How can I use the enter key instead of tab to change field focus?

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
We have a fillable PDF where the users enter numbers into fields.  They want to be able to use the <enter> key on the 10-key pad instead of the <tab> key on the keyboard to move the focus to the next data entry field.
How can I set my PDF so that it recognizes the <enter> key instead of the <tab> key for changing focus?
Thanks!

You can use a custom Keystroke script, something like:
// Custom Keystroke script for text field
if (event.willCommit && event.commitKey === 2) {
    getField("Text2").setFocus();
Where "Text2" is the name of the next field. This doesn't disable the Tab key though. For more information, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.608.html

  • I'm using LR 5.6.  The Enter key should increase the exposure but it increases Contrast instead.  How can I make the Enter key adjust the exposure?

    Hello
    As explained in the heading, I'm using LR 5.6 on a PC (Win 7).  The Enter key should increase the exposure but it increases Contrast instead.  How can I make the Enter key adjust the exposure, as it should?  I have reset the settings to Default in the Develop module but to no avail.  Please help!  Thanks.
    Kind Regards

    I am not aware that the ENTER key should increase exposure, and it certainly does not increase exposure (or any other slider) on my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7)
    If you click on the word Exposure, then the + and - keys increases or decrease exposure by 0.1 or -0.1

  • How can i use the project code instead of project xml?

    hello
    i use the sessionbean+toplink structure,after i finish the o-r mapping by using the mapping work bench,i generate the project xml file,then in the "session.xml" file,i refer to the project xml,then i can use it from sessionbean.
    i hear that if i use the project code instead of project xml file,it will be more performant,is that true?
    otherwise,how can i use the project code instead of project xml file?i mean, in "session.xml", i can use the "<project-xml>" tag to refer to the project xml file,then in my session bean,i get the server session by read the "session.xml" file.but if i use the project code,how can i refer it from the "session.xml"?the examples that come with the toplink installation only tell me how can i use the project xml file within the session bean,it don't give me any clue about using the project code in the sesion bean,who can give me a step-by-step instruction and code snippet?
    thank you very much?

    There is a slight performance gain during session load at startup but there is no difference at runtime. The choice of which to use is dependent upon you build process. Whether it is easier to submit a new version of the class into the comile build process vs an XML file. In most cases it is just a preference of the development team.
    When you use the project-class you'll need to generate the source code and compile it into your system. Typically it is packaged with the persistent classes. You may need to configure your environment so that the class-loaders have access to these classes (same for the XML case).
    When using the project-class you simply replace the project-xml entry like this:
    <project-class>oracle.toplink.demos.employee.relational.EmployeeProject</project-class>
    The DTD for the session.xml file is found at <TOPLINK_HOME>\core\sessions_4_5.dtd. It is also in the documentation at:

    How can I use the F11 short cut to go to next field in Microsoft Word 2011 on Macbook Air?

    The default setting for the function keys is that they do OS X functions.
    To get a regular function hold the fn key and then press the function key.
    This action can be reversed in keyboard preferences.

    Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen in the mobile site. There is (or at least there used to be) a link to the standard site.
    Really, though, the experience through the Gmail app is much better.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I remove the "enter" key from the keyboard? (New Macbook)

    I have the last white macbook, I spilled beer in a couple of keys, I managed to removed them without problems, but I can't find the way to remove the Enter Key, and there is no help on internet Anyone?

    What characters are you talking about exactly and why would you want to remove any?
    There is really no way to modify Apple's keyboards or add your own in iOS, but there are some apps that may provide a work around.

  • How can I use the function keys in a GUI with swing?

    I'm wondering how do you declare you want an action to happen when a user uses a function key or any key for that matter. How can you specify something frame wide or for that matter for a specific jtextbox?

    you need to use an accelerator
    setAccelerator(javax.swing.KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_A, java.awt.event.InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK | java.awt.event.InputEvent.CTRL_MASK)

  • How can i select the next column instead of next row when press enter key

    I need to know how can i select the next column instead of next row when i press the enter key.By default ,when i press enter key the next row is selected and the column remain unchanged but I wants opposite that is the row should remain unchanged but column index will changed.
    Thanks to all.

    Well, the right arrow key will already move you to the next column, so the easiest way to do this is to modify the InputMap to have the Enter key invoke the same Action as the right arrow key.
    You can search the forum for my "Table Actions" (without the space) example that will show you how to do this.

  • Using the enter key on an editable table

    Hi,
    I'm using 11g adf and I can't figure out how to get past this:
    When going through an editable table (with editingMode="editAll") using the enter key, it will stop after a certain number of rows, equal to the value of fetchSize. If I want to go down further, I have to scroll down another way to make it fetch the next set of rows, it won't go to the next row with the enter key. It simply won't execute the query to fetch the next rows.
    Increasing the fetchSize will just delay the problem to a row further down (and decrease the performance since the fetch operation can take quite a bit longer).
    I've tried to put a clientListener on both the table or the inputText fields to intercept the enter key, but that won't work when the table is in editable mode.
    Is there any way to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    I've tried to put a clientListener on both the table or the inputText fields to intercept the enter key, but that won't work when the table is in editable mode.
    The clientListener needs to be on the inputText fields. Then in JS you need to call a server listener which will check if the current row is already at the range end and if calls NextSet (you can provide this as a method binding). Unfortunately after this you will need to PPR the table to show the new rows. This is how I would try it.

    Our posts overlapped there.  Are you saying you could reliably drag one pixel with CS3? 
    What other issues are you having?  Things like the Crop tool can feel strange at first, but I promise you you'll never want to use Classic mode once you get used to it.
