Disabling Win Key

I have got a Swing Application implementing KeyListener.
While the application isActive() i need amongst others the "WinKey" disabled is that possible?

Hi Suresh
I'm a bit puzzled and confused. Please allow me to explain.
You said:
Is there any way for the programmer to disable going to the
first slide if the user tries to navigate to it via the progress
bar?
I am trying to not allow the user go past the menu
screen.
Normally, a menu screen would probably be on the first slide.
Unless maybe you have a splash screen of some sort and you only
want it viewed once. About the only way I can think of to
accomplish this would be to have the splash screen exist as its own
movie. Then the playback control would only allow navigation to the
first screen, which would be the menu.
The only other way I can fathom would be to disable the
Captivate playback control and use your own buttons to provide
navigation.
Cheers... Rick

Start won't appear after clicking start button or win key on keyboard

It's happened after update to 9926. First start menu works properly but after reboot it broken-down. Right click works fine. Before reboot i disabled "Windows search" service but i don't think it related.

Start won't appear after clicking the start button or win key on keyboard on the second user account. It works fine on the administrator account. UAC changes have no effect. Re-booting has no effect. Build is 9926

Win-key / PrtScr No Longer Working

I use the Win-key PrtScr-key. It would take a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it into a folder called //C:USERS\DOUGLAS\PICTURES\SCREENSHOTS. This folder is located in C\Pictures. I used this combination forever, but it just
stopped working. Even just hitting PrtScr alone no longer works. BUT hitting the Win-key and PrtScr-key will copy it to the clipboard, but understand the I want to make a *.png file in my Screenshots Folder.
Just to make sure I'm clear: Whenever I hit Win-key PrtScr-key it would make a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots. This feature no longer works and I use
it daily. Can anyone please help?
Please let me know if you require additional info.
Thank you

Just to make sure I'm clear: Whenever I hit Ctrl Alt PrtScr it would make a copy of my desktop image and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots.
That's backwards IME. Win-PrtScn does what you want for me and is what I have always used in W8 to do that. Alt-PrtScn captures the current window to ClipBoard and Ctrl-PrintScrn is the keyboard shortcut which the Snipping Tool uses for
starting its capture. I don't know what Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn would do, probably the same as Alt+PrtScn. PrtScn by itself would capture the entire Display contents to Clipboard, same as ever.
Make sure that you don't have a Shift- key stuck. Use the OSK to check. Then you would be really pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+PrtScn and who knows what that would do? <eg>

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.

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!

How do I get the last Java back, the most recent upgrade has disabled a key task my computer needs to be able to use for my business?

I recently allowed the software update and the installation of java 7 has disabled a key task I need for my business, specifically being able to view 360 degree tours that I create.

Slightly different OS and update, but I was able to use Pacifist to install the java Update 15 for mac os 10.6 after Update 16 had screwed up some business-critical sw of ours. You will need to go to the downloads site and download the previous update, and then use Pacifist to re-install the earlier version.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6411909/how-to-downgrade-jre-jdk-on-mac-osx
This might or might not actually work -- it depends entirely upon the details of the updates, and you could end up in some weird jumble of pieces-of-multiple-updates all together... Java updates are patches, not a full copy of the software, so to really go back you have to start from the beginning and apply the updates in order. In the case of Update 16, we were lucky in that whatever was screwing up our program was changed in both Update 15 and Update 16, so writing the Update 15 back overtop of 16 fixed our problem.

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.

Win Key Combination in Remote App

Hello. For some reasons i should run RDCMan (remote desktop connection manager) in remoteapp session. But I've got the situation that Win-Key combination are not being redirected to rdp session, because they are not being redirected to remote app session.
Standard rdp client (mstsc) has settings to redirect win-keys but i could not found same settings for remoteapp.
Is there any way to make Win-Key combinations redirected to remote app session? Thanks.

Hi pawellrus,
The remote app only include these settings :
Since there is not a keyboard option here as mstsc showed ,I am afraid this function is not supported by remote app .
Best regards

Cutomization - Disable shortcut keys

We are working in an enterprise environment, where our requiement is to give Customize Firefox to the users. Only Address Bar visible to the user.
1- Hide Menus. (Task Done)
2- Icon along the Address bar. (Task Done)
3- Disable all Shortcut keys. (Partial Done)
4- Disable all commands of about (i.e about:config)
I have explored about the disabling of shortcut key, it cannot be done through user prefences js file as I did for Task 1 & 2. We can to do with xul programming as I read. We dont want to use the Third party Extensions as for this we have to do for each user. We want to do change in the base file from where user profile generated.
I have disabled the shortcut keys by editing in the [ C:\%Firefox Dir%\omni.ja\chrome\browser\content\browser\browser.xul ]
just by adding disbaled = "true" attribute
[<key id="key_openAddons" key="&addons.commandkey;" command="Tools:Addons" disabled="true" modifiers="accel,shift"/>
<menuitem id="menu_openAddons" label="&addons.label;" accesskey="&addons.accesskey;" disabled="true" key="key_openAddons" command="Tools:Addons"/>]
The Shortcut key disabled but only for the administrator but not work for the normal users whose menu disabled or not.
No issue for Admin user ethier shortcut disabled but not rest features.
Please help in this regard. Either any other file which create the user profile and for point no 4. or How to resolve this issue.

Looking for an alternate method to do this without an event structure. My implementation uses a state machine with while loops, and is setup to only respond to specific keystrokes/mouse clicks, at specific times. When in these states, it waits for the user to interract, and can not proceed until they do (by either progressing with the sequence, or aborting it).
When I implement the method provided, it does work when it is in the state that expects F1, but if the user presses F1 at any other time, the event is triggered, and the VI goes into an invalid state (locks up). I do inderstand that normally an event structure would be the correct implementation for keyboard inputs, but the application needs to respond in different ways depending on the user input, and needs to ignore all user input at other times. I couldn't figure out a practical way to ignore events while in certain states, so I implemented the statem machine instead.
Any ideas? Working in LV 2013. Thanks in advance.

How to disable repeating keys

I need to accent some characters when typing in French. According to what I read, repeat keys should no longer work in Mountain Lion, except for asterisks and dots etc. In theory I should be able, by holding down the letter on the keyboard, to get a pop-up panel of possible accents to use. But I am getting repeat keys instead. I have tried using Lion Tweaks to use the 'disable repeating keys' function and although I get the message that is has been done, it hasn't. Can anyone help?

I can't explain why you are not getting the accents, but you can still use the key-chords to type accented characters.
Press Option (alt) + Accent key, release the keys, then press the letter. For example, press Option-i, then o to get ô.
If you have the input menu active, you can use the Keyboard Viewer to see the Accent keys. Open the viewer and press the Option key. The Orange highlighted keys will display the accents under them.

Can I disable TAB key for Flash?

Hi All,
Can i disable TAB key actions in flash? That is i dont want
the focus to get transferred from one button to another on clicking
TAB key. Im using my SWF in an MFC application. Even if the MFC
developers trap the TAB key, it doesnt affect flash - the tab key
works for flash. I will have to do something in flash.
I tried _focusrect = false; but it doesnt satisfy me
requirements.

Hi niki,
That would do the thing. Thanks a lot.

You Can disable that functionality by disabling "Action Keys Mode" in the BIOS...
Here is the document, that will help you with it... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02035108&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US
