Keystroke/Shortcut to 'Open' Minimized Window From Dock

Is there a keystroke/keyboard command I can't seem to find to 'open' a window of an open application from the dock?

There's no command for that. However, you can customize keyboard commands by going into System Preferences. "Command-M" is the command to minimize a window when it's open.

Can't open finder window from dock

I have pinned my Applications folder to the dock, and when I click on it it automatically comes up as a grid. When I click and hold the folder it gives me four view options: Automatic (selected), List, Grid, Fan. I do not want any of these - all I want is for it to open in a finder window when I click on it. I am pretty sure I used to be able to do this in 10.1, why can I not do it in 10.5?

There is a trick to doing this -
In Finder, right click Applications and create an alias.
Drag the Alias into the dock.
That should do what you are looking to do.

How to control ordering/sorting of re-minimized windows in dock

Here's a dock behavior that has annoyed me for a long time: when you access a minimized window from the dock and then minimize it again, the window gets placed at the end of the dock rather than at the slot where it came from. As I collect minimized windows in the dock, I get used to where they are, only to have them shuffled around upon re-minimization. Maybe it's the librarian in me that wants to put the book back on the shelf exactly in call-number order.
I did my best to search this forum for other postings related to this behavior, but I didn't come up with anything. Does anyone out there know if this dock behavior can be changed?
Thanks!

After minimizing the window again, you can click on it and drag it to a different slot in the right-hand side of the Dock. You can also drag a window to a different slot in the Dock as it's being minimized, but you may not be fast enough to do this unless you hold down the Shift key while minimizing it, which slows down the process.

Open a command window and send some keystroke to the opened command window

Hi All,
I am trying to open command prompt and send some key stroke to that command prompt. Here I am using Robot to send keystroke. But the problem is, the keystrokes are not sent to the prompt. I guess I need to activate progamitically the command prompt to accept the keystrokes . Please find the code below ( as I did).
try
String command = "cmd.exe /c start";
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
Robot robot = new Robot();
Thread.sleep(5000);
String lol = "indranil";
for(int i=0;i<lol.length();i++)
robot.keyPress(lol.charAt(i));
int g = lol.length() - 1;
robot.keyRelease(lol.charAt(g));
catch (Exception e) {}
I guess I am doing some mistake here while sending the keystroke/openning the command prompt. Can anyone please help me how can I open a command window and send some keystroke to the opened command window. I am in fix.
Thanks,
Indranil

The first thing to do is read the API and examples for the Robot class.

Opening secondary window from javahelp window activated from modal dialog

hello,
has anyone had this problem before? I open javahelp from a dialog with setActivationWindow(modalDlg), but then, opening secondary windows from that javahelp appear hidden, unreachable because of the modal windows (the dialog and the help window). is there a solution for this?

Christian,
This problem is occuring on 2 machines which has Java 1.5. But rest of the machines which has 1.5,1.6,1.4 are supporting modal windows. So not really sure whether its a browser issue or JRE issue or it is how the modal windows behave in an inconsistent way. Really need a solution for this problem as early as problem.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Safari 5.1.1 opens all windows from previous session

Since updating to Safari 5.1 (maybe 5.0 not sure) Whenever I begin a new session (open Safari from the closed state), it opens ALL the windows I had previously viewed in the previous session! Now, I can plainly see a "button" to do this trick in the History Menu (Open All Windows From Last Session), but I'm NOT clicking on that menu item. It happens exactly when I open Safari. I've looked everywhere for a preference or option to turn that "feature" off, but, Alas, I have not found anything to do so. Mind you, these are NOT windows I had open all at the same time in my previous session, just that I may have been searching for something and either had a bunch of windows open to compare items or used the little tiny red button in the upper left hand corner of the window to close that window and then sometime later, opened a new window with a different URL. Once, it opened so many windows that it ground the dual CPU's to a near halt. I had to shut it down with the power button because "Force Quit" wouldn't come up. This has really been agravating.
I'm desparate. Any ideas on how to fix this would be very appreciated.
My equipment is: 24" iMac 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo / 4GB RAM / 750GB HD purchased in 2007 OS X Lion 10.7.2.

How To Disable Lion's 'Resume' Feature
Wednesday July 20, 2011 7:00 pm PDT by Jordan Golson
Resume is one of the main new features to OS X Lion, one taken directly from iOS:
Now apps you close will reopen right where you left off, so you never have to start from scratch again. And when you install software updates, you no longer need to save your work, close your apps, and spend valuable time setting everything up again. With Resume, you can restart your Mac and return to what you were doing — with all your apps in the places where you left them.
Now, this feature might be all well and good, but what if you want your Mac to behave like it did in Snow Leopard? Resume can be easily disabled, but the option is fairly hidden.
Head to System Preferences and select the General tab. At the bottom of that page is a checkbox labeled "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." If you uncheck that, your apps will continue to behave as they did in Snow Leopard.

