Defining a key combo for backslash

I have a MacBook with a German keyboard, but need to use Linux and Windows computers as well. On the Mac, I need to press Alt-Shift-7 to type a backslash, which is rather annoying because on standard German keyboards the combination is AltGr-ß and I need it a lot.
Is there a way to define another key combination (e.g. Apple-ß) for it?
(Switching the whole keyboard locale to English is not an option because the keyboard layout is different and I need the German characters.)

MrImage,
Two options:
1. Use a keyboard remapping tool as mentioned by Niel.
2. Download Peter Maurer's Textexpander (former Textpander). It will automatically insert text snippets as you type the corresponding abbreviation. "ßß" for \ if you like. Great for frequently used html snippets as well. i.e.: [ url= ][ \url ], [ b ][ /b ]
It used to be donation ware until it was purchased by SmileOnMyMac, yet US $30 are reasonable considering how much time it'll save you everyday.
(Nope, I'm not involved. Just a happy user.)
"mfg" becomes

  • Defining a key binding for a character key

    I would like to redefine the behavior of a keyboard key that is associated with a Unicode character. For example, in a JTextField, I would like to override the default behavior which is to insert that character. The documentation I have seen recommends using InputMap and ActionMap. The problem I am running into is that defining a mapping for a KeyCode traps the KEY_PRESSED event, but the default action (which involves the KeyChar) traps the KEY_TYPED event. In other words, if I define a key binding for the intended KeyCode, the default binding for the associated KeyChar remains in effect. Is there a way to discover the mapping from KeyCode to KeyChar so that I can map the KeyChar to a null action? Or should I give up on InputMap and ActionMap and use an event listener?

  • Key combo for Greater Than or Equal To?

    Hi all,
    The key combination for the Greater Than or Equal To sign is option+>, and for Less Than or Equal To is option+>. When I use these combos I get ligatures, ffl and ffi respectively. I need the mathematical symbols. How do I make the symbols and not the ligatures appear?
    Thanks--feeling kinda dumb these days, with the new CS4 and all...
    --d

    Never mind. If I use the EXPERT set of my font, I get exactly what I need. DOH!

  • Various results of using CMD-I key combo for get info

    I just updated to Snow Leopard from Leopard and I'm pretty baffled by some new behavior.
    I'm used to using the key combo CMD-I to pull up the get info dialog so I can change the default app to open the files with.
    Every once in a while, when I select a bunch of files and do CMD-I key combo, it opens up many many individual windows. I can't figure out when or why it does this and how to get the get info window so I can change them all to open with Quicktime.
    Other times, it does what I expect. It opens up one get info window for all the items so I can change the open with app.
    Can anyone explain what's going on and how to get the usual CMD-I back? Thanks,

    Thanks Malcolm.
    CMD-Opt-I key combo helps when CMD-I fails, but, I still don't understand what the problem is with CMD-I being inconsistent.
    I just did an experiment with some files that I have in iTunes because these are the ones I often need to Get Info to change them to open with Quicktime player.
    Example.
    Folder 1 has 19 files. CMD-A followed by CMD-I opens up one dialog box "Multiple Item Info". I can change the open with default.
    Folder 2 has 4 files. CMD-A followed by CMD-I spawns 4 windows with each files name followed by info, e.g. "Filename1.mp3 Info"
    This doesn't make sense.

  • How to define calculated key figure for more summerized level ?

    Hi,
    I'm new with Query and client ask me Ito calculate  % of WorkHrs / Plan Hrs.   I was able to calculate the % for all selected employees.  There're no problem .
    But when user drill on Time Code, they lost the % calculation because plan hrs is not presented at that detail level. User will see X at % calculation field as system can not perform the calculation.   PlanHrs is present at more summarized level only.  User still want to see that % calculation possible at detail level.
    I`ve tried different calculation, summarization but none of them work.  It works only for one employee but using SUMRT () but It doesn't work if there`re multitple employees in the report.
    My question is how can I do calculation at detail level if data existe only at more summarized level ?
    Could someone help me to make this calculation possible ?
    Many thanks.
    Employee   TCode    Plan Hrs  Work Hrs       %
    00000121,    0009   ,  1750,    0
    00000121,    1PRS   ,      0,     67      ,   X

    SubTotal for 0000121 1750,  75 ,  4.29

    SubTotal for 0000122 1892, 1673 ,  88.42

    Here is my current report detail view.
    [http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f270/helenen/add/?action=view&current=2010-06-2511-44-20.png]
    (click on link and view at 100%)
    The 3 rd KF column is the calculated ratio which is =>  2nd Column (Work Hrs) A% 1st column (PlanHrs)
    Right now, I cann't get % at detail line (they're now shown as X, because PlanHrs is not null at detail line.
    I'd like those X should be calculated as =>  WorkHrs (at that line) A% PlanHrs (of that specific employee) .
    For example: 16 A% 1827 = 0.875%
    It seems soo eassy but I coulnd't do it.

