How to supress tab key stopping at lables

Hi everyone,
after upgrading to 5.0 from 4.02 and changing the theme to 26 (productivity), there is now a problem with the tab key.
Before, the tab key moved the entry scope simply to the next dialog field or list value; now the tab stops also at the labels.
That means, to skip from one entry field to the next, you have to press tab twice.
How can I change this back to the old way ?

thank you for your response. I came from theme no.2 (Builder blue). I´ve tested this case with Firefox and Chrome (actual versions). The label templates are mostly "Optional with help", "Optional" and "Required with help".
Now I found that "optional" is working as expected (without tabstop), while the others are producing stops.
This is happening because the "with help" label templates contain links for displaying item-level help, and they therefore receive focus when using keyboard navigation. This is actually good accessibility practice, and you are recommended to retain it. Changing labels so they don't use "with help" templates where there is no help is also appropriate.
The workaround used to avoid this standard behaviour in theme 2 is to include a tabindex attribute with a sequence number higher than the possible number of page items on the help links:
<label for="#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" id="#LABEL_ID#" tabindex="999"><a class="optional-w-help" href="javascript:apex.theme.popupFieldHelp('#CURRENT_ITEM_ID#','&SESSION.')" tabindex="999">
You could revert to this behaviour by editing the theme 26 "with help" label templates to include the tabindex:
<label for="#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" id="#LABEL_ID#" class="uOptional"><a class="uHelpLink" href="javascript:apex.theme.popupFieldHelp('#CURRENT_ITEM_ID#','&SESSION.')" tabindex="999">

  • Tab Key Stopped Working

    Hello,
    Does anyone know why the tab key would suddenly stop working?
    Running an iMac 27" with wired keyboard.
    Very frustrating.
    Thanks,

    Hello:
    I suspect that the KB has a hardware problem.
    However, you could reset the PRAM and SMC to see if that corrects the problem.

  • How to use tab key with JTextArea to shift focus

    Hi
    My problem is simple as whenevr i use tab key in my JTextArea, instaed of shifting focus to next component, it adds a tab space to my text.
    How do i shift focus out of my JTextArea.
    Ashish

    you can also redefine the textarea's TAB Key behaviour. The tutorial has a good example for that - better than i would be able to describe :-)

  • How to recognize "tab" key?

    hi all,
    i wrote an editor using swings. To provide input through console, i used the event handlers for keyboard events like
    keypressed(), key released()etc.. i also provided some tool bar for opening a file, saving etc. i was able to define the action for almost all the keys on the keyboard, except for some keys. i was unable to get the control of tab key. when i am pressing a tab key, the control is movig on toll bar options only. the conrol is not getting int the frame, on which i used to display the text.
    what i finally require is that how can i get the control of 'tab key' and how can i define some actions that are to be performed on pressing tab keys.
    i will be thankful if any body can help me in this regard.
    bye one and all,

    Try overiding the method isManagingFocus:
    public boolean isManagingFocus() {
    return true; //in order to catch TAB key
    in your text area.

  • How to use TAB key  rolling on the rank of a JTabbedPane ?

    I hope I can use TAB key to switch the different option item , how to do this ?
    Liwei

    You need to use a key listener. Something like:
            static class myKeyListener implements KeyListener
                    //KeyListener reuired methods
                    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
                            int a = e.getKeyCode();
                            //Check if they pressed tab
                            if (a == e.VK_TAB)
                                   //Do whatever
                    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
                    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
            }Then, put "myTabbedPane.add(myInstanceOfMyKeyListener" up where you're creating the pane, replacing "myTabbedPane" and "myInstanceOfMyKeyListener" with whatever variables you're using.

  • HT201236 my 'tab' key stopped working. I would like to assign a different key to replace it. is that possible?

    thanks!!

    Thanks for your replies.
    It is definite, according to my testings, that there is a hardware problem with the keyboard.
    i am looking for a way to assign a different key or combination of keys, instead of the 'tab' key.
    Illaass- I would rather find a way, within apples system to do this, rather than playing around with the system files... thanks

  • Revision: How to make tab control stop on a specific page upon pressing Pause?

    I have a scrolling tab which scrolls through the tab pages until the user presses Pause. That works. Now I want the tab control to stop on a specific page once the user presses Pause. How to do this?

    Well, hopefully I can give a simpler explanation of my project. There is a tab control (right now of 3 pages). I have written code which flips (scrolls) through the pages, one page per second approx. There is also a Pause button. When the user presses it, the scrolling of pages stops and whatever page is shown at the time of Pausing is the page that is viewable. So that could be page 1, 2, or 3 given when the Pause button was pressed.
    But now, I would like to implement the feature that when the Pause button is pressed the tab control, through coding, has no choice but to show Page 1 (for example) or whichever page I restrict it to.
    Actually I think I've got a idea now after typing this out, but your suggestions are very welcome!
    I've attached screenshots of my code to this reply. The first two show Case States in my code (scrolling, not scrolling) and the 3rd isof the Front Panel and the tab panel itself.

  • How to draw tab key char into Graphics g as space?

