Disable a hot key

I'm looking for a way to disable the delete immediately hotkey.
I know its: Apple, Option, Delete.
I've tried the Keyboard Shortcuts in the System Prefs but this key combination is not available to edit there.

Actually my issue comes into play with my server. I have an X-Serve and an X-Serve RAID and when I use that command with a file on the server it will delete the file immediately. You are correct, locally it doesn't do anything.

Any idea how do I disable all hot keys?

Exposé hot keys disabled after Time Machine "Delete all backups of file"

I have been having the same problem that was initially mentioned in this topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5850265#5850265
Namely, sometimes after I restart all of my Exposé and Dashboard hot keys have been turned off (but not the Spaces hotkey, just F9-F12). My hot corners for turning off or on the screensaver work just fine, but I have to manually go in and turn back on my Exposé hot keys. Some people said it was associate with WoW, but I am not running World of Warcraft. This last time it happened (this morning), I had removed all backups of a few files in Time Machine (what's the point of having a backup of a rented movie after the 24 hour viewing period has expired?). I have been looking for a way to report this to Apple, but have been unable thus far.
I just tested it to see if you have to restart, and you do not. About thirty minutes ago I turned all the Exposé hot keys on, and just a minute ago I deleted a backup of a file on my Desktop in Time Machine (by selecting, "Delete all backups of file ______") and the hot keys had been disabled again.
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

At some point I told Time Machine to get rid of backups of a particular file using the "Delete all backups of ..." option. Time Machine duly deleted the backups of the file and stopped making new ones.
Not exactly. It did delete the existing backups, but didn't make any new ones because the file hasn't changed since then.
The easiest way to get it to back it up is to make a minor change to it (the name or something in the contents), then change it back. Time Machine should back it up on the next backup.
Alternatively, you need to force a "deep scan," where Time Machine compares everything on your system to the backups. Usually, just starting up from your Recovery HD will do that, although sometimes you have to start from it and Repair your internal HD to trigger it.
If you're not sure how to do that, see Using the Recovery HD and/or #6 in Using Disk Utility.

Disable Short Cut Hot keys

Hi Ppl,
I'm editing the LabVIEW code of the full featured user interface. I'm not able to locate the part of the code that enables the shortcut hot keys like Ctrl+S, Ctrl+O.
I disabled the menu bar from VI properties. But I still find the shortcuts working.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are some properties for the ApplicationMgr that you maybe able to use but it does seems to enable or disable.
I thought there was a VI at the start that sets up the menu items?
Have you checked out whether the user rights and privileges may do something for you?

Hot keys for the button

hi friends,
Is it possible to remove a mnemonic associated with a button based on the focus of the cursor?
For example, when focus is on text field TF1, the button B1 should have a hot key ALT_B but when the focus is on textfield TF2, the button B1 should not have the hot key ALT_B.. that is, if focus is on TF2 and user enters ALT_B.. button B1 action should not be performed.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Deepa Raghuraman

You could use Button.setMnemonic(0) (thats the method that takes an int as the argument) to disable the mnemonic. And Button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_B) to enable it again (for the character 'b').
But don't misunderstand me either, if I open a new dialog and see a button that signifies to me : You can use ALT_B to toggle me because thats the character that has a line below it, I would be surprised it that doesn't work just a few seconds later, because some application logic took that feature away from me.
Think about it, but otherwise the above methods should work. May you have to repaint/inavlidate the button to set/remove the underlined character

Roblem with Hot Keys/On Screen Display

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to disable this #%$&#*# on screen display. Somehow or other the on screen internet/hot keys got locked and I can't get it to go away. It doesn't respond to anything and it is driving me crazy. I can't find anything in the user guide about how to do it. My computer is a P 205 series, if it matters.

Which P205?
..disable..on screen display.
Somehow or other the on screen internet/hot keys got locked and I can't get it to go away.
We can't see your computer. Exactly what are you trying to do?

Hot keys

how would i remap the hot keys on my compaq presario CQ62

thank you for the help

Go to the start bar in Windows 7, type “regedit” and press enter. If you’re unfamiliar with the Windows registry then please be careful, messing with values here can cause a lot of errors.
Navigate to the registry folder:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey
In the folder you’ll see more folders, the three we care about are:
- 15 calls for the Assocation of mailto
- 16 calls for the Assocation of .cda
- 7 calls for the Assocation of http (opens the browser or program associated with http)
- 17 calls for a ShellExecute of ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
- 18 calls for the Assocation of calc.exe
These are the mail, CD, Internet, Print, Calculator buttons respectively.
If you want to change them, simply modify the values inside each folder. Association will open the program that is tied to the protocol or file type. ShellExecute on the other hand is the same as typing something into Run and pressing enter.
An example: Let’s say you want the mail button to open Notepad: Go into the folder named 15, rename “Association” to “ShellExecute”, double click ShellExecute to modify the key’s data and enter “notepad.exe”, replacing “mailto.”
Want to disable a button? Just clear out the ShellExecute or Association data. For the mail button you would double click the Association and replace “mailto” with nothing.

