How can I make double clicking the space bar to make a period less sensitive

Hi! When I double click the space bar, it makes a period, which I love. What drives me crazy is that it thinks I'm double clicking the space bar quite frequently, so it'll insert a period in the middle of the sentence. How can I make my space bar less sensitive? I know that I can turn off the period shortcut, but I would prefer to leave it on, just with a less sensitive keyboard setting. Help!

It sounds like the space key is getting worn out. You may need to get the device exchanged under warranty if it's less than a year old.

  • How do i get a fullstop when texting. I try to double click the space bar but its not working.

    The fullstop was working when i first got the phone but now its not. I am new to the i phone and not sure what i am doing. Its the i phone 4s.
    Also i dont know how to get the menu up while i am on the phone talking. For example if the company i am ringing requires me to press 1 for connection i cant get to the screen with the numbers. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks for any help......

    Check Settings>General>Keyboard and make sure that "." Shortcut is set to On.
    When you are on a call, you should see a panel of six icons. The dial pad is the middle one on the top.

  • When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

    When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • How can I erase burnfolders in the side-bar?

    How can I erase burnfolders in the side-bar?
                                                                       W.W.

    You can also try this.
    Go to your home folder>Library>Preferences - delete/trash the files labeled "com.apple.finder.plist" and "com.apple.sidebarlists.plist" and then restart your computer.  Empty the trash once you reach the desktop.  The untitled dvd folder & burn icon should now be gone from the Finder sidebar.
    In addition to removing preference files, if you don't want to use the sidebar for managing CDs and DVDs you can go to the Finder preferences and uncheck the option to show CDs, DVDs, and iPods in the sidebar to prevent them from appearing there in the first place.

  • What can I do to use the space bar as Hand Tool?

    I'm using Photoshop CC and I could not use this tool pressing the space bar. Did this function change on CC version?
    Thank you

    Sometime it can be other applications grabbing the space bar, especially if you use Google Chrome browser which has been known to cause conflicts. See solution #2 on this link:

  • How Can I Simulate Double-Clicking A File To Open It In The Default App Without Installing Default App?

    I have an app written with Visual Studio 2013. The app has code for opening a file using the standard OpenFileDialog and also has code (AutoOpenFile()) for opening a file when a user double-clicks on a file that is handled by the app. I have not yet created
    an installer for the app, so I won't be able to test it's AutoOpenFile() code...unless there is a way to simulate the process of auto-opening the double-clicked file without actually installing the app on my PC. Anyone?

    Thanks for your reply, Wyck. I already have the necessary code in my app for opening a file when I double-click on it. The problem is that the app is not currently installed on my PC. Until I do install it, is there a way I can test-run that code
    by double-clicking on an associated file?
    You lost me at: you want to test-run code that is not on your PC.
    O_o
    You want to double-click a file, and then...what do you want to have happen?  You want to run...something...that is not on your PC??
    The "simulation" is to launch your app from the command line and pass in the name of the file you wanted to simulate a "double-click" of.
    Regardless, you cannot get the shell to have a double-click of a file cause your application to launch unless you modify the registry to do so.  (This is tantamount to "install" to me.)
    In the spirit of continuing to be helpful, though, I'll assume that this is what you want to do and I'll show you how to get it done with the least amount of tampering with your registry.
    Here are minimally invasive registry modifications you need to make to get it to launch a program when you double-click your file.  It's pretty small.
    EXAMPLE ONLY:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wyck]
    @="Wyck.Document"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wyck.Document\shell\open\command]
    @="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
    [You have to save the above with your appropriate modifications to a file with the
    .reg extension (e.g.: test.reg) and then you'll have to double-click the test.reg file to "merge" these settings into your registry.]
    The example above registers a file extension called .wyck and assigns a completely arbitrary class name to it called
    Wyck.Document.
    Then it associates a shell open command with the Wyck.Document class that causes
    notepad.exe to be passed the filename of the file you double-clicked (that's what the
    %1 does).  You are welcome to replace all the specific names with your own extensions and class names and replace notepad.exe with the path to your (test) executable.
    This executable will be launched, but not with a debugger attached.  To facilitate debugging it, you'll want to temporarily add some code to your program to pause when the program launches, possibly by showing a message box right at the very beginning
    of your main function that says "attach debugger now" so that you can attach a debugger to the process that was started by the shell, and then dismiss the message box and continue debugging.
    When you are done with your testing, you can simply manually delete those two registry keys using
    regedit.

