List of Function Keys

Is there a list of what the various combination of shift, cntl & function keys will do?
I've looked, but obviously in the wrong place.

Hi James,
There's a list here. There are links for more at the bottom of the article I linked to.

Problem with assigning function key to button

Hi
JHs: 11.1.1.3.35
JDev: 11.1.1.4
I have a button which I want to assign a function key to. I did based on the JHs tutorial and added the following lines:
1) #ADD_GROUP_ACTION(${JHS.page.group} "RefreshButton" "${JHS.current.item.id}") to TOOLBAR_BUTTON template
2) ${JHS.registerFunctionKey("shift F5","Shift+F5","Refresh","RefreshButton",true)} to REGISTER_FUNCTION_KEYS template
Now, the new function key appears in the list of function keys when I press ctrl+K but pressing ctrl+k doesn't have any effect. I have no idea why it doesn't work. What should I do to make it work?
Here is the attribute added to the page:
<f:attribute name="RefreshButton"
value="ReplyDepartmentQueuePC:ReplyDepartmentQueueRefreshBtn"/>
and here is the commandButton definition code:
<af:commandButton id="ReplyDepartmentQueueRefreshBtn"
textAndAccessKey="#{nls['REPLYDEPARTMENTQUEUE_REFRESHBTN']}"
icon="/jheadstart/images/refresh.gif"
actionListener="#{bindings.ExecuteQueryReplyDepartmentQueue.execute}"
shortDesc="#{nls['REPLYDEPARTMENTQUEUE_REFRESHBTN_HINT']}"
iconPosition="trailing"></af:commandButton>
Cheers,
Ferez

Hi Steven
Running the application in debug mode proved that the problem is not in FunctionKeyHandlerImpl.handleKeyCode and the function key was doing well but the results were not reflecting in the table. Setting the partialSubmit of the button to true and adding the id of button to the partial triggers of the table solved the problem.
Thank you so much about the hint on turning ADF logging on, it is very handy.

FRM-41009: Function key not allowed. Press %s for list of valid keys.

FRM-41009: Function key not allowed. Press %s for list of valid key.
What is reason for this message, and how can we suppress it. Where should I set the system.message_level to suppress this message.

The reason is you press a key that cannot be used, e.g. duplicate record cannot be used in enter query mode.
You cannot suppress this message, even with message_level 25. If you code this for key-duprec, you will still get the message:
:system.message_level := 25;
duplicate_record;Forms intercepts the error at a very early stage. Even this didn't suppress the message:
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
null;
else
duplicate_record;
end if;

How to change function keys not listed in keyboard preferences?

Hi,
I am trying to delete the f14 and f15 function keys which now set brightness. I want to use these for photoshop actions, but can't now. Also, shift/f12 opens the dock and I'd like to remove that as well. The keyboard pref. doesn't not list these are being set and I can't turn them off.
Thanks -
Stu

I don't think Apple provides a simple way to change or override keyboard shortcuts that affect hardware functions like screen brightness, except in a limited way for laptops that have an FN key.
The shifted versions of Dashboard & Expose shortcuts are among the weird little "eye candy" features of Tiger. Adding "shift" to the shortcut does the same thing as the unshifted version, but v..e..r..y s..l..o..w..l..y, at least on Macs that support advanced Quartz display features.
As noted, you can change the shortcuts for Dashboard & Expose, but I'm not sure if the slow motion, 'shifted' forms are inherited by any other key combination besides the F9 through F12 ones.
[Edit]:
For a really weird effect, try holding down shift & tapping a random sequence of F9 through F12 strokes: because everything is slowed down, you can have several Expose effects occurring at once on the screen.

X1 Carbon 2014 Function keys not working in windows7

Hello.
I have a brand new X1 carbon(model: 20A7-005KMD) that was installed with our company image, running windows 7.
Alle drivers in device manager has been installed, and system update is updated.
The carbon has the "touch" function keys and they only partly work.
When booting the computer i can swap between the different functions, but when i get into windows, its is "stuck" with only the options F1-F12. The F keys work, but i cant change settings by pressing the FN key on the left side og the touch display, and get sounds/brightness settings etc.
as said, this works just fine during the boot.
Any ideas what can be causing this and even more important - a fix?

