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED) );
          evtq.postEvent( new KeyEvent(this, KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED, 0,
                          InputEvent.SHIFT_DOWN_MASK, KeyEvent.VK_TAB,
                          KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED) );:. However, as far as I know to send keys to the whole OS you have to create a 'Hook' as described inside Win32API documentation. That's for Microsoft Windows naturaly.
    Cheers.

  • Question about reconciliation key

    Hello,
    I've got a reconciliation question that I feel is pretty simple, but I can't find the answer. How can an entry fetched from target recon be associated with a user in OIM? I initially though that it was the value of the "key" fields in the reconciliation filed mapping that was compared with the value of the users in OIM, but upon closer inspection, that doesn't make any sens. For instance, the AD reconciliation field mapping only has the "objectGUID" as a key. Since OIM users don't have objectGUIDs, how can an AD account be matched with a OIM user?
    This seems really basic, but I just can't find an answer...
    Thanks,

    You need to look at the reconciliation rules and reconciliation Action rules . For eg , is the recon rule is User Login equals samAccountName , then upon target reconciliation , OIM recon engine will search in OIM for a matching user with user login same as samAccountName and if a match is found , a AD resource will be provisioned to the user with ObjectGUID as the primary key .

  • Curious question about sleep light.

    Currently loving my new 2011 17" MBP, it's been completely great, no problems at all.
    I'm just curious about one little thing. My sleep light, seems a little dimmer on the right half. Looking at it at different angles seems to make it look "full". I was just wondering if this is the normal?
    Like I said, I love the computer, and I don't plan on returning it because of this, I'm simply curious if this is what it's supposed to look like.
    I'm thinking perhaps there's some dust or something in there affecting how it looks at certain angles.

    I just got the new 15' mbp myself an have had no problems.
    Except the issue you have. Although mine seems like its lost lighting on left side. Its very very minor but I can tell, which bothers me becuase I'v paid $2000 for it brand new for a reason (to look brand new).
    Have you had problems with it since than?
    An also wondering if you could would you exchange it for a brand new one because I do have 14 days to take back?