  • Get the letter "B" after double tapping the space bar.

    How do I stop the B? It's either hit or miss. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

    VibrantRedGT wrote:
    I wish it were that. Many times when I erase the B it comes back when hitting the space bar only once. The B is not really close to where I press the space bar either.
    Then try the usual things:
    1. Restart your phone.
    2. Reset the settings (Settings > General > Reset).
    3. Restore to factory settings.
    If after step #3 you're still having problems contact Apple support and make an appointment at your nearby Apple Store to have it checked out.
    If you have the problem with another device then I'm betting the problem is on the user-side and not the phone-side.

  • Where's the double click the menu bar to minimize?

    In Lion, I can no longer double click a window menu bar to minimize it. I can't find an option in the System Preferences for it. Is it really gone or can I just not find it? Thanks

    It doesn't appear in my General preferences either.

  • How can I put favicons on the bookmarks bar?

    I am used to seeing favicons next to my bookmarks--in fact, I have several that have favicons only (such as Google Reader, ESPN). Can this happen with Safari (Windows)? After favicons, seeing all text bookmarks on the bookmarks bar is so 2000s.
    Sorry if this is the wrong category; I didn't see a Windows Safari version forum.

    *How Can I Put Lyrics On The Songs In The iPod Touch?!
    Read the response by Jim VanLeeuwen, but I might add a few comments:
    (a) Lyrics on the Touch are only supported if you have firmware 2.0 or later.
    (b) If you auto-sync your iPod, the changes you make to your library will be copied over to the Touch on your next sync. But if you manually manage the Touch I believe that you will need to delete the revised songs from the Touch and drag the new copies over. Although you can add lyrics directly to the songs that are on the Touch (if you manually manage) it is better to edit your library and replace the updated songs on the Touch. That way in case your Touch ever gets corrupted and you have to delete everything, you won't lose the lyrics (or any other tag changes you made directly on the Touch).

  • How do I hide the "preview panel" in Mail. Double clicking the "separator bar" hasn't worked ( I think I know where that bar is.)

    How can I hide the "preview panel" in Mail? Double clicking on the "separator bar" , as directed by Mail Help, does nothing. ( I am not certain where that bar is, but believe it to be the zone where the preview panel and the message space meet.) This issue only arose after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    The only way I found to hide the "preview panel" is to drag the separator to the edge of the window. It shrinks the panel down to perhaps 1/2 inch in height and then disappears only when you drag it to the bottom (classic layout) or perhaps a couple inches wide (in the new layout). It is also annoying to me that you can double click to open the preview panel but you cannot repeat that to hide it. [sigh]
    I submitted feedback about the help file as well - you may want to do the same. I could not find the double click mentioned in the new "Mail Help" - I know it was in the old version.

  • How can I set double-click of JPGs to open in Photoshop instead of Camera Raw?

    Like the title of this topic says, how can I set up Bridge so that double-clicking a JPG opens it directly in Photoshop, instead of going through the intermediary Camera Raw dialog box first?
    And yes, I do have my File Type Associations for all JPGs set to open in Photoshop.
    I also have Camera Raw preferences set to NOT "always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw".
    I'm using Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.2 on Intel.

    First double check if you have the options in the prefs indeed unchecked.
    If so restart Bridge holding down option and choose the refresh preferences option, reset the prefs again to your wishes and restart Bridge.

  • How can I change double-click timing?

    Is there a way to change the millisecond difference at which Swing intreprets 2 consecutive clicks as a double click event? If so, how?

    AFAIK, this is a function of the underlying OS, so would require the use of native code?
