Keyboard needs arrow-buttons

Keyboard needs arrows. It's too hard to select individual word or character with finger. This is more a comment than a question. Please add arrows to iPad virtual keyboard!

These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you press and hold the screen then after a couple of seconds or so you should get a magnifying glass which should help you position the insertion point more accurately.

Arrow buttons not working.

Arrow buttons stopped working once I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I thought Mavericks would fix. No luck. Any ideas? If I look in input sources, there are no arrow keys on the keyboard illustrations for US or US extended keyboards.

If a hard reset didn't work, you probably need to restore the iPhone.

Make my movie clip move from left to right with arrow buttons.

Hi hope this is a quick one..
I have all the elements set up already so just need the
logistics of how i can acheive the following:
I have an arrow at the furthest left and furthest right of my
main flash movie. I then have a movie clip in the middle which has
indidivual images on a kind of long strip. When i click the left
arrow i want the movie to begin to move from the right to the left
and visa versa. I have achieved this with the keyboard left and
right keys so what i really need is to convert this theory for the
left and right arrow buttons?
var speed:Number = 4;
object_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x = this._x+speed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x = this._x-speed;
Any help will be greatly appreciated??
Thanks
Ben

use the getAscii() or getCode() methods of the key class. and
you can always use the trace function to check the values to be
used in your if-statement.

Arrow button navigation

I really need arrow up/down and sidways buttons. Does anyone know if they are coming out with them?
Trying to touch in the right spot onscreen is impossible to edit text or anything else.

I know that it isn't the stock keyboard, but SwiftKey (available on the Market) has arrow keys built into the keyboard to allow you to move around the text box. You can give the trial version a spin and see if it works for you before buying the full version of SwiftKey.

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

After I search using Google in Firefox, and hit the back arrow button to return to the main homepage I use, the browser won't take me there. Instead, I'm left at the initial results page from my search.

Assume I start at Google as my homepage. I search for Federal Reserve. Google then brings up a number of selections for Federal Reserve. I can scroll through to more search results on page 2, 3, 4, etc. Now suppose I want to use the back arrow button to go back to Google as my homepage. I’ve found what I was looking for. When I try to get back to Google, the furthest back I can go is to page 1 of the search results. The browser won’t take me back to the original starting page which was Google. Also, it doesn’t matter what the starting page or initial page was. The browser will only take me back to the initial page after the original homepage. By the way, I did not install any new software or applications prior to this problem occurring. My guess is that it may have something to do with the function keys at the top of the keyboard. But I can’t figure out what the problem is with the function keys. It’s only a guess.

using Google toolbar for searches?? disable instant search (click the wrench to the right of the tool bar, untick enable instant, and hit save. worked for me

Enchancement Request: IR arrow button in Search Filter uses applied Filters

Hello,
I'd like to request an Enhancement.
I'd like the IR arrow button in IR Search Filter, when performs the DISTINCT to provide choices in list for the user to select, that would take into consideration any other Filters that have already been applied to the IR Report in.
Currently it seems that it ignores any of these already applied filters and provides the DISTINCT list of the default report settings row set.
Referencing thread:
How to display values in arrow in Filter in IR for joined table columns ?
TIA
Dionyssis

Ah ha! I figured out a solution. It took one of those "ah ha" moments to do it.
Peter.... thanx for the suggestion, but I am using the built-in Interactive Report settings to hide the Actions button and other things. I am also attempting to hide the section on the page which displays the current filtering, control breaks, etc. that are applied to the report. This is because the page is a public page and needs to be as simple as possible and I do not want the end users to have the ability to turn pre-built filtering and control breaks on and off. The problem is that the user-entered filtering is displayed in the same place as the pre-built filtering and I want to display the former, but not the latter.
I created a display-only item on the page containing the text that should show when the user has entered some search criteria in the search box. I then created a dynamic action which is triggered by the refresh of the interactive report and runs some javascript which first checks if there is "custom search criteria" applied and then hides or shows the display item accordingly. My javascript code is below for those interested.
if ( $('#apexir_CONTROL_PANEL_COMPLETE .fielddata:contains("Row text contains")').text() )
{ $x_Show('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') } else { $x_Hide ('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') }Shane.

Arrow buttons missing from the scrollbars!

Does anyone know of anyway including a third party extension to return arrow buttons to the scrollbrs?
Lion has what is a fatal flaw to me. There are no arrow buttons in the scrollbars. Not even an option for them!
I am aware of all the other ways to scroll, so don't waste our time telling me about them.
When I am reading a web page, I want to to be able to click down one line at a time until the paragraph at the bottom is not cut off, then click in the scrollbar to go down a page. And repeat.
Scrolling with a scrollwheel or trackpad lacks the precision of clicking the arrow button or clicking in the scrollbar to go down a page. It is to easy to undershoot or overshoot exactly where I want to go which is one line down at a time. This means is takes longer to do scrolling than clicking the arrow button.
I also know you can go down one line at a time with the arrow keys, but this requires taking my hand off the mouse which also takes longer and is extremely annoying.
Not having arrow buttons in the scrollbar is intolerable! I use them constantly, and if I can't scroll windows then I can't use the computer. So this makes any improvements that Lion may have worthless.
Give a fraking option for arrow buttons in the scrollbars!
p.s. As of this writing, there is no option to give feedback for 10.7 on the Mac OS X feedback page.

