F10 key and focus lost

When I press the F10 key in Windows on a JavaFX program the focus goes to the titleBar, you can see it if you press Return later. Is there any way to disable this functionality?, I use keyboard accelerators and F10 key can't be used because of this behaviour.
Thanks in advance

I know that it's the default behaviour that's way I discover where was the focus after pressing F10. I have changed my keyboard accelerators to not use F10 key but if it's pressed the focus goes to the title bar (if you don't have a menu) and in my case, I use an undecorated window so is more difficult to see it. If you press return key after F10 you will get the window menu popup.
It will be great to be able to control this...

F9 and F10 keys and my Logitech Mouse

I've been using the wireless Logitech Mouse with my iMac G5 and have got all my buttons set juuuuuust the way I like them. I recently got the PB G4 17" and I am trying to set my mouse buttons like my iMac G5. I having problems with the F9 and F10 keys ( all windows and application windows ) When I press them the keyboard illumination thingy pops up. If I look in keyboard shortcuts in system preferences F9 and F10 are set for all windows and app. windows?? two actions for the same buttons??

To use the F9 and F10 keys to control Exposé, you need to do one of two things:
- Press the fn key with F9 and/or F10
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard and check the box 'Use F1-F12 keys to control software features' and use the fn key with F9 and/or F10 to control the keyboard backlighting. If you check that box, then Exposé will behave in the same way it does on your iMac wrt your mouse buttons.

F7 - F10 keys

hi.
i always used a separate keyboard, but on the new macbook pro that i bought, the F7 - F10 keys seem to be blocked. If i set up spaces, so that it expands into the various desktops by pressing F8, it doesnt work. It's just blocked. If i press F9 i just get this icon on the screen similar to the rays of the F1-F2 keys for display lighting .. but it doesnt do anything.
Any help?
I tried going on preferences, and fiddling with the keyboard&mouse options but nothing
Thanks
Francesco

Hold down the fn key in the bottom left corner, then press them. Or, go into System Preferences and check "Use all F1, F2...keys as standard function keys."

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

rajlego,
in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

TS1381 My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226). I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, test all other keys with keyboard view (all others work) - HELP!!

My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow).
In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work.
I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
Here is the kicker! In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
thanks and regards

I would also like to add that I've reverted the two cd drive and hard drive mods I did and the laptop is back to factory hardware and there is 0 corrosion or mold visible.

Sound keys on keyboard no longer control sound. What should I do to fix this?

Sound keys on keyboard no longer control sound. What should I do to fix this?

Hey Bill,
Check to see if the option for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." is turned off. When it is turned on, you would need to hold the Fn key while hitting one of those keys will make it work they way icons are displayed. To find out where this option is, go to System Preferences > Keyboard and in the Keyboard tab is where you want to be. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

The ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard is a Bluetooth keyboard that the manufacturer states is "compatible with most IOS devices" but does not list Apple TV specifically, though the the different IPADS that are compatible are listed.
I did contact the manufacturer through an online Sales Associate Chat on their website and ironically they could not answer me. They did take my email and stated they will research and get back to me. That was only yesterday, 10/7/13 so I will give it a few days.
I know there are other keyboards available, so maybe I will just research a little more.

F10 Key not working in Web Browser mode

I created a click box on a CP5 screen and assigned F10 as the Shortcut key and the action is "Go to the next slide." When the user presses F10 the demo would advance to the next screen.
This works great in preview mode. However, when in Web Browser mode, nothing happens except I get this message at the bottom of the screen, "Contains commands for working with selected item."
How do I get the F10 key to work (action desired: advance to the next screen in my demo) in browser mode?

Hi there
LIkely it depends on the browser, but some keys are always reserved for use by the browser itself and they cannot be used as shortcut keys by a Captivate SWF because the browser will intercept them and not pass them on to the SWF.
I'm not sure if F10 is among those keys, but it may well be.
This would likely beg the question of why Captivate would allow you to assign a shortcut key if if wouldn't work when you publish and play in the browser. And for that I would remind you that SWF output is just one of the ouputs Captivate may produce. If you published as EXE, you aren't bound by browser behavior and the key would likely work just dandy.
Cheers... Rick
