Keyboard selective functionality
Occasionally my keyboard (wired) will not allow me to change files names, create/rename folders, or use any keyboard commands to open or delete files, etc., but it works fine surfing the web, writing email, etc., in all other apps. (I was able to write this post.) For example, Command+N in Finder does nothing, while Command+N in Safari or any other app opens a new window/file, as it should. One minute everything's working fine, the next I can't use my keyboard for these Finder tasks. As long as I don't want to do anything in Finder that requires keyboard input I'm okay, but that's annoying. Things are typically back to normal on restart. Any ideas what's up with this selective functionality? This does not happen all the time, just on occasion. Any thoughts or suggestions for fixing this? Is my keyboard on its way out? It's almost two years old. Thanks!
G5 Dual 1.8 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Thanks for the suggestion. I poked around UA but didn't see anything that seems to address this. The thing is, it doesn't happen all the time, so I don't think it's in any of the settings, otherwise it would be a constant issue.
The challenge too with this problem is that I won't know if it's "fixed" unless it never happens again. So, every day is a good day when I have full use of my keyboard!

Urxvt-keyboard-select - mouseless text selection in urxvt
Hello again,
my next urxvt extension reached a stable stage, so it's time to post it here: keyboard-select
Please have a look at the top of the file for details on how to use it, or read the README on github.
The usage is comparable to tmux/gnu screen, but its mappings are more vim-like.
As for now, the most basic cursor movement keys are available, I'm planning to add the following in the near future: [fFwWbBeE;,/?nN]
And this time I've also managed to upload a PKGBUILD before writing this post...
Last edited by ber_t (2011-03-29 12:36:50)@hitsmaxft: Your extension looks nice, I will try it out later. But your one always uses urxvt's selection for highlighting; I use rendition bits for that, because I want a chance to cancel visual mode without losing the content of the primary buffer. It also misses some delete statements, for example, it always creates a new overlay without deleting the old one.
I will continue developing mine (at least just for the fun of it), even if your one already features everything I'd plan to implement.
For all the emacs lovers: I will try to provide vim and emacs keybindings, but I didn't come up with a nice way of handling this. And by nice I mean no code duplication and no complex key dispatcher, taking up more code than the real functionality.
Be patient, or:

Select() function is not working properly in solaris 10.
Hi ,
We are facing an issue with select() in Solaris 10. we had written a sample program to this issue.
Program name :- sel.cpp
int main()
struct timeval sleeptime;
sleeptime.tv_sec = 60;
printf("1\n");
select(0,NULL,NULL,NULL,&sleeptime);
printf("2");
return 0;
When i run this program in Solaris 9, its printing 1 and after one minute its printing 2.
When i run this program on Solaris 10, its printing 1 and 2 without waiting for 60 seconds.
When i tried to print tv_usec, its printing as 0 in solaris 9 and some garbage values in solaris 10.
I think because of that the above select function is not working properly in solaris 10.
Why the tv_usec is not taking 0 as default values in Solaris 10?
We are using our legacy code for past 20 years. So, before going to do any changes we are trying to find why this happenig like this.
Thanks a lot.

It sounds to me that you've been lucky for 20 years then.
Local POD variables on the stack that aren't explicitly initialized can contain any value. Here's what I see in your app with dbx
(dbx) run
Running: sel
stopped in main at line 9 in file "sel.cpp"
9 sleeptime.tv_sec = 60;
(dbx) print sleeptime
sleeptime = {
tv_sec = -4198732
tv_usec = 0
}That's on a Solaris 10 SPARC machine. If I try it on a Solaris 10 x86 box then I get
(dbx) print sleeptime
sleeptime = {
tv_sec = -830490588
tv_usec = 134510556
and I see the behaviour that you describe.

Some one my help? why there is no quick selection function in my adobe photoshop 6.0.1 [was: cs 6.01]?
What John Waller just said.
And your screen shows it is the archaic, totally superseded Photoshop 6.01, and that was in no way associated with any CS (Creative Suite), so your question title indicating you had "cs6.0.1" was massively and annoyingly misleading and wrong.
You must be running an ancient machine if that oldie runs on it.
What's worse you are running an illegal, pirated and hacked version of Photoshop. You are breaking the law.
Please don't come back here until you have bought a legal copy of Photoshop. -
Alert is not working for mutiple times for list "select" function in sapui5 XML view
Hello All,
I am trying to open an alert for multiple times for list "select" function. But it's opening for only one time .
Please find code below.
View Part
<List id="contactedit" select="somefunction">
<CustomListItem id="custom1" type="Inactive" >
<content>
<Label text="this is label" />
</content>
</CustomListItem>
</List>
Controller Part
somefunction: function(oEvent){
alert("this is an alert");
Thanks in Advance
D.MohanbabuI think I saw this question in stack overflow. And I answered it :-)
I believe that it is because you can only one item in the list and once the item is selected, re-selecting it will not fire the event.
Try adding more items to the list and select different items.
Thanks

