Highlight the current word using the keyboard

How do you highlight the current word using the keyboard
eg lets say the cursor is after the letter d in AddComments would like to highlight the AddComments using the keyboard
mediatorMap.mapView(AddComments, LoginFormMediator);

Hi
I dont think its possible. In Java you have something like Select Enclosing Element, which mimicks selecting a word (Alt-Shift-Up). However, FB does not have this feature, AFAIK.
There is an Eclipse enhancement request for this behaviour, which should address this in some future release. Given the fact that its still not implemented in core Eclipse, and the lame speed at which FB develops, I wouldn't expect anything before 2012.

Yosemite is locking my keyboard! When I start or retrieve a document the mouse will operate and I can highlight a word in Word but the keyboard will not type. I have had this start since the very first opening after updating.

I open a document to edit in Word 2013 (which shows as Word 2008) and try to save the document as a different one. The optical mouse on my MacBook Pro operates normally. Then I make the corrections as try "Save As". The screen opens and I can navigate to the folder and press "Open". I give it a name and the summary page opens to the text lines and I try to give it a new title. The keyboard does not respond and I have to cancel. I have automatic updates on and I get no update messages from Apple of Microsoft.
Anyone else havng same issues? This misspelled word will not correct by using the old method of right clicking and getting suggested corrections. it highlights but will not correct nor can I place the cursor on the exact place in the word (between the V and the n) to insert the missing "i".

Microsoft released Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.5 for Yosemite compatibility. They are not motivated to do so for Office for Mac 2008, as it is an unsupported, end-of-life product.
Can you work through the process you described on another person's MBP with Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.5 installed to determine if the problem you encountered is reproducible there?

How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

please how can one How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
Set it for All Applications
Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
Make Upper Case
Make Lower Case
Capitalize
Give them a shortcut.

Why my iPad 4 become very lag after upgrade to iOS 8.0.2 and not sensitive anymore when press the keyboard and programs it didn't respond when I type the word using the keyboard fast it lag until I cannot locked or switch off the phone

Same issue here both with my iphone 5S as well as my iPad2. THe sync to my macbook air does not complete and it shows a large overcapacity level when connected, but once I disconnect there is plenty of room (4 GB) available, not a 20 GB overage.

I am using a USB keyboard and everytime I wake the iMac from sleep the keyboard will not respond unless I unplug and replug the keyboard. I am using a mid-2010 iMac with OSX 10.6. Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently using a USB keyboard (PC Model) and everytime I wake the computer from sleep the keyboard no longer responds unless I unplug and replug it. The USB mouse I am using works fine with no issues and I have already gone through the prompt to identify the keyboard in the settings. If anyone know of a setting I can use to permenantly enable the keyboard so I no longer have to unplug and replug it that would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

I use iMac OS 10.6.8 (uptodate Snow Leopard) with Firefox for Mac 23.0.1. Online and at other times, my number pad doesn't work. Is there a 'Num Loc/unloc' on the keyboard?

On line or otherwise, my number keypad doesn't work, then I get a 'freeze.' Number keypad works durning sign in.
I use Mac keyboard (original equipment).

Hi, sometimes Shift+clear works as numlock.
Also open System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard tab, & see if Sticly keys is on.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!

Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT204400 My wireless key password is three words connected by a - but the keyboard on the Apple TV menu does not have this symbol! Help please

Can anyone help- I am trying to connect the wireless network to the Apple TV and the keyboard letter/icons does not have the option of the - symbol. It's not under score in my wireless password it's three words connected with a - I am either thick or well probably! Help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Change the character screen by using the ' #+= ' button on the top row of characters, you'll find the ' - ' charcter at the end of the 5th row.

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س

MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word.

How to Highlight the CURRENT RECORD in a Table with Report Form

Hi,
I have created a Table with Report Form....let suppose the table is - EMP
Report page - 1
Form page - 2
Now, when I do Create / Update on Page 2,....the control is back on Page1.
Suppose in the Report Page (Page1)..we have 10 records....NOW how should I highlight the CURRENT RECORD in Page 1 with some color to identify the record which I have updated/created just now...
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
You could do that with a custom report template. I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:175]
Go to Shared Components, Templates and create a new Report template as a copy of your existing one. Then edit your template. In the above example, the Column Template 1 setting was:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>I copied this into the Column Template 2 setting and updated the Column Template 1 setting to:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data" style="background-color:red; color:yellow;">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>I then set the Column Template 1 Condition to: Use Based on PL/SQL Expression
and the Column Template 1 Expression to: '#EMPNO#' = '&P178_EMPNO.'
(In my example, P178_EMPNO is the single item on the linked to page.
Save those changes and go to your report and change its template to the new one. As long as a selection has been made and P178_EMPNO has a value, the condition will make sure that the report uses the first template for the row with the matching EMPNO value. All other rows get the template from Column Template 2.