I agree. I use a program that relies on the arrow buttons for precise nagivation, and now that they're gone, it makes my work twice as time-consuming.
At least with "natural scrolling" (Ha--it's like building a car that steers by pushing left to turn right, because that's how skateboarders do it) you can turn of the setting, or download Scroll Reverser. But this, there's no option.
They need to fix this, or else I have to go back to Snow Leopard and tell the others who use the program I use that they can't upgrade unless the arrows are back.

JComboBox - Hide/Show Arrow Button

hello all,
im stuck. i want a jcombobox to have its arrow button hidden unless the mouse is over it
rite now i have the jcombobox implenting the mouselistener . but i have no idea how to get the object to show/hide the arrow button. i read something about using the ComboBoxUI to hide the button but thatz pernament rite? unless i keep refreshing the ui whenever the mouse moves in or out of the object
any advice will be greatly appreciated.
thx

Open src.zip with Winzip. Look at BasicComboBoxUI.java. Figure out what changes you need to make to make the button disappear. It probably can be done pretty easily if you pick the right spot to change. But don't change BasicComboBoxUI.java. Write your own class that extends BasicComboBoxUI and override the method you picked to change. You may end up rewriting the whole method or just calling super.whatever() and then tweaking.

My ipod touch fourth generation keyboard and unlock button are not working

my ipod touch fourth generation was working at one moment and then when i went to unlock the screen and type in the passcode it would not let me swype the unlock button and when i turned it off and back on again and the passcode section popped up it would only let me type the 1, 2, and 3 buttons and now it is not letting me type at all. What do i need to do? The screen is also cracked but when i cracked the screen i was still able to see what i was doing and still able to use the ipod but this was before the keyboard and unlock button stopped working, I dont know if the screen being cracked would have anything to do with the keyboard and unlock button not working. PLEASE HELP ME

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Could be the crack progressed to the point thtt portions of the screen no longer respond to touch

Is there a way to start a VI using a boolean control in my front panel instead of clicking the White Right Arrow button?

i'm trying to determine if there's a way to run a VI from the front panel without clicking the
White Right Arrow button.
All suggestions are welcome!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes.
You set your VI to run when opened. Then you put a Start button in a while loop with a small wait statement ahead of the real part of your code. (You'll need a data dependency between that and you main code, either a wire or a flat sequence structure.) That start button stops the while loop and allows the rest of the code to execute.
Better solutions would call for an event structure and possibly a state machine architecture.

How many lines does the arrow button move the page?

When using the arrow buttons on the scroll bar the page moves more than it used to. What happened?

Firefox 10 has changed the scroll amount for the keyboard navigation UP and DOWN keys to 3 lines.<br />
You can set the scroll amount for the mouse wheel via mousewheel prefs on the about:config page, but you can't do that for the keyboard navigation keys.
There are extensions that work both for the mouse and the keyboard to set the scroll amount, but they can only be set to scroll an amount of pixels and not to scroll one line regardless of font-size (height) of the text.

Resize JSpinner arrow-buttons issue

Hi,
Banging my head against a brick wall, starting to ache.
I need to resize the arrow buttons:in a test, this code inadvertantly sizes the other button (next) ...
        jSpinner1.setUI(new BasicSpinnerUI() {
            @Override
            protected Component createPreviousButton() {
                JButton b = new JButton();
                b.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(40, 40));
                return b;
        });... but costs the loss of the previous buttons functionality.
Essentially I just need larger previous and next buttons. I may be constrained by the layout (?), but I'm hoping this is an easy one for someone in the know.
Cheers in advance.

How can I make appear the arrow-button that showed the recent history of a same tab (next to back and forward buttons)?

for instance, if I searched a word on google, then clicked on a certain page of the results, then inside that page I entered a link, etc if I wanted to "go back" directly to the instance of google searching I could click on this arrow-button and I would be able to choose that exact moment instead of clicking several times on the "back" till I reached the desired past page

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

When I type an address in the location bar and hit Enter nothing happens. I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I fix it so that the Enter key works?

When I type a web address in the location bar and hit enter nothing happens. In order to go to the website I've typed in, I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I make it so that hitting the enter key takes me to the web page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since Firefox 4 Beta installed an update

The AVG addon seems to have caused the problem for me. I had it disabled and everything worked. Then I updated to AVG 2011 and the problem occurred. It seems to have reenabled itself after the update.
Just disabling it solved the problem.