Command Tab not pulling up open windows from Dock

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, though I have looked:
Using Command-Tab to invoke Application Switch is very helpful. However I have an issue with iCal and with AddressBook sometimes. If they have an open window, minimised to the dock, it does not jump up on switching. Other apps do; just switching with command-tab to that app pulls up the most recent window. With iCal/AddressBook, it switches to the app; but the window remains in the dock and needs a click before it jumps up. Which kind of negates the app-switch in the first place, if you need to follow through with a mouse-click as well.
A similar question was asked here:

Thanks for your help.
PowerMac G4 2x1G MDD; PB G4 1G Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Alastair,
I believe that behavior can be attributed to any application with one minimized window. I get around that limitation by using the Hide feature. For example, just use the Address Book>Hide Address Book (⌘+H) command instead of Minimize (⌘+M). Using Apple + Tab will then open the Address Book application window as you would expect.
You can use the Keyboard to access a minimized window, but it is not convenient. (Control + F3) will give you access to the Dock. Then use the arrow keys to navigate to the Dock icon of your choice and hit enter. That action will open the application or window of your choice. Esc will cancel the keyboard action.

Safari 6.0, what happened with option to open with windows from last session?

Made the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and realized that I don't longer have the option to open Safari with windows from last session (Preferences->General). The option has been removed:

They don't. I can access them by history ->reopen all windows from last session, but that's not what I want.
Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me that lost that option on Preferences -> General?

I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
there is a description of it.
Resume in OS X Lion
When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

How can I open new window from a link in another window?

Hello everyone!
Can anyone help me with my problem. I need to open a child window from a link in the mother/master window. Actually, the link that would open the child window is directed to a servlet that retrieves data from the database. The data will then be displayed in the child window. I don't how to open a new window with the data retrieve (thru the servlet) displayed in it. I'm using model 2 architecture (Servlet-JSP).
Thank you in advance and more power!

Or you can use something like this,
Click and in your test()
<script language="javascript">function test()
      document.form_name.target="_blank";
      document.form_name.action="/test/servlet/LoginServlet";
      document.form_name.method="post"
      document.form_name.submit();
}</script>
Here "/test" is your application context path.
If you want to open the link in the named window then use,
document.form_name.target="your_own_name";

Open popup window from non graphic window

Hi All,
i'm trying to open a popupwindow of one of my classes, but i
have no parent reference in the current class that i'm working
with, how can i refer to the main application window?

If you have a model for your application state, use this:
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
applicationComplete="this.onApplicationComplete()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function onApplicationComplete():void
// Component map
this.model.map["app"] = this;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
You will be able to refer to this.model.map["app"] as the
parent of your popup window from anywhere in the application.

How to restrict "Open Applications" window from showing C drive? Or use the Windows Explorer "Open" Window?

Hi, Im new to JDeveloper and I work in a school which requires restriction of the C: Drive. Does any one know how I can either stop the "Open Applications" dialog from showing this drive or Use the Windows Explorer "Open" dialog window to browse files, the drive has been hidden and restricted using GPO but JDeveloper shows the C: drive?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi and thanks Timo. We are using 12c. On the Windows side of things, we are using Win7 and we have hidden the drives we don't want the user to see using GPO but obviously Jdev then shows these drives in its "Open Applications" Window and allows access. As far as the environmental variable is concerned this is something that I put in place.
Many thanks for your reply and the link to the tech doc.

How can I open two windows from one submit?

Is there a way to open two browser windows from one click of a button to submit a form? I have a button on a screen that does some processing of the data and then generates a PDF file with the output. I would also like it to run a report and show the output of that in a separate window. I realize that using regular HTML with a target of "_blank" on the form, you can have the results show in a new window, but how can I launch a second window from a single button click, if possible?
Thanks!

It can be possible using two different popUps instead windows. Onclick on the button just make vissible true of those two popup in the event method, before making visible true, do the business operation to show on the popups. So simple :)
Note: Popup has modal=false attribute

Opening one window from another

I've created a method which opens a window that takes an input from the user and then closes and returns the input to the main program. When I called this method from a test program it seemed to work perfectly but when I tried to call it from my main GUI via an action listener on a button it just seems to crash.
So my input window would wait until the return button was pressed, I set up a while loop which delays the program until a flag is changed by pressing the return button. As far as I can tell it is this while loop which is causing the problem. Has anyone got any idea why this method works with my test program but not through a GUI? I expect that there is also a better way of retrieving this information from my input window and that I have probably just forgotten something very simple. If anyone has got any suggestions I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
the while loop is not very suitable for this situation.
The best solution, in my opinion, is to attach ActionListener to the 'submit' or 'ok' button of your child window, from the main GUI.
Let's say A is your main GUI class and B is the JDialog (better if modal) that should return the value. Proceed as following:
1. in the class B implement a method that attaches a listener l to the Ok button
public void addOkListener(ActionListener l)
okButton.addActionListener(l);
}2. in the class A, create a ActionListener object like:
ActionListener al = new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent)
      do whatever you like, this code is executed when the user clicks
      on the button OK in the JDialog.
      For example you may want to retrieve the value from the JDialog:
      System.out.println(b.getMyValue());
}3. in the class A, attach the listener to B:
b.addOkListener(al);Antonio :)
