E61 and extended characters (especially tab key)

I've upgraded to the new firmware and can't figure out any more how to input special characters (the ones not accessible from the special characters pages, that is).
It used to be that I could hit the blue key and then ctrl+ the ascii code of the character to type it in. This no longer works. Is there any way under the new firmware to send the ascii code out?
If not, when I'm in a putty session, I at least need to send out a tab character at times -- is there a way to do this via some key combo I don't know?
Thanks for any help... I'm running with a plain English firmware, no surprises here...

Hey nyamada, I found your post in my quest for the same answer.
I've since found the answer myself here:

Hit Ctrl-I for tab auto-completion in Putty.

Cp4 and Accessibility - Using the Tab key

What is the best way to create a Cp4 files where the viewer uses the Tab key to navigate through the course?
Thanks for your assistance.
Sheri

Hi Sheri,
You might need to hard-code this --
var so = new SWFObject("yourProjectName.swf", "Captivate", "640", "511", "10", "#CCCCCC"); // Below this Line
so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false"); // Add This
on the Published HTML file and save it.
Thanks,

TAB key isn't available in swing applications on Linux

Hello,
I have a small Swing application, everything works fine except that TAB key isn't available within java
application. I tried several JVM (IBM and Sun JVM from 1.2.2 to 1.4.0_b92) and two Red Hat release (6.2 and 7.2), I had no success with TAB key. The same application works perfectly on Windows for example. Can this problem have something to do with a bad Xmodmap file? I tried with a standard Xmodmap file (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std), but TAB key was still unavailable. On non-java application, TAB key is available normally.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean that
(1) when you are running a swing application and you press the tab key expecting focus traversal, nothing happens?
OR
(2) when you are listening for KeyEvent within your application, tab key doesn't give you KeyEvent.VK_TAB?
OR
(3) something else?
I have no Linux but would try to offer suggestions if I understood better.

Why can't I use tab key to move around in Add Bookmark Dialog?

It is much easier and faster if the tab key can be used to move around in the Add Bookmark Dialog. Otherwise, it will be very annoying that every time you add a bookmark, you need to grab a mouse.
Or could you recommend a addon that let me add bookmark without using mouse and the bookmark is just organized simply in a tree view?

Never tried that before in Firefox, but the Tab key works for me to navigate thru the Add Bookmark dialog in Firefox 3,6.15 on Ubuntu 10.04 Linux. Might be different in Win7 or you may have a problem with one of your addons.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Using the tab key in a list and keeping a table format when copying and pas

when I transfer a table from a microsoft word document or PDF file to the pages document, it does not keep the table and only the data inside the table. how do I keep the table?
Also, how do I keep the numbers from indenting when I do a list. for example, if I need to indent part of the sentence for writing specifications of something, I want to use the tab key to move away from the first part of the sentence, but it moves everything and not just my marker.

Not if it decides the list is a list, it can't.
The app never "decide that a list is alist". It does what you ask it to do.
Of course, if you refuse to disable the preference which automatically treats a paragraph as a new list entry I can't help you.
If the datas are stored as a list, the bullets are not part of the datas themselves so they will not be copied.
As I already responded the "Copy" tool doesn't copy attributes.
We have to choose:
we are using lists and the bullets can't be copied
or
we are using text arranged in columns and, if we put bullets, these bullets may be copied.
It's not me which wrote:
+In Textedit, it's very easy:+
+Tab, Bullet, First Column, Tab (or Tab x2 to get everything aligned), Second Column, etc.+
To do the same thing in Pages
Bullet, Tab, First Column, Tab (or Tab x2 to get everything aligned), Second Column, etc.
It's what was displayed in my screenshot and really I don't see what is more complicated.

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar

HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)

Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!

Tab key and lookup table

Hi,
How to use the 'Tab' key to open a lookup table, E.g. BP Code, Name?
Alternatively, how to use the 'Tab' key to call a formatted search? I hope to follow the standard in SBO and do away the Shift-F2.
I am using VB and 2004B. Your input will be appreciated.

I think you can mimic every user action with UIAPI.
Therefore, e.g. in Sales Order Form you activate the BPCode item (.Click) and hit Tab (.SendKeys(vbTab)).
You could also try clicking the the iconitem ("67") next to BPCode.
If you want to assign a Choose From List (CFL) to an item of your choice using UIAPI then you should wait for 2005.
Shift-F2 is standard in SBO UI for launching FSs, why would you like to disable it?
If you want to enable tabbing to kick-off an existing FS, then you should capture the tabbing event (et_KEY_DOWN) in your item and then use SendKeys for sending Shift-F2 to keyboard.

Tab key won't work. Works in IE8 and Safari but not Firefox. Thoughts?

About a week ago, the tab key stopped working in Firefox (when I updated Firefox?). It works fine in IE8 and Safari. I love Firefox but will have to switch if I can't get this resolved.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Data fetch from table without Refresh and without using tab key.

hi Friends,
I have a problem i want to extract data from table without Refresh into text field without using Tab key. when i'll enter any value in a text field then corressponding value should come in to corressponding textfield without using Tab Key.
eg. when i enter emp_id 101 in a text field then the first_name and last_name ,adress should come in to corressponding text fields without refresh and without using Tab key.
How Can I do this.
Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
I assume that this is similar to: Data fetch without Refresh rather than Re: Value of one textfield should come into another textfield Without Using TAB ?
If so, the only change you need to make on the first one is to use "onkeyup" instead of "onchange" in the item's "HTML Form Element Attributes" setting.
Note, however, that the user must move away from the item at some point (for example, to click a button), so the onchange will be triggered anyway.

Enter and tab keys no longer work

Good morning.
My enter and tab keys are no longer working within a text box. Could it be the result of installing "Deke Shortcuts" on my system? I never had a problem before the installation....
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.

Did you try removing the shortcuts?

Full screen mode and the tab key: how to ignore invisible UI elements

Hi there,
When Mozilla is in windowed mode, the tab key moves between the page content, which is great. However, when it reaches the end of the page, it then goes to the tab bar, the address bar, the search bar, something I can't figure out, and only then back to the page content.
When Mozilla is in full screen mode, it does the same thing, even though none of the UI elements (such as the menu bar et al) are actually visible.
So my question is this: is there a way to disable tab from going to the UI elements when FF is in full screen mode? If not, is there a way to disable this entirely?

You have to change the cursor focus.
What I usually do for PDF pages/tabs, is click in the URL/location bar, then F11. 
For Flash, if you click on the page outside of the video area/box, F11 should work.

Strange behavior with the tab key and multiple users

Hello,
I'm stuck on this problem and none of the usual trouble-shooting techniques have yielded results, so perhaps someone will point me the right direction.
I have an Intel iMac running 10.3.9 with two user accounts, and in one of the accounts the tab key fails to advance the cursor from field to field in any application, be it a browser, mail client, etc. The tab key works otherwise, I can switch between applications using apple tab, for instance. The other user account works fine. The keyboard & Mouse preferences are identical on both user accounts. In fact, after creating a new user account it too had no tabbing from field to field either, which would seem to indicate that it is not a problem in an individual account. Repairing the permissions did not help, and even a recent archive and install failed to change this. Anyone know where to look for an answer? Thanks in advance...
iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I did a wholesale replacement of the preferences folder from the working account to the non-working one, and after going through the welcome screens and re-setting a variety of preferences (setting up mail.app again, etc...), the tab key is functioning as expected in all applications. Thanks!
