Function and Mouse Shortcut Keys for Exposé Reset Frequently

I have been noticing, recently, that my keyboard and mouse shortcuts for exposé and dashboard reset almost every day. It happens most frequently after I run World of Warcraft or fullscreen with VLC (which I have set to use the first 5 function keys but not F9-F12, which I have set for exposé and dashboard). It will happen regardless of what I do, but more frequently when i run fullscreen applications. Is there anything I can do to stop it? Because I hate sitting down to my computer, wanting to check the weather or show the desktop and having to go to system preferences to turn the shortcuts back on. Thanks for any help.

I found the problem. You either have to play WoW full screen (completely) or unbind the bag buttons from the key bindings menu. Then reassign the buttons in Settings.

Nope, I doubt it. As I said:
I disabled Aero theme, checked font scaling was 100% and rebooted Windows in between all of the steps to no avail.
I've been reading a lot around this and it seems the arrow key problem is a red herring; I think it's just some kind of terminal preferences corruption.

Robohelp Shortcut keys for styles

RH8 HTML
Just wondering if theres a way to set shortcut keys for styles, similar to how you can do it in MS Word.
Just makes formatting etc so much faster, instead of having to use the mouse and click around.
I see I can set shortcuts to do other RH functions, like create new topics etc....but nothing for text formatting.
Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick
RoboHelp has always offered the following:
Ctrl+Alt+1 Applies Heading 1
Ctrl+Alt+2 Applies Heading 2
Ctrl+Alt+3 Applies Heading 3
Ctrl+Shift+N Applies Normal
Aside from that, perhaps use something like Macro Express to create a macro you could use.

How to set Shortcut keys for button in Apex

Hi
Could anyone help me on how to set shortcut keys for buttons in Apex.
I need to use say ALT + S to submit the page.
The following thread pertaining to HTML DB refered to use ACCESS key. but that couldnt work in my case.
Re: operation of the app. with the keyboard
Any pointers on achieving this would be helpful.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I’m afraid you must do it using javascript key listener. You can’t use action() on template based buttons because they are actually not HTML buttons but images with hyperlink.
Key listener checks which key has been pressed down and invoke some JS function. For example, write this code in page header:
<script>
document.onkeydown=keyCheck;
function keyCheck(e){
     var KeyId = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
     switch(KeyId){
          case 113:
               doSubmit('SAVE');
               break;
          case 118:
               alert('Hello');
               break;
</script>
This script will submit page with request 'SAVE' if you press F2 or will show alert message if you press F7. Modify it to your issue.

Przemek

Disable shortcut keys for Universal Access

At our school we have a bit of an issue with students using keyboard shortcuts to set the Universal Access options (usually to Black on White, but also Zoom and VoiceOver), which freaks out the next student using the computer. I'd like to disable the shortcut keys for those settings. Are there ARD Unix commands that would do it?

Hello Francois,
Thank you for your fast reply!
I tried your recommendation, but got the following result:
When I have a label of "& OK" with the blank symbol as ALT-255, the Button in the Alert Box still has the focus. It seems as if there now is a blank in front of the OK (which is underlined). This does not really solve my issue, because the Button still has the focus and that should not be. The best solution for the user would be if he only could accept the message with a mouse klick.
Is there an other suggestion?
Thank you so much!

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.

Non numeric keyboard - I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth

I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth - like Page Up, Page Down etc, but the new Apple wireless keyboard hasn't got the numeric keypad.
Are there alternative shortcut keys for Page Up/Down? Or can I programme any of the Function keys to do that instead?

You can create custom shortcuts pretty easily. Here is an article that explains how to do it:

Is There a Shortcut Key for Change/Find ?

Hello and thanks in advance,
Using the InDesign CS-5 Find/Change feature, I am always using the Change/Find button.
*** Is there a way to create a shortcut key for this option, Change/Find ? ***
Since I use it so often, it would be good if it could be one of the "F" keys: F1, F2 or whatever.
I looked under "Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts" ... but I could not find the option Change/Find there. Did I miss it ?
Thanks again,
Zorba

Here is what I have now done, based on the suggestions above:
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/robinwhitman/tech_support/id-edit-keyboard-shortcut s.jpg
As you can see from the screen shot above,
I have opened up the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu,
Product Area: Text and Tables
In the Commands window I have selected:
=====================
Grep Replace wth Change to text and Find next
==============
Now at this point, suppose I want to make the shortcut to activate this, the F4 key.
I click to put the cursor into the cursor into the box that says, New Shortcut
and then if I press "F4", it seems to be already taken by the Snow Leopard OS ... on my screen appears the Weather, calculator, calendar and clock.
So I cannot assign the key and create the shortcut.
Am I close to the goal here, or am I on the wrong track ?
Thanks ... Zorba

Shortcut key for Firefox icon won't start multiple sessions

If is set up a shortcut key for the desktop icon to start firefox, it can start one but not multiple windows/sessions of firefox. I want it to start a new firefox window, just like I can with IE, even if firefox is already running. How can I fix this?

Which I did, removing all personal data. (second time)

Once again , many thanks , for your time and effort to help.

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse how to for XP Bootcamp

The promise of running Windows XP was marred by my inability to get the wireless keyboard to function in Windows during startup. Judging by the number of posts on this issue, I am not the only one who is frustrated. While didling with this issue I developed a sure fire, if somewhat un-Apple and in-elegant, way to get them to work.
First you need to create a driver disk using the latest version of Bootcamp (I used version 1.1.1) and install them under XP using a wired keyboard and mouse.
Now re-install the Apple Bluetooth drivers to make sure you have the latest version:
1. Boot into Microsoft Windows.
2. Open the Control Panel and select Bluetooth Devices.
3. In the Hardware Tab, click Apple Built–In Bluetooth.
4. Click the Properties button.
5. Click the Driver tab.
6. Click the Update Driver button and the Hardware Update Wizard will appear.
7. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)".
8. Deselect "Search Removable media".
9. Select "Include this location this search".
10. Click Browse.
11. Navigate to c:/Program Files/Macintosh Drivers for Win XP/BthKicker/
12. Once the update is done, reboot.
Next we need to add the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (and wireless Mighty Mouse if you have).
1. If you are using a desktop Mac, connect a wired USB mouse and keyboard.
2. In windows, open the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth Devices".
3. Turn Bluetooth Discovery to "On"
4. Make sure your Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is on.
5. Click the Devices Tab.
6. Click the "Add"button.
7. When the "Welcome to the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" window appears, select the "My device is set up and ready to be found" checkbox, then click Next.
8. Locate the keyboard in the list the Wizard provides, then click Next.
9. Connect and select the "Let me choose my own passkey" option.
10. Enter "0000", then click Next.
When the process has completed successfully, you will see this message: "The Bluetooth device was successfully connected". You should now be able to use your keyboard.
On your next reboot in Windows, the logon screen will come up and neither your wireless mighty mouse or wireless keyboard will work. To activate the mouse, click one of it's buttons once or twice and it will start after a couple of seconds. unfortunately keyclicks will not start the keyboard.
To get it to activate, turn the keyboard upside down and use the switch to turn the keyboard off and back on again. Wait about 6 seconds and voila! As I said, not elegant, but definately a lot better than having 2 keyboards. It would be nice if Apple could modify the firmware to start the keyboard when a key is pressed, just like the mouse.
Have fun!

Here's what apple recommends:
