Enter Key works same as button click

Tharpa,
You can make your search field a text field with submit. This will submit the page and make the request the name of the item when the user presses enter while this field has focus.
I cannot currently look at a 3.2 instance and be more descriptive about how you can do this, but if i remember correctly it was a sub option of the text field.
Thanks,

Making Enter key work

I have made a GUI and I want to make the 'Enter' key work on dialog boxes to operate the ok , button if it is the only button on the dialog box.
I have used the setMnemonic method for all the other buttons on other dialog boxes, but i don't want to have to press alt-Enter - i just want to be able to press Enter is this possible
cheers
David

To make a 'Default' button (that has a darker border, and will be pressed whenever Enter is pressed, look at getRootPane().setDefaultButton(button) called on a JDialog or JFrame. The keystroke for pressing a button with focus is actually Space.

need help here :make enter key work as tab in apex
$(document).ready(function() { $('input').keydown( function(e) { var key = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : 0; if(key == 13) { e.preventDefault(); var inputs = $(this).closest('form').find(':input:visible'); inputs.eq( inputs.index(this)+ 1 ).focus(); } }); });
This works fine on tabular forms if there are existing records but as soon as I hit add rows hitting enter does not move the cursor, can you help

When I type a web address in the location bar and hit enter nothing happens. In order to go to the website I've typed in, I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I make it so that hitting the enter key takes me to the web page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

The AVG addon seems to have caused the problem for me. I had it disabled and everything worked. Then I updated to AVG 2011 and the problem occurred. It seems to have reenabled itself after the update.
Just disabling it solved the problem.

Treat enter key the same as clicking button without using javascript

I have a page with a search on it. I would like to let the user press the enter key, and have it be the same as if they clicked the search button.
I figure I could do this with javascript, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way.
3.2.

How to make 'Key-Enter' trigger (when clicked on enter key)work like 'F8' key?

Hi . I have another question to be asked.
Oracle Forms 6i.
I have a form in which DEFAULT&SMARTBAR is the menu and there are no push buttons.
In the form, there is a 'field' named as 'ID No'. After entering 'ID No' in the field and click on 'Execute Query' button from the 'DEFAULT&SMARTBAR' menu, all the details of that respective 'ID No' gets displayed in all the other fields. Even if i press 'F8' all the fields gets displayed with the values.
But i have a requirement, i.e. after entering 'ID No' and click 'Enter' key , i want all the values to be displayed.
So i created a 'Key-Enter' trigger with the following code:
BEGIN
EXECUTE_QUERY;
END;
But after entering 'ID No' and click 'Enter' key, the values are not getting displayed.
What can i do to make this happen?
Thank You.

It depends how your form is created. If your ID item is part of the base table block, you can do this.
On your ID item, create a KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger:
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
execute_query;
else
next_item;
end if;
Now
- User clicks on enter query (via smart bar icon or F7).
- User enters ID and clicks <enter> key to execute the query.

Is it possible - "pust enter key" and "execute go button"

Hi guys,
I want to execute the go button when I push the enter key from keyboard...
Is it possible?
Regards.

hi mate - i think i know what you're trying to do... you're trying to "set focus" on the GO button so on "enter" the go button automatically fires off.
couple of problems with this (from what i see).
1. if you have multiple prompts on the dashboard then you have more than one "GO" button to click on... which one should you default to?
2. targeting the Go button using javascript would be a custom job and burn time, traversing the DOM to find the right "GO" button to set focus on....
... if possible I would just say "it can't be done" to the end user... is that an option?

Hi Friedrich,
try to enter

Make ENTER key function same as CTRL+F11 when in Query mode

I have a basic form I'm creating in Oracle Forms 6i.
When the form is in QUERY mode, I would like to make the enter key on the user's keyboard function the same as CTRL+F11 (execute the search).
Is this possible to do without modifying the key mappings file (.res)? Or would you have to make a change to this file in order to accommodate this capability?
Thanks,
Jeremy

You could write your own Key-Enter trigger at the Form level. Key-?? Triggers will fire in "Enter Query" mode, so you will have to check the Mode in your code. Something like:
/* Sample Key-Enter trigger */
BEGIN
   IF :System.Mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
      Execute_Query;
   ELSE
      ENTER;
   END IF;
END;Personally, I would educate the users to use the Ctrl-F11 keys rather than make a key stroke multi-function. What if they try to use the Enter key for navigation while in Enter-Query mode?
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Hi,
If you have an instance of SPListItem, and know the workflow association name, you can start it. First you need to find workflow assocation instance and tell SPSite.SPWorkflowManager to start your workflow.
See this for more information:

Shouldn't this Enter Key do same as Tab key?

I am trying to have the Enter key switch the focus between these 2 JTextField. (like the Tab key), but I can't get it to work.
Any advice, please?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class TestGUI extends JFrame{
     JPanel panel = new JPanel();
     JTextField field01 = new JTextField("Test 1");
     JTextField field02 = new JTextField("Test 2");
     TestGUI(){
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          panel.add(field01);
          panel.add(field02);
          getContentPane().add(panel);
          field01.setBounds (125,120,23, 50);
          field02.setBounds (100,120,23, 50);
          setBounds(200,50, 300, 300);
          KeyStroke tab = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0);
          KeyStroke enter = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0);
          InputMap im = field01.getInputMap(JTextField.WHEN_FOCUSED);
          im.put(enter, im.get(tab));
          addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
               public void windowActivated(WindowEvent e) {
                    field01.requestFocusInWindow();
          setVisible(true);
     public static void main (String[] args){
          new TestGUI();


But how could I get rid of the warning for unchecked operations, when I am compiling it?
Set<AWTKeyStroke> keystrokes = new HashSet<AWTKeyStroke>();And if you have more than two fields on the panel which all should react to <Return>, use setFocusTraversalKeys(...) once for the panel; there's no need to attach it to each field.
And there's no need to add a windowListener to place the cursor. Just put the line
field01.requestFocusInWindow();after setVisible(true);

Why isn't the enter key working in InDesign?

I have installed Adobe InDesign CS6 as creative cloud but pressing the enter key on the numbers keypad doesn't move my text to the next page as it should but just drops it to the next line. What can I do to resolve this?

Windows Laptop? Some of them have both the enter keys mapped together, and changing the state of the Numlock will swap between functions. If that's you, edit the shortcuts so bothEnter keys are a paragraph break, and make a new shortcut for page break (Numpad enter is actually a column break, by default).

Drop down boxes are empty but clicking in it still works, same with right clicking the mouose.

When I click on the File, Edit... buttons the drop down box appears and is empty. I can guess where something should be and click on it and I'll get a reaction but I don't always get it right. When I Right Click on the mouse to copy and paste I get the same thing.

There's a couple of slightly incompatible add-ons that can cause that, you need to troubleshoot to discover the cause. <br />

How to make the enter key act as a button?

I have a CREATE and UPDATE button and I would like the user just to be able to press enter and perform the create or update as appropriate as if the button was pressed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Greg

Greg,
Use the following so you don't loose the delete message:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
   htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
   document.onkeypress = keyHandler;
   function keyHandler(e) {
      var keycode;
      var id = $v('PXX_ID');
      if(window.event){keycode = window.event.keyCode;
      }else if(e){keycode = e.which;
      }else{return true;}
      if (keycode == 13){
         if (id) {
            doSubmit('UPDATE');
         } else {
            doSubmit('INSERT');
         return false;
      }else{
         return true;
//]]>
</script>What is the name of your primary key item?
Are you getting any JavaScript errors?
Did anything happen?
