How to make keyboard do accent marks???

Ok. So I just got the Mavericks update. And now when I hold down a letter (in order to add an accent mark to it), it won't work anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this!?!? Because Apple sure doesn't. Please help

I have not moved to Mavericks, all my accents work as before using the option key, so if it has changed, try posting this in the Mavericks or I guess it is this one
http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
All the things I have done in the past, previous to Mavericks have worked as normal with the option key and a mod key.
Like I mentioned before I do not as of yet have Mavericks. so I can not advise you in any certainty.
If none of the "normal" option keys work for you, you may want to contact Apple and let them know????

    There's no setting or tool to do it.

    People have asked about this on other threads but so far no one has found a way to programmatically control the backlighting. I agree that it would be a useful feature.

  • How to make a special accent on 's'

    This is not strictly a InDesign question, but this is the place to get the answers! I am busy with school books in 6 different african languages, and one of the characters needed is the letter "n" (in upper and lower case) with an accent that looks like a v over it. I know how to do the inverted v that would be alt i.
    Who can work the magic?
    Lou

    Point taken! as I said I was busy on several African languages for one book, deadline Sunday so I apologise for not updating the people who are so ready for giving there help and advice.
    The truth is I hit 'Alt s' (on a mac CS5) one keystroke and there it was! copy and paste into 'Find and replace you get 'ß'
    But the publisher had supplied the various variations required in some languages in the Glyphs pallet and I do not know what happened to make this work.
    Any body know?

  • How to make keyboard modal?

    I have a bunch of text edit fields. When the user clicks on one of them the keyboard comes up. But they can touch on another field before they click the DONE button on the keyboard, then they might be editing two fields. I am currently closing off the edit when another one opens up but is there a simpler way, to make the keyboard entry modal so that no other touches can happen until then?

    Yes, absolutely. There is no limitation as to how many components a JDialog can contain.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JDialog.html
    In the JDialog's constructor you can pass :
    - the parent JFrame or JDialog,
    - whether the current JDialog is modal
    - its title.
    Then you add components the same than for a JFrame : setContentPane(a Container) or getContentPane().add(...).

  • How to Make the Default Button Marker Not Show Upon Launching...

    I am trying to only have the markers show up on the menu item when you roll over it.  However, when the menu is first launched, the marker is automatically showing up on the first button.
    I have selected "None" as the default menu button in the menu config.  I am also using Photoshop to make the menu and creating the (+) buttons there.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Create an invisible button (turn off the visibility of all layers) and
    set it to use Highlight Group 2 (edit the Menu Color Set).  Set the
    opacity of all the highlight states to 0%.  Make the invisible button
    the default button.

  • I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that.  Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese.  You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
    The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless.  It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts:  option + n, then o gives you õ.
    The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard.  But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
    You may prefer to stay with the US layout.  On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears.  Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
    Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
    Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
    To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

  • IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

    I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • How to make view automatically scroll when keyboard show up

    Hi all
    I'm like a totally noob for objective-c coding, let alone the iPhone programing. :P
    Anyway, I somehow manage to create a simple application that receive input via UITextField, do some simple math, then display the result in other UITextFields (which can act as a input vice versa).
    Problem is, when I use the UITextField at the buttom of the screen as an input, the keyboard will block that text field out of my view, so I could not see what I'm typing at all.
    That's the question. How to make my view scrollable, and make it simply scroll itself out of the way when the keyboard is shown? I already inherit my view from UIScrollView, but don't know what to do next. Can you guys help enlighten me, please?
    Thanx

