MacOsX : can't type characters Alt Key modifier on JDeveloper

I have a problem using JDeveloper 9.0.3 on macosx 10.2. My problem is that I cant type any characters alt key modifier like [{|]} and this characters are very important.
Can somebody help me

I just noticed that using the option key ... doesn't seem to work at all for accents or any of the other characters (like œ or © or ®) either.
Could it be that your keyboard is broken? Can you try another one?
Also try creating a new user account and see whether you have the same problem when logged into that.
If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the Option/alt key, do you see the special characters?

  • Can't find the alt key in 9105.

    I recently noticed that there is no alt key in my newly purchased pearl 9105 and I need to figure out a way to do something with alt key and a key combination to clear the app world. Can anyone tell me a workaround to this?

    On the 9105 model, to clear the AppWorld cache: 
    Up, Down, Up, Down, Up + RST
     The up/down keys are the volume keys. I've been told this is the keyboard sequence, but I don't have the ability to test. I don't know if you need to use multi-tap for RST or if just one key press is sufficient. Perhaps you can let me know.

  • Enabling Windows-style Alt-key navigation (Alt hit the underlined character

    Is there a way to enable in 10.6/Snow Leopard (or maybe via 3rd party app) what used to be in Windows XP, where you can navigate menus in Finder and applications using Alt key. There is a letter of each menu choice underlined (which shows all the time or just went Alt key is pressed)? Hard to navigate with so much mouse movement. Mostly interested in feature in Office 2008 apps since that is where spend a lot of time.

    Hi Kurt,
    That's true for many shortcuts, and the basic system shortcuts are quite intuitive, and easy to remember. But for some (some of the ones I use the most), there is no simple shortcut. E.g. pressing "alt -> i -> m" (I think it is) in office for windows will open a recently used symbols where you can use the arrows and enter to quickly insert. It takes no more than a second, two at the very most, if you know where you symbol is located in the matrix of 4x5 recent symbols. Otherwise, you can map special characters to key-combos. (e.g. I have alt+a making a Greek alpha, one I need frequently, and have not found a way to do quickly in word for Mac).
    The fastest way I've found to insert my Greek alpha in word for mac (without installing extra software like ukelele) is to press "ctrl + F2", then "i", then enter, then "S" twice, then "enter" twice. And then you still need to use the mouse to scroll down and find your character (alpha).
    If you know of a quicker way, I'd be thrilled to learn about it? I know it's not hours a day we're talking, it still just feels annoying when you have to do something to much slower than you are used to.
    Cheers,
    W
    Btw, there are also a lot of programs (especially more specialized ones), where there are no shortcuts, only the link in the menus. In e.g. ImageJ, it has saved me some time being able to go to the menu with ctrl+F2 whenever I needed to copy to system (not just copy), find edges or open histogram.

  • Alt key frustration

    I keep working on a document, having to zoom in and out as well as change brush sizes and hardness, almost everything that involves the alt key, and it keeps getting me stuck on the menu bar.  This will either reset my tool to the previous one I was working with, cause me to button mash the alt key until something works again, or click on the image and undo whatever happened so that I can use what my desired feature is.
    Is there some way that I can take away the ALT key functionality to select any menu items so that I don't have to go through this, or is it simply a Windows 7 thing?  Cause this is annoying as hell.

    This probably has to do with the order in which the keys were pressed. If you press Alt first, does it work the way you want it to?

  • Wireless keyboard connected but can't type in password

    I updated from an iOS 10.8 to 10.9 recently after my hard drive crashed and had to get replaced. I have connected the wireless keyboard connected but I can't type in certain key letters. I can only type in numbers and the middle set of letters. The other letters which I can't type into as my password.

    Hello amandateavy,
    It sounds like your bluetooth keyboard is connected but only some of the keys on it work. I recommend starting by performing a PRAM reset, and then booting to Safe Boot:
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
    And:
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
    The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

    Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
    Cheers all.

    There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.

  • How can i type international alphabet characters into keywords, title, and captions in Lightroom 4?

    How can i type international alphabet characters into keywords, titles, and Captions in Lightroom 4?  Usual Microsoft key shortcuts not working.

    I haven't found a way to do that directly, but there is a workaround. It' s a bit cumbersome, so it's only good for the occasional character.
    In MS Word or any other text editor create a file that contains all the international characters you need.
    When you need to insert one of these characters into Lr (captions, title, keywords) copy the character from your text document and paste it into Lr where needed.
    On Windows Ctrl + C / V works fine.

