Highlight a text while I'm typing

How can I highlight a text while I'm typing? For example, as soon as the user of my application has typed the word "void" in my JTextPane, the word "void" becomes green. How can I do it? Is it possible with only the class Highlighter (etc.) or the class Document/StyleConstants (etc.)?

Is it possible with only the class Highlighter (etc.) The highlighter highlights the background, not the text.

Mac Selects Text *While* I'm Typing User Password

This is seriously one of the most infuriating things my laptop has decided to do.
Every time I go to type in my password to sign into my mac, my user password, it goes back and reselects the field while I'm typing. The effect is that when I continue typing (as I type my password quickly), the selected portion of text is replaced with whatever my next keystroke is. Essentially, I begin typing my password, my computer selects the text and then replaces the first half of the password with my next keystroke and only half of the password gets entered. It doesn't matter how long I wait or if I select the field intentionally first (though it's always selected so I can begin typing upon opening my mac), the effect is the same. The first time I enter my password, the computer selects the field halfway through, erases the first half, and I enter the password "wrong" and must enter it a second time.
How in the WORLD do I make this stop?

nbar, appreciate your troubleshooting help.
The problem happens both when I log in and/or when I enter the password from my screensaver. Typically, I notice the problem when I am entering the password for my MacBook Pro from the screensaver. Most of the time, the MBP is not connected to anything except my wifi network. I kick in the screensaver when I leave my desk, and I enter my password when I get back.
Yesterday, I noticed the same problem on my MacMini Server. In that case, I screenshared into the MacMini with iTeleport on my iPhone with no problem. When I entered the password to log in from the Login Window with the admin password for the MacMini, the (hidden) letters kept being selected after typing a few, which results in me deleting my previously typed characters as I continue typing. In that case, since I am physically using my iPhone, there is no local admin password.

Not able to view text while typing beyond the top edge of the keyboard

I have an iPad mini with updated iOS 8.1.3 ......
Honestly I was very happy with iOS 7 it was perfect. The iPad was working fast and effortlessly. Just like how any apple product should be.
Until iOS 8 spoiled the show. There are many problems I'm facing after the update, but I want a solution for my major problem.
Problem 1: (Major –Blinded by the Keyboard)
I'm not able to view the body text beyond the edges of the keyboard while I’m typing; may it be in Notes, Pages, Numbers, Keynotes, calendar or any other app, which requires typing. Earlier I could just swipe it up and so it got scrolled to the end of the document. I extensively use notes, Calendar, pages, numbers, and keynote on iPad but sad that I can't see anything, though it is typing beyond the edge of the new keyboard. It's just stuck. Presently I'm copy-pasting, by typing at the beginning of the document cause after it reaches the edge of the keyboard I'm blind can't see. Please fix it soon before people realise this.
Problem 2: (updating)
iOS 8.1.2 is slow for iPad mini 1. When the processor is not able to manage this update then why does Apple give the option of updating. iOS 7 was just perfect. I was forced to update it because my app updates wouldn't update. Soon as I click update it opens the app and there you have it 'nothing'.
Problem 3: (Siri)
what is the use of Siri when it is slow to react, (in 3G). It just opens up slow.
Problem 4: (Photos app)
Photos app response time is very slow on iPad.
Problem 5: (assertive touch)
The assertive touch button on screen just goes dud sometimes on iPad.

For your keyboard problem: Hold down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple Logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
For your other issues, & if you do not wish to update to iOS 8.2, do a general reset:
Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Cannot copy highlighted text unless I un-highlight the text

I have highlighted text in a document. When I go to copy that same text, it selects the entire sentence. I right-click, the menu starts with "Set Status." There is no "copy" option. Neither is control-C successful. When I next paste, it pastes a previously selected text, not the text I am attempting to copy in Acrobat. The only way I have found to copy the highlighted text is to un-highlight it, and then copy it. Are there any other solutions?
Thanks!

Thank you! This works. I pressed "shift," then highlighted the text I want to copy, and right-click (while still holding down "shift" key), and "Copy" finally appears in the menu.

Acrobat Forms -- how do i make a text field opaque when typing

I'm new to the Forms formatting, so bear with me. I'm trying to create a fillable form which has rules to fill in by hand. How can I create a text field box that will cover the rules behind it if someone chooses to type the info instead of handwriting. I found a script that almost works:
if (event.value.toString().length > 0) {
event.target.fillColor = color.white ;
} else {
event.target.fillColor = color.transparent ;
The only problem with this is that the rules show while typing on top of them. The box turns opaque when a new entry is made in another field. Anyway to make the box opaque while they're typing ?

