is there any solution.
Thanks

Hello Vikram,
Big Fan of you, you've helped me a lot in my query hope you'll do so this time too
need help here :make enter key work as tab in apex
$(document).ready(function() { $('input').keydown( function(e) { var key = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : 0; if(key == 13) { e.preventDefault(); var inputs = $(this).closest('form').find(':input:visible'); inputs.eq( inputs.index(this)+ 1 ).focus(); } }); });
This works fine on tabular forms if there are existing records but as soon as I hit add rows hitting enter does not move the cursor, can you help

Make Enter key act like Tab Key

Is there any way to make pressing the Enter key change the focus to the next field in the tab order? In other words, make the Enter and Tab keys act the same way?
Thanks!
Nelson

Hitting [Enter] key triggers "exit" event, so add the following code appropriately xfa.host.setFocus(TabTo); where 'TabTo' is the field name to set the focus. However you do need to match with the tabbing order in the form just to make sure [Enter] and [Tab] keys function similarly.

Making Enter key work

I have made a GUI and I want to make the 'Enter' key work on dialog boxes to operate the ok , button if it is the only button on the dialog box.
I have used the setMnemonic method for all the other buttons on other dialog boxes, but i don't want to have to press alt-Enter - i just want to be able to press Enter is this possible
cheers

To make a 'Default' button (that has a darker border, and will be pressed whenever Enter is pressed, look at getRootPane().setDefaultButton(button) called on a JDialog or JFrame. The keystroke for pressing a button with focus is actually Space.

How to make 'Key-Enter' trigger (when clicked on enter key)work like 'F8' key?

Hi . I have another question to be asked.
Oracle Forms 6i.
I have a form in which DEFAULT&SMARTBAR is the menu and there are no push buttons.
In the form, there is a 'field' named as 'ID No'. After entering 'ID No' in the field and click on 'Execute Query' button from the 'DEFAULT&SMARTBAR' menu, all the details of that respective 'ID No' gets displayed in all the other fields. Even if i press 'F8' all the fields gets displayed with the values.
But i have a requirement, i.e. after entering 'ID No' and click 'Enter' key , i want all the values to be displayed.
So i created a 'Key-Enter' trigger with the following code:
BEGIN
EXECUTE_QUERY;
END;
But after entering 'ID No' and click 'Enter' key, the values are not getting displayed.
What can i do to make this happen?
Thank You.

It depends how your form is created. If your ID item is part of the base table block, you can do this.
On your ID item, create a KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger:
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
execute_query;
else
next_item;
end if;
Now
- User clicks on enter query (via smart bar icon or F7).
- User enters ID and clicks <enter> key to execute the query.

Enter key instead of TAB key

Hi folks,
I'd like to make the ENTER key behave the same way as the TAB key in
the system I'm developing. I thought I would be able to do it by setting
the ENTER as a function key (using Window.SetAsFunctionKey), and
then after detecting an ENTER key press, request focus on the current
fieldwidget's 'NextTabField'. However, this attribute defaults to NIL unless
you override the default TAB sequence. And I don't really fancy setting
the Next and Prev TabField for every onscreen field.
Anyone done this before using a simpler method?
By the way, I don't really want to get into a long thread about whether it is
good practice to bypass Windows (TM) standards or not. We require
fast data entry, and keyboard entry is essential for that.

Duncan,
The application we are building will replace legacy application and had similar
requirements to accommodate the current users. We solved this problem by creating a
special frame, appropriately named as the "Terminal Frame". It is distributed as
part of the Scaffolds framework.
The Terminal frame implements ENTER instead of TAB key. As you know the tabbing
order in a terminal frame (top to bottom, left to right) is different than windows
tabbing order (left to right, top to bottom). The Terminal frame solves the tabbing
problem by constructing a "field traverse list" which includes all the fields in a
window including nested views ordered according to their X,Y co-ordinates. It is a
recursive method works on the same lines as described by Sakharov, Nickolay in
earlier mail. The method also sets the NextTabField, PrevTabField references for
each field in the traverse list.
This framework is working very well for us. In a terminal frame world, you still
have some user training issues as some of the fields (OutlineField, DropList,
ArrayField, CheckBoxe etc.) behave differently for ENTER and TAB keys. But these
are minimal compared to a complete change in style.
Hope this is helpful.
Good Luck,
Shirish

