Disabling Access Keys in Safari

Access keys in Safari tend to interfere with the Emacs-style shortcuts used in text-boxes. So, it can happen that while your editing you accidentally press some access key, thus losing all your changes.
So is there a way to at least disable access keys while in a text-input focus? Or to assign a different key, instead of ctrl to it? Or something more complex?

c) something more complex.
you can strip out the accesskeys with a few lines of javascript. i wrote a pithHelmet script for this you can download here.
if you just want to look at the code, search for accesskeys at userscripts.org.

Problems with Safari not being able to access key sites such as BBC news yet Firefox gives immediate access

Does anyone else have a problem accessing key web sites using Safari? I am frustrated with Safari particularly as I can get Access immediately using Firefox

I regularly use cleanmymac
Which is a scam, but we can come back to that later.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test. If there's no change, see below.
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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
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 turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up 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 startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Access Keys / Keyboard Shortcuts / Mnemonics

I am trying to use the SetAsFunctionKey method and FunctionKeyPress
event to define keyboard shortcuts for window widgets such as buttons on
a Windows 95 client running Forte 3.0.E.
If I add the ampersand (&) to the caption of a button, the letter
following the ampersand is underlined. Normally, in other development
tools such as Visual Basic, if you do this for a button, then clicking
the ALT key along with that one letter automatically fires the Click
event for the button. There is no other coding necessary. I basically
have two questions:
1. Is there a better way of implementing this in Forte, other than using
the SetAsFunctionKey method?
2. If not, I have the following dilemma. My application consists of a
main window and several nested windows. The nested windows do not have
their own event loops, instead, they have Event Handlers that are
registered in the parent window. Both the parent window and its nested
windows need the keyboard shortcuts and would therefore need to register
for the FunctionKeyPress event. The problem is if I register for the
event in the nested window, the registration of that same event in the
parent window is overridden, effectively disabling my ability to process
the keyboard shortcut for the parent window. I am assuming that since
there is only one event loop in this scenario, it is the only one that
receives the FunctionKeyPress event. Is there any way to make this work
without making the parent window aware of all the keyboard shortcuts of
its nested windows?

You are right Dave, Windows 95 also generates the beep. I just hadn't
noticed it before. If you or anyone else finds a way to suppress this
behavior, please let me know.

I am using forte 3E under NT4.
I also can capture the speed key press, but I cant stop the warning
beep that is generated automatically by windows. Maybe this doesnt
happen under win95, or maybe you have the warning beep turned off in
your control panel.

Which version of Forte are you using? I wrote a quick test program using
3.0.E and contrary to the documentation, I am able to capture the
Alt-key shortcut on my Windows 95 client.

I have also used the SetAsFunctioKey method to implement Alt-Key
shortcuts, but have found that because windows does not recognise my
pretend shortcut, it beeps a warning whenever the Alt-Key combination
is pressed.
Has anyone found a way of stopping this from happening (without
changing the window control panel settings).

Using access keys in inactive frames

We are trying to make an existing website DDA compliant and want to use access keys to assist the keyboard-only user to navigate without a mouse. The site uses frames; we cannot change that as some 6000 pages are involved.
We have implmented access keys in one of the 3 frames. This works fine in Internet Explorer and Firefox regardless of which frame you are on. However Safari does not see the access keys unless you are actually on the active frame. The thing is that we want to use the acess keys to navigate between frames.
Is there anyway that we can get Safari to behave the same as IE and FF?

For 1: you can try and access the af:query component and call getChildren() to see if you can get a hold of inner components (e.g. buttons). By default, the access key for the advanced mode button is not exposed.
For 2) Same as for 1. This is not exposed and all you can do is to check if getChildren issued on the RichPanelCollection component reference allows you to access the command button and then set the access key to it
Meanwhile I'll file an ER to make access keys generally accessible for change (which however may take time before this gets implemented)

Access Keys not blocked when popup is open

Hi,
We are using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 and we have the requirement to add access keys on specific buttons in our application.
When a popup is open the background page is disabled and the user cannot click on buttons outside the popup.
If however a button in the background has an access key and the user uses it, the action gets executed.
Is this a bug? does anyone know of a workaround in order to block the access keys in the background when a popup is open?

Hi,
We got an answer from Oracle support... not the one we were hoping for though:
"the Development team confirming that _the issue is not a defect_. We have an Enhancement Request 10170506 logged for the issue to be _considered_ by Development in the future releases......."
The access keys functionality is a high priority for our clients and this is going to be a serious issue for us.

