Is it possible to use the keyboard arrow keys to adjust the exact position of a text box in PE11?

Hello all,
Could someone please give me a tip on a precise way to move a text box a pixel to the left (or right) - any direction really, using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of the mouse.
This may sound like a daft question but the only way I can move a text object is by using the mouse and dragging text boxes precisely in any direction is a real pain, especially if I have many of them.
The mouse just can't be the only way.
I wish the arrow keys could work just like in Microsoft Word. When the text box is selected and the arrow cursor is also activated, one can adjust the exact position of the text box.
It doesn't seem to work in Pr.Elements 11 though. I tried various combinations (Alt + left/right), (Ctrl + left/right) etc. and still nothing.
Is this possible at all?
Thanks in advance to those that will bother to respond.

Hi Bill,
Thanks. We do have Adobe CC and therefore I have access to PrPro but I spent some time getting to know Element's interface already and was hoping I would not have to use PrPro, which is slightly more complicated.
It is only small to medium edit jobs that I need editing software for anyway.
That is a shame really!
As far as I am aware, there is a newer version (PE12) that is now availble. Does anyone know if they have improved the functionality in terms of precise title positioning in that latest version?
Thanks.
Pavlin

Such as a computer keyboard.
With BACKSPACE, TAB WITH SETTINGS, DELETE, TYPE OF TYPE, BOLD TYPE, UNDERLINE ETC....
I HAVE A KEYBOARD COVER AND IF I NEED TO USE CERTAIN KEYS I HAVE TO SWITCH TO MY KEYBOARD CASE AND THAT IS VERY INCONVENIENT.
IT IS ALSO A TIME WASTER.
When you installed iOS 8 did you read about the new features? Applications can create custom keyboards…

You need to look for an app that has a custom keyboard with the features you require, I suggest you find one without CAPSLOCK

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
Again you need to look at how to manage the device - these settings can be turned off already & you can edit the 'suggestions' too.
Settings > General > Keyboards > turn Auto-Correction Off.
Sadly you cannot disable autocorrect temporarily, so it's all or nothing.

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

You are more likely to get an answer if you post programming problems to the Developer forum. This forum is intended for normal user level problems.

When I press on the down arrow key (or up) the web pages jumps all the way to the bottom (or top)

So basically the up and down key are acting as "home" and "end".
If I click on the page I can get them to work somewhat normally, although there is a cursor (like for imputing text) and it goes line by line when I press up and down (instead of scrolling) very annoying and I'll be switching to Chrome for good unless this is resolved for me.

that was it... thank you

Direct selection - moving anchor points with keyboard arrow keys

Hi,
I am using Illustrator CC. I just used the image trace tool to create a vector version of my company logo. It worked pretty well, but I am now just trying to clean it up a bit. I have a few anchor points that I just want to nudge up or down in the smallest increment possible.
I think it would be easier for me to do this using the keyboard arrow keys rather than using the mouse, but the arrow keys cause my selected anchor point to jump by way too large of a distance. I checked to make sure Smart Guides, Snap to Grid, and Snap to Point are all turned off. I can't think of anything else to do.
Can anyone tell me what controls how far the keyboard arrow keys will move an anchor point, and how I can set this to the smallest possible distance?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Under Preferences (Command-K on Mac), on the first screen there is Keyboard Increment. This is the amount the arrow keys will move selected content, such as anchor points.
I usually keep this at "0.005 in", but when doing things that need extreme accuracy, I change it to "0.0002 in", which on my screen (2560 x 1600) is one pixel at AI's 6400% magnification.

How can I make my slideshow respond to keyboard arrow keys?

Hello,
I think I actually got the question to say it all.
A lot of time you run across a slide show and you can use your keyboard arrow keys to move through the slideshow.
Sometimes you have to click on the slide show once to get this interactivity.
Can Muse widget slideshows be made to do this or must I click on the slideshow arrows to move through the show?

The feature isn't supported at this time. Feel free to submit it as an idea though - http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas
The available keyboard shortcuts can be found here.

