How Alt+Backspace shortcut works? (silly question)

Hello,
Sometimes I'm reading a tutorial and they say I should use Alt+Backspace shortcut in order to fill the selection with foreground color.
But everytime I try that on a selection a floating dropdown menu appears (options: Restore, Move, Size, Minimize...)
It's silly, but I would like to know how to use that properly.
Thanks,

That's the right shortcut on windows to fill a selection with the foreground color.
Are you talking about that menu popping up on the top left of the photoshop window?

  • R60 shouts at me when pressing [ctrl+alt+backspace] in openSUSE

    Whenever I try to restart the X server in openSUSE 11.3, as I like to do with the [ctrl+alt+backspace]-shortcut, I just get a loud *beep* from the onboard speaker and nothing happens. I tried booting into Windows and pressing the key combination, same thing.
    Help?

    Are you getting the same beep from Windows?Or is it only OpenSuse?
    Every time I restart the system my 3000H system also gives me a loud beep from the board.Your X server might not be supported by the GPU which is causing the system to give out the beep sound..
    Cheers and regards,

  • Alt-Backspace no longer works as Foreground Fill

    Recently, Alt-Backspace has stopped working as the shortcut for Foreground Fill. Ctrl-Backspace still works as Background Fill. As far as I can tell, this is the only operation that isn't working correctly.
    I'm running 64-bit CC on Windows 7 64bit.
    Installed the latest CC update available to me (2014.2.2 release) and it still doesn't work.
    Tried the Reset All Tools as suggested in troubleshooting.
    Tested the keyboard.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    If you don't have another app open that may be programmed for that key combination, a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
    To reset Preferences:
    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
    A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

  • Alt + Shift shortcut does not work in CDE

    Hello,
    I have a following problem when I try to use Alt+Shift shortcuts in Eclipse IDE: when I press Alt+Shift+N my Eclipse behave as if Alt+N was pressed (without Shift).
    The problem is described in the following bug:https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=120555.
    The solution is to remove "grp:alt_shift_toggle" option from xorg.conf. Unfortunately I cannot find xorg.conf in my CDE environment.
    Do you have any ideas how this issue could be solved?
    Many thanks!
    Kuba

    If it doesn't work for certain applications then you may go through the followings:
    GetAltTabInfo function

    Which windows appear in the Alt+Tab list?

    How do I change my security questions email? There is an old one attached that no longer works.

              ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
              phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
         2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support or

  • 2 silly questions what is boot camp and do I need it? & How to transfer PC

    Okay, I've just ordered my first mac it's a 17" 1.83 refurb iMac, I've noticed a lot of stuff about boot camp, what is it? Does it allow me to transfer my old pc files to my Imac? The only files I will be transfering are pictures and music files can anyone tell me how easy or hard this will be, Thanks again

    There are no silly questions.
    Boot Camp (which is still a beta until Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard' comes out) allows you to boot your Intel-based Mac in either Windows XP or Mac OS X. It will make an extra partition on your internal hard drive on which you can install WinXP SP2.
    To transfer you PC files onto your Mac you will not need Boot Camp. There are several ways to do it, but perhaps the easiest is to burn you files on a CD-R or DVD-R and insert the disc into your Mac.
    For your music files: start iTunes and import all music files from your CD/DVD (File menu > Import).
    For your pics: start iPhoto and import all your pictures from the CD/DVD (File menu > Import in Library). iPhoto is really the best way to keep track of all your current and future pics and share them with anyone.
    Good luck and welcome to the Mac world!

    You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

    A Pages (.pages) document is only viewable with Apple's Pages application on the Mac, or via Pages for iCloud beta. You should export it to either MS Word (.doc/x) or PDF. The Share menu will let you do this directly into a Mail attachment.

  • This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

    You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.

    This may seem a silly question, but how can I create a new mailbox on my iPad?

    A new mailbox/folder - you can't, not yet. If you're using an IMAP mail account, you can create a mailbox on the server (either through webmail or desktop mail) and it'll appear on the iPad.
    We've been told the upcoming iOS5 will allow you to do so (I assume, provided you have IMAP).
