How to turn off Function Keys permanently

How do you turn off the function keys permanently? In Quark I use the 'F' keys for guides etc... and just want to have to press one key, not two.

Before you go to the trouble of entering all the keys see if the Quark default F-Keys will work. I don't have much in the way of apps loaded on Leopard yet but the default Photoshop F-keys work without my disabling anything in keyboard shortcuts. F9 still brings up Expose in Photoshop but I haven't disabled it. I don't know, however, if Quark XPress works that way, though. They tend to play by their own rules

  • How to turn off 'Return Key jumps to next cell' in Tables?

    I can't find where you turn off this feature.  I want to type two paragraphs in a cell with a space between them.  I've wasted 2 hours trying to figure this out.  Please help!

    Hey, I just wanted to let you know I've been having the same issue with the new 3.0 update for Numbers and just found a keyboard shortcut that has helped me a great deal.  I guess I'll be using this until they add an option to turn that "Return Key Moves to Next Cell" off, like the older versions had...
    Anyway, if you place the cursor where you'd like a line break and press Ctrl+O (mind you I do mean Ctrl and NOT Command here), it will insert a line break at that place.  Hope this helps!

  • Help turning off function keys

    I am running Final Cut Pro on my Mac Book Pro, and would like to use the F Key shortcuts, but can't figure out how to override the default Mac settings. For example, I would like to use the F9 and F10 keys for Final Cut's overwrite and insert, but they just control the keyboard illumination. How do I get around this?

    I don't know how to turn off a kitten (I would probably get the Nobel prize if I did!) but Pierre is correct, although his target is wrong:
    System Preferences/Universal Access/Seeing - turn off VoiceOver.

  • How complitely turn off computer?

    How complitely turn off computer?

    Are you talking about where it shuts itself down after going through the shutdown routine?  If it's not doing it automatically when you issue a "shutdown -r now" (or the like) then it's probably an issue with power management.  There's a few ways to tackle that.  Either use APM or ACPI.  ACPI tends not to work all that great on computers that have really old bios.  In that case it's better to utilize APM.  Probably your issue is that the your system may not support ACPI very well or even at all.  However, it may support it, but the kernel is turning it off by default from detecting your BIOS being dated beyond a certain point in time.  They did that to error on the side of caution.  They opted to choose a conservative default assumption since it makes more sense in that at least most systems will be able to boot up without any problems by default.
    My computer used to be able to shutdown automatically through the use of APM, but not ACPI (ran into this issue when I upgraded my kernel from 2.4 series to 2.6 series back when I ran with Debian), but I ended updating it's BIOS and it worked fine with ACPI from there on.  My system is pretty old too, so it doesn't completely implement ACPI.  I think it's laptops that tend to make fuller use of ACPI anyway.  However, it seems like most desktops with the last 8 or so years make some minimal use of it at least.  So you can see there is many ways to approach this issue. 
    First thing to try is to look around in your BIOS setup to see if there is any ACPI related setting, like mentioned earlier.  That's a good place to start.  If you don't see any settings, it either means that your BIOS setup either don't allow you to set ACPI, doesn't support it, or just the current version of your BIOS doesn't allow changing related settings or make use of it.  So naturally, the next thing to check is the manufacturer's sight for your motherboard and find any BIOS related info.
    Upgrading the BIOS is probably the most elegent solution but it can be openning up a whole can worms if you don't know what you're doing.  If you botch flashing the BIOS you run the risk of turning your motherboard into a paper weight.  So the key there is make sure you at least read your manufacturer's instructions carefully and also make sure that your use the right utils and BIOS version for your BIOS and motherboard.  And don't dare have a power failure or shut the system off while it's rewriting the boot block.  That where people run into a serious problem of rendering their system completely unbootable since the system no longer has the most basic of code needed to even get the system to a state that it can even begin bootstrapping.  Technically, the motherboard isn't probably trashed, but at that point you have a chicken before the egg syndrome going on.  You can't get it to boot far enough to boot to anything, much less a floppy, to be able to reflash the bios to get yourself out of the pickle.  So when, and if that sort of thing happens, then it would require replacing the BIOS chip itself which may or may not require soldering. 
    Anyway, don't let that scare you, it's just to point out that when you're doing things like flashing a system's BIOS it's critical  to do it right since it's modifying the system on such a fundimental low-level.  If that part of the system isn't functional, everything else, like HD and floppy being able to load anything, is a moot point.
    If all of that stuff makes you uncomfortable, you may opt to utilize APM instead.  I can't remember exactly how to instruct the kernel to use APM instead of ACPI.  I believe there is kernel parameter you can set in your bootloader's settings.  I can't remember it off hand.  Sorry.

