Cursor move only in x-axis

hi,
i' looking for a solution, because i have no idea …
i want to move the cursor in an animation only left & right (in x-axis) on a fix y-axis level.
thx for input

Hi Werner
I am not sure If we can directly control mouse cursor with java script, since that has numerous security implications. But it is possible to disable the cursor, and simulate the movement of cursor.
In that case, the following links may help you.
Pointer Lock API - Web API Interfaces | MDN
HTML5: Use the pointer lock API to restrict mouse movement to an element | Smartjava.org

Newly bought imac 27 desktop not responding, cursor moves only.

My setup did not go well as I was stuck in VoiceOver mode. Command f5 got me out of it but cannot do anything on the desktop, track pad moves cursor but by taping on it the icons do not respond. I am new to apple products, used to windows 7 pc.
Can anyone help me to get started as the computer looks great to use.
Thanks for any help.
osx working but not sure on what osx.

if it have a problem then you should
try holding in the power button on the left lower corner on the back untill it turn off
and then turn it on again
then you start with a clean slate

Cursor movement inNon editable text field

Hi all,
I have a Jtext Field which is setEditable(false)
I do not want the user to type in anything but he can view trhe text in the textfield through cursor movement.
only home and end heys are working , the --> and <-- arrow keys are not functioning on the non ediatble text field. can somebody help.
Thanks
vijay..

I tried what you have mentioned. The arrow keys do work, but one doesn't seem to make out because of the missing caret !!!! Keep the arrow keys pressed and you will notice the text scroll...

In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad; or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?

Frequently when I use a touchpad or tilt wheel mouse to scroll horizontally, the web page does not scroll at all. Instead, the text cursor moves left or right. If the text box is off-screen, the page will jump to it, losing the spot on the page I was reading. This happens way too often given the sensitivity of touchpads and tilt wheel mice.
I'd like to just disable the cursor movement function of the horizontal scroll. I don't feel that it is useful and it actually hurts my web browsing experience. I do not want to disable horizontal scrolling though; I just want it to always scroll horizontally and do nothing else.

You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs when you rollover, but I am not able to find it. Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of set of tags you had and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

How to avoid built-up for "cursor move" events?

I have a rather complicated program where several graphs need to be interactively updated according to cursors using "cursor move" events. The problem is that the recalculation is relatively slow and the behavior is less than satisfactory. Since the cursor position needs to be "tweaked" until the result is as desired, I cannot recalculate only at the "Cursor Release" event.
Lock front panel=enabled makes cursor movements tedious because the cursor movements is very
jumpy and non-interactive. Not user friendly!
Lock front panel=disabled queues up way too many move events and once the cursor is released
the graph continues to jump and recalculate for ages.
The attached demo (LabVIEW 8.20) shows one solution attempt that actually works pretty well: Skip the recalculation unless the cursor position from the event terminal is equal to the cursor position of the graph property node. This basically races through all unecessary intermediary recalculations on stale positions. However, the code can get complicated very quickly if there are multiple cursors.
In my opinion, cursor move events should not get queued up! The event buffer should hold only exactly one entry:
the most recent cursor position for each cursor. Can anyone think of a scenario where the extra cursor position trail is useful? The positions are pretty random anyway, right?
Does anyone have other (better!) ideas how to work around this problem? I definitely want to keep it simple and not throw lots of code at it.
The attached demo contains more details. It demonstrates the problem if "selective updates" is checked. If unchecked, it implements the above mentioned workaround.

CursorDelay.vi ‏29 KB

Thanks for the example.
The more I think about this, I strongly prefer my original method. It uses minimal code compare to the other solutions offered here. As a demo, I am attaching an implementation to a slide control.
Fo those without LabVIEW 8.20.
All slide events have "lock front panel" disabled.
TIme delay is 500ms, simulating some complex calculation.
As you can see, it works extremely well:
NO shift registers, extra loops, queues, tuning parameters (min times, etc.), etc.etc.
Just a deceptively simple "equal" followed by a case structure.
The demo shows a typical recording if I quicky move the slide up and down, then release it. You can see that the raw event structure takes more than 40 seconds to stabilize while my selective solution follows the slider position almost perfectly despite the 500ms stall in each update.
See for yourself! Can anyone think of a drawback of this method? Even if the slide terminal is not in the same loop, a comparison of a local variable with the newval should do the trick just fine.

The cursor movement is very 'slow' or 'inertial'

Hi.
I bought a mac mini with a magic mouse and connected it to a large LCD TV via HDMI (fullHD). Everything is excellent, save for the fact that the cursor movement is very 'slow' or 'inertial'.

Hi,
Whenever you write code, format it to show the scope of BEGIN, LOOP, IF statements, and so on.
Type these 6 characters
{code}
(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after the formatted code, to preserve spacing on this site.
You've discovered why the tecnique you're using is called "slow-by-slow" processing.
You don't need a cursor. You may not even need PL/SQL.
Just write an INSERT statement that reference the table from the cursor and the tables from your current INSERT statement.
Here's one way:
INSERT
INTO     t1 (columns)
SELECT         columns
FROM     t2
,     t3
WHERE     ...
AND     (t2.month, t3.sp_name)     IN (
                          SELECT DISTINCT
                               acct_month
                       ,        salesperson_name
                       FROM        period
                       );Depending on the details of your case, there may be a better way, such as a 3-way join.

