Keyboard control of the cursor?

Is there any to control the cursor with the keypad? Some control key's I haven't found? A keyboard based "cut and paste" system?

There are no cursor/arrow keys on the pop-up keyboard on the iPad's screen as there is only an insertion point on the screen and not a cursor. If you want to move the insertion point, or use cut/copy and paste then you use your finger on the screen - pressing and holding an area of text should bring up a magnifying glass so that you can then drag the insertion point to where you want it. For cut/copy and paste (from the manual) :
Select text: Tap the insertion point to display the selection buttons. Tap Select to select the adjacent word, or tap Select All to select all text. You can also double-tap a word to select it. In read-only documents such as webpages, touch and hold a word to select it.
Drag the grab points to select more or less text.
Cut or copy text: Select text, then tap Cut or Copy.
Paste text: Tap the insertion point, then tap Paste to insert the last text that you cut or copied. Or, select text, then tap Paste to replace the text.
Undo the last edit: Shake iPad, or tap undo on the keyboard.

Dispaying a waveform graph with control of the cursor in the document.

I would like to be able to control the cursor when I save my waveform graph in html. I'm currently saving the graph through the report vi's

I am not sure I understand your question. Do you want to simply control where the cursor is on the picture you are appending to the html report. If so then when you use the Append Control Image to Report VI it basically takes a snap shot at that moment and displays it. Therefore you just need to place the cursor where you wnat it before you add the image.
To programttically control the cursor you will need to use property nodes of the Waveform Graph. A good start would be the property cursor>>cursor position>>all elements.

I cannot type a capital i using the left shift key. also keyboard now putting the cursor in a different place than where i type. Checked speech keys, all fine. Batteries fine.

i cannot type a capital i using the left shift key. also keyboard now putting the cursor in a different place than where i type while i am typing. Checked speech keys, all fine. Batteries fine. Also used the keyboard check program on the imac, shows key ok.
wireless mouse will suddenly scroll down horizontally and won't stop. when i am on a webpage it will bounce back to the previous page without my doing so. i have tried adjusting the mouse several times, turning it on and off, and now am using my wacom mouse which also seems to have issues with this computer. i have only had this a few months and getting very frustrated.

Can you try a different keyboard to see if the problem persists? Also, you have 90 days of phone support when you buy a mew mac.

If I unmute my keyboard control then the sound goes off in the application that goes mute.

My product: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Serial # CNF943316H
OS is Windows Vista Home Premium.
I have a unique problem. when I got start a song in windows media player, it starts up, but the mute led on my keyboard lights up. If I unmute on the keyboard, the sound gets muted in the application. any ideas?

Try this :
Play the song
Just click on a random spot on task bar
un mute using the quick launch buttons
i had a similar issue if not exactly the same issue and this helped.
let me know if any further questions.

My mouse/trackpad are completely out of control. The cursor/arrow is flying all over the screen and closing/opening windows. What is the solution to this? Downloading windows for Mac?

So far I'm dissapointed with Mac O/S .....so many areas lack common sense, require unnessary extra clicks and is not as customizable as Windows. It's like Apple thinks you are a child and not entitled to choose for yourself so that they can control your info for you.
The mouse/trackpad problem is a major issue that Apple should be proactive in offering a solution for. If anyone has a solution to this I'd be greateful to hear it.
Thanks,

Is this the first time you're using a Mac?
If so the learning curve is somewhat steep - but, if you put in the time and use this knowledge base whenever you run into issues you'll be up to speed soon enough.
With regards to the trackpad/mouse, you can adjust the sensitivity by:
1. Click the Apple Logo on the top left hard corner of your screen
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Trackpad
Adjust the tracking speed to your specifications.
Also familiarise yourself with the gestures (activate the ones you can remember)
To go back to the menue by clicking Show All
4. Click Mouse
Adjust your mouse settings to your specification.
And why use mac?
It just works...
(most of the time ;p)

How can I change the numeric format of the cursor coordinates display in LV 8.2

Since LV 8.0 or so the cursor display window of a graph indicator seems to be a tree control. I couldn't find where to change the numeric format of the numbers displayed in that control. What did I miss?