Access Key Problem

Hi SAPsperts,
My problem is as below:
I want to make some modification to the transaction CO15, This transaction is for Production order confirmation. First we will give the Order number on the first screen. Then we will check for the goods movement. When we press Goods movement button and it takes me to the next detailed screen where I see the order items. I need to make the changes in this screen. As per my requirement I need to disable couple of fields in the table control.
Now, I am going to SAP Service market place and creating the ACCESS KEY with below parameters
Release : 700
PgmID: R3TR Full Object
Type: TRAN (As its transaction: I think this is the problem, We need to use some other combination for this)
Object name: SAPLCOWB
After registering the object, SAP is creating access key but when I put that key to incorporate the changes, it says INVALID ENTRY. I think the problem is the TYPE parameter which I used while creating the access key.
Please let me know what should I put in that field to incorporate the changes?
Regards,
Hemal

This is MORE dangerous than changing standard code. With a change, you get the modification assistant and for upgrade you get SPAU, so you can see exactly what has changed. If you clone a transaction, you don't get any fixes any more, there's no record of how the clone was made and how it differs from the original, and you've effectively written your own program to update standard SAP tables, which also means that SAP will not support you if any prolbems would occur.
With cloning you get exactly the same risks as modification without any of the controls or records .
For the OP. You must set the release, program id, type and object exactly as prompted, and ensure that you are registering the key for the correct installation. The key I will get for Release : 700 R3TR FUGR COWB will be different from the one you get as we have different systems.

Access keys: please direct me to info for my help file?

I set up my web pages with access keys for mouseless navigation. I have been given to believe that, on a Mac, one may hold Alt and press an access key to activate the desired function.
(E.g., accesskey="9" for the "Contact us" page is acquired by holding down Alt and then pressing 9).
This seems not to work in Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows, and I can't find a Help file for it, or a thread here. Does anyone have a hint to offer?

Actually, its not a coding error...
ALT+1 opens the first item in the Bookmarks Bar.
I already sent a Bug Report to Apple for them to provide us developers a way to override special keys (F1, F5, Ctrl+P, etc). Easy to do in IE but all the ways I've tried in Safari came up wrong.
Let's wait for the next beta... at least in 3.0.5 this problem remains.
Also, if anyone has a workaround, I would gladly appreciate it.

How to disable access to Information OnDemand Services from InfoView

Is there any supported way of disabling 'Access Information OnDemand Services' option on InfoView
toolbar and home page in BOXI R2 SP3?

Hello,
This requires modifying JSP files. Please backup all files before mofying them.
Also, to the best of my knowledge this is supported. That said, this does not mean that the modifications will stick through updates/patches. Could someone from BO confirm?
This is how we did it (Java Infoview).
Go to
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\Infoview\main\
Open headerPlus.jsp, and comment out the following section:
<c_rt:if test="<%= isOnDemandInstalled %>">
<fmt:message var="ttOnDemandHome" key='main.home.link.ondemand'/>
toolbarCtrl.add (newIconWidget("btnOndemand",
"<%= context + schema.getUrl(application, "img.toolbar.ondemand") %>", onBtnOnDemandClick,null,
'<%= Encoder.encodeJS((String)pageContext.findAttribute("ttOnDemandHome")) %>', 16,16,3,3,25,3));
</c_rt:if>
There is an alternate way to do the same in the following SAP Note (I have not tested this)

Add BAPI to SAP case study flights - need access key

Hi,
i try to implement a BAPI which should be part of the business object "SFLIGHT" of the default case study of SAP.
If i try to change the business object "SFLIGHT", i receive a message window which asks for an access key to modify the business object.
I don't understand why SAP disables the change of the business object...this is not a productive environment, the case study should be for training purposes etc.
Can anybody tell me the access key or help me to change the business object?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards

Ok, now i know that it is not possible to change SAP-objects without beeing a registered developer. The registration process at the service marketplace is not possible with a trial version, so only customer-projects can be used in the trial version.
In my opinion, this makes no sense at all... but i found a workaround... i created a customer business object as a subtype of the SAP business object.
Thread closed.

Dsc: disable access to operative system to certain users

Hello,
i need to disable access to certain users of my apliccation to the operative system,
so they can't access to the desktop.
Thanks for your help.

If you want to disable special windows keyboard keys while your VI is running, you can do that from Toos>>DSC Module>>Options. Click on Advanced tab, Security Preferences, Advances and enter the security level.
Now you need to set those users that you want to block a security level lower then the number you entered at the tools option.

On the wireless networks that your Mac has had trouble connecting to, do you know which Wireless Security type (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is being used?
If it is WEP, one of the problems is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP. In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa. You may find the following Apple Support article helpful.
