Del key?

Random question - is there any way to access a del key function on the MBP keyboard? Obviously the delete key works the same as a backspace key (place the curser at the end of the text you want to delete and it deletes backwards) but what about the good old del key that deletes the text following the curser?
Hmm... I'd like one! Does it just not exist, or is there some shortcut that I don't know about?
Cheers all
Jared

Hi Jared Haschek: It is a very simple little keystroke actually. Simply hold down the "fn" key while pressing delete. Works like a charm.

Disabling ALT+CTRL+Del keys

Hi Every body:
Can u please help me in disabling the end task for my swing application by disabling the ALT+CTRL+Del keys ..I'm not sure if that is possible in Java ...
Thanx in advance

Windows processes that key event before passing it to any programs including the JVM (which would pass other keys to your java program). I don't event think native programs can get these keystrokes unless they hook into the internals of Windows.
Short answer: No can do.

How to stop Firefox deleting active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

I tend to remove old downloads from the download manager by pressing the 'del' key. Before the update to the new download manager, Firefox would not delete downloads when the 'del' key was pressed, *if* it was still downloading. This is no longer the case, and you can now accidentally remove downloads that are still downloading if the 'del' key is pressed.
Is there a way to prevent Firefox from removing active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

'''<Control> J''' to open the download manager. At the upper right is a button;
'''Clear Downloads.''' This will remove completed downloads only.

Remap Key for Del Key

I have had the "nice GUI" (as other posts mention) opened. I wanted to get a Del key. I'm using MacBook Pro. How exactly I will do that? The keyboard layout on the GUI (Remap Key) is different from MacBook Pro keypads.
Can someone please outlay step by step instruction? It'd be great if I can remap the lower Enter key (next to right-hand Apple key) into real Del key (in Windows sense)
Thanks!

does anyone know how to do this? i would like to get my right apple key to become a windows delete key, but the enter one would work too... i would really appreciate anyones help!
thanks,

Updating textfield with DEL key not taking into account

I have a decimal field which accepts only numerals...
after modifying the value in the field and pressing an OK button...the new value is reflected in a table...
but if i modify the same field value using the "delete" key and press OK...the new value is not taken into account....
but the same works with "backspace" key...
So do i need to set anything to respond to del key...
Thanks

Also i am not able to put the code here as it is a huge applicationI did not ask for your entire application. I asked for
demo code means code that we can compile and execute, but it only contains the code relevant to your problem
Here is an example:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class DemoCode extends JFrame
     JTextField textField;
     public DemoCode()
          textField = new JTextField();
          getContentPane().add(textField, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          JButton button = new JButton("Update Database");
          button.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    System.out.println(textField.getText());
                    textField.setText("");
                    textField.requestFocusInWindow();
          getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new DemoCode();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
}If you can't create a simple demo then you don't understand your problem and if you don't understand your problem then how are we supposed to?
custom field So you probably have a coding problem and we have no idea what your code looks like
that accepts only decimal values and why are you not using JFormattedTextField?
And this problem is not seen if i modify the custom field using any other key say like "Backspace".Again this problem doesn't make sense since the character should be removed from the text field before the OK button is pressed.

Bootcamp perfect - now need ctrl-alt-del key map

Hi Guys,
Installed bootcamp, XP SP2 on MBP works perfectly, joined local Windows domain - no worries - now on boot of course it wants the infamous cntl-alt-del key combo - I've tried just about everything but no luck.
In the end plugged in external PC usb keyboard, got in and turned off the requirement to enter ctrl-alt-del in windows as a work around.
Any ideas on how to map the MBP keyboard to work? Thanks all.

Ctrl Alt Del on Windows XP:
After installing,
1) go to Start>Run
2) Enter "remapkey" (witout quotes)
A nice GUI utility pops up to let you remap keys on your keyboard. You can use it to remap the delete key. I suggest using the Right Command key.
After saving, reboot and you'll be able to use Ctrl-Alt-(Right Command) to do a Ctrl-Alt-Delete and logon to Windows domains and other useful things.

Del key prob

Hi all,
In my application we are allowing user to delete text box using key board del key.
In out internal network this functinality works perfect. As we go to internet when you press del it deletes 2 text boxes in single press.
In internet if you delete textbox using delete button it works fine, only key press on internet is prob.
We use remote objects in our application to save and load data.
Any idea?
Thanks,

Hi Alex,

If i put alert in my event then it deletes only on text. In alert it works perfect.
I tried to put delay of 1 sec, not working.
Any idea?

Keyboard Question- Delete/DEL keys

I'm a brand new Mac owner (PFFT! to PC!), and for the most part, I am loving my new little MacBook, but there are 2 things that are driving me CRAZY!
The Delete key deletes to the left, instead of to the right, and there's no backspace key. I looked on the help menu, and it says that either the DEL or Clear key will delete to the right, but my keyboard doesn't have either of those keys. How do you delete to the right?
Also, is anyone else having issues with the front edge of the case scratching their wrists as they type? If so, what solutions have people found? Is there some sort of wrist rest or pad that's the right height?
Thanks so much for whatever help you can offer!
Laura

To delete to the right use the keys fn and delete. Some of the keys mentioned are on full size keyboards not the abbreviated keyboard on the MacBook. Here are some help guides.