    Of course, if you're dealing with textFields, you should change a few things try something like that in your .m file :
    - (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)theTextField
    if ([theTextField isEqual:yourTextField])
    // Restore the position of the main view if it was animated to make room for the keyboard.
    if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
    [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
    // Animate the entire view up or down, to prevent the keyboard from covering the author field.
    - (void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];
    // Make changes to the view's frame inside the animation block. They will be animated instead
    // of taking place immediately.
    CGRect rect = self.view.frame;
    if (movedUp)
    // If moving up, not only decrease the origin but increase the height so the view
    // covers the entire screen behind the keyboard.
    rect.origin.y -= kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
    rect.size.height += kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
    else
    // If moving down, not only increase the origin but decrease the height.
    rect.origin.y += kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
    rect.size.height -= kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
    self.view.frame = rect;
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    - (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notif
    // The keyboard will be shown. If the user is editing the author, adjust the display so that the
    // author field will not be covered by the keyboard.
    if ([yourTextField isFirstResponder] && self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
    [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
    else if (![yourTextField isFirstResponder] && self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
    [self setViewMovedUp:NO];
    #pragma mark - UIViewController delegate methods
    - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
    // watch the keyboard so we can adjust the user interface if necessary.
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:)
    name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:self.view.window];
    - (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
    [self setEditing:NO animated:YES];
    // unregister for keyboard notifications while not visible.
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
    be sure to invoke the method when you dismiss the keyboard, so that the view "falls back" to its normal state:
    if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
    [self setViewMovedUp:NO];
    Of course, declare the method
    (void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp;
    in the .h file
    and the #define you will use in you .m file :
    // the amount of vertical shift upwards keep the text field in view as the keyboard appears
    #define kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD 50.0
    // the duration of the animation for the view shift
    #define kVerticalOffsetAnimationDuration 0.30
    good luck !

  • How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?

    How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?
    When I look at some emails on my phone, I can see from the title that I don't need to read the email so I delete it without opening it. When I go to my Macbook Pro and open mail, the number of unread messages in my Trash shows next to the name. It drives me nuts. Can I just set a rule to mark all messages sent to trash as read? If that isn't possible, I'd take just making the number not show beside the Trash folder.

    Just in the case that I actually do need to go back to them for some reason. I have some OCD tendencies which is also why the number beside the folder drives me nuts.

  • How to make Mail stop marking messages from my Contacts as Junk?

    I use Mail to access both my Gmail and Mac mail. Mail has begun marking as Junk messages from my Contacts, including VIPs. In Preferences, I have checked the boxes to have Contacts and Previous Recipients exempt from email filtering, yet they still sometimes end up marked as Junk and sent to the Junk folder. These are all Gmail messages: I use my iCloud account very little. I've unchecked the Trust junk mail headers... and Filter junk mail before applying my rules. I don't see how to make Mail leave my Gmail alone! Can anyone help?

    Google recommends turning off Apple mail Junk filters if using gmail filters.

    In order to my xHarbour DOS Client program works fine with this Brazilian accented characters, I must to set:
    SET NLS_LANG=PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252
    And all is OK from my xHarbour DOS Client program.
    My problem is because when I query this data manually using a SELECT from any client DOS/WINDOWS program like SQLPLUS, SQLDEVELOPER, TOAD, etc, I get bad characters instead the correct Brazilian accented characters.
    Following you can see the same text into the Toad http://www.screencast.com/t/A1tal2Rtg

  • How to make a keyboard navigating multiple choice list in Flash and control it through actionscript?

    i am making an rpg style game in actionscript 3.0 and i want to make a multiple choice list. I know how to make the list with buttons and how to control it. My question is, how do you make a list that can be navigated using the keyborad arrows? What i am after is being able to hit up, and down to highlight the buttons and enter to chose the button.

    You'll need to make the buttons as movieclips so that you can control which display state they are in (highlighted versus not).
    Then you need to set up a listener for the keyboard keys so that you can have the selected button change and the execute if the Enter is pressed.  Here is a basic setup for a keyboard listener that shows how to detect the three keys you mentioned...
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyIsDown);
    function keyIsDown(e:KeyboardEvent):void  {
             if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN) {
                     trace("DOWN");
             } else if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.UP) {
                     trace("UP");
             } else if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER) {
                     trace("ENTER");

    Have you turned the phone off? If so, and it hasn't fixed the issue, try a reset:
    Press and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator, and wait for the Apple logo to reappear. Release buttons. No content will he changed with this process.

    Installation of driver software may be required. Do not expect any wireless device to automatically work with a Mac unless guaranteed to do so. In a case like this, use a wired USB keyboard (a PC keyboard should be OK) and a wired mouse to begin with.
