Great shortcut for periods and commas!

Apologies if this is has been posted previously, but found it so useful think it warrants repeating!
Basically, you can type a period with ease if you simply press the ‘.?123’ key, then keep your finger on the screen and just slide it up and over a bit to the period when the numeric keypad appears. Amazingly, this key reacts as soon as your finger touches it (no lifting required), and the numeric keypad will automatically disappear when it does, leaving you right back where you started with the normal keyboard active—and with a period in your document! And instead of multiple taps, it took but one.
It works for the comma as well, you just change the angle of the "slide".

This tip is really, really great.
Apple should document this... With this, there's no need for any changes to the keyboard layout...
This little slide move works fast and perfectly every time... (And works for any of the NON ABC keys too)

Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics.

Hi,
I've come across this problem in which Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics. I try pressing the short cut for Command + B or Command + I
but it does not affect the text at all. I have to move my cursor to the Bold or Italic icon to change a particular word's form.
Of note, Command + U allows me to underline a word just fine. I also write my mail in the default Helvetica, and in size 12.
Anyone know of a solution? I'm pretty sure it's just a glitch, but it's become a great annoyance for me.
Thanks for your help!

Possible to control space after periods and commas?

There's a font i'd like to use as a body text font, but sometimes the spaces after periods and commas are inadequate. Is there a way to control this in InDesign? or must this be resolved by manipulating the font in a font editor?
thanks
Kurt Hoffman

but sometimes the spaces after periods and commas are inadequate...
I'm not sure either solution will really work well with justified text.
When you say sometimes, it sounds like your text is justified and the space after periods is variable. Peter's GREP solutions would track the space after a period but the amount would still be variable when the text is justified. So you could also look at the Justification setting for the style:
The default Justification setting which allows a significant difference between min and max word spacing, and no difference in letter spacing:
Changing the Word Spacing to 90% | 100% | 120% and the letter spacing to -2% | 0% | 2% creates a more consistent space after the periods.

Custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4?

Is there a way to set custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4? When I change my keyboard shortcuts preferences for Photoshop, they don't change for these filter interfaces. Is there another way?

what is the problem ??
I tried to change the shortcut for the Vanishing Point and Liquify from
Edit -> keyboard shortcuts(button) -> keyboard shortcuts (tab) -> filter (tab)
and you will find these filters :
double click on it and make a new shortcut
but it MUST be Ctrl + (any letter) or you can make it Ctrl + Alt + (any letter)
but if you made it just one lettre like S for example
you will can't make a shortcut.
hope I understood what you ment ???

Agreed. Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

DW 2014.1 keyboard shortcuts for "Code and Design" gone

Option has disappeared for setting keyboard shortcuts specifically for "Code and Design" (or plain Design either, for that matter)? Split Code option just gives you two code windows and all the other options in Shortcuts are for Live View, not Design view.

Alt-F11 does not help me in this situation because you still cannot toggle between showing Code and Design versus all Code, or all Design. Live options have replaced Design options, but even then, you cannot make a shortcut for Code and Live (though it's available in the View menu). This screen shot shows what has disappeared.
Again: Ctl + ` does not toggle the VIEW, it toggles the active PANE.

Shortcuts for Batch and Image Processor in Bridge CS6

I use Batch and Image Processor all the time, and I'd like to use a shortcut.
Can you tell me if there is a shortcut or how I can program one?
I set up shortcuts for those two commands in Photoshop, but they don't work in Bridge.
I remember from the time I started with Photoshop and had Deke McClelland's book with his set of shortcuts. There was a shortcut that worked with image processor, but it was just a set you did install and no explanation. When I moved to a different computer and a newer version of Photoshop, these keys got lost.
Is there any way to automate Batch and Image Processor?

There is no way to economically batch process in Bridge without having to go thorough sub-menus.
I'm sorry you can't get it to work, but on my system it works flawless.
Testing a bit more it seems you don't need to use a unique shortcut at all. I also tried to use the shortcut for Batch I created in PS itself to get the Batch window to front for running actions on open files. For me that is [control + Cmd + B] but feel free to find an other one.
When I discovered you don't need the unique shortcut at all I used the same shortcut for Bridge CC. . Also created [Control + Cmd + i] for the Image processor.
Both started without problems.
To extend I also created both same shortcuts for Bridge CS6. This also was working correctly, off course, having only PS CC open using the shortcut in Bridge CS6 it auto started PS CS6.
So can you specify a bit more about what OS you are using on what computer (I have OSX 10.8.4 on a MacPro 2012)
Some screenshots to show the shortcuts in System prefs and how the show in the Bridge Submenus:

Handling DB sequences for create and commit actions on ADF tables

Hello,
Most of the tables will have sequences used for primary keys and there will be columns like created_On and created_By columns. But my table does not require user inputs for these columns. So when commit button is clicked on the table how to handle these columns. The commit action should refer the sequence and enter SYSDATE and username for created_on and created_by columns.
what is the workaround for this ?
Thanks.