Hot key settings on t540p internet explorer

i have a t540p with the web hot key over the numpad. Running windows 8.1. I have also the enhanced usb keyboard with a similar hotkey.
the usb keyboard hotkey opens the desktop version of internet explorer, where as the one on the native keyboard tries to open the metro version.
I would like to make the one on the native keyboard also open the desktop version.
Aside from the fact that this is what I want it to do, our company policy has UAC disabled which means several Metro apps will not run unless it is enabled. Metro Internet explorer is one of these.
I know how to edit the USB keyboard but how can I change the native keyboard?
Solved!

nevermind found the answer
in internet explorer - internet options - programs
under opening internet explorer section change the pull down to "always on the desktop" and check the little check box underneath

Satellite C50-A133 - language bar hot keys keep being reset automatically

Hi!
I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A133 notebook with Windows 8.1 64 bit (system language English UK) from the UK. So far I have not had major problems with Windows 8.1 but one annoying problem keeps coming up.
There are currently 12 languages/input methods installed, some of which I have assigned keyboard shortcuts, either Ctrl + number or Ctrl + Shift + number.
After the system starts up they work fine, but after a while become disabled without me being aware of having done anything to disable them. The only thing I can do is open the Language Preferences menu and assign the shortcuts again.
They have disappeared in the language bar hot keys menu, specifically each shortcut I have set has changed to "None". This happens after a while no matter what I use the computer for.
Restarting the system always resets the shortcuts to my settings but working with the computer for a while disables them. I use Avast, Malwarebytes, Auslogics BoostSpeed and Windows Defender regularly, as well as CCleaner at startup. I don't think it's any of these causing the problem, as it occurs when none of them are scanning as well. Using the Windows key + tab bar to change input language works fine by the way.
All the languages are displayed and can be activated this way. It is just the hotkeys that keep disappearing. It is not a huge problem but can be inconvenient when needing to switch between 2 or 3 languages quickly without having to cycle through all 12 of them. Has anyone had this problem and is there a way to fix it?
I have already explained this issue to Microsoft.
They had no solution that worked and suggested it was a hardware problem and that I should contact Toshiba instead.
Thanks!

To be honest Im not sure if I understand your problem correctly but as far as I know by first start after notebook purchase you can define keyboard input language and thats it. Of course you can change it additionally and add some other input languages.
For me it sounds crazy that 12 languages are offered as installed services. Who has done this?
Can you please tell us how all this started? I mean I presume you use UK layout only and English as input language. The issue with 12 languages sounds completely crazy for me. Have you tried to change anything? Have you tried to remove all other languages?
Hardware problem? I don't know what Microsoft think about this but there is a easy way to check this. Reinstall original recovery image and check how it works with factory settings.

Hot Keys toggle state of toggle switch

How can I prevent a toggle switch from updating it's GUI state when it is accessed via Hot Key (Alt + letter)?
I want to be able to do this without Disabling the control, and without setting the control to Indicator mode. I created a callback to swallow the event_commit. The control still toggles state when using hot keys but not when clicking the control.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While thinking about your problem it has occurred to me to experiment with some SDK function to check whether the accelerator key function could be diabled. While I haven't succeeded in it, I have noted that if you install a system hot key via RegisterHotKey SDK function it has precedence over the accelerator CVI installs while adding a double underscore somewhere in the control label. That is, even if the accelerator sign is present, a system hot key comes before and prevents the button callback to be fired. That could be a feasible solution for your actual problem.
I made up a fast example that shows all this matter: you can test all combinations of hotkeys installed on the control and see what happens.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

HOT Key choosing.Please see my code and suggest

Hi,
I am getting this strange behaviour.
I have a cell renderer which displays a list in flwg format:
1.[gif] Text
6.[gif] Text
I have written a small HOT KEY Funtionality.If I press HOT KEYS
1,2 OR 3,focus goes to the concerned elements.
But not got 4,5 or 6?
Can anyone tell me whats wrong if poss?
class MyListCellRenderer extends /*JLabel*/ JPanel
implements ListCellRenderer{
        private JLabel indexLabel;
        private JLabel imageAndText;
        public MyListCellRenderer(){
        indexLabel = new JLabel();
        imageAndText = new JLabel();
        setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,3,0));
        add(indexLabel);
        add(imageAndText);
           setOpaque(true);
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
JList list, Object value,int index,
boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
final JList fJList = list;
indexLabel.setText(String.valueOf(index+1));
imageAndText.setText(value.toString());
if(isSelected){
   setBackground(isSelected ? Color.red : Color.yellow);
   fJList.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
           public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
          int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();
             if (keyCode >= KeyEvent.VK_1 && keyCode <=KeyEvent.VK_9) {
                    System.out.println(keyCode-KeyEvent.VK_0);
                    fJList.setSelectedIndex(keyCode-KeyEvent.VK_1);
                    setBackground(Color.red);
             else {
                  setBackground(list.getBackground());
                  setForeground(list.getForeground());
} // End


