Disabling Apple key in a JTable

I have a JTable on Windows i can use CNTL-C,CNTl-V to copy and paste between cells.
I then migrated it to OSX where the default is to use AppleCommand-C and AppleCommand-V instead. The problem is that it doesnt work because unlike pressing CNTL pressing AppleCommand on its own starts editing the cell so popupmenu command doesnt run.
For another reason on windows i had sucessfully disabled use of the F2 key to edit cells so tried a similar method to diisable the command key as follows.
table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask(), 0), "none");
table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask(), 0), "none");
table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask(), 0), "none");to disable the command key but it has no effect.
Any ideas , please ?

FYI I posted this on the Apple Java Mailing list and two slightly different but essentially the same solutions were provided. I went with the one implemeneted in Quaqua.

Disable left Apple key

Hi,
Is there a trick to disable the left Apple key? Is there something like xmodmap for applications outside X11?
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this — except ripping the cap off the key and sticking a wad of chewing gum on in its place!
But I am curious as to WHY you'd want to do this. The convenience of having two Cmd keys is great—for example, Cmd-Q is best typed with the right Cmd key, whereas Cmd-P is easier to get with the left.
Cheers!

How do I pair an apple key board to a brand new mac mini?

How do I pair an apple key board to a brand new mac mini?

Have you tried a wired keyboard to turn on the BT system? Macs can require some special key-combinations that *must* be seen before the OS starts and BT sometimes does not activate before the OS.

If not this:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.

How to disable a particular cell in JTable ?

I having a problem on how to set disable a particular cell in JTable. At the first place to load the JTable, I want to set some of the cell to disabled, it only will run at the first time, is there anyway to do it ?

This is the function that disable/enable cells in JTables.
Are you looking for this?
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col)
if(((new Integer((String)(getValueAt(row,0)).toString()).intValue()>9))&&(col==1))
    return true;
if(row!=4&&col!=5)
    return true;
return false;
     this metod belong to the TableModel function
and what I gave you is only an example of what you can do with it.
if it return false it disable and if true it enable the cell...but I think this you allready know!

How can I disable a key through software?

A friend of mine spilt water on her keyboard. As a result, her forward slash key frequently spams and makes typing difficult. I used a program to remap the forward slash key to a forward delete key, but that has also caused problems. What I'm looking for is a program that will allow me to completely disable a key.
I should note, I've used KeyRemap4Macbook and I've also developed my own code, which disables the key on Cocoa applications. However, the key still spams on applications like Microsoft Word.
Her Macbook is more than a year old, and she can't afford to buy a new one.
Any suggestions?

Liquid in a physical keyboard is great trouble. You may worsen state if you continue to use it like this, make the effort to change it. It is not cheap, but may prove cheaper than damage the whole computer.

Key not typing letter, but working with Apple key in combination with lette

I have an Indigo iBook. Just today the "f" key has stopped working - at least for tying the letter itself. When I press it in combination with the Apple key however, I get the "find" box to come up, so in some way the key is working on the keyboard. We have removed the cap and directly pressed the plastic underneath; no difference. Slso hooked up an external keyboard - still no f!!!!!
After searching the forums, we have found that many people have had luck removing their keyboard and checking the ribbon cable or the airport spring - do not want to do something so drastic if there is an easier fix.
Thanks very much!
iBook Indigo Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Just an update if anyone has any more ideas - (troy enn - thanks, but nothing was assigned in my Universal Access to the f key).
The f letter works in upper case, just not lower case. So, for now, I am just using the character palette, and inserting an f if I need it - thankfully, for some reason I don't seem to use it all that much!

Apple key not working

I have a microsoft wireless keyboard, and suddenly, my apple key is not working. All of the other keys on the keyboard work, so I am assuming that there is not a problem with the keyboard. I have tried resetting my keyboard shortcuts to default through system preferences, but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Welcome to Discussions - have you tried using some compressed air to clean the keyboard, it might simply be something lodged under the key. You might also try removing and re-pairing the keyboard.

Disabled apple id

My newphew set my mom up with an ipad and apple/itunes id
I too set my Mom up with an Itunes/apple ID for her Ipad.
I try to login with the information I set up and I get "APPLE ID IS DISABLED". I've reset the password to the ID I set up 4 times and I still get the error message about my Apple ID being disabled. I'm not sure if the 2 id's are conflicting or what. I basically want to DELETE his apple ID and use the one I set up for Mom. I want to download apps, music, etc. for Mom but can't because of the ID issue. (She has an Ipad 1) Somebody help before I go crazy. Thanks.

Need help in reassigning 'fn' key to be a command [apple] key

Hi everyone,
I have a Japanese keyboard-ed Powerbook 12". I would like to reassign the fn key to function as a command/apple key, primarily for web browsing. I tried adding a keyboard shortcut just for Safari but it wouldn't work and I am ont sure what I am doing wrong.
The Japanese keyboards only have one command/apple key (on the left side), and it would be nice to have one on the right side instead (close to the arrow keys).
FYI, the keyboard layout on the right side is currently:
[kana-switch to JP key] [fn] [enter] [arrow keys]
Thanks for any help!!

Hi Nate --
I'm not certain (in fact, the more I look at it I kind of doubt it), but maybe DoubleCommand might help you do what you want, or at least something approximating that.
I'll keep looking, but it's the best I can come up with right now.

My I Mac does not start properly without pressing option and apple keys ,and it freezes

My I Mac does not start properly without pressing option and apple keys ,and it freezes

Try any of the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

Disable Function Key F3 in Internet Explorer

I would like to disable function keys F1 and F3 while playing
my flash movie in internet explorer. I am using these keys within
Flash to do some actions.
I got the script working for Function Key F1 using the
following script
<script language="javascript">
document.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
window.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
</script>
But unable to make it to work for function key F3.
Thanks in advance,
Desmond

Hi des_shun, I have workaround for this issue.
First thing we have to do is disable keyboard event for F3 key on HTML document so that even if focus is on html document, default Search functionality will not popup. Next thing is, flash must contain KeyboardEvent listener for keyboard response. This is where we will keep our custom F3 functionality. This setting works well on Chrome & FireFox.
Now IE thing.
The prolem with IE is that if any one of F3, F5, F6,F7 & F11 key is pressed, when the focus is on flash movie it directly executes the default browser functions like searching, refreshing etc never allowing flash to execute its keyeventlistener. But if focus is on document body, then F3 and other keys work fine.
Here is the catch.
All we have to do is whenever focus is shifted to flash, we should revert that focus to document body.
Here is how we can do this.
Capture the MouseClick event in your flash movie. Then in this mouseclick event handler, call javascript function to change focus to document again. Below is the sample code.
//Flash Code
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mClick);
function mClick(event:MouseEvent)
          ExternalInterface.call("changeFocus");
// Javascript Code
<script type="text/javascript"</script>
          function changeFocus()
                         document.body.focus();
    </script>
Thats it!