Use groovy expressions as default values for the EO fields - adf.currentDate and adf.context.securityContext.getUserName()
For the sequence see the ADF documentation:

MacBook keyboard -shortcut for HOME and END function on the keyboard?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to trigger the HOME and END button which normally is placed on a PC keyword, I can't find any shortcut for it?
I'm running bootcamp with windows vista on my MacBook 13'1
Hope that some can help
Cheers,

Not sure about Pro, but on my MacBook (Leopard 10.5.6):
In Word
= fn + right or left arrow keys only take me to the "home" or "end of the particular line I'm on.
= fn + up or down do the same as the MS "pg up" or "pg dn"
= fn + command + (arrow keys) take me to the very beginning or end of the document (Word or Excel).
In Excel
= command + right or left jumps to the next cell that has info in it (skips empty cells)
= command + up or down jumps to the beginning or end of adjacent cells with info in them.
= fn + right doesn't do anything
= fn + left takes me to the beginning of whatever row I'm in.
= fn + up and down are the same as pg up and pg dn. So is command + up or down arrow.
= fn + command + left arrow takes you to the beginning of the document (same as "Cntrl + Home")

COPA for Royalties and commissions

Hi All,
At the client, we pay royalties & commission based on the merchandize we sell and we calculate the margins based on the same. When a sales order gets raised... depending upon the shipment/fulfillment of the order the invoice gets raised and as per the invoice the royalties & commission need to be calculated. That reflects the exact amount on balance sheet. i was checking the COPA extractor tables (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4... Considering the issue i certainly can not use COPA for royalties & commission reporting, as royalties & commission is calculated based on sales order and NOT whether the order is fulfilled/partially filled/never executed etc.. What is the solution to this ? How do i get commissions and royalties only when the invoice is raised and not when Sales order is created.
Thanks,
Syed

Hi, you will normally let royalties and commissions be handled by SD. In SD they have some nice features for controlling these things incl. settlement, prepayments, calculations of the exact amount to be transferred to CO-PA!
The calculation of royalties and commissions should be handled by the SD priceschema where you assign all kind of fields, amounts, numbers etc. And if that is not enough can they use TA VOFM to create the calculation you need!
Depending on its a make-to-stock scenario will the figures be transferred to CO-PA on the billing time (invoice) or in or made-to-order scenarios when the production orders/sales orders are settled.
What is left in CO-PA is to assign the values to relevant CO-PA values fields so the bottom-line is; its possible to report royalties and commissions in CO-PA (you might need to make a report in reportpainter).
Have in mind that the main setup of royalties and commissions are to be found in the SD setup of rebates!

How to set mac shortcuts (for mac and windows OS)

i am having a bit of an issue.
i run windows 7 and mac os on the same computer on different hard drives in this computer. i also have a "mac" keyboard. i am not sure how this may be different from a "windows keyboard" but the point is i need to use this keyboard because it matches the one on my laptop which is a mac.
when i switch to windows on this machine i always end up deleting information because the CMD + X and CMD + V cut and paste shortcuts on Mac OS are not the same in windows. windows requires (currently) CTRL + X and CTRL + V. so when i got to cut and paste in windows CTRL + X (this is my habitual way of working) and then i run a CTRL + V i end up writing /over/ the text i selected with a "x" and i end up pasting /over/ the text i selected to paste over with a "v". this is because instead of running a cut and paste, this set of shortcuts in windows simply enters "x" and "y" respectively since the shortcut is not active.
does anyone know where i set these in windows OS and in mac OS?
also, does anyone know if it is possible to set how many UNDOS i can do in either of these OS's or to know how many i can in fact undo?
THANKS
long story background:
1. while i may move to a windows keyboard on the computer i am using (because the mac keyboards these days end up losing keys and they end up very wobbly) i cannot do this for the laptop machine so this may not make a lot of sense if i end up also running windows on the laptop which is my intention at some point.
2. CTRL + X is a very long stretch on the mac keyboard so rather than switching mac shortcuts to accommodate windows shortcuts i am thinking to switch windows shortcuts to mac ATM.
3. this is no small issue! i just went to copy and paste this text so i could save it for myself in order to explain to someone else and i ended up overwriting with a "c". if i had not thought fast and remembered to UNDO by hitting CTRL - X and not CMD - X i might have lost all my work.

long delay - no email of your post here
I also realise that you can use system preferences - Keyboard - modifier keys to make cmd = ctrl or vice versa
I'd surely ask/read elsewhere about altering windows, given the reach issue - but no qualms beyond confusion if switching/using other machines. You might soon find you switch layouts mentally, quite easily.

Pcmanfm alt+arrow shortcuts for "back" and "cd ../" not working

A recent update must have stopped this from working for me. In previous versions, alt+up arrow caused me to go up a directory level, and alt+left arrow caused me to go back to whatever directory I had previously been in. Now alt only causes lines to appear underneath the menu items (as to show what alt+letter combo would open the menu).
Is this occurring on anyone else's pcmanfm?
pcmanfm-mod-nohal has the correct alt+arrow key functionality... so not sure where the breakage is coming from.

