Keyboard navigation, tabbing out of metadata?

Is there any quick way to tab to the browser when you're in the middle of entering metadata? I am far more proficient at typing, and then doing a quick keystroke to get to the next image to do (or an image down the line).
I can't seem to find a way to do this. Having to use the mouse is very tedious and cumbersome.
Any suggestions? I'm currently using Aperture 2

Command-Arrow keys will navigate through the Browser without moving keyboard focus from the current metadata field.

  • How can I get keyboard navigation to work on quizzes?

    I am using 6.0.1.240.  After testing on my machine I sent the file to our customer who published it for SME review on a url.
    Keyboard navigation on the quiz questions works great on my local machine but using the link the keyboard navigation tabs to the first response and then skips to the submit button on all single respnse questions.  It navigates properly on all multiple response answers.  Any help would be sincerely appreciated

    Hi there,
    If you have an MCQ with only one correct answer then you will get radio buttons on the Question slide for all the Choices.
    While tabbing when you get to the first answer choice, use the Down arrow key on your keyboard to go to the other answer Choices.
    It is the property of the radio buttons that they are defined in one container.
    Thanks.

  • Why can I not tab out of table cell after running command from keyboard

    In my Jtable I have context menu with actions that can be performed on the selected cells either using mouse, or the action can be initiated directly from the keyboard using the defined acceleratorkey.
    After the action has completed you can tab out of the selected cells using the Tab key or cursor keys if the action was initiated with the mouse, but not if initiated with the keyboard but Im at a loss as to what causes the difference.
    thanks Paul

  • Disable Accordion Keyboard Navigation in IE7

    I have an accordion widget that I don't want to have keyboard
    access for since that changes the appearance when it's active. I've
    made sure that the accordion does not have a "tabIndex" attribute
    and this seems to work to disable the keyboard navigation in
    Firefox and Safari. IE7 is still providing keyboard access,
    however, and when the accordion is active all the panel tabs turn
    blue. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Ok, well I figured out that the easier solution is to just
    change the CSS styles for:
    .AccordionFocused .AccordionPanelTab
    .AccordionFocused .AccordionPanelOpen .AccordionPanelTab
    to not be blue when the accordion has focus.

  • Formulas to work like Excel for Keyboard navigation?

    When I type a function in Excel, the variables show up like "PMT - (pmt, nper, int...etc). Plus, I can use the arrows ("<-", "->") keys to navigate to cells without typing "d5", "c5" etc. Am I missing something, or did Apple miss something? Does Excel have something patented? Why can't I use the keyboard?
    Anybody know...?
    Hank in Florida

    I think I understand why apple chose no to implement keyboard navigation for formulas.
    In light of the nature of sheets in Numbers, where you can have multiple sheets that are disconnected in the same page - you wouldn't be able to jump from one to the other without the mouse anyway.
    But I would gladly do what I do in any other spreadsheet software out there: when I need to move to another sheet (another tab) in the spreadsheet I grab the mouse, click on it, and happily resume keyboarding.
    At least give me the ability to navigate via keyboard on the same sheet where the formula is tacked.
    Please?

  • I cannot disable the full keyboard  navigation

    Hello I have quite a problem.
    As it says above, I cannot disable the full keyboard navigation option, whenever I try to, it re-activates itself in the preferences, even if I just change tabs and return within the preferences.
    Furthermore, the keys seem to activate oddly, as I do not know of any shortcuts bound to the S key (JUST the s key), which commonly causes Itunes to skip forward a track in whatever playlist I am playing.
    I have tried changing the other preferences, and I can change them with no difficulties, it is just the Keyboard navigation that is giving me problems.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    On second thought... The help article cor-el linked mentions that Firefox may prompt you every time if the file is sent with the disposition:attachment header, i.e., forced save. You can bypass that problem (change disposition:attachment to disposition:inline) using the Inline Disposition extension. It has been around for a while, but I haven't tried it myself: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/]. Maybe that's what you need for Gmail.

  • Navigation Tabs

    Hi all,
    I am trying to work out how to create navigation tabs using
    images for the curved sides and backgroundsbut I am getting
    comfused. I have made three examples:
    http://www.villa-corti.com/indexnav.html
    In the first example- navtabs div -I have an image
    rightside.jpg which I put on the A link and repeat which creates
    the background for the link text.
    I put left_side.gif as the background image for the UL for
    the lefthand curved sides.
    There is a problem with the tabs not being side by side. Is
    this a good way to do it? How do I make the tabs side by side?
    In the second example -navtabs1 div-I have an image
    rightside.gif which I put on the A link and don`t repeat which
    creates the right curved sides.
    I put left_side.gif as the background image for the lefthand
    curved sides.
    How do I put a background on the link?
    The third example -navtabs2 div- is the same as the second
    example but I put a background-color on the a link which covers the
    curved side. How do I put a background- I don´t know how to
    put another image on the a link? What is the solution?
    I know there are various ways to do curved backgrounds usgin
    css without images but at this stage I want to try and find the
    best way to do this with images and then I will check and see if
    they work with different browsers.
    Any comments greatly appreciated, Thanks!

