  • Disable Function Key F3 in Internet Explorer

    I would like to disable function keys F1 and F3 while playing
    my flash movie in internet explorer. I am using these keys within
    Flash to do some actions.
    I got the script working for Function Key F1 using the
    following script
    <script language="javascript">
    document.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
    window.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
    </script>
    But unable to make it to work for function key F3.
    Thanks in advance,
    Desmond

    Hi des_shun, I have workaround for this issue.
    First thing we have to do is disable keyboard event for F3 key on HTML document so that even if focus is on html document, default Search functionality will not popup. Next thing is, flash must contain KeyboardEvent listener for keyboard response. This is where we will keep our custom F3 functionality. This setting works well on Chrome & FireFox.
    Now IE thing.
    The prolem with IE is that if any one of F3, F5, F6,F7 & F11 key is pressed, when the focus is on flash movie it directly executes the default browser functions like searching, refreshing etc never allowing flash to execute its keyeventlistener. But if focus is on document body, then F3 and other keys work fine.
    Here is the catch.
    All we have to do is whenever focus is shifted to flash, we should revert that focus to document body.
    Here is how we can do this.
    Capture the MouseClick event in your flash movie. Then in this mouseclick event handler, call  javascript function to change focus to document again. Below is the sample code.
    //Flash Code
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mClick);
    function mClick(event:MouseEvent)
              ExternalInterface.call("changeFocus");
    // Javascript Code
    <script type="text/javascript"</script>
              function changeFocus()
                             document.body.focus();
        </script>
    Thats it!

  • Disabling Function Keys in Select Applications

    Long ago in an OS far away, I knew how to disable the function keys so I could map them as I chose in my mappable apps. I know this was — at the time — a terminal command, but I just can't remember it. I would settle for knowing how to do that again, but what I would really like is the ability to either quickly turn on and off the Mac default uses for the function keys or, better yet, have it turn off in certain apps.
    I've tried the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys," button in the Keyboard & Mouse System Settings, but I don't see where that has any sort of effect. The reference there to the 'fn' key makes me think it's only for laptops. Do I have to restart the app or the computer? Will that do what I'm looking for?
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    yes, it does have an effect. it lets you use F-keys as regular keys and map them to what you want.
    The reference there to the 'fn' key makes me think it's only for laptops.
    no, this is for any keyboard that has a fn key. if you have it on your keyboard then you get that checkbox in keyboard system preferences. if you don't have it the checkbox won't even show up. when the box is checked you have to hold fn to get the functionality of the F-keys written on them. otherwise they act as regular keys that can be mapped to whatever you want. you can do this in system preferences->keyboard&mouse->keyboard shortcuts.

  • Disabling function keys

    Hi friends,
    Is there any way to disable all the function keys in my forms 10g application?
    Regards
    Jeneesh

    Function keys allow also to suppress a record in a block (DELETE_RECORD) or to create a new one (INSERT_RECORD), or to change the current record (KEY-NXTREC, KEY-PRVREC) for example. If you deactive every function keys, the end user will not be able to change the current record with the keyboard.

  • Help! Function Keys not working

    For some reason my F1-F10 keys (brightness, volume, num, etc.) have stopped working. F11 and F12 are set to Expose and Dashboard. Has anyone experienced this? I have no idea how to troubleshoot, perhaps I need to clean underneath the keys with an air spray?? Thanks!

    The first thing i would check is in the Keyboard and mouse prefs pane to see if you selected to use the function keys for software features. If so, you need to use the fn key(bottom left of keyboard0 with the function keys to use those hardware functions. Then check to see that the num lock key isn't on, which usually affects the keyboard.
    If it's neither one of those, it is probably hardware. Could be a loose wire if you lifted up keyboard at all.

  • S440 - Disable Function Key Indicator Light

    S440 - Fn key swapped with Ctrl (set in bios) and function lock ON (now the Ctrl key + Esc).
    I really like it this way but that little yellow light on the Fn key is really annoying. Other than a bit of black electrical tape, is there anyway to kill that light? (while retaining function lock ON) 
    I'm looking for registry tweaks rather than physically removing and killing the light.

    I have a ThinkPad T440s, and have the FnLock function enabled but the indicator (in the Fn button) remains OFF. And when I turn the FnLock fuction OFF the indicator remains ON. I think it's suppose to work in the opposite way.
    Also hate the possition of the FN and Ctrl keys, it would be muco better if they are used the other way around as in most of the computers and keybords. Hope they can improve that. If any one knows how to change it I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks

  • Querying problem - FRM-41009 :Function Keys not allowed.. DIFFERENT!!

    amazin place ..this is... learned a lot from this place when it comes to developing oracle forms.... just such a lot of support... the issue at hand... yes
    the problem im facing is when im querying in my form.. it keeps giving me the FRM-41009 error. however it does execute the query and even i can find records by entering a value, so it really doesnt affect the functionality of the system. but the problem is this, if i search for something non-existent, then the error gets displayed in its pretty little box smack in the middle of the screen.. ruins the entire thing... and then at the bottom i see the 'query didnt return anythin' message.
    im extending an existing system which is not documented and everything is all compiled and stuff and im using some of their libraries.
    im sure somewhere there is a little bit of code that is disabling function keys.. but i dont seem to understand why must that be affected by a little button on my control bar and basically i just need to get rid of the darned message..
    so is there a workaround this???
    experts of the forums .... HELP!!!
    cheers

    thanks for the quick response prashant and greg..
    it works now..
    ok.. but is it also possible to make an error/message to appear?
    for example now, my 'query didnt match anything' message is displayed at the bottom.. id like to have it come in a window in the middle of the screen

  • Disabling the F1 Windows Help and Support key

    Hello! I see there's lots of people that have been having this problem, but I felt I was in a unique (HA) position in that I have a Windows 8 OS, so the problem can't be solved following the steps to a Windows 7 solution. I've tried several things.
    First off, background; I have an HP 2000 laptop running Windows 8. I have wanted to use the function keys in a video game, but they were set as macromedia function priority. I went into BIOS and switched the action keys to DISABLED so that I could use FN+F
    Key in order to use the macromedia, and instead they revert to normal function. This is fine. BUT: It only worked for F2-F12. The F1 key is still mapped to open Windows Help and Support. I've tried to rename the helppane.exe (I am admin but only "Trusted
    Installer" can modify the file), and ran into problems. SO I tried to follow the steps to use regedit to block the helppane.exe, but the .exe isn't located where it is on a Windows 7 machine. 
    I have been working to try to find a solution to this problem for going on hours now, with no recourse. ANY solutions would be very welcome. Thank you. 

    You sure you already save after changing setting in BIOS
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02035108&cc=id&dlc=en&lc=en
    If yes, find your model in HP site and find the update BIOS, update your BIOS, and try again
    since this PC OEM. HP will provide better answer for you, and if you keyboard also comes with extra software I suggest to uninstall it first to check

    Hi fellow apple guys, i have this problem. Hope you can help me. I don't know how to use the function keys (F1 to F12) on my macbook air. Pls help

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.
