How to REPEAT an action?

In iPages if you want to expand a word -- that is, increase the horizontal spacing of the letters -- you click Inspector, then Text, then Character and maybe raise the zero setting to 6% with six more mouse hits. Often I'll want to do the same thing several times on a page, so I repeat the whole sequence each time.
Surely there's a better way! And if so I'd love to know it
(A long time ago in another Mac/WORD life I recall hitting Command-Y to repeat an action).

Thanks for your suggestion, Peggy. I can see there are times that might do it for me.
But because of the way I like to expand captions in certain typefaces to different extents, I'm hoping there's actually a keyboard shortcut that repeats an action -- just like Command-Y used to do (maybe still does) in Word 5 for Mac. It would be sooo useful. So why not go to Help>Keyboard Shortcuts and find the answer? Because it doesn't seem to show everything, for instance I don't see Edit-Undo (Command Z) or Redo (Shift-Command-Z).
Despite having used a Mac for 20 years, I've never taken part in an Apple discussion before and it seems like I've been missing something good! Your speedy response is much appreciated,
Thanks again . . . Fortes

    I'm an avid eBay seller and shopper. Every time I move from one of my items back to my eBay main page I get this pop up "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action that was performed earlier." How do I disable the message? Running current version of Firefox for windows and Vista.

    Are you getting that anytime you visit a page? Or after you hit the 'refresh', 'back' or 'forward' button?
    This error is not usually an error telling you that anything is broken, it's warning you that you are re-doing something you have already done. The page that you are trying to re-access, or refresh was a page that was doing something. Maybe you told the page to search for something, or you were filling out a form, or perhaps doing something like adding something to a shopping cart. Firefox warns you in case it's something you really don't want to do again; for example, accidentally buying a second toaster, or re-sending a comment form.
    If you only were searching or navigating around a page, it's generally ok to press the 'Resend' button.
    This safety feature is not unique to firefox, I can't offhand think of a browser that doesn't have it (though the wording may vary).
    However, if you are getting it constantly, every page you visit, on every website, all the time, then it's a bug.

  • Please tell me how I can stop this from happening?"To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

    Please can you tell me how to stop this message from appearing on my computer, it happens a lot and it is frustrating.

    Does that happen when you use the Back button? If so, don't use the Back button, right-click or click-hold that Back button and use the Back / Forward history menu that appears to load the previous page from that menu. That should avoid the appearance of that security warning message, which can't be turned off. If that is happening on web pages that don't involve financial transactions, that website really should be fixed so that security message doesn't appear.

  • Every time my browser refreshes I get the pop-up To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Resend Cancel" How do I get rid it?

    It has never done this before. I play a game that constantly refreshes the page & have never had problems before until yesterday. I have looked in tools and there's nothing in the option section that will let me stop it. Is there somewhere else to look?

    Perhaps someone should report this to MarketWatch. There are ways for web developers to work around this issue (GET after POST, for example).

    In past discussions about this message, I have never seen an easy solution. Arguably it should be made a user preference: those who prefer to be warned about the risk that they will double-submit a transaction or instruction on a poorly designed site can have their warning, and those who prefer to take their chances can take their chances. Not sure whether that is on anyone's "to do" list.
    Separate issue: I wasn't aware of any difference between 3.6.12 and 3.6.13, but both are riddled with security vulnerabilities so it's hard to recommend using either of them at this point.

    same issue. started happening when I upgraded to the latest FF (3.6.3). very annoying. happens when i use my back button or click refresh.

  • How to reference the output of a repeat item action in relation to the repeated inputs?

    For example; I have 3 actions:
    Action 1: output produces 6 entries in a list (with unique IDs)
    Action 2: repeats over action 1's output, produces a list of 'results' for each as an output list of 6 entries.
    I now want to use Action 3 to update the items using their ID output from Action1 with the relevant result from Action2.
    In psuedocode; I'd do something like this to set the 6 results iteratively : MyItems( action1.outputs[x].id ) . results = Action2.outputs[x]
    I'm unsure of the syntax in Logic Apps to achieve this, any help appreciated!
    Cheers!

    Currently there is no build in solution to support such a scenario. You would need to set up an ApiApp that applies the assignment and returns the new object. In order to access the corresponding outputs of action1 and action2 you can repeat over the range
    of indices -- that is, assuming you don't know then numbers of entries in advance, let action3 (that consumes the new custom ApiApp) repeat over
    @range(0, length(outputs('action1').repeatItems))
    you can then pass the data as inputs to action3 using
    @outputs('action1').repeatItems[repeatItem()]
    @outputs('action2').repeatItems[repeatItem()]
    Hope this helps

  • How do I stop this pop up ----To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

    It happens every time I reload a facebook app any app really and its really pissing me off the constant problems.

    You Can't? PPFT! I was just gone on vacation ( Aug 12 2011), got back and now I'm getting this, "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier" I was in a forum that I always go to (not at a merchandise website) and have NEVER had this message there or any where! I'm not about to load a bunch of tabs just so I can look back and forth. It seems Fire Fox has updated behind my back and now it's all messed up. I don't thing people would be complaining about it if it wasn't something unusual that just happened.

    Hi pissedadobeuser,
    Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
    Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
    Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

  • I play KOC on fb and everytime I refresh I get this: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. What can I do to fix this?

    When playing my fb game KoC I need to refresh a lot and every time I do I get this message: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How can I disable this message?

    Just give us a means of opting out if we don't care about POST data; or opting out for certain web sites. We have an application that I use hundreds of times a day at work and as a result, I get that message hundreds of times. Opening new tabs doesn't help because I'd have to open numerous tabs, and then it takes time to figure out which tab is the "back" tab.

  • "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

    To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Then I must click on Resend or Cancel. Then I must click on Resend or Cancel.
    How can I set this automatically resend?
    please let me know!!

    That is not possible.
    Do you use the Back button to go to a previous page?
    You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page or refresh a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a (hidden) POST form.
    Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form.
    Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
    A way to prevent this pop-up about resending POST data is not to use the Back button, but to open links on a page requested from a server by sending a form with POST date in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or hold down the Ctrl key and left-click the link.
    Then you can close that tab or window to go back.

    we have created a Z-Button that afterwards creates an event. In the coding for the event an Action Profile should be called and a PDF-Document should be opened. We have copied the coding from the standard button 'Print Preview' which is calling the standard event: EH_ONPRINT_PREVIEW.