How to switch the keyboard language when using a bluetooth keyboard?

When using the on-screen keyboard I have the little globe to switch languages, but when using a bluetooth keyboard the on-screen keyboard is hiden.
I want to be able to write in different languages using the bluetooth keyboard, also the auto-correct gets in the way if I write in a different language than english and it tries to change the words to the closest similar english word.
Help!

I see that now Tom, I'm sorry to confuse things. I think my problem might have been that I had the keyboard too far away from the phone, and so when I looked back from the keyboard to the phone, the screen indication of the languages had already disappeared from the screen. Because I have more than one language with Roman characters installed, I thought that no change was occurring from that sequence of commands, since I wasn't getting Korean. But now that I see your correction, and watch the screen closely, I see that you're right. I apologize. (And of course, I'm grateful to have a simpler way of switching languages!)

Is there any possible way I can use the keyboard controls/shortcuts of Microsoft on the Mac version or PhotoShop?

I am very used to using a PC for Photoshop and just recently changed to Mac. I tried plugging in a different but the keyboard shortcuts arent like Windows version

Since you have a mac, learn how to use Photoshop for Mac and stop thinking about Windows. Time to let go and learn how to use programs for Mac.
This is pretty horrible advice. 95% of Photoshop works the same on Mac and PC. Almost all of the keyboard shortcuts are identical except that Ctrl becomes Command and Alt becomes Option (same key anyway). The menus are all the same.
shldr2thewheel wrote:
Also, when using PS on a Mac, their is no option to enable "windows keyboard mode" in OS X. I know, I have used PS on a PC and currently use it on a Mac. You have no option but to learn how to use it on a Mac. If you are comfortable with Windows, purchase a copy of Windows and run it in Boot Camp or a virtual machine and purchase a copy of PS for windows. Then when in Windows, I believe you can use MS shortcuts.
This is also (mostly) incorrect advice.
If you look in the Keyboard system preference, and you click Keyboard Shortcuts, you will find a shortcut called "Move focus to the menu bar." Once this happens, you can type ahead to menus and commands, much like the alt menu shortcuts in Windows. If you wanted to open the Duplicate command, it would be Ctrl-F2 to activate the menu bar (edit that shortcut if you don't like it), then type I and Enter to drop the Image menu, then type D and Enter to open Duplicate. If there were two D commands, you would type ahead until the letters are different. You can use the spacebar instead of Enter, and Esc does the same as Windows. I just tried all this in CS5 and it works fine. The advantage over Windows is that you do not need to memorize the alt shortcuts, because it's based on the command name you want instead of an arbitrary letter in the middle of the name.
As jasdril said, you can simply edit the direct shortcuts too. But in most cases there should be no need to because as I said, most are the same anyway.
In short, there is plenty of keyboard-driven flexibility there for anyone willing to adapt just a little tiny bit.
The second advice that is not so good is recommending a Windows virtual machine. That'll slow down Photoshop, in addition to using up a lot of RAM and CPU that Photoshop really needs. The Mac version of Photoshop being native, would run at a proper speed.
The last possibly bad decision in this thread is TTro787 deciding to take the Mac back to the store, ignoring a quarter century of history of the Mac as a well-established graphic design and photo workstation. If you don't think the Mac is going to work well for Photoshop, it isn't going to be because of the Mac... the Mac is not just for Starbucks posers. Too many smart scientists (who want to use the Unix-based OS) and competent designers use Macs.
In short there is a whole lot of intolerance and assumed differences in this thread by both Mac and Windows zealots, which is too bad. Photoshop is mostly the same on Mac and Windows unless you're trying really hard to make it not work.

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

Action that finds specified words and highlight the whole sentence or paragraph

Hi All,
I know a action file from Acrobat users group (http://acrobatusers.com/content/find-highlight-words-and-phrases) which find and highlight a set of words using Acrobat action. But, is this possible to modify the javascript to select and highlight the "whole sentence" of the word selected? I have no knowledge about javascript, but hope I can learn how to search a word and grab the sentence or even the paragraph that a selected word appears in!
Thanks a lot for all your help.
I copied the said javascript in below:
/ Highlight Color
var colHilite = color.yellow;
var oDoc = event.target;
var aAnnts = oDoc.getAnnots({sortBy:"Author"});
for(var i=0;i<aAnnts.length;i++)
   if(aAnnts[i].type == "Redact")
      aAnnts[i].type = "Highlight";
      aAnnts[i].strokeColor = colHilite;

Thanks for your reply! But can I just extend the selection like a number of words or entire line of sentence before and after that search word for highlight/redaction? like Acrobat advanced search did some kind of result for finding but not wide enough I think.
