Detecting Enter key while textbox has focus....

It seems like in CS5 while using the tlf textfield that when the focus is in the textfield that the keyboard.enter key is not fired. However, outside it is. If I set my tab index to add the "login" button as the third tab index then the enter key works fine. But sometimes when I'm filling out a form when I'm in the last textbox I just hit enter. What's the workaround to have the enter key fired while focus is in the textfield?
Thanks,
C

Enter Key while recover

Hi,
My HP Touchsmart bit the dust the other day after windows 7 updates. I am trying to boot from a USB drive with the image on it (F11 does not work so I had to recover the image and create a bootable USB drive). It boots up and even starts windows but then it is asking for "Enter the registration name and key below, exactly as given to you". I have no idea where to get this from. I tried the windows product key but to no avail.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Swiftkey keyboard, where is the "Enter" key???

Simple question...added Swiftkey keyboard in iOS 8 to my iPad, and it gave me a "send" key where there should be an "enter" key. How in the world do I get the "enter" key on my keyboard instead of the "send" key? I can't find that setting anywhere. The keyboard that they show when you pick a theme has an "enter" key, but mine has a "send" key. Useless.
This is driving me crazy, any hits for the hintless?
Thanks.

I see now that it's context dependent. However, when entering text for a search string in the browser, Swiftkey shows a "Send" key instead of "Enter/Return". When I have an Enter/Return key there, I can just press it and the browser starts my desired search immediately. With the "Send" key, I press it and nothing happens other than a space character appearing immediately after the search string! If I press it twice, the browser will finally start my search.
This is just the wrong context for Swiftkey to have a "Send" key in place of the "Enter/Return" key. In fact, I'd rather have it be an "Enter/Return" key all the time, that has always worked for me in all contexts. So I'm about ready to throw Swiftkey out of the boat, although I've happily used Swiftkey on Android for a couple of years...On Android Swiftkey, the "Enter/Return" key never changes to a "Send" key, so I think that this is just broken on iOS 8. I really don't like it when keys on a keyboard change depending on context, anyways, that just a badly designed user interface.
If they don't fix it soon I'll be dumping Swiftkey until they do fix it. I really did like Swiftkey on Android, but on the iPad not so much. Maybe I can find another keyboard, other than the Apple keyboard, that works well on the iPad. Bums me out, I was looking forward to being able to use Swiftkey on iOS 8 like I could on Android.

JSF 2.0 ajax : Submit form on Enter key press in h:inputTextarea

Dear All,
I am new to JSF 2.0 . Just wanted to submit the form in ajax when a user hits the "Enter": key while typing
in the h:inputTextarea . I would be very thankful to you guys if you help me out.
Thanking in advance!

I found the problem and a solution :-) The missing piece of the puzzle was the id attribute for the form tag. After some debugging of the JSF JavaScript I found the solution.
The JavaScript function response(request, context) is invoked to handle the server response. Inside this function the doUpdate(element, context) is invoked.
The doUpdate() function is doing the modification of the DOM. The function doUpdate() is two times invoked for a response. The first time the html elements are updated.
The second time the view state hidden field is updated or created but only under the following condition:
Comment in the JavaScript source code of the jsf.js
//Now set the view state from the server into the DOM
//but only for the form that submitted the request.If the forms of the both side haven't the same id the form can't be found on the second page.
In the following way it is working:
page1.xhtml
<h:form id="myform">
        <h:commandLink value="Go to page 2" action="page2">
            <f:ajax render="@all" execute="@all"/>
        </h:commandLink>
</h:form>
.....page2.xhtml
<h:form id="myform">
            <h:commandLink value="Go to page 1" action="page1">
                <f:ajax render="@all" execute="@all"/>
            </h:commandLink>
</h:form>So always set an explicit id for each JSF tag.