2ManyDogs wrote:I'm sorry no one has answered your posts, but it's probably because no one has any good ideas for you. I have pcmanfm running on two Arch machines and I don't have this problem with either one of them.
Thanks for the suggestions. Responses below
2ManyDogs wrote:1. Did you do anything or install anything right before this problem started (you mentioned an update -- do you remember anything particular that was updated at that time)?
Unfortunately not. My recollection is that pcmanfm was updated, but who knows what else might have come along with it?
2ManyDogs wrote:2. What window manager are you using? Have you tried installing a different window manager to see if the problem persists? On my machine pcmanfm works fine in spectrwm but the keyboard shortcuts do not work at all in cwm.
I'm using Openbox. I could try another DE/WM, but would prefer not to. I may just to check.
2ManyDogs wrote:3. Have you tried a different file manager? If you are unable to fix this problem, could you live with thunar or spacefm instead of pcmanfm?
I really don't like spacefm's left side navigation behavior. Clicking over there just takes you to the folder, but you can't up/down arrow to navigate the tree, at least that I've figured out.
2ManyDogs wrote:4. Have you tried removing and reinstalling pcmanfm?
Inherently, yes, as I've tried other fm's, I've uninstalled it. I could try removing it and any configs though. On that note, I just installed pcmanfm in a virtualbox installation of Arch that I've barely touched so far on my work Windows machine. It should have minimal configs set up. I get the same behavior.
2ManyDogs wrote:5. Are you using systemd? Did you start using systemd around the same time as the problem started?
I'm not familiar with this. It's installed, but from my perusing of the Arch Wiki, it looks like I'd have to activate it somehow. I have not added systemd to my init line of grub or syslinux.
2ManyDogs wrote:6. Are you using any keyboard-trapping utilities, such as xbindkeys?
Don't think so. I don't have xbindkeys installed. I checked my rc.conf for openbox to see if I had anything. The closest was Ctrl+Alt+Up to switch to the last workspace, but commenting that out and re-loading openbox did not fix the issue.
2ManyDogs wrote:7. You mention that the problem went away for a while -- what did you do right before it went away, and right before it came back?
Don't recall this either. I should have taken better notes! My memory vaguely recalls something having to do with numlock, but that's not doing anything anymore.
2ManyDogs wrote:8. You say "pcmanfm-mod-nohal has the correct alt+arrow key functionality" -- this is probably significant, but I'm not exactly sure how.
Yup -- mod-nohal works. Thanks for reminding me of this, as I'll probably just switch to it for now. I don't know if there was a reason I didn't just stick with that. Perhaps anal retentiveness at wanting to know the source of the issue.

User-defined Favorites or Shortcuts for Reports and Schedules

Hi experts,
A client was inquiring whether it's possible to for an end-user to create shortcuts or favorites to frequently used reports within BPC. I know it's possible to use the BPFs or presumably the custom menu tools to create links. Is there a solution that anyone has used that allows end-users (rather than those customizing) to create shortcuts?
I also tried the "locking" the Excel frequently used file menu but that does not register BPC reports.
2) Any difference or incremental functionality in version 10?
Thanks
Eyal Feiler

Hi Eyal,
Using BPF or custom menu is possible. Hoewever, these can not be maintained by the end-user, this will have to be done by the admin, therfore this will not meet your requirements. There is only one option in BPC 7.0/7.5 that might help: the end-user can save the concerning reports in the 'My Reports' folder, disadvantage is that these reports are not maintained centrally, so in case of any changes in reports/schedules they should be copied to the My Reports folder manually.
BPC10 will have some major improvements in this area, with the option to create personal 'workspaces' where links to spcific tasks/reports/schedules can be made and maintained.

How to disable keyboard shortcut for Type-And-Transfer

Hi,
I'm trying to create a macro in Excel that I want to use the ctrl+shft+h keyboard shortcut. However, Lenovo's Type-and-Transfer tool has hijacked that shortcut so everytime I try to use the shortcut within Excel it launches the Type-and-Transfer tool. I've looked everywhere and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to disable this keyboard shortcut from launching the Type-and-Transfer tool. Anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
jd

Hi,
here is what I would check in:
Registry:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LENOVO
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo
<sorry as I don't havea system with this shortcut type I cannot find the exact same key combination>
My second thought is going more in the direction of an application, that is called Keyboard Customizer
Try this one, if that will fit your request.
Let me know any update, that you can give on this situation.
Cheers

Great App for Facebook and Twitter addicts

HI guys, Ive just updated the Socially app to the latest version, OUtstanding.
It offers a new tab within contacts for your social networking contacts and allows you to click on them and display their Wall posts.
It will also download your contacts profile picture and add them to their details.
On the X6 homescreen it even updates your favourite 20 contacts pic to the homescreen.
Its the best widget I have seen, mine automatically updates every hour and pops up a bubble on my screen and scrolls thru the last 15 updates on my FB account.
Well worth an install from ovi
