How do i make selections without using the mouse?

for example, when I go to quit Photoshop, there is a box that comes up that asks whether I want to save changes to a file before I quit. Below are three buttons; "Don't Save", "Cancel", and "Save". The "Save" button is a dark blue, and if I simply hit the return key, I've made my selection as "Save". I know that if I hit the "Command" key and the period at the same time, I've made my selection as "Cancel".
What I can't figure out is how to make the selection for "Don't Save" only using the keyboard?
Thanks!

command d clicks the "Don't save" button from the keyboard without having to select it first in almost any application.

How to open a JCalendarCombo without using the mouse ???

In my swing-application i implementet a JCalendarCombo Object for selection of different Date Times.
Now it's necessary to display this JCalendarCombo for example entering a Key (F1/F2 etc.)
I didn't find a possibilty to realize this item.
The JCalendarCombo package is downloaded with the following packages:
org.gui.ButtonActionListener
org.gui.ButtonItemListener
org.gui.ComboBoxItemListener
org.gui.JCalendar
org.gui.JCalendarCombo
org.gui.JDayButton
org.gui.JDayLabel
org.gui.TextFieldMouseListener
All Classes instead of MouseListener are protected, so that it's not possible to call a method like "initializeCalendar" ore something like that.
No methods like key-Listener are implementet.
Here's the source code:

Has anybody an idea ????
The parent Frame was created with sun one studio 4 community edition.
The JCalendar Combo was implemented by myself and runs properly by mouse, not by keyboard.

the code's not formatted so I'm not going to try to read it,
and there's too many ?? to remove before it will compile,
so, you say it works with the mouse - how, clicking a button?
if so, search for the keyBindings tutorial where you can set up
an action for (e.g.) F2 to do button.doClick()

iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
You'll find it here :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
where ~ is your Home directory.
If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

How to dismiss the spelling dialogue without using the mouse

I'd appreciate the right tip from anyone on how to dismiss the spelling dialogue in Mail without using the mouse. (I'm one of those guys who likes to use the keyboard as much as possible.) Here's the scenario:
I open a new message in Mail, type my text, press Cmd-Shift-D, then (because I have it set to check spelling when I "click send") up pops the spelling dialogue. That's fine as far as it goes, but many times I don't need any corrections because either I don't care or because the words are fine but just not recognized by Mail. So until now what I do is use the mouse to click on the far left one of the three round buttons in the upper left corner of the dialogue. I would like not to have to use the mouse, but pressing Esc or any other keys I try doesn't work to make it go away.
Your advice is welcome! Thanks.

Well, that window is actually a floating window, which means that it is meant to hang around. Notice that if you move Mail to the background (without hiding it), the spelling window hides itself, then shows itself again when you bring Mail back to the front. Floating windows are kind of in their own little world, meant to float above windows while not interfering with keystrokes sent to the frontmost window.
I would argue that it shouldn't be a floater, because nobody's going to want it around once they're done checking spelling. But that's kind of a matter of opinion, and obviously Mail's designers thought differently.
BTW, in the course of writing this, I discovered something -- if you click in the spelling window, so that you could type in the field there, Command-W will actually close the floater. But, of course, that still requires a click in the window with the mouse.

How can I navigate through tabs without using the mouse?

I want to know how to navigate through tabs without using a mouse... just like you can navigate through multiple windows by using <alt><tab> ... because it's extremely annoying when I'm working on something to have to take my hands off the keyboard and go to the mouse.

You can also use Ctrl + Page Up and Ctrl + Page Down to go to the next and previous tab. I prefer those because it doesn't require the Shift key (Shift + Ctrl+ Tab) to go to the previous tab.

Is it possible to highlight text without using the mouse?

I would like to apply the comment/highlight tool in Acrobat without using the mouse.
I select text with shift + cursor. What is the quickest way of highlighting the selected text then? I do not want to use the mouse.
From the programme help I learned that the keyboard shortcut U selects the highlighting tool. But it does not apply highlighting to text selected with the cursor.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply Dave, but I want to know if a pop-up has to be created internally when highlighting. Can you disable to sticky note part of the highlight?
Here's an example: I highlight my college books and don't need all those pop-ups being made behind the scenes. In Acrobat X, all of my highlights would slow down the program immensely,
thankfully in XI, it doesn't happen at all, nor do I want it to in the future. Thank you for your time.

How to get the position of a selected cell in a table without using the mouse event?

Dear All,
    I have a question about table:After clicking the cell of a table, the cell is into the edit status. How to know the row number and column number of the cell, when I click a button?
   The link below is using the mouse down event:
   http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=260102&query.id=55917#M260102
   Is there any other way to do it? Having tried to using the "edit position" property, but it seems not working well.
   Thanks for any suggestion.

How to select rows or columns of tables without using the mouse?

