[SOLVED] Highlighted text in the shell, appearance rxvt-unicode

Hi,
Short question, when I highlight text in the shell or when text get highlighted in ncmpcpp or outer app running in the shell it gets basically impossible to read. Because background to text get the same color and strength then the text.
what setting should I look for to change what it look like when I mark and highlight text in the shell?
Thank you!
All the best,
Christer

In a document with several sections, in section VIII and IX one cannot select the text of the page foot nor set the pointer in it; so, one cannot write nor change the page foot text. Please help!

Question already asked and answered several times.
It's a bug striking in long documents.
Select a word somewhere higher in the page then use the arrows to reach the wanted insertion point.

How can I highlight text in iPages with a 'virtual' fluorescent marker

How can I highlight text in iPages with a virtual fluorescent marker?

The text highlight option is the little box on the toolbar with the "a" and a diagonal line through it (That is the default transparent highlight option).

I cannot send nor receive emails. The message I get is that I need to type in my account password which I've done but still unable to send or receive. I get texts fine

My Iphone 4 is new, and I have been able to send and receive texts, but cannot send nor receive emails. I get the message that I need to input my password for my yahoo account which I've done many times. When I type messagefor outgoing it only allows me to save as a draft. Any ideas?

Are you positive you're typing the correct password in? You might want to try and reset your password, and try again. You'll get texts because it isn't connected to your email account.

I cannot send a photo nor a text message that contains a photo

I cannot send a photo nor a text message that contains a photo from my iphone. My cellular is on & my Wi-Fi. I have tried sending a photo with both on, WiFi off & cellular on, and WiFi on with cellular on. What else can I try?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Acrobat 9 Pro: Cannot copy highlighted text unless I un-highlight the text

I have highlighted text in a document. When I go to copy that same text, it selects the entire sentence. I right-click, the menu starts with "Set Status." There is no "copy" option. Neither is control-C successful. When I next paste, it pastes a previously selected text, not the text I am attempting to copy in Acrobat. The only way I have found to copy the highlighted text is to un-highlight it, and then copy it. Are there any other solutions?
Thanks!

Thank you! This works. I pressed "shift," then highlighted the text I want to copy, and right-click (while still holding down "shift" key), and "Copy" finally appears in the menu.

Vim keeps freezing and I cannot highlight text with my mouse

title says it all. Vim will freeze on me randomly. I was having X issues earlier but stopped using the nvidia driver and that seemed to fix that, but now Vim freezes. I'll be in Insert mode and it simply will not accept any of my keystrokes or attempts to esc to command mode.
Eventually it'll unfreeze and then process all the keys I pressed while it was frozen (about 1-2 minutes later).
The only thing going on in my .vimrc is a color scheme. This happens in urxvt, in an ssh shell, and in screen.
And for some reason I can't used my mouse to highlight text in vim either in all the shells previously listed.

Try resetting the SMC and PRAM.

I cannot highlight text

My HP PhotoSmart 7525 printer came with limited Acrobat function when using SCANNER mode and choosing SCAN AS .pdf. I am able to add sticky notes to a scanned file, but when I try to HIGHLIGHT TEXT, I get the change in cursor shape (as if to begin highlighting), but dragging over the text does nothing.

HP provides a "make PDF" routine in the software it provides with HP scanners. It is no Adobe's Acrobat.
PDF is an ISO Standard (since 2008). Any software house can make routines that create PDF.
Some are even worth their salt.
Anyway, typically HP also provides OCR capability with the software it provides with HP scanners.
So, use the HP routines to get an OCR'd PDF.
Then use Adobe Reader XI (which provides the full set of Comment and Drawing Markup tools) to highlight.
You need to OCR output because the Highlight tool HAS to have actual text -- an image or picture of text does not cut it.
(Scanner output is always an image / picture of what was on the paper.)
Be well...

Is it possible to highlight text without a pop-up being made in Acrobat XI?

I am trying to figure out if its possible to highlight text without a pop-up being made as I am using the highlighter tool to just mark important information for quizzes and do not need a pop-up made each time I highlight! Is there a way to disable pop-ups being created? Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your reply Dave, but I want to know if a pop-up has to be created internally when highlighting. Can you disable to sticky note part of the highlight?
Here's an example: I highlight my college books and don't need all those pop-ups being made behind the scenes. In Acrobat X, all of my highlights would slow down the program immensely,
thankfully in XI, it doesn't happen at all, nor do I want it to in the future. Thank you for your time.

How to highlight text with Adobe Reader XI?

email [email protected]

Thanks. The PDF file was made from a web site article and I guess this is the same as scanned as I cannot highlight. The cursor changes but cannot highlight what I want.
I was able to add text and I did this in Red and will ask the VA to read under the sections marked in Red.
Thanks,

Highlighting Text In Pages 4 and 5: How To/Best Methods?

