Keyboard shortcut to make a selection on a dialog box
How can I select an option in a pop-up dialog box without using the mouse. For example in iTunes, whenever I delete something, the box asks if I am sure I want to move it to the trash and it is defaulted to NO, but I want to select YES. I can't find a way to use the keyboard to choose the other selection.
Here's another one: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459 Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
Thanks to DaddyPaycheck I used his link title as the keywords to find the above article. For the life of me I couldn't find that KB Article when I originally responded to your post.

There's probably another way but if you enable the Emoji keyboard (settings/general/keyboard/international keyboards/add keyboard/Emoji) then it's available there.

My CUPS printers bleed their settings into both printers when selected through Print Dialog Box
I currently have 2 printers setup through CUPS. One printer has printing options set as 100x230 page size and one as A4.
When the FF printer dialog pops up, the default printer has its settings displayed fine and printing by clicking print produces the correct output to the printer.
If however when I go into the print dialog box from scratch(default is displayed) and select the other printer and check the printer "Page Setup", it has inherited the Paper Size(100x230) from the default printer and not the settings for this now selected printer which should be "A4".
This is quite frustrating as when my users go in and select the correct printer for the print job, they need to make sure that they select the printer, then the page size and then click print.
It might not sound like a big deal but they are printing using both options simultaneously throughout the day and one printer is fine, but the other one requires this messing with on every print.
What I think needs to be done, is every time the printer is selected in the dialog box from the list, firefox should request the full printer info from CUPS and completely refresh the printer settings thus overwriting the previous selected printer settings.
After all, these settings are only applicable at the point the user wishes to hit the print button.
Is there anything I'm missing here?
It seems this has always been a problem.
Help me as it's driving me mad :-(
Thanks in advance

JASONIs this on one sole PC that has multiple printers available to it? <br />
Or are you printing to multiple shared printers across a network from multiple PC's?
Also if that is from multiple PC's, do they all run the same operating system? <br />

Select Imamge source dialog box won't show up, how to repair it?
My CS4 is doing very strange now, a lot of function is missing, the Select Image Source dialog box won't show up, the blue bar on top of menu bar won't show. Seems a lot of functions are disabled, is there a way to bring it back to normal?
If the Select Image Source dialog box doesn't appear, it sounds as though you have accidentally changed Dreamweaver Preferences.
Open the Preferences panel from the Edit menu (Windows) or the Dreamweaver menu (Mac).
Select the General category from the list on the left.
Make sure the "Show dialog when inserting objects" check box is selected.
If the blue bar on the top of a Spry menu doesn't display, in the View menu select the Visual Aids submenu, and make sure there is a check mark alongside Invisible Elements (clicking it toggles the option on and off).
If other settings have gone wrong, it's a good idea to delete your personal configuration folder. There are instructions on how to find it in the link supplied by Jon in the previous post. -

how do i make the word save as dialog box stop popping up when trying to convert to pdf?
Hi rus-tee,
That's interesting--what are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Word? Or are you using the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Please describe your process for converting to PDF, and we'll get to the bottom of this!

Keyboard input to change the default selection in a dialog box.
Hello,
Let say I close a file that I had just edited without saving. I'll then have a dialog box "do you want to save?" with "yes" as default. If I do not want to save my changes, how can I select "no" or "cancel" with the keyboard?
I'm sure this is an easy one for a long time Mac user.
ThanksAs a matter a fact there is. Just hit the first letter of the choice n = no, c=cancel etc. Edit. I tested this in Word for Mac and it worked but other programs don't so the method below is best.
An alternate method is to tab to the choice and hit enter.
Cheers

Shortcut for moving between Panels on Modal Dialog boxes eg: Cell Options (OS X)
Is there an existing shortcut for moving between the tabs of modal dialog boxes. For example Cmd+Opt+'B' brings up Cell Options dialog but that is actually the shortcut for the "Text" Panel how can I navigate (using keyboard keys) to the other Panels {"Strokes and Fills", "Rows and Columns", "Diagonal Lines"}.
Note:
I realise I can create shortcuts for the Table…> Cell Options…> Diagonal Lines items but these shortcuts will not work in the context of the Cell Options Modal Dialogue box.Hey Thanks.
For those who come looking b/s they had the same question:
As a bonus once one of these key sequences is pressed the tab heading area comes into focus so the arrow keys work for navigating tabs. So even for long list of Paragraph Style tabs which number greater than 10 still easy to navigate to them eleventh to someteenth ones. -
What is the keyboard shortcut to make the ⌘ symbol in Lion?
I can't find the little ⌘ on either the keyboard or character viewers. Nutso! Where is it hiding? Wasn't there a "technical symbols" listing in the character viewer in earlier OS X versions? I don't have that in Lion.
Click the Gear icon in the character viewer and choose "customize list". Scroll down and check Technical Symbols.

Unwanted selection of brush dialog box
When I start to use a brush, the slightest pressure will open the brush selection box, it didn't use to do that or it was much less sensitive --and it interferes with my use of a brush.
Please someone tell me how I can stop cursor or pen pressure from opening a selection box. I would be very grateful. At one time I knew how to do this but have forgotten and cannot find the answer in the CS5 help file. Thanks.Thanks for responding. I am using a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet with pens and
mouse and a Windows 7 64 bit operating system. New info: I am frequently
getting a message such as "DSD 3864 not responding" and/or "Tablet not
installed" and when I get that message, the pens still work but the mouse
is extremely limited in its movement. I have downloaded a new driver on
two or three occasions and would happily do so again if you think it would
help.
When I do not get an error message on boot, then the problem of the pens
being hyper-sensitive in bringing up the brush choice panel and the limited
range of the Wacom mouse do NOT occur, otherwise both problems do occur.
Perhaps I am installing the wrong driver? Thanks again for your interest. -

Make Custom (Run-Time Error Dialog Box)
I would like to Customize the Run-Time Error Dialog Box
bcos I want to use H/Wbuttons (need to Init the H/W) & not mouse to navigate thr the box
is the Dialog box available in Labview alsoHello aparab,
You won't be able to edit the dialog in LabVIEW for sure. Not sure if NI provide CVI / C++ source for that.
You can have your own dialog by handling the run-time error using SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback. Look at this example:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052M-01/tsexamples/infotopics/callbacks_sequencefileposts...
The example ships with TestStand as mentioned in the above link. You just have to use the information which will be in Parameters.Step container for error details and to customise your dialog.
Beginner? Try LabVIEW Basics
Sharing bits of code? Try Snippets or LAVA Code Capture Tool

What should I do?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Pen Tool Selection Keyboard Shortcut
Hi Sir/Mdm,
I am using Photoshop CS5 and I am humbly seek help and tip to perform a keyboard shortcut to make selection after pen tool has traced the image. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.Here's one way:
Choose Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts
Choose Shortcuts For: Panel Menus
Expand the Paths section
Click on Make Selection... and press the key you want assigned.
When you use this key I believe it will cause a dialog to open, which you can confirm with the Enter key.
If you want to do it without any prompt at all it can probably be done through creation of an action.