    Most of the methods, including "sliding doors" are extremely
    limited.
    Because you are working with multiple background images, you
    can't
    really have a traditional rollover effect. You might want to
    consider
    image replacement or embedded images.

  • Hierarchical Tree and keyboard navigation

    Does anyone know how to use Hierarchical Trees with keyboards, or to disable keyboard actions? (forms 9.0.4)
    My form has a tree which does processing in a When-Tree-Node-Selected trigger to populate some blocks depending on the selected node. If the user selects nodes with the mouse then all is fine, but if they move between nodes with the keyboard then the processing for each selected node is only run the next time a node is selected with the mouse. This means the data for each node will flash up in the blocks for a split second when the mouse is next used.
    I've tried Key-Up/Key-Down triggers to prevent keyboard navigation, but they don't fire. Setting Keyboard Navigable to false doesn't fix it either.
    Using the When-Tree-Node-Activated trigger doesn't help. The online help says this trigger fires when the user presses Enter or double-clicks a node. I find that each node for which Enter was pressed is processed only when the user next double-clicks a node, and the node they double-click is not processed.
    Tree Query:select 1, level, ename, null, null
    from scott.emp

  • Enable keyboard navigation - mini player

    it seem that the enable keyboard navigation in the preferences can never be unchecked. i'm tired to seeing the title of the song while using the mini player. i've unchecked the box and it goes back to being checked each time i use the mini player. any fixes to this?
    i am running windows 7 and have updated to itunes 12.0.26

    It is pretty unintuitive. I was in seeing a Genius about several issues today. Previously AppleCare had told me that this was NOT a known issue and that they couldn't replicated it on their mac. The Genius figured out pretty quickly that the issue seems to be only when iTunes is in full screen mode. If you take it out of full screen the player worked fine both on my machine and on theirs. They should fix that, of course. It shouldn't make any difference what mode you're in.
    Thanks for the response. Hope this make some sense of it.
    Cheers,

  • XFCE tab out of fullscreen applications?

    Stupid question, but how do I tab out of applications in full screen?
    On gnome3 I can just hit mod4 and I get to the overview, or I hit alt tab and can also switch applications which also works in full screen mode. On tiling windows managers, I can simple switch the active workspace, but how the hell do I get out of a full screen app in xfce and switch focus to another application running on that workspace?

    Alt-Tab works for me in most cases. I only have problems with games that grab the whole keyboard and disable all global hotkeys.
    PS: I use xfce with the default xfwm.

  • Restricting Tab Out

    Hi,
    Using Jdev 11.1.1.6
    I have implemented three column page template.. where my left panel has some taskflow and right have some other taskflow. My center has the af:panelTabbed , which have 3 showDetailItems.
    Each showDetailItem has a region binding, which is called dynamically on some action..
    I just wanted to ask, if there is any way that I can restrict Tab out from my CENTER i.e just Opened ShowDetailItem , to any other place in three column page template.
    More Explanation
    This is nothing to do with PanelTabbed component.... It's simple Keyboard 'TAB' I want to restrict.
    Like if user uses Tab for accessing fields on the Center screen. Then after the last field on the Center TaskflowScreen, 'TAB' goes out of the screen to next Taskflow enabled field. I want to restrict that...

    Neha,
    You could probably add a input text component in your main page (say under end / copyright facet of the pageTemplate) and set it width to 0. Add a clientListener to it which would set the focus to the first component.
    Ex:
                <af:form id="f1">
                    <af:resource type="javascript">
                      function checkTab(evt) {
                          var keyPressed = evt.getKeyCode();
                          if (keyPressed == AdfKeyStroke.TAB_KEY) {
                              var compToSetFocus = evt.getSource().findComponent('pt1:it1');
                              compToSetFocus.focus();
                          evt.cancel();
                    </af:resource>
                    <af:pageTemplate viewId="/oracle/templates/threeColumnTemplate.jspx" id="pt1">
                        <f:facet name="center">
                            <af:group id="g1">
                                <af:inputText label="Label 1" id="it1" clientComponent="true"></af:inputText>
                                <af:inputText label="Label 2" id="it2"/>
                                <af:inputText label="Label 3" id="it3"/>
                            </af:group>
                        </f:facet>
                        <f:facet name="header"/>
                        <f:facet name="end"></f:facet>
                        <f:facet name="start"/>
                        <f:facet name="branding"/>
                        <f:facet name="copyright">
                            <af:inputText id="it4" contentStyle="width:0px;">
                                <af:clientListener method="checkTab" type="keyPress"/>
                            </af:inputText>
                        </f:facet>

  • Delay in reacting to keyboard navigation along timeline??