Hello Fellow Macers:
I need advice on the best way to highlight text in Pages 4 and 5:
I use and prefer Pages 4.3. Yes, I have Pages 5.2, and I find that using it good for some things (dictating into a document), but not so good for others - highlighting text.
For example, I read tons of documents and like to make notes, comments and especially highlight text according to a color-code scheme that I have used for years.
For those who use Word, this process of highlighting text is pretty straight-forward:
You highlight your text and then simply click your highlight box on the Word toolbar (choose a default color, usually yellow) and you're done. If you need to use another color, just use the pull-down, as seen above. The drawback in Word - no Orange, or sectrum option.
But let's face it - Word as a program is just too much. As someone who has used every word processing program under the sun, I find Pages excellent. It does what I need.
However, I find highlighting text in Pages clumsy. Here's what I need to do to highlight text in Pages 4.3:
Go to your toolbar, and then choose a highlight/background color. It's more labor intensive then Word, above, but you do have the option of more colors.
Then there's this method, where basically you get to simply use yellow as your color:
IMHO both are clumsy methods compared to Word, but have become even more so in Pages 5.2....
Lots of clicks to achieve simple color highlights.
Am I missing something, or is there a simpler way, in either Pages 4 or Pages 5, to achieve the above results???
Any suggestions appreciated!

Dear VikingOSX:
As Ed MacMahon once said (before your time?) re Pages 5 Character Fill Color: "You are correct, sir!!"
The gear icon IS where the function that I'm talking about is located. Still, it's annoying.
Q: Why?
A: Because from a work-flow perspective as someone who is highlighting it makes no sense. We in the Western world read and write from top to bottom, left to right. Making a mark on a doc should follow the same flow.
You should not have to keep looking over to the right side of the doc to find your function. Logically it should be at the top (e.g., toolbar), on the left, or perhaps some contextual pop-up option.
Furthermore, it's more "labor intensive" from this point of view: In Word, once you set the color (which, granted, you may need to change from time to time IF you, like me, use multiple colors as part of your highlighting workflow), you just click the box after highlighting the text - 1 click vs 2, and possibly 3.
The "richer color" part of my comment was just to note that a flaw, in my view, of Word's basic scheme is that:
1) It lacks an Orange. And we've all used an Orange highlighter at somepoint, right? Or perhaps, you were like me in High School and threw them instead. But you get the point...and
2) Having a wider pallatte available as an option - which you do in Apple's scheme - is nice. I use color coding/highlighting to make notes and save time. The colors tell me what's important, what's next important, key terms, etc. Also, for example, if I wanted to outline my highlighting notes, the color scheme (which has a heirarchy based on color, right?) allows me to do this quickly because it's already there.
As for the Dictation function working on Pages '09/4.3 - again, you are correct, sir! And that's great to know. I had tried to use it before when the new Pages 5 (hitting fn twice on Pages 4.3) but it didn't activate. I tried it after reading your response and Bingo! It's Alive! So thanks for that tip.
Your keyboard shortcut scheme is an interesting idea, and I may try it as an experiment. My intuition is that it will not work as straight-forwardly as Word's toolbar pull-down will, but I might be wrong. We'll see.
And yes, I do use Pages '09 (4.3) instead of Pages 5 for exactly this reason (see my discussion)
Great reply! Thanks!

Highlighting Text in pdf Documents using Preview

Am using Snow Leopard (10.6.3) with Preview version 5.0.2.
Tried highlighting text using the instructions in Preview help. No success.
I click Annotate; chose the Highlight Colour but then appear to be unable to select the text.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for the hint. I think I've just discovered why I cannot do it. The pdf document I'm trying to highlight is the result of the output from a scanner. Hence it is effectively a "picture" - not text. The only thing that I have been able to do is to choose Annotate and then choose "Add Oval" or whatever and select its size and colour and then position this over the text I wish to highlight.
Because it is effectively a picture you cannot select text. I tried it on another pdf document that IS text and your solution works a treat.
Thanks again
Malcolm

Highlighting text won't stay on

When I highlight text it often won't stay on, and when it does and I try to move the selection, it just beeps at me and sits there. What's up?

Ok. In System Preferences > General, Apple applies the term “Highlight” instead of “Selection” color.
In Pages v5(.2), I select a passage of text and it reflects my first sentence color setting. You can leave this alone and visit any menu or side panel setting, and the selection in the body text will remain selected. It will remain selected, if you leave the Pages document and click in another application. When you return to this Pages document, click anywhere but the body text to regain document focus. The next click in the body text should be a click/hold/drag on the selection to move it, or a press of the space bar to remove the selected text. This is mouse-based behavior.
If you are using a Trackpad, whether built-in or external, you must be very careful not to brush against it while in your Pages document, or your selection focus will be lost.
I am using the above Pages on OS X 10.9.4 and do not experience a loss of selection, or an inability to drag/move or remove the selection. I have tried with both mouse and Trackpad following the preceding guidelines and cannot reproduce what you have stated.

How do I highlight text in Pages?

How do I highlight text in Pages - none of the menus, nor the 'Help' function seems to help...

It's tough searching for something when you can't guess the terms to use. It's called a "background color." You can choose a color from the format bar.

I cannot mark nor highlight text