Cant get into BIOS via DEL key, screen goes blank on load RD240

Hello group, having an issue with a RD240 rackmount server attempting to bring it online for the first time. Currently in a one CPU configuration with one stick on RAM in the correct slot, using SAS. When the computer first boots prompting you to hit either DEL or TAB those keyboard commands are non-effective. Once it bypasses that screen it will move towards the LSI connfiguration utility. If you hit Ctrl +C it will say that the utility will become active after initialization. The screen then just goes blank. At that point I can hit Ctrl Alt Delete and it will reboot the server and then in the same mess again, Del is ignored, I can't boot off the CDROM, cleared the BIOS using the jumpers, nada. Any thoughts on this would be great, at this point I can't get in to configure and if I just let it boot always ends in a black screen. Checked the cables for the SAS and everything looks good across the board to me. Tried different RAM sticks, unplugging the SATA CDROM, etc. I can get into the Mgmt via the web and sensor show everything green across the board etc but something is borked. There is a LED screen on the mainboard with the number 78. I couldn't reference what that means. All drives I can hear click on, Cheetah 15k all around. Steady green light on bottom, top light out. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Try pressing F1 at the Thinkserver Screen. When Setup Bios appears, you can exit out by pressing Esc. After the screen goes blank, press Ctrl+H to get the Web Bios screen which will allow you to configure your server. I hope that this will help.

How do I delete single tracks from shuffle I tried del key it didn't work

Hi Antonia_13,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Page 15 of the Shuffle User Manual explains how to manually remove a song:
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide .pdf
Remove a song or other item from iPod shuffle:
1 In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices.
2 Select Music, Audiobooks, or Podcasts under iPod shuffle.
3 Select a song or other item, then press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.
If you manually remove a song or other item from iPod shuffle, it isn’t deleted from your iTunes library.

PC Suite 6.83 - DEL key causes "The operation coul...

Hi guys,
Just updated to PC Suite 6.83.14.1 on my Win 2k (SP4). I didn't uninstall before updating.
I didn't want ServiceLayer.exe running so I stopped the service. Now when I do a DELETE i.e. press DELETE key remove a file/folder etc.. I get a popup "Nokia Phone Browser - The operation could not be completed", on closing this dialog the windows delete confirmation dialog is shown. What's happening...how do I correct this ?
If I keep the ServiceLayer service running this error doesn't occur.
Thanks
Praveen

Hi praveenab
I am sure that I am missing something but why did you not want ServiceLayer.exe (a process belonging to Nokia Connectivity Library) running?

Event on Del key keyboard

As from James_D code posted here
How to progate an event to a children using JavaFx2
I am interested in how to attach an event to group made of Line and Anchor, or at line only in order to intercept the delete key keyboard press to remove the whole group.
Thanks

Hi James D,
thanks for your reply: do you mean something like this?
line.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.ANY, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
                    @Override
                    public void handle(final KeyEvent keyEvent)
                        System.out.println("key handler");
                });It does not work.

Disable Window keys ALT+TAB, CTRL+ALT+DEL

Hello i am developing an application in which i need to catch the ALT+TAB and CTRLALT+DEL key events and handle it in my own way.
The default action of showing the next window or the task manager should not take place.
In the event handler i have given
eventName.consume();
also.But the default handling is also done.
How do i stop the default action from being done?

Windows will not allow any application to catch the CTRL+ALT+DEL keystroke. In Windows NT-kernel OSes, this keystroke brings up a menu which, among other things, allows the user to change his or her password. If an application could intercept CTRL+ALT+DEL, it could present itself in such a way as to look just like that dialog. Then, if a user typed his or her password into that dialog, the program could log or transmit that password plaintext, severely violating security.
All sorts of exploits like that would be possible. This is why you can't block system keystrokes.
Is there any particular reason you need to override this behavior? Perhaps we can help you find another solution to whatever problem made you decide you wanted to catch those keystrokes in the first place.

Revolve 810 G1 Unlock Computer when in Tablet Mode. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or Windows Security Button

1. I have an Revolve 810 G1
Running Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit).
When I change the screen to Tablet Mode
(Folding tablet over keyboard and using as tablet).
I lock my computer.
2. What to know how to unlock without having to Open back up and use the CTL-Alt-DEL keys.
When Locked screen shows: Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or use the Windows Security Button to unlock this computer.
I would like to use the Windows Button on the bottom of the screen
(One Used in Windows 8 to change between Desktop and Metro) to Unlock screen And bring up on screen keyboard to put in my password.
This is probably how it should work, but it does not work.
Even bringing up the onscreen keyboard via the blue power button On the screen to Ease Of Access does not work.
The CLT-ALT-DEL on the on screen keyboard will not unlock the screen.
P.S.
Where is that Windows Security Button when you need it?
Thanks,
Rog

If you are using Windows 7 (not Windows 8), you should be able to touch the Ease of Access button at the lower left of the screen, then select Type without the keyboard (On-screen keyboard). When the on-screen keyboard pops-up, press CTRL, then ALT, then DEL. You should get a password prompt; the on-screen keyboard will stay visible unless and until you close it.