    Hi, all.
    following pg.drawString(token, 0, y); keep draw "\t" strange character like "o".
    eg: "\tpublic static"--after draw..--> opublic static".
    As you see below, I replace "\t" with " "(blankes).
    I test replaceString method. it works fine.
    but, once it draw it, it keep draw "o" string where the "\t" was.
    What's problem?
    //called for print.
    public int print(Graphics pg, PageFormat pageFormat,
              int pageIndex) throws PrinterException {
    //some code...
    String tabReplace=" ";
    StringTokenizer parser = new StringTokenizer(contents, "\n");
         try {
         while(parser.hasMoreTokens()) {
              String token=replaceString(parser.nextToken(), "\t", tabReplace);
              pg.drawString(token, 0, y);
              y+=fm.getHeight();
              y+=lineSpace;//lineSpace comes from use option               
         } catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
         System.out.println(e);
    //some code..
         public String replaceString(String contents, String replace,
                                                 String with){
              int indexHead=0, indexTail=0;
              while(( indexTail = contents.indexOf(replace, indexHead) ) >0){
                   contents=contents.substring(indexHead, indexTail)+
                             with+contents.substring(indexTail+replace.length());
                   indexHead+=with.length();
              return contents;
    f

    Any unprintable character draws the square 'o' on a graphics object, not only \t. Since your code is correct, it will replace away all \t in the string, means there are no \t left in the string. Since there is still unprintable character resident in the string, you need to check that the string that you draw is the correct one or which character that is unprintable. How about looping through the string and print the char-as-int to system int. Look for fairly low numbers < 32 and 127 as they would not be printable by normal means.

  • Tab key won't work. Works in IE8 and Safari but not Firefox. Thoughts?

    About a week ago, the tab key stopped working in Firefox (when I updated Firefox?). It works fine in IE8 and Safari. I love Firefox but will have to switch if I can't get this resolved.
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • ItemFocusOut not catching  "TAB" key in Datagrid edited cell?

    In DataGrid, "keyUp" can catch "TAB" key when it is pressed,
    but the Keyboard event has less information needed. I tried
    itemFocusOut, but it seems DataGridEvent would not catch it. Any
    tips on how to make "TAB" key generate DataGridEvent or similar
    event?
    Platforms with this issue: WIN-XP/JDK-1.6/Air-1.5/FLEX
    SDK-3.2
    Thanks!
    -Herbert

    Let me rephrase like this:
    In our application, a DataGrid’s edited cell has
    “itemEditEnd” and “itemEditBeginning”
    handlers defined. However when a “TAB” key is pressed
    to navigate from one editable cell to another editable cell, none
    of the above handlers can catch this special key stroke event.
    Our intention is to make “TAB” key to emit an
    event that can be caught by above handlers. Or, in other words, we
    would like make “TAB” key to be similar(in the sense of
    generating events) to that of “Enter” key when pressed.

  • Override "crtl + tab" key behaviour with "tab" key for JtextArea .

    I am trying to override the "crtl + tab" key behaviour for JTextArea with "tab" key plus add my own action. I am doing the following.
    1. Setting Tab as forward traversal key for the JTextArea (the default traversal key from JTexArea is "crtl + Tab").
    2. Supplementing the "crtl + Tab" key behaviour with my custom behaviour.
    For the point 2 above, I need to get hold of the Action represented by the "crtl + Tab" key so that I could use that and then follow with my own custom action. But the problem is that there is no InputMap entry for "crtl + tab". I dont know how the "crtl + tab" key Action is mapped for JTextArea. I used the following code to search the InputMap.
                System.out.println("Searching Input Map");
                for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                    InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i);
                    if (iMap != null) {
                        KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
                        if (ks  != null) {
                            for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
                                System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
                System.out.println("Searching Parent Input Map");
                for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                    InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i).getParent();
                    if (iMap != null) {
                        KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
                        if (ks  != null) {
                            for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
                                System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
                }In short, I need to get the Action associated with the "crtl + tab" for JTextArea.

    nirvan.

    There is no Action for Ctrl+TAB. Its a focus traversal key.

  • How to stop the "Tab Key" from acting as a "SEND" button in gmail

    Since installing the Firefox update today, when I hit the keyboard Tab Key in the course of composing an email on gmail, it sends the (!unfinished!) message. I need to disable this "feature". How?

    In the compose window if you hit tab you are tabbing through the buttons on the compose window. You have to hit space in order to sent the message. Please check to see if there is a feature in your gmail that is added to the default. Or see if there is an add on that has saved this feature. You can try safe mode to eliminate the add on theory [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] and reset Firefox if it is a saved application preference.

  • How do I use a Tab key to maximize a frame?

    How can I use a Tab key (vk_tab) pressed on the focused frame to actually maximize the frame... what action should it have attached to it?
    thanks!

    tab is the focus traversal key, so will be consumed before getting to your listener
    try this instead
        KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager()
         .addKeyEventDispatcher(new KeyEventDispatcher(){
            public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e){
              if(e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED)
                if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB ) f.setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
              return false;
        });
