Easier Keyboard Tab Switching...

So I've read this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6886495&#6886495
Now, while CmdShift [ (or ]) is really neat as a way to switch tabs I would really prefer something I can do with one hand to leave my right free for the mouse (or my coffee).
For years I have used Cmd+Tab in Firefox and have not been able to find a way to do that in Safari. Obviously, I'd prefer to use Safari, as it is much less of a system hog than Firefox.
Any ideas?

Well, the menu bar command is Select Next Tab (in the Window menu). In System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, click on the + button at the bottom, select Safari from the Application pop-up menu, enter Select Next Tab in the Menu Title field, and then enter a one-handed key combination that will leave you free to sip coffee with the other hand.
Hope this helps...

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

While not in edit mode:
- if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
- if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

Easy keyboard switching

Hi, I have arch with lxde, and I am trying to switch to dvorak keyboard.
Is there a simple easy way of switching keyboard layout, that does not require manually editing xorg files and restarting the x server?
I was hoping I could use the "Keyboard layout swicher" in the lxpanel, but I don't know how to add (or where I should) a new keyboard layout with dvorak variant.
Thanks to anyone who has some advice for me.
PS: Sorry if my English is bad, I try the best I can.

I use a bash script called by a launcher on my panel:
if setxkbmap -query |grep -q "us$"
then
setxkbmap carpalx
else
setxkbmap us
fi
I also have some aliases:
alias asdf='setxkbmap carpalx'
alias dstn='setxkbmap us'
(asdf are left hand home keys in us layout, dstn are left hand home keys in carpalx layout)
Of course, now I've fully switched to carpalx I really need to make it the default.
OT> Have you looked into the Colemak layout? It is considered to be the best of the 'established' alternatives (for english anyway) among the kb optimizing community:
CarpalX

No 'Keyboard' tab on boot camp control panel - MBP Jun 2009 + Windows 7100

I've been trying for 2 weeks now to get the function keys to work on my MBP (bought Jun 2009) using Windows 7 Build 7100.
This is the 3 ghz MBP with 256gig ssd. Boot camp partitoned fine, windows 7 installed ok, and boot camp ran fine as well. I even downloaded the 2.1 boot camp update and reinstalled the drivers.
The thing is no matter what i do, the keyboard function keys dont work. And i've noticed that the Keyboard tab does not appear on the Boot Camp control panel. The dvd eject button doesnt work either, the sound not working, and also the trackpad is a bit jumpy.
I've researched a lot already for this problem, and it seems people do get Windows 7 to work find on a MBP (even with Vista drivers) so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
The machine itself by the way is incredibly quick under Windows 7. Everything is pretty much instant. What a pleasure:)

I've solved the problem.
The Boot Camp Support Software I orginally ran was downloaded straight from the Apple website so I thought it must be ok, but just to be sure I went back into OS X and downloaded it through the Boot Camp Assistant, switched back to Windows, installed it and everything game out fine! There must have been something Apple put into the software through Boot Camp but not their own site. All the tabs were there, the volume/brightness buttons worked etc.

Firefox 4 tab-switching hot keys not registering?

When I watch videos online via YouTube or other streaming or flash media, the tab switching keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+2, Cmd+3, etc.) will not switch to the desired tab. I have to click on some blank space on the side of the website in order for it to register. Anyone else experience this?

My suggestion is to ask over on the Mozilla forums why FF 4.0 doesn't cooperate well with the graphics swtiching, or what can you do to keep it not demanding the dGPU.
Have you tried using NoScript to block scripts from running, might reduce the dGPU dmeand some from Flash etc.
I haven't been able to find centralized forums at Mozilla, unless I'm looking in the wrong place. Their support system seems very decentralized - you post a problem and it sits out in cyberspace until someone stumbles upon it. You can't browse like a traditional message board, I can't even categorize it so people can better find it. But yes, I have posted the problem in their "system" and didn't get much help there other than someone suggesting gfxCardStatus to toggle manually (not exactly a fix like I said).
I've heard of some people trying to use NoScript to block flash (flash is the culprit in a lot of websites that sap battery life surreptitiously but I haven't tried it personally. My issue with trying NoScript is that it is just another "workaround" and not a solution. NoScript will undoubtedly have unintended side effects/consequences where websites just don't display right or "work properly" and I'll probably end up having to toggle it on and off -- no different than fiddling around with gfxCardStatus to turn the discrete dGPU on and off.
Ditto to disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox 4 options (which actually doesn't fix the problem of the dGPU being wrongly activated, and ends up causing more problems than it solves).

