How can I get the special keys on my external Cherry keyboard to work?

Hi,
so I'd like to get my external Cherry Evolution Stream XT keyboard fully supported. How would I go on about that?
I know there [is a guide on that issue](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … ys_in_Xorg), but how do I know which keycode/number the volume and other media keys on my external keyboard have?
So I found out the keycodes to the "hotkeys" with xev, just as described on the wiki page:
keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 173 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 171 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 77 = Num_Lock
Do I have to put them into ~/.Xmodmap and it'll be fine? I don't think it could work that way since these keycodes are probably only true for the Cherry keyboard, but not hte Thinkpad's own keyboard.

But what's the command I have to enter? I have been googling the commands, but I can't figure out what kind of "action" I have to assign to that XF86...LowerVolume key.
SOLVED it myself
I coincidently discovered that I had to install asla-utils for the command to work, so I assigned
amixer set Master 10%+
and other versions and it works. Will have to find some matches for toggling, I guess I'll find them eventually.

How can I get the product key of my HP 250

Hi,
I contacted Microsoft concerning the Product key of my hp 250 G1 for activation. I have been trying to activate it since last year but I could not. Microsoft told me it Is a volume licensing key and it only showed last 5 digits of the keys. If I tried to activate my Windows it would prompt me to buy another Product key which is worth to buy another laptop. Please I need your support and assistance to get the Product keys for activation. Thank you. The Product no is: H6E14EA#ABV

Hello ,

How can I get the tab key to select text fields only?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 on Windows, the tab key functions differently. How do I change it so that it only selects text input fields?

The answer is: The bug is in the UI. Speech recognition was enabled, by default it uses the bare escape key as a "mic on" indicator, and it does not leave any trace in the keybord configuration. So that is the bug. It needs to leave a trace there, a la: "X Listen-for-voice-command ^" under Mission Control.

How can I get the escape key to work again?

I've used "esc" to get out of VI's insert mode for 40 years. I am not going to relearn that keystroke as "ctl-esc", period. Even if I were to do that, then I'd be typing ctl-esc on other platforms where it would not work because I have to type "esc" alone. If there is a way to fix in in System Preferences->keyboard, I cannot find it. If there is not, then it is completely 100% brain-dead wrong. I hope that's not the case. So there is definitely a bug:
The key-up event on the escape key does not cause the escape key code to be delivered to the active window when no other key is pressed, or
The UI is sufficiently obtuse that the cause of the suppression cannot readily be found.
I do hope it is merely the latter because I am compelled to use Outlook and Outlook does not work properly under OS/X 10.6. (Our Exchange Server is rigged to only allow Outlook clients to send email outside of the company.)
Thank you.

How can I get a replacement key for my Macbook's keyboard in a country without an Apple Store?

I'm in Guyana, South America, and there is no Apple store in this country. I have asked my friends in North America to go to an Apple store to purchase a key, but they were told that I must ship my Macbook to an Apple store. This seems like unnecessary troubles just to get a single key.
I had bought my Macbook Pro for no longer than 2 months when my 'H' key popped out and the clip became damaged. This is heartbreaking.
Any recommendations?

I would check these guys out. They have a great selection and ship worldwide

P.S. they will also help you find out exactly what key mechanism you use.

In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
and it contain
8326=sun developer
4306=sun java developer
3943=java developer
how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
plz help guys..............

The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
props.load(is);

How can we get the value of the key field in a custom data model using governance API?

Dear Team,
How can we get the value of the key field in a custom data model, to be used for manipulation of the change request fields using governance API?
Any kind of help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Tushar.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for direction. Let me give more context on this as I'm interested to get more details..One of the issue was to read cross entity field values on UI based on user action and set other entity field behaviour...It is similar to what is being posted here.
For ex: Reading MTART from Basic Data UIBB in MM MDG UI and set the field properties in some other custom entities say ZZETEST. This cannot be done using UI BADI as it only supports single entity at a time and not cross entity. So alternatively we found a solution where we can enhance existing PLMB feederclass cl_mdg_bs_mat_feeder_form by reading the model and the entity as needed as it it proved that it supports cross entity UI field behaviours and so business requirements.
This is a workaround for now.
So the question is How do we achive it using governance API for cross entity field behiaviours.?or what is the right way doing this.
Can we do that using governance API and its' methods?
In the Governance API doc you provided below has referring to below external model as part of gevernance API.
The active or inactive data (before or during the derivation or the check) can be read
with the external data model interface IF_USMD_MODEL_EXT with the method READ_CHAR_VALUE and
the corresponding READ_MODE parameter. To avoid unnecessary flushes (derivations), the NO_FLUSH
parameter should b
e set to ‘X’.
Thanks

How to decrypt data when you can't get the private key in Windows?

I'm very confuse. My english is poor, but I try to say my question clearly.
When browser connects to a https website which needs client certificate to authenticate the identity, the browser will send client certificate to web server.
Then the web server will use the certificate to encrypt some data and send it to browser.
Then broswer should have private key to decrypt that.
But as I know, if I install a pfx format personal certificate, I can set can't export private key, which means you can't get the private key to use it. So how can
the browser decrypt the data without private key?
By the way, what is CSP, use CSP's interface can we use CryptoAPI
to decrypt data without private key?

Answer for question is "you cant"..

Dear Customer Service Team,
I bought a twelve-month Dreamweaver CC program with monthly payment that I have paid via bank transfer and there would be a question about the activation. How could I get the license key with which I can activate my account? I can not find it and now I only have access to the trial version.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Kind Regards,

There is no serial number require for Creative Cloud products, you may activate the products using your email address and password which is associated with Adobe. If your Dreamweaver asking for serial number, then make sure you are signing in with correct email address.

Key in registry – how can I get the content?

Hello!
Key in registry: I need all sub-keys that exist in this key. How can I get the list?
Thanks!

reg is a command line tool in windows that allows you to query the registry. You can use it to query any part of the windows registry. Once you know what query string you will need to query the entry you want, you can use ProcessBuilder to build the command line command you want to run. In your Java code, you will then need to run an external application (reg) with its arguments. ProcessBuilder is a class which makes this task easier.