How can I use select() function in POSIX thread program.
Hello
Now I making a my own progam with POSIX thread in Solaris 8 Environment.
But I have some trouble in POSIX thread.
I saw that If use POSIX thread then use -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=???L flag into compile options in
Multithreaded Programming Guide.
So I use that in my Makefile. But I can't compile my program.
Now I found that if use POSIXC_SOURCE flag, cannot use timeval structure (defined in <sys/time.h>) in <sys/resource.h>.
So compiling was stop into select() function. Because select() function use timeval structure.
And fd_set structure(defined in <sys/select.h>) is same.
How I solve this problem.
Please help me.
Thank you.Thanks so much for your helpful reply.

Well guys, I have a problem here and I didn't find any solutions
So maybe someone of you, can help me!
My problem is:
I have 2 numbers (100 and -200) and I have to plot the greater value.
The problem is for me the signal of -(minus) doesn't means nothing....
For the program I'm making, the -200 is greater than 100
So I tryed put bouth as absolute value, but when I have the "answer" only appears the "200"
and I need it appears -200
So I thought about something like that:
I use a select function and maybe do something like that:
So I have to make something at True or False value at S to make this work!
If true I receive 100, if is false I receive -200
Thanks!I dont know why is in this section. I posted it on LabVIEW part!
Well Dennis I make it like that:
But now I have a problem
I do the same calc for 3 differents variables like A, B, C
and after that I have to calc which value is the "greater"
But my problem is, If I have the values "-350 300 -400"
the greater will be "300" but for me the "minus" don't mean anything
so I need the greater value is "400"
For all positive values, its works fine!
I compare A and B, after that the greater is compared with C and have a result!
but When I have negative values and positive values... I got that problem...
and When I have only negative values I have a problem too.
"-300 -400 -500" for me the greater value have to be "-500" but labview shows "-300"
because -300 is greater than -500 in algebriac.
And If I use absolute values I will always have a positive value... but I need to know if the value is negative or positive
Anyone, can help me with that?
Thanks

Keyboard selection in Leopard Terminal
Does anyone know where the keyboard selection has gone in the Leopard Terminal? I.e., the command-option-enter command, then selecting some text using it two times more, which then could be pasted.
I quite liked it, especially as I don't like mice/mouses/pointing devices. Is it still there under a different short cut, or just completely gone?I am also looking for this. For those of you unfamiliar, here is a summary of what Keyboard Selection can do http://www.macworld.com/article/59321/2007/08/termtext.html

Cannot go to Select Functions to Convert windows for Import Shared library dll
Hi,
As you can see the steps below, i cannot go throgh the Select Function to Convert windows after i click next on Configure Include path steps.
any idea why is this happening?
i am using Labview 8.5 and WinXP OS.It would help if you provided the DLL and the header file.
Also, I think the third screenshot was intended to be something else, since it's the step where you specify any additional header files to reference, and not the step where you select what functions to import. -

Keyboard + mouse functions not working

A restart fixed the issue thr first time. Today I have installed latest update and shut down and restarted several times does not fix issue. On a MacBook pro running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.
Disconnected extrenal devices ie keyboard and Wacom Bamboo tablet and restarted computer seemed to correct the issue.

Why does SQL execute inner selected functions again in the outer select?
Hi,
Why does SQL execute inner selected functions again in the outer select?
Given:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION K_TEST
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
RETURN 1;
END;
SELECT K_TEST, K_TEST FROM DUAL;Will (logically) execute the function twice.
SELECT intest, intest
FROM (SELECT K_TEST intest FROM DUAL);Will execute the function twice too!
Why can't SQL buffer the inner result?
Does anyone have an idea on how to achieve executing the function only once? My original called function is quite heavy and returning a user defined type. Adding predicates, the function is executed 3 or 4 times!
Thanks for any tips,

Alternatively - again depending on your version - you might be able to look at function result caching...