Hi Guys,
We are currently having the same issue on the X1 Carbon 20A7 models (20A7000LAU). In BIOS or during boot the function changing works without issue (limited to two (2) function screens how-ever), it stops working once you log in. If you then lock the computer you can change the functions, but then once you unlock the device, it stops working.
When the drivers are installed and the device is restart we get the above behaviour, if we uninstall the drivers the function keys will function as expected till the device is restarted. This is very strange behaviour.
On a device received by Lenovo there are 4 function changes/screens in total, we can only make two work temporarily as listed above. We have tried the following.
1. MDT 2013 Delivered Windows 8.1 x64 image image. All drivers/software components installed from the lenovo website. We receive above issue and cannot resolve by uninstall/reinstalling.
2. Vanilla Windows 8.1 ENT x64 image installed from Microsoft Volume Licensing portal, installed all drivers supplied from the Lenovo Website. The same behaviour is seen as above and is reproducable.
3. We have als compared all drivers/software installed on the factory supplied model to a manually built device, still the above behaviour is witnessed.
4. We have manually exported drivers from the X1 Carbon device from lenovo and injected them into the vanilla Windows 8.1 ENT or PRO newly imaged device, still the same behaviour above.
Please let me know what I'm missing, I'm certain this is a bug in the drivers for this model.
Regards,
Nic

"Undefined Function Key. Press Ctrl+F1..." Porting app from 6i to 10G

I am running into a problem porting my application from Oracle Forms 6i to 10G. When I am querying a record based on a field that is not the first on the screen, I get an "Undefined Function Key. Press Ctrl+F1 for list of valid keys." error. I do not get the error using the same function keys from the first field on the screen. I also do not get the error if I click into another field (besides the one I an querying) before hitting my execute query key.
I did some research, and found a fix that seems to work. I can add a WHEN_MOUSE_CLICKED trigger to the form and put in the following:
Go_Item(:System.Mouse_Item);
That seems to fix the issue. My problem is that I have close to 400 forms to upgrade. I would like to avoid adding this manually to every single form. I have looked into libraries, but I can't seem to figure out how to replicate a WHEN_MOUSE_CLICKED trigger using procedures. I was wondering if there was a way to use the Forms upgrade utility to add this trigger to every form it converts. Does anyone know if that can be done?
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

I'm not sure this solves the problem. This would call the trigger, but the trigger does not currently exist. I would still have to manually create the trigger in all 400 (or so) forms. Is there a way to add it in a more global way?
Thanks.

How can I use Automator to toggle the Function Keys?

I am trying to create a Automated process to toggle the Function Keys on my keyboard. This is because I use several programs, including After Effects, which use the F1-12 keys, but when I am not using that program I commonly use the Apple-defined shortcuts on the keyboard. I have a full-sized keyboard, hence no Fn key. So that's out right away – I've read several comments on this topic where people suggested that this is the ONLY option. I refuse to beleive that.
Automator contains a "Watch Me Do" feature, which I have tried to use to record this process. Problem is, it never clicks the right object. If I record clicking the dock, the magnification (I suspect) throws off the virtual-controlled mouse and picks the wrong object. If I record the Apple Menu route, it gets it about 1/2 the time.
I think what I'm really looking for is a console command I can feed into the Terminal which toggles the keys. It seems to be that this HAS to be an option, even if it is more than one line of commands. I believe if I can feed this process into Automator, it would work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Mac Geniuses!

iKey lets you define function keys per application. You seem to want to turn on & off the defined apple keys. Not sure if these keyboard re-mappers will do the trick.
Here is my other most favored application. Of course, I haven't checked these out in newer OS's. I'm a Tiger man myself.
iKey is a front end program that simulates typing and mouse movements. I use iKey to remap the Function keys.
"iKey is an automation utility, a program that creates shortcuts to accomplish repetitive tasks. In essence, an iKey shortcut is a little program in its own right, but you don't need to know the first thing about programming to create an iKey shortcut. All you have to do is put together three necessary parts of a shortcut: One or more commands that give the shortcut its functionality, a context in which it runs, and a launcher that defines how the shortcut is activated."

iKey has a little more function then the previous free version called youpi key. For many years, I used youpi key before switching to iKey. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported. The youpi key download is hard to find & no longer here.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11485&vid=75326
( Send me a message for a copy of youpi key. )
*Examples:*
I have the common programs that I use assigned to function keys. I have F4 assigned to Firefox. When I want to start FireFox, I press F4. When I want to switch to firefox, I press F4! Starting & switching to an application in Mac OS are the same thing in Mac OS.
Here is an example of to assign volumn control to a function key.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10361085#10361085
Here is my script for listing my application folder. I have it assigned to function-key 6.
tell application "Finder"
   open folder "Applications" of startup disk
   select Finder window 1
   set bounds of Finder window 1 to {-3, 44, 691, 545}
   --set position of Finder window 1 to {33, 44}
   set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
   activate
end tell
The second portion of this script was generated in the script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some editing, I copy the script to ikey/youpi key.