If the other suggestions don't work for your situation, I have something else you might try:
I'm not sure if using keyPressed with e.getKeyCode() is returning what you expect (the integer typed) to do your calculation to set the selected index on the list.
Maybe try keyTyped with e.getKeyChar() and then if you can get that as a string, doing a parseInt on it to get an integer to do your calculation (which should be a simple -1) and then set your list index.
1) So, say keyTyped e.getKeyChar() returns the char '1' that you store as a variable char charKeyTyped
2)Then you use String's valueOf(charKeyTyped) and you store it as a variable String stringKeyTyped
3)Then use Integer.parseInt(stringKeyTyped) catching the exception that may occur if it isn't an integer
4)Now take step 3's result and do your calculation and subtracting 1 to get your selected index.
Hope that english explanation makes sense as I wasn't up to writing actual code.

How do you get the hot keys / keyboard shortcuts to work?

I have the free trial version of Photoshop. I am new to Photoshop, I am just starting to learn how to use it. I notice that some of the shortcuts/hot keys don't work.
For example, one basic hot key that does not work is the F7-key. The F7-key opens and closes the layers palette.
Another hot key that does not work is the spacebar. My teacher taught me to hold the spacebar down when you want to move the canvas around. When I am in handtool mode I hold the spacebar down, I then apply pressure on my laptops touchpad, I then slide my finger across my laptops touchpad in order to try and move the canvas, but the canvas does not budge.
Some shortcuts work. For example, tapping the F-key multiple times will expand and reduce the size of Photoshop.
Closing my web browser did not resolve the problem. Updating the software did not resolve the problem.
I am eager to learn Photoshop, but it's hard, and probrably a waste of time, to try and learn Photoshop when some of the softwares hot keys don't work. Anyone have a solution they can offer?
Thank you,
Jennifer

How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

Hi. My subject says it all. How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out. Then I reset the computer. Then I couldn't even log in. I tried Time Machine etc.
Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right. It seems to be working backwards. It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
Is there a way I can just disable it permanently? Even physical force if necessary. I tried to break it but it wouldn't break. I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter. I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
Thanks. I hope someone knows.

That's the best answer. Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also. It will make a laptop less laptopish. But it could do the job for awhile.
It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something. I like mine though. It's customized and is how I like it right now.
Anyway thanks for the reply.

How do I turn off hot key commands for the application menu/main nav?

(I am using Photoshop CC on windows 7 64bit)
I continue to have this problem which in many ways slows down my workflow. It is a bit difficult to explain so bare with me here.
When I am working through the different functions and tools like switching from the polygonal lasso tool to duplicating a layer and then nudging the image with the directional keys the application menu/main nav is selected instead of the designated hot key and I need to hit esc twice to exit the main nav selection and go back to the tool I was using... “I did say this would be hard to explain”.
Let me paint a specific scenario that causes this to happen:
I want to create a mirror reflection for a product. I first duplicate the product image, then I flip it vertically and drag it to the bottom of the base image. Then I hit the directional up button to nudge it into place but this doesn’t work because by hitting the directional button ‘File’ from the main nav is selected. In order to return to the ‘move tool’ I need to hit esc twice or hit the mouse button once. This may not sound like a big deal and it’s not but do this 500 times a day for a week with the ‘polygonal lasso tool or PLT’ and tell me it’s not a big deal after that. When using the ‘PLT’ you have no option but to hit the esc button twice because if you click the mouse button you place an anchor for the PLT and chance loosing anything you have already preselected with the PLT.
Anyway, moral of the story is... I have a mouse which is more than proficient in selecting File, Edit, Image, Type and any other main nav query. I would love the hot keys to select just the tools and simply leave the main nav out of it... when I first purchased CS5 this function was not apparent. It was only after an update or maybe I blindly changed a preference and poof... every second hot key I push I select something from the main nav which is a completely pointless and annoying function for me which I have never used and never ever will.
Please Adobe tech masters, help me! I will be forever in your debt.
Cheers,
Tony

Not a problem in the Adobe software. Something is wrong with your input devices or you have something on your system that instates global, system-wide shortcuts that may conflict with application specific ones. You need to figure out what it is.