Lose of focus (mouse click/enter key)

Hello,
we have a problem customers are complaining about for quite a while now, but despite our efforts, we can not fix it or at least determine with certainty the problem cause.
We have an application launching forms apps, and from time-to-time we completely lose the focus on this form (generally after typing ENTER in a filter), I mean by focus, we cannot click anymore (cursor seems to stay on a object), we cannot press enter anymore (we get a 'Not defined key function') and so on...
I heard somewhere that it could be due to 'KEY-OTHERS' trigger not handling correctly the ENTER-KEY. But I need this trigger for my filters, or is there another way? KEY_ENTER does only navigate from field to another.
I found something which was able to remove focus lost (kind of a hack while trying to fix this on an on), but the problem is I had to remove this, because it blocks the opening of new windows or popups. It was a mouse-click trigger on forms triggers level:
Go_Record(:System.Mouse_record);
Go_Item(:System.Mouse_Item);
But this blocks any window opening, and it also blocks some other tools we have developed.
Thanks,
Best regards,
G.
EDIT: Forms 11g, and I am pretty sure we had not that much problems with 10g
EDIT2: I read the same kind of topics in the forum, but no patch seems to help
AND we use JRE 1.7....

this problem occurs with some of versions of JRE. Try with JRE JInitiator 1.3.1.22. Also unstalled all others JRE if exists.
A file called fmrpcweb.res has also been provided which gives the Microsoft Windows client/server keyboard mappings. To use this file, rename fmrpcweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res, and copy fmrpcweb.res to fmrweb.res. Alternatively, use the term parameter as described above.
By default, whether deploying client/server or over the Web pressing the ENTER key takes the cursor to the next navigable item in the block. To override this default behavior it is necessary to modify the forms resource file to revise the key mapping details.
Modify fmrweb.res and change the Forms Function Number (FFN) from 27 to 75 for the Return Key. The line should be changed to the following:
10 : 0 : "Return" : 75 : "Return"
By default, the line is displayed with an FFN of 27 and looks as follows:
10 : 0 : "Return" : 27 : "Return"
This line should NOT fire the Key-Enter trigger since the Return or Enter key is actually returning the Return function represented by the FFN of 27. The FFN of 75 represents the Enter function and fires the Key-Enter trigger.

The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Traversing Focus By Enter Key

Please Try to Help Me on this ............
I Have a Screen where I need to traverse focus (it has textfields, combo boxes and buttons) when I press the Enter Key (like Tab).
I used a Key listener and was able to do it (to a certain point)
The code I have written is below ..
Now The problem is when the focus sets on a JComboBox, it wont go further (tab works). I know that the enter key in a JComboBox is used to select a item.
So what I need is first to be able to select an item using the enter key and when press enter key again, the focus must go to the next component.
Is there a way to do it ???
(JCheckBox and JButton has similar problems)
SymKey aSymKey = new SymKey();
textfield1.addKeyListener(aSymKey);
textfield2.addKeyListener(aSymKey);
combobox1.addKeyListener(aSymKey);
combobox2.addKeyListener(aSymKey);
checkbox1.addKeyListener(aSymKey);
textfield3.addKeyListener(aSymKey);
button1.addKeyListener(aSymKey);
class SymKey extends KeyAdapter {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
if (e.getKeyCode() == e.VK_ENTER) {
if (e.isShiftDown())
FocusManager.getCurrentManager().focusPreviousComponent((JComponent)e.getSource());
else
FocusManager.getCurrentManager().focusNextComponent((JComponent)e.getSource());

Hi,
You need to implement the focusmanager, and set currentfocusmanager with your focusmanger.Then it works out.Because Jcombobox is editable the keyevent of the combobox executes .
Hope it helps.

How to detect the key enter with a numerical control without using loop event?

I want to accept a numerical value only when the key enter is pressed, but without using the event. How to detect the char "enter" with a numerical control?
Thanks!

When the user edits a numeric control with a keyboard, its property "key focus" is true. When the user hits enter, key focus becomes false. Poll the property to latch the control valuse at the true-false transition. That won't work if the user modify the control using up and down arrows.

How can I use the enter key instead of tab to change field focus?

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
We have a fillable PDF where the users enter numbers into fields. They want to be able to use the <enter> key on the 10-key pad instead of the <tab> key on the keyboard to move the focus to the next data entry field.
How can I set my PDF so that it recognizes the <enter> key instead of the <tab> key for changing focus?
Thanks!

You can use a custom Keystroke script, something like:
// Custom Keystroke script for text field
if (event.willCommit && event.commitKey === 2) {
getField("Text2").setFocus();
Where "Text2" is the name of the next field. This doesn't disable the Tab key though. For more information, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.608.html

No enter key or focus w/firefox

When testing with Firefox, my flash form doesn't allow the
enter key or the scroll wheel to function. Not can I set focus on a
particular field. That is, The field appears to be in focus, but
the cursor is not set to that field. I have to click it first
before I can type into it.

On my MBP I can get "enter" by function-return.

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro. If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
Best Regards,
Jeffri