  • I can't type some characters into firefox for android with physical keypad

    I am using an android device which is a Sharp 007sh that come with a physical 9 number keypad like those old nokia phone, running stock android 2.3 and using an input method modifier named as cedIME that can be downloaded from google play.
    and with this setup, to type character into the phone, it is necessary to press multiple time a ley to get a character. For instance, to type a 'z' into the phone, you'll have to press the '9' button four time, so it change from w to x to y and finally z. However, in Firefox, when doing so to url bar and text area, pressing the first time the button '9' would create a highlighted character 'w', then another press would change the character from 'w' to 'x', but then it no longer being highlighted and the input cursor move to the right of it. As such, pressing the button '9' for the third time would not result in the intended change from 'x' to 'y', instead it would simply add a new character 'w' after the previous character 'x', and pressing the fourth time would thus result in another 'x', which make the output become 'xx', instead of the intended 'z' character. This problem is so far unseen on any other apps.

    Hi Lilybri,
    I still have this problem with the accents in AC and I've just found that problem comes from the double-type characters (like the accents in Spanish).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/double-byte-characters-cannot-input.html
    BTW, I got no answer from Adobe and i'ts been more than 2 months since I registered the bug...
    Best regards!

  • Using the Alt key and numeric code from Character Map to insert special characters in Office 2010 programs

    I am used to using the ALT key and specific numbers for characters from the Character Map to place characters in Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel. I have a new Lenovo T530 Laptop running the Windows 7 Professional Operating System. I have MS Office
    2010 Home and Business. In previous versions of Office, this feature worked first time, every time. On this machine, it is a 'no go' situation. Lenovo tech support says it is a Microsoft issue and Microsoft says it is a Lenovo issue. Either way, I'm having
    difficulty resolving the issue and getting this wonderful featrure working for me. Any suggestions and guidance would really be appreciated. Thank you. 

    Hi,
    Haven't been verified this myself, but since this feature require to use the numeric keypad to input the value, I suspect the cause of the issue is the laptop keyboard.
    To workaround this issue, try enable the numeric keypad from your laptop keyboard, normally, we can enable it by press
    Fn + Num Lock.
    After that, try insert characters again.

  • I have MacAir with OS 10.8.4, how can I cancel the automatic link of my USB flashdisk to Mac instead of BootCamp, since I have one time press the ALT key before choosing "MAC" or "BOOTCAMP". Thanks

    That only happens when you are running Windows in a Virtual Machine with OS X as the host. Shut down the VM and restart your Mac.  Once the VM is running again and you insert a USB flash drive you should get that prompt again.

  • I copied our entire music folder from old PC on tovnew iMac, all our muisc is there, but not our individual libraries have gone. and holding down the alt key when opening iTunes, brings up no options to choose or create  libarys, can i recover our liba

    Hi
    I copied our entire music folder from our old pc on to the new imac, and all the apps, music etc is there, but no individual libarys, we had 5 very different ones, when pressing and holding the alt key on opeing itunes, nothing happens it just opens into itunes, no option to choose or create a libary, what am i doing wrong?

    Did you copy the entire iTunes folder, not just media?  This includes the critical library.itl file.
    Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
    Now you say you had 5 libraries.  If you really mean that then you would have to have copied 5 different iTunes folders in their entirety, not just one folder.  Anyway, something makes me feel you did not copy a whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files, you only copied the music.
    On the starting with the option (alt) key held down I really don't know what to advise.  It works for me hundreds of times and just about everybody else here.  The only thing I can suggest is to hold the key down longer or perhaps start iTunes and then 1 second later hold down the key for a few seconds.

    I'm confused
    I took this to mean that your DID have an install disk.
    By holding down the "C" key, you are booting to the install CD.
    Alternatively, you can hold down the "option" key, to select which drive to which you want to boot.

  • How can I type Korean characters with Firefox 4?

    I upgraded to Firefox 4 and now I have difficulty typing Korean characters. When I switch my keyboard to Korean and start typing, the characters go to a bar on the bottom of the browser. It is not even a bar for inserting text. There is no insert button and it only allows me to type one syllable block.
    I found a temporary, but still frustrating, fix by going View -> Character Encoding -> Customize List and adding one of the Korean character encodings. When I ran out of encodings, it worked simply to click OK, and I would able to type in Korean. But now I can only type in Korean for a few syllables or on one tab before the system reverts to disallowing me to type Korean characters.
    Is there something I can do to permanently fix this, or should I resign myself to waiting for an update or downgrading to Firefox 3? I like Firefox 4 with the exception of this Korean character issue.

    That is up to Delicious or whoever created their Firefox extension to fix, not something for Mozilla to fix.
    See this article which explains how to fix compatibility in the Delicious extension to get it to work in Firefox 4.0.x versions. <br />