  • I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

    Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
    Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
    I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
    I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
    And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
    So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
    Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.

  • How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

    Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

    Chief:
      Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
    This comes from  Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
    TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
    InDesign  tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping  them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you  mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge  highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With  spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily  switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a  second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the  key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
    Holding  the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a  nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to  pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle  of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But  don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
    - Mike Rankin
    (Mike had suggests this several times in the past year,  though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over  on
    InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
    There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
    Basically  the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct  selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a  control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.

  • HT4623 How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry

    I recently bought Iphone 4s. I like the phone as such but one thing that I want to change is tap display while entering the passcode on lock screen. I don't want to see which keys I am entering as this can put my phone on risk as anyone close to me can see what keys I had pressed to unlock the phone.
    Please help to let me know "How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry" on locked screen.
    Thanks for the answers and suggestion.

    This cannot be done.  You should simply hide the display from others' view.
    iPhone 5S allows you to use your fingerprint instead of the passcode.

  • How to turn off phone keypad beeps?

    I've got a 3GS/3.1. I can't figure out how to turn off the phone keypad beeps. Under settings/sounds I've turned off keyboard clicks, but the phone keypad still beeps. Any suggestions?

    Did you ever get an answer to this question about you not being able to silent your keypad (ten key) tones on your Iphone? I am having this same issue, my boyfriend and i compared our settings and set them exactly the same. His keys are silent, my beep with each one I touch. I can't stand this? Did you ever get it resolved?
    Thanks

  • 'save in subfolder' - how to turn off by default ?

    'save in subfolder' - how to turn off by default ?
    Thank you for any help with this,
    TB

    It is really annoying when settings/features are added that just assume a specific work process - without an option to turn them off (or complicated work arounds).  And even more annoying when I am asked to submit a feature request after adobe randomly changes things.
    This was not a random change. The ability to render image sequences into a sub-folder was a feature request that we have received many many times over the years. Many After Effects users, myself included, sometimes forget to manually create a folder for an image sequence with the result of hundreds or thousands of files exploding into the renders folder or your desktop or wherever the render was saved to.
    We answered not only this common feature request but extended the functionality to all formats by the following:
    Adding the Save in Subfolder control to create a folder for any output module
    Adding support for creating and using folder paths in output file name templates (which naturally interacts with the Save in Subfolder control)
    Adding a new output file name template that creates a folder, which is used by default for image sequences
    All of these additions were vetted by actual After Effects users before we released the After Effects CC (12.2) update.
    not sure why defaults have to be changed.
    Perhaps I didn't answer your original question directly: there is not a simple option to stop Save in Subfolder from being enabled when you choose an image sequence format. This would be an additional control on top of the rest of this new functionality. It's not something we thought was necessary as part of the original design of these changes, but we could be convinced to add it in the future. So if you (or anyone else) would like to see this added, please submit a feature request.
    The reason why you can get the result you want by changing default output file name template is because that is how the logic works in After Effects. Choosing an image sequence format triggers the use of the Comp Folder and Name template. Changing what that template contains will apply your new rules instead.
    Regardless of the template, you can always change the output file path on a case-by-case basis by simply unchecking Save in Subfolder or by choosing a different output file name template.

  • How to turn off camera-sound (6120 classic)

    i have no idea how to turn off the camera sound from my nokia 6120 classic
    no matter wich profile i use (completely silent, just vibra, etc.), the camera always makes this annoying "click" every time i take a picture
    is there a possibility to turn this sound off or at least replace it?
    thx

    well , you're right, but the law argues that a digital camera looks like a digital camera so it's easier to spot by the person being photographed. also, a digital camera has no other function but to take pictures, so one can't assume it's being used for any othe purpose. on the othe hand, a phone can't be identified as a camera right away. so it's easier to take pictures of unwilling subjects.
    Fear not those who argue but those who dodge