  • Show different key fields for different caracteristics in the column.

    Hi, experts
    I am creating a query where there are 4 colomns reprensenting 4 different dates. But I would like to display diffferent key fields for them. For example, under DAY 1, i would like to diplay KeyField 1, for DAY2, DAY3 and DAY4, KeyField 2 et 3 will be added under them.
    To do that, i made these key fields "Constant selection" and made some definition in the cells-------
    On the line of DAY1 in the colomn KeyField 2 and KeyField 3, I made them "Always Hide".
    But I didn't get what i wanted as the two columns (KF2 et KF3) still appear in the report, even if there are no data in these two columns.
    Is it possible to realise this requirement:
    DAY1   DAY2          DAY3
    KF1     KF2    KF3   KF2     KF3
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    There is no need to define a cell for this, use a restricted key figure:
    KF1 needs to be restricted by Day1
    KF2 restrict it by Day2 and so on,
    and use those restricted figure in the key figure section, but to make the column more descriptive use a text variable for the name of the columns.
    this should be easier than cell definition.
    thanks.

  • SSL: How to use the same key pair for ABAP & JAVA?

    Hello,
    I want to setup an XI (3.0 on Netweaver04)installation in the way, that ABAP AS and JAVA AS use the same key pair for SSL. My problem is to define the same private key on ABAP and JAVA. With the JAVA Administrator I am able to define or import a private key. But I could not find a possibility in ABAP to manage private keys in order to use the same on as in JAVA. What is the procedure for this?

  • Key mapping for forms on web

    Presently we are using forms 4.5. We have got costomise key
    mapping for operating through forms. Now we want to start forms
    on web (Intranet). Earlier we use to change key mapping through
    oracle*terminal. I require help in knowing how to customise key
    mapping in forms 6i / oracle 8.1.7.

    Hi,
    Boy, I have some good news to you: Oracle*Terminal is no longer
    needed.
    WordPad (or your favorite text editor) is your tool from now on.
    Keyboard files are located in $ORACLE_HOME\FORMS60.
    Simply ignore the binary file fmrusw.res when you run Forms on
    the Web. FMRWEB.RES is the one that is used, and it's pure ASCII.
    There are some comments in the file itself.
    The keys are the same as the Motif version of Forms.
    If you prefer the Windows keys, simply use FMRPCWEB.RES instead.
    How? Check under $ORACLE_HOME\FORMS60\SERVER for your
    formsweb.cfg, go to User Parameters and replace the
    otherparams=
    line with
    otherparams=term=%forms60%\fmrpcweb.res
    Now, anyone can define the Function-0 till Function-9 key
    combinations, in order to use KEY-F0 till KEY-F9 triggers.
    Hope this helps,

  • Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

    Hello Experts,
    I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
    Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
    *Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
    *Message no. SV141*
    *Diagnosis*
    *For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
    *1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
    *2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
    *all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
    *System Response*
    *The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
    My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
    Kindly help me.
    Thanking you
    Regards

    I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:

    I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
    I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.

  • Can U Get Different Key Colors For pro 13"

    Can U Get Different Key Colors For pro 13"

    Can you do something in the javascript code where you have given specific IDs to each buttons in your menu? It could end up in something like "$('#menu_id').css('background-color', '#1B3E70');"
    Or, let say you have controls defined like thie:
    <body>
    <ul class="menu">
    <li class="menu-item"><a>item 1</a></li>
    <li class="menu-item"><a>item 2</a></li>
    <li class="menu-item"><a>item 3</a></li>
    </ul>
    </body>
    Can't you write at render stage this kind of actions by index:
    var i = $("li").index( $(this).parent() );
    if ( i === 1 ) {
    $('body').css('background', 'red');
    } else if ( i === 2 ) {
    $('body').css('background', 'green');
    } else {
    $('body').css('background', 'brown');

  • I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

    I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

    I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
    The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
    Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.