Keyboard layout switching not working

i use xfce4 and i created /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ar"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
but it's not working.
xfce4 has a program called Keyboard in settings menu, i used it it gives the ability to add another language but it doesnt has a switching capability.

I don't use keyboard layout switch through xorg.conf because it stops to work sometimes(if i use setxkbmap for example).
So i am using setxkbmap in .xinitrc.
setxkbmap -model pc105 \
-layout "de,ru" \
-variant "basic,phonetic" \
-option -option "grp:sclk_toggle, grp_led:scroll, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp, caps:none"
and "kbdd" for remembering layout for each window.
Change it to your needs or check the arch wiki about xorg.conf.d .

Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

Hi All
Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
Cheers
Brett

Manually dispatching a keyboard tab event on a form does not work

Hi,
I am trying to solve the following issue:
I have a form that is sitting on a TitleWindow. This is a popup window. I have a TextInput field. After clicking on the TextInput field when I try to paste something on it, nothing happens the first time and it works i.e. I am able to paste when I do a cntrl V the second time (I am trying to solve this weired behavior). When I use the keyboard to tab to the TextInput field I am able to paste using cntrl V the first time itself.
Therefore, I am trying to manually dispatch a tab keyboard event on a form using the following code and this does not work. I have 2 TextInput component on the form and I want the cursor to be on the second TextInput component.
I have a have a key down handler and I can see that the event that comes in is a tab event, but on the UI the cursor does not position itself correctly.
myForm.setFocus();
myForm.dispatchEvent(
new KeyboardEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, true, false, Keyboard.TAB,Keyboard.TAB ))
Am I missing something?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Lilly

No I am not trying to change the text programmatically. I have added a click event handler and a paste event handler on the textinput. I checked the differences in the properties of event and did not see anything that is different.
I have a hunch that it has something to do with the fact that this form is sitting on a popup window.

"When I open a link in a new tab, switch.." Doesnt work correctly

I'm using Firefox 28.0 (Waterfox build)
I've verified that:
- browser.tabs.loadInBackground: False
- browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground: True
- "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is enabled in the UI.
It seems only some websites actually switch to the new tab. Also, sometimes, this feature will stop working all together; requiring me to toggle the Firefox UI setting and/or restart firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I check the check box

The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I have checked the check box.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after I install the Persona themes

I was having the same problem and was looking for solutions when I came across this posting. Disabling GoodSearch solved the problem for me. Hopefully GoodSearch will update soon and resolve the issue permanently so I can use it again.

Hi,
can you try with below config in your web.xml. It specifies where to store the view state of your application
<context-param>
      <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
      <param-value>client</param-value>
   </context-param>regards,

All browser chrome (tab switcher, awesomebar, toolbars) sometimes turn invisible when window is inactive

All the browser chrome including the tab switcher, awesomebar, firefox menu, and toolbars, but not the standard minimize/unmaximize/close buttons, will sometimes turn invisible while the window is inactive.
Clicking back into the window restores them. I have a dual monitor setup, and firefox is maximized on one monitor while I'm working on other applications in the other.
This is an intermittent problem, and has been happening for about a week now, starting from a fresh install of Firefox with a clean profile.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

I can't find my shortcut tab in my keyboard tab

In my settings, General, Keyboard tab, My shortcut tab does not appear. I want to create a shortcut key for my email, but the shortcut tab is not avaiable.

If you update to iOS 4.3.3 you should then see it in the App Store app. If you have iTunes 10.3 on your computer you can also do it there. Otherwise I think that you'll have to go through your purchase history on your account in iTunes on your computer.

Yosemite kill french keyboard and switch to english

Hi,
I am on Yosemite system.
The keyboard is switched to english each time I switch off and on my imac ( 2011). I generally see it when trying to surf and I can't enter some of my passwords because of the qwerty keyboard.
So basically when I go to the preferences and then to keyboard options, french keyboard disappeared and I have to manually add it again each time I am opening my imac.
As I am french it's highly annoying to have to change each time this way.
It was working perfectly before updating to yosemite.
Any idea to fix this ?
All the best for this new year starting :-).

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
