Entering symbols in GTK programs

I use the spanish ISO keyboard layout, and I've noticed I cannot enter symbols that require the option key (such as \|@#¢∞{}[]€£) into GTK programs.
If I set the swapAltMeta preference to true, I can get them with the command key, while the option key works for menu and button shortcuts, but I can't type things like £, because that uses the shift key, and command-shift-4 will make a screenshot.
How can I get the option key to work like it does on Mac OS, for entering special characters?

Could you respond here:

with your configuration?

Can you give us some more info? Is this gnome, fluxbox, kde, etc for example? What GTK apps do you mean?
You often have to restart the wm or reload configs etc to get new menu items showing, have you tried that?

Checking whether field-symbol from another program is assigned?

Hi all
I'm attempting to access a FS from another program.
As the FS can be assigned, or unassigned within that program, how do I checked for that in my calling program?
e.g. calling program;

DATA: lv_var(40) type c.
lv_var = '(ZTGT_PROG)<read_fs>'.
ASSIGN (lv_var) TO <fs>. " statement might dump...

Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

Syntax Diagram
FIELD-SYMBOLS
Basic form
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.
Extras:
1. ... TYPE type
2. ... TYPE REF TO cif
3. ... TYPE REF TO DATA
4. ... TYPE LINE OF type

The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... TYPE type
Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.

Do not enter symbol on iwork icons but can access them. Should I be concerned?

Do not enter symbols on iwork icons after getting hard drive replaced. I can access my work on all three, pages, numbers and keynote. Should I be concerned?

First, drag the iWork applications off the Dock. Then, go to Applications folder and drag them to the Dock again, so the Do not Enter icon must disappear

KDE and gtk programs.

Hi. I have a question about gtk programs in KDE. I use kde 4.9 but, i open a few gtk apps like firefox. My question is: opening gtk apps in kde loads gtk librarys to the memory? librarys remains there while the computer is turned on?

The GTK library is loaded into memory when you run a GTK application. GTK will stay in memory until you close the GTK application. If you have enough free memory, Linux will keep a library cached in memory so applications startup faster. Linux is smart!
Why do you ask?

How to register a new MacBook using info I entered in the startup program?

I just opened my new MacBook for the first time and the startup program walked me through entering a bunch of information and connecting to my old iBook to transfer data. And the end of the process it tried to register me with Apple but my internet connection was down and it told me I couldn't register now. It left me instructions for how to register later using the info I already typed in. I did not write down these instructions. Instead I clicked 'continue' and lost them forever.
Does anyone know how to register after the startup program has quit? I found register.apple.com but it requires me to re-enter all my data. Ignoring from the fact that I've spent more time typing this question than I would have re-typing my name and address, it bugs me that I can't find the menu or dialog box that I could swear the startup program told me to use to send my saved info.
Any advice?
Thanks

Usually there's a shortcut in your new user's Home folder called "Register with Apple" (or something similar to that) of the original registration fails. To open your user's Home folder, press Apple-shift-H from the Desktop. Can you see the shortcut there?
Just so you know, you don't need to register to receive any technical support or warranty support from Apple. Registering with Apple, I believe, helps their Marketing Department, but you don't need to register for support or help.

Enter password to a program using system exec

Hi,
I have a program that I am running using SYSTEM EXEC.VI. The VI runs ok but asks me to enter a passowrd. If I do this, the VI continues and completes the test. My question is... how can I add the password automatically using SYSTEM EXEC.VI without the user typing it in. I have tried a carridge return and then the password (in the comand line) or even typing the password into the STANDARD INPUT and have even tried creating a batch file but no luck
regards
Chris

Field Symbol error in program SAPMZF01

Hi All,
I am doing upgrade from R/3 Enterprise to ECC 6.0. When i do the EPC for the standard program SAPMZF01, in the section "Field Attributes" i get following error:
*Program: SAPMZF01 Include: MZF01TOP Row: 468
Fieldsymbol <FIELD> is not assigned to a field
(This message can be hidden with "#EC )
Is it ok to comment the field symbol, or is there any other way to solve this error.
Thanking you in advance
Best Regards
Akshay

Hi Akshay,
1. It is not a standard program, it is a custom one.
2. Try to fix the bug such that field symbol gets assigned.
3. Place the necessary checks before trying to read the field-symbol, i.e. IF <FIELD> IS ASSIGNED. ... ENDIF.
Cheers,

How do I enter symbols?

I spent an hour or so trying to enter the twelve symbols of the Zodiac in Photoshop CS5.
In TextEdit, these symbols can be inserted through the standard Character Viewer, but in Photoshop this yields an unsupported character in the Myriad Pro font, i.e. a box with a cross. In Photoshop, the symbols are available in the WingDings font, and I was able to find out the corresponding keys to type them, but the solution is awkward.
Am I overlooking something, or is this a consequence of a lack of standardization of font matter?
Is there any failproof way of inserting symbols into Photoshop?

Mike Gondek2 wrote:
Do you any other fonts open, that could possibly be conflicting? Can you set any characters at all in wingdings using Photoshop?
I use WingDings in Photoshop, using trial and error I found which keys correspond to the symbols I need.
How do I sort out candidates for conflicting fonts?
I think we can narrow this down now to a font problem on your system. Either another font is conflicting or a corrupted windings is loading exclusive to Adobe.
You have to right click on the app and do show package contents to get to this. Yes I know it is the Illustrator folder.
Also check these
The first two folders do not exist. That is, there is no Fonts folder inside the Adobe folder, and I don't use Illustrator.
The third one is empty, and the fourth and final folder contains a WingDings.ttf file, which is the only file with this name on my drive.

To fetch property phy. n chemical properties details as entered in cg02 in program

Hello all,
I have a requirement regarding the WWI msds report data sheets.
I need to pick the value for pH entered for the property physical and chemical properties while creating report sheet in cg02 and use it in a program.
Can anyone please tell me from where can i fetch this details?
I looked in various tables related to EHS but couldn't locate for this data.
There might be some table or structure where this entered data must be getting stored and from where i can pick it up right?
Your inputs will be of great help,
Thanks.

Cannot enter symbols other than numbers into cell

I'm using a JTable with custom TableModel. All editable cells accept numbers (0..9), but does not accept any other symbols (letters, special symbols such as "," or "." etc).
I'm sure the solution to let my JTable accept other symbols ist very simple, but I just cant find which component or class controlls this!
There ist no data type validation in my TableModel:
    public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
            data[row][col] = value;
            fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
        }

No I didn't!
I'm using this code to do a "doClick()" on a JTable cell when component with the table is shown to enter editing mode.
But when I double click on a cell, there must be other (standard???) editor being evoked to edit the cell, right?

Symbol speech recognition program appears on desktop when starting parallels

Hello,
when I start parallels, the symbol of the voice recognition program appears on the desktop. I can't remove this symbol from the desktop. Doubleclick only moves the symbol from the desktop to the dock.
I checked the system setup "speech" of my mac:
"voice/speech recognition" and "voice over" are deactivated. So it seems that the setups of windows XP operating system and/or parallels (working tools) are causing this.
How can I remove this symbol? It' s annoying.
Thank you for your reply.

I found it. The parallels settings are linked with the systemsettings on the Mac. So I looked at: Parallels > settings > enhanced > speech > deactivate spoken commands.
