How to disable keyboard strokes

Hey..........can anyone help me!!!How does one disable the keyboard input....i.e,if i have a textfield and i want to give input through another panel or frame containing buttons, and disable the input through keyboard.....Any 1 ?????plz..

Hi,
You can disable the text field by doind the following I think:
textField.setEditable(false);
Then use:
String someString = textField.getText();
someString += someOtherString;
textField.setText(someString);To append to the field. This should work for all JTextComponents.
Hope that helps :D

How to disable keyboard shortcut for Type-And-Transfer

Hi,
I'm trying to create a macro in Excel that I want to use the ctrl+shft+h keyboard shortcut. However, Lenovo's Type-and-Transfer tool has hijacked that shortcut so everytime I try to use the shortcut within Excel it launches the Type-and-Transfer tool. I've looked everywhere and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to disable this keyboard shortcut from launching the Type-and-Transfer tool. Anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
jd

Hi,
here is what I would check in:
Registry:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LENOVO
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo
<sorry as I don't havea system with this shortcut type I cannot find the exact same key combination>
My second thought is going more in the direction of an application, that is called Keyboard Customizer
Try this one, if that will fit your request.
Let me know any update, that you can give on this situation.
Cheers

How to disable keyboard on 768

My keyboard types Q;s continous after booting up, is there a way to disable the keyboard in bios? I plan on using
it as a desktop so need to know how to disable the laptops keyboard.

hi chuckinnc,
You probably referring to the Lenovo N100 (Type: 0768). AFAIK, this unit doesn't have an option to turn off the keyboard via BIOS (or any lenovo unit that I know off) and the only way to disable the keyboard is to detach the keyboard ribbon out of the system (note that you may get a 021x:keyboard error during POST).
As for the keyboard typing Q's continuously, you probably have a stucked Q key. Try to use a compressed air and Q-tips to remove dirt that might be causing the Q-key to be stucked.

How to disable keyboard illumination

I really like Expose. I really don't care for keyboard illumination. When I try to use the Expose keys (F9 and F10) I affect the keyboard illumination, but do not trigger Expose.
How can I disable keyboard illumination to allow me to use those keys for Expose.
Yes, I know that I can Function-F9 and Function-F10, but I'd rather have a single keystroke.
I've turned off keyboard illumination in the Keyboard system pref, but it still won't let me use those Expose keys.
Clues?
TIA -

I really appreciate all the help you folks have put in here.
It seems that the Function key behaviors I loved so much on my G4 PowerBook are just hosed forever with the oh-so-nifty backlighting on the MacBook Pro.
It's kinda sad, because Expose is really useful and the backlit keyboard, while I'm sure it makes for an eye-catching demo, is at the edge of useless for touch typists.
Maybe Apple can be persuaded to reconsider, maybe flipping Expose and the backlit so that Expose is the one-key functionality and backlight controls will require the multi-key contortions.
Hey, I can dream, can't I?
I was going to post the suggestion to feedback.apple.com, but it looks like feedback is 404....

How to disable keyboard print screen option

Dear All,
In my application i want to disable keyboad print screen button programatically, if any one know pls guide me....
Reagrds,

Hi Vijay,
to disable it just in your application is no good. You should disable it for the current user at all!
Did you try to Google "disable keyboard print screen"? There are so many solutions listed...

How to disable keyboard popup for iphone 5s?

Hi
I have recently purchased iphone 5s running iOS 7.1.1.
I am not finding option to disable keyboards pop up.
may i know from where i can disable keyboard popup's?

Thank you very much for your kind response.
Actually, In control center I was having "Music" option but it had changed by mistake and now showing "Line" option. I would like to change to "Music". Hope you could understand my problem. Kindly help me to reset this option. Thank you very much in advance.
That means the last thing you listened to was from line.
If you go to your music and play a song and then stop, then go back to control center it will show you the last song/music.

