well, why I should be looking for some 3rd party solution or hack anything when built-in tool should work ?! And it has worked some time before-this makes me sad....
The another thing is that for me, even turning off screen stopped working. Well, after pushing power off button it appears, but computer immediatelly switches off...You can't choose any option from it.
Just beautifull...

Problems with key shortcuts after kernel update (can't shutdown wifi)

Hi! Sorry for my poor english!
I have 2 problems on my laptop that went out after a kernel update; the first one involves the wireless card (Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01), but I don't think it is important): when I press the key shortcut it switches off only partially, the led remains lighted and with "rfkill list all" i get that is actually only software blocked.
The second problem is about the key shortcut to switch off the screen: even with xev it isn't recognised anymore.
I am pretty sure the 2 problems are related; the latest kernel with they were working is 3.5.6-1, in fact if I downgrade to that version I haven't got any problem.
I have encountered this issue with 3 models of Asus EEEPC: 1015pd (mine), 1215b and 1015cx, (the first two with AR9285, the third with AR9485).
Thanks for the help ;-)

Command key shortcuts don't work anymore in Safari since upgrade to Yosemite!

Hi,
I recently upgraded the MacOSX to Yosemite. Since this moment Safari doesn't work properly anymore, because the command key shortcuts are out of order.
Cmd + Q
Cmd + C
Cmd + V
Cmd + X
These are now the key shortcuts I've noticed that aren't working anymore. Other apps (a part from Firefox) don't seem to have these problems.
In the meantime I have to use the mouse cursor and choose from the menu bar.
Apple support wasn't able to help me! They just gave me the advice force quit Safari and restart it while pushing the ALT-key. Result: Nothing!
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regard,

That is rather odd if they are all visible as shortcut commands.
Here are some more tests to do…
1) Disable all your Safari Extensions & retest (in Safari Preferences).
2) Logout of the account (from the Apple menu). At the login window enter your password & hold shift as you click the login button. Keep it held until the Desktop has become usable. This disables 'User login items' - retest. Logout after testing.
3) Try a safe boot… OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Does it still happen in safe mode? This disables third party extensions & some inessential Apple system extensions - things will not be normal, however the Mac should be 'functional', test as much as you can.
Post the results of those here, it may give us a better idea where to look.

Nokia e71 menu key not working

i recently updated the firmware of my phone, connecting to the computer using ovi. Now the problem is, when the menu key (left selection and home button) is pressed the menu doesnt open. This doesnt happen in the begining, but after some time it happens, and then onwards the menu doesnt open. Please give me a solution.

Reset the E71. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

E71: Key Shortcuts -- OPERATOR LIVE

LOL! Of course; no wonder you're called the Professor!
On my phone it says TBusiness above the blue line on the right side. I clicked on it and it took me via the internet connection to my telephone service provider's internet home page, eg BigPond. Of course, as Operator Live, it made no sense to me!
Thank you for your quick reply. And, yes, I will keep it!

some one's email id is displaying on the update menu of the app store what was that

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

Menu key not available on app

New owner of S5 after having S3. Notice that the menu key brings up loaded apps not the menu for the app what the s3 home key did when held down. Lot of apps don't have the new style menu.

OK, so when you press the unlock icon that has flashed up, does the phone not select the homescreen?
Yes, it does. I have an update though. I left the phone switched off all night and when I restarted it this morning the button is working again! Very confusing as I restarted it countless times yesterday after the problem first emerged.
However, I now have another problem with the unit though where the battery is only lasting about 4 hours. There is an incredible amount of heat on the back of the phone.
I will post it as a new thread....
Ilove nokias but they do have a habit of behaving like this. Frustrating.

Problems with the BBkey (also known as the menu key)

Sometimes when I am in an app and want to click on one of the items in the menu list (e.g., delete), when I click on the menu key, what pops up are some of the icons from the home page. (I am getting really tired of looking at that little penguin....). If i persist, I can usually get the menu option to pop up, but it's annoying. I am pretty sure it is a software problem. I had this problem after some time on my first Tour. I had to replace that because of other issues. I used the Device Switch Wizard to transfer everything, so I guess it also transferred whatever is causing this issue.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas about what to do? I don't want to re-install the OS-- I'd rather put up with the problem. Thanks.
Liz
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi again!
The BBKey/Menu key has two functions...
1) To bring up a context-sensitive menu for the app you are in
2) To bring up the app-switcher ribbon (a list of all of your currently running apps so that you can quickly change to a different app)
The difference is how long you hold the key down. For 1, it's a quick press and release. For 2, it's a hold down. Sometimes, it gets it wrong, but with practice you will be able to get what you want most of the time (not 100% though...I still get the wrong result sometimes).
Hope that helps!

E71 menu key freezes

I purchased the e71 two months back and had everything working perfectly until of lately the menu key and the home key freeze. When pressed all it does is blink and the only way to get the keys working again is to reboot it. this is very irritating as otherwise it is a great phone and extremely good to use.
If it is a software problem; I would sincerely request nokia to come out with an update for the e71, as while trying to hunt for a solution to the above on the internet, I have found quite a few e71 users complaining of the same problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Today I phoned Nokia (call reference 1-2379216082) and was told they know about this problem & are working on a solution.
My phone has been to my service provider 3 times and my emails to Nokia have not been directly responded to.
Nokia are still selling the E71 and do not have a solution to this problem!