Numeric keypad cursor movement keys no longer work in Firefox

In any text box, on any web page, plus in the address bar, plus in the search box, the numeric keypad cursor movement keys (home, end, up, down, left, right) no longer work
NUMLOCK is off
SCROLLLOCK is off
The regular cursor keys, plus home, end etc.all work fine
The numpad keys work fine in other applications (e.g. textpad, notepad, word, openoffice etc.)
This only affects navigation in a text box
I am running windows, and just to make sure, I backed out the last windows update and restarted my pc - problem still exists
I have tested with a different keyboard via USB, problem still exists
I tried restarting firefox in safe mode, problem still exists
OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, latest update is KB2952664
Firefox 29.0.1

You can check for issues caused by one of the installed and enabled extensions.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Cannot open files with a double click !! Trackpad solution does not work, just makes my cursor move slowly. Have not found a solution in forums. Help needed please!!

I cannot open files by double clicking ... have looked at forums and no solution yet !!! Control click is the only way i can open files
"If you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad - You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower. Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem. " this solution did not work it just made my cursor move at a snails pace.
Thanks for any help forthcoming !!!

found this on another websites forum .... it worked
I figured it out. Thanks everyone!
I had to turn on my wireless mouse... And even though I wasn't using my wireless mouse and just the trackpad...I had to turn on my wireless mouse then adjust those settings...Had to turn down the speed. Then Once I shut the mouse off and started to use the trackpad again it works perfectly.
I'm not sure why the mouse settings would change the trackpad settings but it did.

Please reconfirm previous SDN claim: can't preset cursor movement by TAB!

In this thread here:
Tab Order Control on Custom Screens
several SDNers offered the opinion that you can't set order of cursor movement by TAB key thru a screen. (I am familiar with the SET CURSOR/GET CURSOR trick for controlling cursor movement by ENTER key.)
Is it really true that you can't preset cursor movement by TAB key ???
I could do this back in the 1980's and 90's with CICS and Model 204 User Language - seems strange that you can't do the same in ABAP, which is such a rich and robust language.
Thanks
djh

Rich -
Thank you for making an excellent point, which as usual, hadn't occurred to me.
Of course, old-timers like me would say that what SAP should do is:
1) add a TAB-traversal index number to the little box of properties you get in screen painter;
2) pass the index numbers to SAPGui when the screen is first used;
3) keep them in buffer and follow them each time the screen is entered.
But what do us old-timers know? We grew up when there was just a mainframe talking to tubes with only some 3274's in the middle, and those only later ...

Cursor move suddenly starts selecting everything; have to restart.

Hi,
My Macbook Pro, once or twice a day, a cursor move will suddenly start hilighting everything. Bringing a menu down, like to quit Firefox, the menu disappears before you can click "quit". So I manage to quit Firefox, and the cursor is drawing boxes on the desktop.
This can only be cured by restarting. What's going on?
Thank you.

Well, it looks like you accidentally invoke the function where you can drag&tap (don't exactly recall what it's called again). I've done such myself, and keep doing so.
It's pretty annoying, I've turned it off, but apparently you can't really turn it off. Seems something Apple should work on in another software update
Your quick fix is the only thing that works

Random cursor movement in Address Book Notes section

When typing in the notes field in Address book, the cursor intermittently, randomly, yet consistently moves to the top of the notes section as I type. The result is that I will start a sentence at the bottom of the notes already there and partway throuigh, the cursor moves to the top and the text I'm typing continues at the top. I use AB for contact management and type a lot of notes, so this is particularly annoying. This only started yesterday, and does not appear to be associated with any recent software updates. Help!

I now suspect that it has something to do with search criteria, and the address book re-running the search periodically, and once it does, it selects that criteria in the notes field, which continuing typing overwrites and then continues typing in that part of the notes section. For example, if I search for ""newmailer2prospects" because I use that term to ID new prospects from a particular marketing campaign, a list of those contacts with that search term in the notes field displays. When I click on a contact, that search phrase is also highlighted in the notes field. Once I start typing additional notes in the notes section, that term is no longer selected. However, AB preiodcally re-runs the search, which re-selects the search term, thereby moving the cursor to the search term. that term gets overwritten, and typing continues at that point in the notes section. Solution is to open contacts in a new window to edit the notes.

My cursor moves left on it's own when trying to type in email, password, title boxes etc, making it impossible

When trying to type text into email, title, address and search boxes etc. my cursor moves to the left on its own, making it impossible to input text. I can't select any text either. Only happening in firefox not chrome or ie, have i got a virus or something similar? Any help appreciated.

Populating the screen field when the cursor moves to that field

hi every one,
I want to populate the screen field(MODULE POOL) When the cursor moves to that field.
So can any one help me out with this.
EXAMPLE..
I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' (Total Price). When the fields like 'S10_PIECES' (Number of Pieces) will be entered. I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' without pressing any button on the screen nor when enter is hit. When the field 'S10_PIECES'' will be entered with some value and the cursor moves to 'S10_TOT_PRICE' . The Total Price field should be populated. Please help me out with this.
THANKS & REGARDS.
Mahanta.
POINTS WILL BE REWARDED.

Sorry but look at this SAP documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/54/0608162d0711d295520000e8353423/frameset.htm">User Actions on Screens</a>
Extract :
User Actions on Screens
There are various ways in which users can interact with screens.
Filling Input Fields
Users can enter values in any input field on the screen, or change the value using the mouse, in the case of radio buttons and checkboxes. The contents are placed in the corresponding screen field. Filling an input field does not normally trigger the PAI event. Exceptions to this are Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with Function Codes and input fields with Drop Down Boxes.
So, i fear that you cannot "take hand" when user fill a numerical field to perform calculations and update the screen.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