Maybe I'm not clear on what your looking for but I just use a property node and route the raw cursor data out to what ever function I want to run on it, then display it in a seperate field. The nice thing with the property node is you can have multiple graphs linked together by one set of cursors all with different readouts.
Yes, of course that's an option and I guess I'll have to do it that way.
The point is that I converted a pre-LV-8.x program to LV 8.5. In the program I had used the coordinates display field in the cursor legend to display the position, just the was the cursor legend is supposed to be used, IMO. And in pre-LV-8.x days it was possible to customize the numeric format property of the cursor legend (either directly or by property nodes). It seems that with LV 8.x NI chose to use a treeview control for the cursor legend. With that 'improvement' the numeric formatting flexibility was lost since now the conversion to the string content in the cursor legend's treeview is happening somewhere 'under the hood'.
<rant> Why do they (NI) always try to 'improve' things (where nothing needs be improved) and sacrifice functionality on the way....? </rant>

Implementing keyboard control on a window

Hi, I'm currently trying to implement keyboard control for a tetris game I'm attempting to make, but I've done it a rather dodgy way. I've implemented it on a Jpanel instead.
What I want to do is, implement the keyboard control on the window, however I've been unable to do so. I'm new to java (this is quite an ambitious project - but I'm trying to learn) so any help would be really appreciated.
This is the code for constructing the window with the Panels:
please note: I have omitted the import statements.
public class MainWindow extends JFrame
    public MainWindow()
        setTitle("Tetris!");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container contentPane;
        contentPane = this.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Game game;
        game = new Game(10, 20);
        GameView gameView = new GameView(game);
        contentPane.add(gameView, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        InfoPanel infoPanel = new InfoPanel(game);
        contentPane.add(infoPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
        KeyboardControl keyboardControl = new KeyboardControl(game);
        contentPane.add(keyboardControl, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        this.pack();
        game.start();
}This is the code for the keyboard control:
public class KeyboardControl extends JPanel implements KeyListener
    private Game game;
    public KeyboardControl(Game game)
        this.game = game;
        setLayout(new GridLayout(0,-1));
        setFocusable(true);
        addKeyListener(this);
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)
           int key = event.getKeyCode();
            if (key == event.VK_LEFT)
                // Move the block left
                game.moveLeft();
                else if (key == event.VK_RIGHT)
                    // Move the block right
                    game.moveRight();
                    else if (key == event.VK_UP)
                        // Rotate the block
                        game.rotate();
                        else if (key == event.VK_DOWN)
                            // Drop the block
                            game.drop();
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event)
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event)
}Can anyone provide any hints and sites to look at? I've been through the java tutorials, and the above is what I have achieved.

Your implementation of the keyboard control (or listener) looks correct.
To change it to listen to keyword on the window, would require only a
small change.. See below code.
public class MainWindow extends JFrame implements KeyListener
    public MainWindow()
        setTitle("Tetris!");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container contentPane;
        contentPane = this.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Game game;
        game = new Game(10, 20);
        GameView gameView = new GameView(game);
        contentPane.add(gameView, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        InfoPanel infoPanel = new InfoPanel(game);
        contentPane.add(infoPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
       addKeyListener(this);
        //KeyboardControl keyboardControl = new KeyboardControl(game);
        //contentPane.add(keyboardControl, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        this.pack();
        game.start();
   public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)
           int key = event.getKeyCode();
            if (key == event.VK_LEFT)
                // Move the block left
                game.moveLeft();
                else if (key == event.VK_RIGHT)
                    // Move the block right
                    game.moveRight();
                    else if (key == event.VK_UP)
                        // Rotate the block
                        game.rotate();
                        else if (key == event.VK_DOWN)
                            // Drop the block
                            game.drop();
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event)
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event)

Changing DVD player keyboard controls

Anyone know if it's possible to change the default keyboard controls for the DVD player? I wanted to change the scan/shuttle controls to J,K,L instead of Command-Arrow. Anyone know if this is possible? I'll also post it to the suggestion forum as well. It would be useful for those of us who are used to working in Final Cut Studio and other video programs.

It sounds to me like the problem is stemming from the energy savings settings on the mac. By default all iMacs are configured to go to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity. "Inactivity" is usually defined by the Mac OS as a lack of user input, i.e. through the mouse or keyboard. When watching a DVD you are most likely not fulfilling these user input requirements and the computer is attempting to enter a energy savings mode (sleep mode) while your DVD is playing. The Mac OS should be aware that you are actually using your computer and should not become unresponsive so this sounds like a bug that Apple needs to fix.
My solution is twofold
1st: make sure you are using the most current version of OS X by running software update (just incase Apple did fix this bug)
2nd: Adjust the iMac's "sleep" settings by opening System Preferences and selecting the Energy Saver button. Drag the sliders for system and display sleep to the right when you plan to watch a DVD and return them to normal when finished with your DVD (or your mac will always stay on)
Hopefully this works for you.