2nd post ever! Yeah! \m/
In Excel, I can select entire rows or columns of data WITHIN TABLES--i.e., not selecting entire sheet rows or columns--by going to any cell on the perimeter of the table, holding down shift+ctrl, and clicking a direction arrow. So for example, if I have a table in columns D-G and rows 1-5, I can highlight row 4 by going to the first or last cell of that row, holding down the shift+ctrl, and hitting the appropriate direction arrow. You might think this is superfluous given that you can use the mouse to select cells. But that becomes cumbersome with large tables, and this method can be more efficient even with small tables.
Similarly, it's often useful to navigate tables, particularly large ones, by moving from any cell within the table to the end or beginning of that row or column by holding down ctrl and hitting the appropriate arrow key. In Excel, this ctrl+arrow key method also allows you to skip blank cells, which is another very useful navigational feature.
I tried numerous combos involving shift, ctrl, command, alt/option and the arrow keys. Haven't found a way to do any of this yet.
Anyone?

Hi Josh,
Numbers is organized differently than Excel, and the navigation tools are different too. Many of us miss our particular favorites from spreadsheets past, but this is Numbers, not a clone. The biggest adjustment is to go from huge monolithic sheet-tables containing virtual sub-tables to a simple blank sheet with small tables, sometimes many per sheet. Navigating is no big deal in these small tables and neither is getting from one small table to another, using the Sheets pane.
Selecting a particular Table is as easy as clicking on the table's name in the Sheets pane. Selecting a particular row, or column, or ranges of rows or columns is done by clicking on the table's row and column labels, left side and top side once a cell is selected in the table.
Numbers is weak at handling large Tables and documents that are large overall. We know this and many of us still prefer it to the alternative when the tool fits the task.

How to reference a class without using the new keyword

I need to access some information from a class using the getter, but I don't want to use the new keyword because it will erase the information in the class. How can I reference the class without using the new keyword.
ContactInfo c = new ContactInfo(); // problem is here because it erases the info in the class
c.getFirstName();

Using new does not erase anything. There's nothing to erase. It's brand new. It creates a new instance, and whatever that constructor puts in there, is there. If you then change the contents of that instance, and you want to see them, you have to have maintained a reference to it somewhere, and access that instance's state through that reference.
As already stated, you seem to be confused between class and instance, at the very least.
Run this. Study the output carefully. Make sure you understand why you see what you do. Then, if you're still confused, try to rephrase your question in a way that makes some sense based on what you've observed.
(And not that accessing a class (static) member through a reference, like foo1.getNumFoos() is syntactically legal, but is bad form, since it looks like you're accessing an instance (non-static) member. I do it here just for demonstration purposes.)
public class Foo {
private static int numFoos; // class variable
private int x; // instance varaible
public Foo(int x) {
    this.x = x;
    numFoos++;
// class method
public static int getNumFoos() {
    return numFoos;
// instance method
public int getX() {
    return x;
public static void main (String[] args) {
    System.out.println ("Foo.numFoos is " + Foo.getNumFoos ());
    System.out.println ();
    Foo foo1 = new Foo(42);
    System.out.println ("Foo.numFoos is " + Foo.getNumFoos ());
    System.out.println ("foo1.numFoos is " + foo1.getNumFoos ());
    System.out.println ("foo1.x is " + foo1.getX ());
    System.out.println ();
    Foo foo2 = new Foo(666);
    System.out.println ("Foo.numFoos is " + Foo.getNumFoos ());
    System.out.println ("foo1.numFoos is " + foo1.getNumFoos ());
    System.out.println ("foo1.x is " + foo1.getX ());
    System.out.println ("foo2.numFoos is " + foo2.getNumFoos ());
    System.out.println ("foo2.x is " + foo2.getX ());
    System.out.println ();
}

How do i install opensolaris without using the virtual box??

hi.
i am new to solaris
i am currently using a windows XP OS
i got down the opensolaris cd from SUN
how do i install opensolaris without using a virtual box ?

The OpenSolaris CD is a "Live CD". You can boot off of the CD, and either run the OpenSolaris operating system directly, or you can select the "Install" icon on the LiveCD desktop. You can find full instructions here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/getst1.html
Do you want to keep your Windows OS on the disk? If so, then you want to follow the instructions for partitioning your disk (unless you already have a spare partition).

RPM - How to re-process prices without using the front end.

Hi all,
There is a way of re-processing prices without using the front end? For instance, using the front end, a new clearance is created state in rpm_clearance ‘pricechange.State.conflictCheckforApproved’ and changed for ‘pricechange.State.worksheet’ after the conflict check.
Now, I want to re-process the same clearance without using the front end. I’ve tried to change again the STATE to ‘pricechange.State.conflictCheckforApproved’ but no success. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