    Hi
    I have just replaced all parts of my system (between projects!) and I notice that the responsiveness of FCP to keyboard navigation along the timeline (J,K,L) seems to have dropped off - from frame-accurate, to about a 6-frame delay.
    That is: in my earlier (slower?) system: I could play along the timeline, and then stop DIRECTLY on a music beat - by hitting K - accurate to the EXACT frame - or maybe ONE frame out.
    Now: with my current (faster?) system, I behave the same, hitting K at the "correct time", but FCP carries on playing for about 6 frames before it stops, 6 frames after the point I wanted.
    (It also takes about 6 frames to start playing again after hitting L, but that's less of a problem.)
    Accurate editing to music, or placing markers, etc., etc., is now a considerable problem! Any suggestions?
    Old system = G4 Dual 1.42, FCP 5.1.2, OSX 10.4.11, 2G RAM - white USB keyboard
    New system = Pro Dual Quadcore 2.8, FCP 6.0.3, OSX 10.5.2, 4GB RAM - thin ali wired USB keyboard - all updates up to date.

    I followed this tutorial
    http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/773868
    and came up with some new code and it works, but it moves super
    fast. Is there a way to make it pause between cycles?
    var keyArray:Array = new Array();
    var i:Number;
    for(i=0;i<222;i++){
    keyArray.push([i,false]);
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,checkKeysDown);
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,checkKeysUp);
    this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
    UpdateScreen);
    function UpdateScreen(event:Event):void{
    if(isKeyDown(39)==true){
    var StageTimeline:MovieClip = (stage.getChildAt(0) as
    MovieClip)
    StageTimeline.nextFrame();
    if(isKeyDown(37)==true){
    trace("Released");
    var StageTimeline:MovieClip = (stage.getChildAt(0) as
    MovieClip)
    StageTimeline.prevFrame();
    function checkKeysDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
    keyArray[event.keyCode][1]=true;
    function checkKeysUp(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
    keyArray[event.keyCode][1]=false;
    function isKeyDown(X){
    return keyArray[X][1];

  • ITunes 11 keyboard navigation?

    I've been trying to see if its possible to navigate around just using the keyboard in iTunes 11 but can't seem to get to grips with it.  I want to browse through the artist list in the column browser then dip into artist's albums then choose a song.  Its driving me mad that iTunes is now full of little buttons to click on next to my songs.

    That's a bummer.
    By the way, I know this is pretty obvious and clumsy, but there is a temporary workaround.  Go to Songs view, do your keyboard navigation (making sure Artist is selected as the sorting column), then go back to Albums view.  You'll be right where you wanted to be - with two extra mouse clicks of course, which is the kind of thing we're trying to avoid in the first place.  But still, it's faster than having to scroll up and down in Albums view.
    Hope this is helpful.  Again, pretty obvious and not a fix at all.  Let's hope this bug does get sorted out soon.  It's pretty clearly a bug.

  • Lion Keyboard Navigation - Launchpad?

    I was reading over here https://discussions.apple.com/message/11497908 to try to figure out some of the basics but that discussion is archived. (What's the reason to archive a discussion? I don't understand the concept.)
    Anyway, this took me a while to figure out - at least for me, I have the smallest Mac wireless keyboard (and I suspect MacbookPro smaller keyboards)... I have to press fn+Control+F* to use keyboard navigation. That's probably covered somewhere else but it's easy to miss.
    So my question is simple - how do I launch and switch between Apps in Lion?
    I press fn+Control+F3 to move focus to the Dock
    I press right arrow until Launchpad is highlighted.
    I press return to launch launchpad.
    Now - how do you pick an app or move focus to the apps on launchpad?
    The right arrow and left arrow work as the swipe gesture does on Magic mouse, but... I can't figure out how to pick an app and open it?

    I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. If you want a
    single
    behaviour that you can put on any button to control
    navigation, you can
    use something like this. If you want to writeyour own scripts
    that can
    be individualized, check out the GetPropertyDescriptionList
    section.
    That is where the magic is.
    property pFrame, pMovie
    on mouseUp me
    if not(pMovie = "") then
    go to frame pFrame of movie pMovie
    else
    go pFrame
    end if
    end
    on getPropertyDescriptionList
    pList=[:]
    addProp pList, #pFrame, [#comment:"Which marker?",
    #default:1,
    #format:#string]
    addProp pList, #pMovie, [#comment:"Which movie?",
    #default:"",
    #format:#string]
    return pList
    end

  • Spotlight keyboard navigation and window size issues

    I have two issues with Spotlight in Leopard and can't seem to find a solution.
    1. Keyboard navigation - If I open the spotlight list with command-space, type in my search and get my list, I can navigate up and down the list and open any item with the enter key. But there doesn't seem to be a way to use Quick View from the list. If I open a Spotlight Window with option-command-space (which I prefer) I can type in my search and get a list. But I can't get to the list to navigate it with the arrows without using the mouse to click on one of the items first. Once I have one item selected it is great to scroll through them with the arrow keys and then use Quick View by using the space bar to open and close the view. Is there any way to move the cursor from the search enter box into the results list in the Spotlight Window view using just the keyboard? Or is there a way to use the keyboard to invoke Quick View on the Spotlight list view?
    2. When opening the Spotlight Windows View with the option-command-space command, the window opens up to a relatively small size. I would like it to open to a much larger window, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. I resize the window and change the column size and positions to the way that I like them, but once I close out of the window it doesn't save that configuration. I have to start over every time. Is there a solution?

    I just realized this is in the wrong forum. I've posted it in the Leopard forum.