- One extra point: if this problem persists try pressing but not holding the power button on the iMac. This should "wake up" the mac from its perpetual deep sleep. I'm not sure, but perhaps you have wireless keyboard, mouse etc. which may be ignored when the iMac is in a low power or sleep mode.

Number pad just moves the cursor around the screen

My numberpad on my Kensington Ci 70 wireless keyboard only scrools the cursor around the screen, it just started this lately. I replaced the keyboard and the numberpad still, just moves the cursor around.
I pressed the scroll lock key then ctrl+scroll lock key and many other keys and combinations,

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and turn off Mouse Keys.

Why does my trackpad lose the cursor?

Frequently, my cursor becomes frozen. I do a quick on/off on the power button and the trackpad gets control over the cursor again. I swapped out the trackpad with another, but the problem continues. Anybody else experience this problem? This is happening on my wife's iMac running Maverick.

Try this:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Is it possible to control the cursor of a XY-graph via Keyboard and read the y value of the curser x-position?

I have following problem when I control the cursor via an attribute note, it is neccersary to free the cursor, but then it is not possible to read the y-Value of the cursor position. I want to control the cursor via keyboard and buttons, but with the funtionality of attribute setting "cursor fixed to plot".

You know the X position so just read the Y value by reading it straight from the Y array instead of from a property node...
Alternatively unlock the cursor if the position control has changed...and lock it again if it is constant for n milliseconds; to produce the Y value from the Y property.

Keyboard Control FAIL: Using TAB key on websites directs cursor to nowhere!!! Why?

(using 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 MAC MINI, OS X Lion 10.7.5)
I have always felt safer using the keyboard rather than mouse-clicking on search fields etc. (Open Firefox, hit command+L to the URL I want to go to, then hop to next field with TAB key).
Most notably frustrating example is with using Google, this has not worked right for some time. Say that you to start to search for something on google "main page" and then it goes to the search results page... You go to edit your search or type your next search and the cursor is flashing inside (but off center) of the search field and inputting text is not an option. Also you may instictively hit ESC (while in search field) when you are being given suggestions you don't want, and then the cursor moves again to this no-man's land in between fields.
The other KEYBOARD control issue that I have found is this:
Sometimes you cannot Close Window or even Quit Firefox with the usual keyboard shortcut. Usually when a few windows or tabs are open, or when there is some pop-up survey etc. on page. You can usually ALT+TAB to another open program and then back, and then you can close window or application. But that seems really sketchy to me! This happens all the time on major websites. You can go File-> Close Window or File->Quit, but when you use the same keyboard command the file menu just flashes with an "error tone."

The TAB key thing was the same in safe mode. Actually I should add/correct, regarding that google search example: when the cursor is in "inbetween fields" positions, actually it lets you type at the END of the text that you had typed in the field (even though the cursor is blinking before the text). and if you "Command A" to replace the text in the search field while cursor in this position, it instead selects all the rest of the text OUTSIDE the field. Just doesn't make any sense. I think this happens with fields on Facebook as well.
That first issue is just very annoying because it comes up every day and I never get used to it. I would be actually be curious to hear from someone whom this DOES NOT happen to.
The 2nd issue I mentioned occurs more randomly, and seems more definately a Firefox issue. (When you can only close a window or quit from the drop down menu with the mouse, Command W and Command Q just give an error beep)

Programatically bring the cursor to a numerical control while VI running

Does anyone know how to programatically move the cursor to a particular numerical control while a VI is running?
I have a VI that polls the user for information, and at one point, the user has to repeatedly type numbers into the same numerical control and press enter. For a number of reasons, it is awkward to be messing with the mouse during this particular test. Each time the user presses a paricular button to send data a to file (which I have linked to the Return key on the keyboard by means of 'key navigation'), I would like the cursor to jump to the relevant numerical control ready for the next number to be entered on the keyboard. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
I have set up a separate key navigation for thenumerical control in question, so if the user presses the Esc key, this control becomes active and the cursor is in place, but I would like to move the cursor there without this extra user button press if at all possible.
Regards,
Will

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but it might do what you need.
On the block diagram right click the control in question >>create>>property node>>key focus. Now right click the property node and select Change to write. Wire a boolean true constant to it and place this snippit in the appropriate place(s) in your code depending upon your architecture.
Hope this helps.

How to move the cursor with keyboard

Is there a way to move the cursor with the keyboard? My right forearm is hurting prob because of extended use of the mouse.

While in the 'Finder' click on 'Help' in the upper menu bar....enter 'Mouse Keys' and then select 'Controlling the pointer with the numeric keypad'....only problem I can see is the MacBook doesn't have a numeric keypad...so you would need an full size external keyboard....tried it on my iMac and it works OK...