I have a requirement to add a function key for a menu item in a standard transaction.
In Menu bar we have an option Extras->Other->Repricing . Now my requirement is if i click a function key (ex. F9) the code under the menu exit (Repricing) should trigger. For that i had a function exit EXIT_SAPLJHPA_011 and in this the menu exit SAPLJHPA +CU7 is defined.could anyone suggest me the procedure in detail to add a function key..
Thanks in advance,

Function key problem on HP Pavilion after upgrade to Windows 8

HP Pavilion Dv7 / Windows 8 pro 64 bits
Since I upgrade from Windows some Function keys are no more running
F1 Help is running
F2 ???
F3 www is still running
F4 ???
F5 is running
F6 ???
F7 Brightness --- NOT running
F8 Brightness ++ NOT running
Answer is welcome....
Regards
Guy

It looks like this unit has not yet been certified for Windows 8. Review this site to see what to expect when upgrading to Windows 8. Click on More Information at the bottom to get a more detailed list and to have the option to see if HP has tested the unit for Windows 8.
Make sure to install the Windows 8 HP Software Framwork found here.
There is a chance that some functions simply will not work. Since the unit has not been certified for Windows 8 and does not have Windows 8 drivers from HP, the Windows 7 drivers and software may need to be reinstalled using compatibility mode. Review my post located here for the method that seems to have the most success. The key to install HP software with compatibility mode is to let the extraction complete and then navigate to the real software installer in the extracted folder.
I recommend reinstalling the newest driver for each component in compatibility mode as outlined in the linked post. Here is the software page for your unit.
Let me know what happens.

thanx again.

I am using Firefox for Mac (v 3.6.11, Mac OSX 10.6.4) and need to use the Function keys (specificlaly Ctrl-F7) in a web application. I can't seem to get it to work the same as in Firefox on PC.

I am using a web application that requires the use of the F7 key. Actually, to be more precise, I need the functionality that you would get on a PC if you hit Ctrl-F7 while in this web application in Firefox. I have changed the Mac's settings to allow standard use of the function keys (rather things like volume up/down, etc.) However, when I try to use Ctrl-F7 it appears to be using the function that is built into Firefox browser rather than the web application running within Firefox. (FYI, nothing happens when I try Cmd-F7 or Alt/Option-F7 either).

Back Function key is not working

I have created report programing. and also add buttons to application tool bar using transaction 'SE41'.
But in this case whenever I run program and click on Back.it is asking me to populate fields.
Even after populating fields and clicking Back wont take me to BACK screen...
It is asking for 'Put cusron on selection'..
Back is standard tool bar even why it is not working.
I set status as below.
**Variant
INITIALIZATION.
**Initialize Report Global Variables
PERFORM f_initialize_report.
SET PF-STATUS 'STANDARD'
Finally i write code for back function as follws.bUt I don't want this transaction.I want back screen.
I am submitting this report via ALV grid display from other program(By double clicking row).When i press Back it should show alv display.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CASE sy-ucomm.
WHEN '&F03'.
LEAVE to transaction 'ZCM_SEARCH_RULE'.
ENDCASE.

hi,
in 'standard' status for 'back' icon have add &f03 as function key ,check it first.
and then in the initialization write the code 'set pf-status 'standard'.
and under start-of-selection.
write set pf status space.(it will enables all the standard buttons back,cancle,exit...).
now if u click on back it should wor.
try it once.
if u have created a button for back and assigned say 'back' code for that, then go like this.
start of selection.
case sy-ucomm.
if sy-ucomm = 'BACK'.
LEAVE LIST PROCESSING.
(OR U CAN WRITE LEAVE PROGRAM OR LEAVE TO SCREEN 0).

Diabling function key f1..f10 in forms run time

How to Diable the function keys F1 to F10 in the forms run time,
Bcoz as we are aware that f7 enter query, f8 execute query,
f10 accept, So i dont want the users to go thru this functions,
The main reason is to avoid this is, For List of values we are
pressing f9 but some users are pressing f10 blindly, so that its getting
problem, tell me how to disable the f10 function key in form run time.
Thanks in advance.
Srinivas.

Hi, I tried the key_others procedure and added a message too. But it works fine on hitting f10, does not let user commit the form. But it does not go thru the save button as I have a trigger and conditions to check before commiting. Please reply if you can think of a solution. thanks

Selection-screen function key dynamically ?

Dear all,
I wonder if it is possible to have a function key dynamically appearing on the selection screen of an ABAP. For example the button for reading the documentation of an ABAP is shown dynamically only if there is a documenation available.
I have tried several methods at SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT
- SET PF-STATUS EXCLUDING 'FC0x' : no reaction
- Blanking the icon via CLEAR: SSCRFIELDS-FUNCTXT: Result blank button
- In LOOP AT SCREEN nothing can be found concerning function keys.
I assume that the crucial point is the SELECTION-SCREEN FUNCTION KEY statement, which generates the button.
Thanx for your help
Rabanus Diehl

You mention about the 'Documentation' button.
However, SE38 is a dialog program so this why it is easy to do. You are writing a report program. You could have the pushbutton on the screen itseld instead of the status bar. You should then be able to use LOOP AT SCREEN to hide. Here is some code to put a pushbutton on a screen.
INCLUDE <list>.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON 01(35) garment
USER-COMMAND garment.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