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

CFMCPopupMenu is shown multiple times if the menu key (VK_APPS) is pressed multiple times

Hello,
I have a problem with the CFMCPopupMenu in a Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 created MFC DLL (Regular DLL using shared MFC DLL) and in a dialog based MFC application (others I didn't test - maybe in an SDI application too).
If the menu key (VK_APPS) is pressed multiple times, the context menu is created and shown multiple times.
When pressing the Alt (VK_MENU) key or clicking with the mouse buttons the menu is not shown multiple times.
It seems to be bug in CDialogImpl::PreTranslateMessage case WM_CONTEXTMENU where it is tested if a popup menu is already shown
and if there is an active popup menu this popup menu is closed, but only if the pMsg->wParam == VK_MENU.
The problem occurs in a dialog based MFC application and in dialog's in regular DLL's.
In case of MFC MDI applications the problem does not occur,
because in the CFrameImpl::ProcessKeyboard the key is passed to the popup menu for processing pActivePopupMenu->SendMessage(WM_KEYDOWN, nKey); and eaten up.
You can reproduce the problem in the following way:
1. Create a dialog based MFC application with the Visual Studio 2013 wizard.
2. Add a menu IDR_MENU1 to the resource.
3. Add a ON_WM_CONTEXTMENU / OnContextMenu message handler to the dialog.
4. Insert the following code into the OnContextMenu handler of the dialog:
_ASSERT(!CMFCPopupMenu::GetSafeActivePopupMenu());
CMenu m;
m.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1);
CMFCPopupMenu* pPopupMenu = new CMFCPopupMenu;
pPopupMenu->SetAutoDestroy(FALSE);
VERIFY(pPopupMenu->Create(this, 100, 100, m.GetSafeHmenu(), TRUE, TRUE));
5. Compile and start the application and press the Menu Key (VK_APPS) multiple times.
-> You run into the ASSERT.
If you press the Alt-Key or left click with the mouse multiple times all is fine.
You can also add a tracepoint in the constructor and destructor to see that the CMFCPopup menu is created multiple times if the Menu-Key is pressed.
Kind regards,
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
Yes, I can reproduce this issue on my side. After look into the afxdialogimpl.cpp and afxframeimpl.cpp file, It really is a issue in the dialog message translate. I have no workaround to avoid this. But maybe we can try to use
CMenu class and handle WM_RBUTTONDOWN message instead of WM_CONTEXTMENU.
void CMFCPopupMenuTestDlg::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
CMenu menu;
VERIFY(menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1)); //IDR_MENU_POPUP是新建菜单ID
CMenu* popup=menu.GetSubMenu(0);
ClientToScreen(&point);
popup->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, this );
CDialogEx::OnRButtonDown(nFlags, point);
By using this, we can avoid the VK_APP message caused multi pop up menu.
Also have you tried submit this issue to Microsoft connect?

LabVIEW 2011 quick drop ctrl-key shortcuts don't work

I've noticed that none of the Ctrl-Key shortcuts used in the Quick Drop menu work. For example, Ctrl-T doesn't move the terminal labels and Ctrl-R won't remove and rewire. Is there a hidden setting that I have missed?
Thanks!
CLD Certified

I am just now encountering the same problem, only renaming the INI file didn't do the trick like above. As a matter of fact, the INI key "QuickDropKeyboardShortcutMappings" doesn't even exist in either the renamed (bak) or the newly created ini file.
Since I have grown to rely on the handy QD shortcuts this is starting to really annoy me...
I have checked that I can open all the files in the respective LV version (using 2011+2013 and sometimes got these mixed up with the newly saved shortcut VIs when distributing them to all the 4 LV-Quickdrop folders (x86 and x64)).
Funny thing is, the VI lists in the QD plugins folder and the DQ window, shortcut tab, greatly differ, see pictures attached. Any hints? Otherwise I am going to reinstall since a repair didn't help either. Tried that already as well.

Is there another way of getting to the menu, without the menu key!

Hi Everyone
I am embarrassed to say that I managed to drop my blackberry in a cup of tea! Thankfully, it dried out eventually. But, the menu key will now not work
Is there a way of accessing the menu (things such as pics, clock, games etc) without using the menu key itself?
Thanks!
Vix

How long, how many days did you let it dry?
Plus if there was sugar or sweetener in the cup, it could leave gunk or something in the device, you might actually need to use rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts.
Until you decide that....
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

Using Alt+Key shortcuts in Chromeless application makes windows beep

Tell me I'm correct about the following:
It is impossible to use mx:MenuBar with mnemonics and/or have 'Ctrl+Alt+Key' appear in the menu as you can with FlexNativeMenu or NativeMenu.
It is impossible to use any Alt+Key shortcuts to activate a control without Windows® beeping at you when you use the key.
It is impossible to use a s:Button or even an mx:Button with an underlined letter without making a specific skin just for that button.
It is impossible to comprehend why such a standard activation method -- using the Alt+Key would be overlooked by a company leading the pack in RIA or any other type of interface development.
So who is on drugs, I hope it is me and not Adobe.
Wait, don't tell me-- you want me to extend your framework so it includes these fundamental things??

After further research, the way to get around alt-key beeping and get rid of the system menu in a chromeless app is to use:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
and then do some restructuring so your outer client window is now fully transparent and has no skin, and your inner client window is a child who can be moved or sized in its container.
But, this solution does not allow native window states: Minimized, etc. The best you can do is emulate them, but the OS will only see a window that only has one possible state.
Since it has no system/native menu, the OS won't beep on alt+key. I am speaking of windows only, and have no idea what goes on in a Mac environment with this work-around.