Go to System Preferences->General. There you can set how you wamt thescrool bars to behave.
If you want to see the scrool bars all the time select Always

Dreamweaver CC crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows.

I'm really fond of the new Dreamweaver CC, but on some occasions, it crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows, for example, to move it two or three pixels.
This is happening on a recent pc (i5 / 16Gb ram / Intel SSD / Bootcamped Windows 8 x64)
F12 is also really slow when publishing via Chrome. Firefox or Internet Explorer is faster.
Is there a fix for these issues?
Thanks,

Apart from the FluidGrid Layouts feature, DW is not a click and drag app like Photoshop or Muse. You should be using the CSS panels to align elements with floats, margins and padding.
Keep Chrome open and refresh browser (F5).

TS2972 is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?

My wife and I have itunes accounts and want to be able to share music we have each bought on our accounts. We have tried setting up the home sharing on our PC but it doesn't show up on the screen. Can anyone please help?

"Is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?"
No. Home sharing is used to connect two running instances of iTunes across a network. When you switch users on the computer all applications running on the other profile are suspended.
You can however share your respective media folders so that they are visible in either profile and then copy over any content that you want, or you could create a single joint library which you use when either user is logged in.

I used to be able to skip a cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys

I placing a number or text in a cell i used to be able to skip the cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys. I can't now? Using the RETURN key only goes down a cell. I want to go right? Why?

Hi Mark,
In Numbers 3, an arrow key moves the cursor one cell up, down, left or right.
Tab moves one cell right. Shift tab moves one cell left.
The command key and an arrow key will take the cursor to top, bottom, left or right of a table.
via the arrow keys (next to the letterM and question mark?).
I am puzzled by this. Between the letter M and ? I have < above comma (,) and > above full stop (.)
Shift command < zooms out and shift command > zooms in.
Regards,
Ian.

Is it possible to use List Type in XML schema within the SOA Rule author?

Is it possible to use List Type in XML schema within the SOA Suite Rule author? The reason is that with the following XSD, Rule author generates XML facts of type "List" for the element "ResultSet". Basically I want to check the Input facts (Input1, Input2, Input3) for some conditions and then assign action to the element Resultset of type List (array). The output Resultset can contain multiple values based on the input facts. My problem is that I am unable to see the ResultSet in the "Assign" action type of the action block. Is it possible to use the Resultset of type List with the Rule author or is there any limitation on the rule author and any workaround for this?

Hi Richard,
I have slightly modified the xml schema you suggested and was able to import into the rule author. the following is the modified XSD. Rule Author created a List type for the "ResultSet" . I still don't see "Resultset" in the assign action, so I tried creating RL function in order to assign the output to the "Resultset", but was unsuccessful so far. can you please let me know how to populate the resultset with the output values? Thanks a lot.

Hello, my backspace and enter keys suddenly stopped working. I have done a PRAM reset and used the keyboard viewer to see if the buttons work and they don't. The PRAM reset didn't work either

Dear All, the backspace and enter keys on my wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working. Im using OS 10.7.5 and have tried a PRAM reset which didn't work. I also used the keyboard viewer to see if the keys worked on that but they don't. This is driving me mad, can anyone please tell me what to do? It happened just after an update but this could be a coincidence. Thank you for your time

For my computers, though some of them support BlueTooth devices and accessories,
my preference and economy of standard, is to have wired USB and also use powered
USB hubs for accessories.
I've used USB wired keyboards and mouse products; and some I've bought from the
original owners who had upgraded to BT, and never used the new Apple USB model;
so I have spares of these on-hand since they seldom fail, but do work when BT won't.
{A SMC reset should not cause a problem, or seldom has; but can solve some.}
In my opinion, the wired USB keyboard is an essential accessory, if not a necessary
primary means of user access on a continuous basis. At least until the wires fail...!

When I use the keyboard on my iphone 5, the keyboard takes a mind of its own. If I press a letter sometimeIs it puts the letter twice. It puts periods when I don't want it to. And if I hesitate on a letter it starts erasing everything I just typed.

What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Usually a reset will fix most of the unusual actions by the device.