How to capture keyboard strokes while focus is on an external app. Opened with system exec

Hi to the Forum,
I have an application that runs an external app. Through system exec, while this application is open the user needs to input a 6 digit serial number using the keyboard, I need to capture in parallel that information on my main VI in order to perform some information validations, such as the six digits were entered, the serial number is not repeated etc. I have read other post about the same issue but did not found a practical way to achieve a solution, please help with an example of how to do that as I'm on the final stage of the project.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

How to disable keyboard shortcut "Control Shift Down"

Hi,
I'm mildly surprised that I couldn't find the answer to this little problem I have.
I'm running a PC version of Excel through VMWare under Mac OS X 10.7, and it works perfectly fine except that the keyboard shortcut for selecting continguous cells in a column - Control-Shift-Down - produces a weird "slow-mo" version of F10, which is showing all windows in the current application.
First of all, I hardly see this "feature" to be of any practical use as you can accomplish the same (without the slow-mo effect) by hitting F10 by default.
Secondly, this prevents me from doing something actually useful in Excel which is selecting continguous cells in a column.
Can someone please give a tip to disable this useless shortcut? I've looked everywhere in Keyboard settings in Preferences without success.
Can't believe no one else has the same issue.
TIA
-Wk

Thanks a lot for your post. I tried your suggestion and indeed got the Excel short-cut back. It wasn't obvious as "Mission Control" and "Application Windows" are mapped to F9 and F10 (rather than the ctrl-shift-down" combo).
It's ok since I don't really have any use for shortcut launching "Mission Control" or "Application windows".

How to disable right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?

Hello All,
We are currently working on an issue. We want to display a pdf to users but not allow them to save it. Though we are able to hide the menubar and toolbars, the Shortcuts F8, F9 and Ctrl+Shift+S is the undoing of all. The user can still use these shortcuts to enable toolbar and menubar. Can anyone suggest how to disable the right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?
Thanks in Advance

Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

How can we disable keyboard shortcuts on webpages?

I am using the add-on firemacs, which allows us to edit text with emacs key-bindings.
The problem is: some key-bindings (set by firemacs) are overwritten at several webpages (e.g. Evernote and StackExchange).
For example, Ctrl-b moves normally the text cursor to the previous character in a textarea. But in the textarea at any site of StackExchange, Ctrl-b creates `**strong text**`.
Is it possible to disable keyboard shortcuts without disabling shortcuts for firemacs?
The trivial solution is to disable JavaScript. But I want to know a possibility of other solutions.

StackExchange links to a bunch of other sites, so I looked at the superuser.com site. The specific script that creates the interactive features of the editor is http://cdn.sstatic.net/Js/wmd.en.js. It's minified so I can't figure out the call needed to remove the keypress event listener. (Actually, I'm not sure I could figure it out even with the full source, as I don't use jQuery.) Maybe it's a question for StackOverflow?

NOT disabling keyboard/trackpad on tablet fold...

This is probably the opposite of user problems regarding the keyboard/trackpad and turning the Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode... Here's the situation:
I'm a Java programmer and I'm sharing my files with my home PC, so I can work from my laptop or desktop easily without transferring files back and forth.
It's no fun adjusting my typing to multiple different keyboards for different PCs, and overall I tend to prefer a trackpad over a mouse for what I do which makes using my lenovo yoga keyboard ideal for everything (majority of wireless keyboards also aren't backlit).
I'm using the program Mouse without Borders (from the Microsoft website) so that I can use my lenovo yoga keyboard/trackpad on my desktop.
What I want to do: keep my keyboard and trackpad enabled when putting the yoga into tablet mode. I've already figured out how to disable the touchscreen for such uses, but the only way I know to keep the keyboard and trackpad active is to uninstall the synaptics driver/software. Obviously that isn't an ideal solution to have to install and uninstall it every time I switch between PCs.
Is there any way to stop synaptics from disabling the keyboard and trackpad when in tablet mode? Preferrably something such as disabling something in device manager, not uninstalling and reinstalling software depending my use for the moment.

Please provide more information.
First, I have no idea what "Jimi to Jimi" means. This is probably just something you need to explain to me; a Google search didn't turn up anything useful.
You said that the keyboard and trackpad aren't working right. What does this mean, exactly? Regardless, the monitor you use should have no effect on the function of your other peripherals.

Yoga 2 Pro: auto disabling keyboard in laptop mode bug

Hello.
I have a problem with my Yoga: very often (even if notebook placed on table) in laptop mode its disabling keyboard and touchpad on several seconds and then enabling it again. This enable/disble (flap) occurs time to time, most often after computer power on.
In this case work with mail or surfing web in laptop is not possible.
Someone have a hint how to repair it or how to enable keyboard manually permanently? Laptop is still on warranty, not broken, didn’t fall, win 8.1.