Here's a link to a demo that I believe behaves as you want: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=AG6oZ3bi3DYHokxDPeWN7A
It is controlled by several scripts, so study them to see how it works.

Reader XI 11.0.01: Shapes yes; sticky notes yes; highlighter/other text NO. Please help. Thanks.

Reader XI 11.0.01: Shapes yes; sticky notes yes; highlighter/other text NO. Please help. Thanks.

Thank you so much...
2. [first] The problem is within the application; I wasn't trying while in a browser.
3. There is no response upon clicking buttons, which prompted me to search for quite a long time in an attempt to find some "help," in case I was somehow performing the action incorrectly. [The Reader "Help" is in name only on this subject, but I can now see why...].
1. [eureka] When I read your question #1 and began considering the possibility of corruption or something (the ever-lurking gremlins?) I realized that I was working with a PDF from a scan, and that that was probably the issue. I immediately opened one saved from a website and it worked perfectly and as expected. I opened a different scan-to-PDF and got the same original trouble.
I'm glad one can still draw circles and attach sticky notes....
Thanks again!

Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" with double-spacing?

Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" doesn't seem to go well with double-spacing.
Has anyone been aware of this issue?
Try double-spacing the text you highlighted. What's up with this?
This is so annoying and frustrating. I've been trying to do both of them for like 2-3 hours.
You CAN do both, of course, but if you double-space the highlighted text, it just creates this huge highlighted part (it highlights the space between the two lines!) below the actual text.
Anyone help me pleeeeeeeease.

In Pages v5.2.2, taking Baskerville Regular 12 pt, and double-spacing it with character fill color does produce a nasty effect. With View > Show Rulers, I looked where the lines of text lined up on the vertical scale.
Then I changed the Spacing selector from Lines to Between. Now, just the text had the character fill color, but the line height had increased visually downward. With the between setting, line height is changed to points, and indicates 27 pt. If you adjust this value to 16 pt, the second line of double-spacing will realign with where it was before the between change, while retaining discrete line character fill color.
Before: Spacing set to Lines, and 2.0 - Double.
After: Spacing set to Between, and 16 pt

Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to home wifi?

Recently, My Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to my home WIFI. The status bar WIFI icon is highlighted and the Connection Bar icon has 0 bars. When I check the WIFI connection in "settings" the status is connected and shows very strong strength. Any time I try to make a call or send a text I get a "no network error message" and basically I am dead in the water as far as cell phone use is concerned. My S4 is my primary phone for home and business use and is very inconvenient when I am missing calls, etc. I have done a phone reset and removed SIM Card as well as a rest. Please advise.

jlrwillis, I know this would concern me just the same and we definitely want to figure this out for you. How long has this been going on? Since you started experiencing the issue have there been any changes to the device? Software updates, application downloads, or damage to the device? If WiFi is off while at home do you see that you are connected to cellular service? Are you able to make a call that way?

IChat Lion Sends Message while I'm typing...

First off, I used to have ChatX on my iChat before I updated to Lion.
Now that I updated, while I am typing a message, say, "How are you?"
While I am typing it out, bits and pieces get sent automatically when I don't even finish typing it and hit ENTER key.
It looks like this in the chat window:
How are
How are you
How are you?
It's like every 2 seconds someone is hitting an imaginery ENTER key and the message gets sent through.
Any help would be apprecaited

Hi,
Go to the iChat > Preferences > Accounts.
Highlight the Bonjour one.
Disable the Send as I Type option.
For some reason the Yahoo Account can "See" this setting and uses it
(AIM on the PC app have "Real Time" that is supposed to do the same thing but it does not work to iChat and iChat does not do it to AIM on PC Buddies)

How do I switch through the English and Spanish keyboards on my ipod touch while I am typing instead of stopping and going into settings?

I went into settings and added the Spanish keyboard on to my ipod touch. But here's the thing. If I have the keyboard in English, while I am typing I can't use any Spanish because it wants to correct all my words and turn them into English words, and this happens vice versa when typing in Spanish and it makes corrections in English. When I type I am constantly switching back and forth between Spanish and English. Is there any way to change the keyboard language while I am at the typing screen? For example on my Samsung Galaxy 4g, all I have to do when I want to switch languages is swipe my finger on the space bar key from left to right. That way I don't have to stop writing, go into the phone settings and find the language and switch it, slowing me down considerably because I would have to stop every few minutes. Is there no way to do something like this on my ipod touch??
Sarita

Use the Globe key. Hold it down and you will get a list, or just hit it to switch.
The Globe key should appear if you have more than one keyboard chosen in settings.

TS3899 I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What should I do to correct this issue?

I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What have I done to create, and what should I now do to correct, this issue?

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact. Help!!

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

Hope this helps,