Thanks for your reply (even though it doesn't help me!).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating we abandon the TAB key
functionality in favour of the ENTER key. I just want to ADD the ENTER
key as a navigational aid for our 'legacy' users (and we have many). If it
is done right, there should be no need to tell the user about it. Their
transition to the new product would be virtually painless.
Since I posted my original question I've realised that the cost of
implementation is actually fairly low. And this is why. I have just
discovered that the default tab order defined by Forte (left to right, top to
bottom) is essentially useless for most of the windows we will be creating.
Therefore, we will need to override it by explicitly setting the
"NextTabField" and "PrevTabField" attributes of our input fields in virtually
every window. As I am writing the framework for our new product, I will
have to implement the facility to do this in the framework itself. And if we
have our tab order defined, then adding the ENTER key functionality is
minimal extra effort (see my original post). In fact, if I implement it in my
"CoreWindow" (the root of my windows framework inheritence tree), then
no-one will ever have to deal with it again.
The TAB key is not even much of a windows data-entry standard. Many
of our customers have defined secondary systems using Microsoft
Access, and it uses the ENTER key (along with the TAB key) to move
from field to field. Will these customers not complain that they cannot
use the ENTER key to move between fields if we don't implement it?
As we do not have the resources to completely rewrite our existing
COBOL system (over 2 million lines of code) in one go. We will be rolling
out the new system module by module. This means that a lot of our users
will be switching between the new windows interface and the text-based
unix telnet sessions. When I switch back and forth between windows
editors and 'vi' on the unix host, I experience first-hand how mixed
navigational facilities can hamper productivity!
Anyway, I was just hoping there might be a little setting somewhere in
Forte to switch this on, but as no-one has pointed it out, it seems unlikely.
Thanks again for your input, lively discussion is always welcome.

When I type an address in the location bar and hit Enter nothing happens. I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I fix it so that the Enter key works?

When I type a web address in the location bar and hit enter nothing happens. In order to go to the website I've typed in, I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I make it so that hitting the enter key takes me to the web page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since Firefox 4 Beta installed an update

The AVG addon seems to have caused the problem for me. I had it disabled and everything worked. Then I updated to AVG 2011 and the problem occurred. It seems to have reenabled itself after the update.
Just disabling it solved the problem.

Why isn't the enter key working in InDesign?

I have installed Adobe InDesign CS6 as creative cloud but pressing the enter key on the numbers keypad doesn't move my text to the next page as it should but just drops it to the next line. What can I do to resolve this?

Windows Laptop? Some of them have both the enter keys mapped together, and changing the state of the Numlock will swap between functions. If that's you, edit the shortcuts so bothEnter keys are a paragraph break, and make a new shortcut for page break (Numpad enter is actually a column break, by default).

How can I use the enter key instead of tab to change field focus?

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
We have a fillable PDF where the users enter numbers into fields. They want to be able to use the <enter> key on the 10-key pad instead of the <tab> key on the keyboard to move the focus to the next data entry field.
How can I set my PDF so that it recognizes the <enter> key instead of the <tab> key for changing focus?
Thanks!

You can use a custom Keystroke script, something like:
// Custom Keystroke script for text field
if (event.willCommit && event.commitKey === 2) {
getField("Text2").setFocus();
Where "Text2" is the name of the next field. This doesn't disable the Tab key though. For more information, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.608.html

Pressing the ENTER key in first tab -- a button in another tab is pressed?

Hi guys,
I am facing a problem. I have a tab with 4 different tabs. When I am in the first tab, and trying to change a control's value by pressing the Enter key, it suddently switches to the seconds tab and presses a button there.
Any idea how that happens? I want to prevent that from happening.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like you have the enter key assigned to some key navigation of another control. This is a general problem with the OK button of the system palette. Here is more information.

Make ENTER key function same as CTRL+F11 when in Query mode

I have a basic form I'm creating in Oracle Forms 6i.
When the form is in QUERY mode, I would like to make the enter key on the user's keyboard function the same as CTRL+F11 (execute the search).
Is this possible to do without modifying the key mappings file (.res)? Or would you have to make a change to this file in order to accommodate this capability?
Thanks,
Jeremy

You could write your own Key-Enter trigger at the Form level. Key-?? Triggers will fire in "Enter Query" mode, so you will have to check the Mode in your code. Something like:
/* Sample Key-Enter trigger */
BEGIN
   IF :System.Mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
      Execute_Query;
   ELSE
      ENTER;
   END IF;
END;Personally, I would educate the users to use the Ctrl-F11 keys rather than make a key stroke multi-function. What if they try to use the Enter key for navigation while in Enter-Query mode?
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Can anyone help to make those switches work between tab control

I try to use boolean control to switch between pages (tab control). But my "Goto page 1" or "Goto Page 2" stay on when it pressed. That causes back and furth between two pages all the time. I used this kind of swith with Labview 7 without problem, but when I update to labview 7.1 it causes this problem. Please help

Hi,
Change the mechanical action of your switches for latch, that way you're sure that the value of it is readed and it will work.

Enter Key works same as button click

.

Tharpa,
You can make your search field a text field with submit. This will submit the page and make the request the name of the item when the user presses enter while this field has focus.
I cannot currently look at a 3.2 instance and be more descriptive about how you can do this, but if i remember correctly it was a sub option of the text field.
Thanks,

Af:inputListOfValues sets value of first item in result set when using enter key or tab and component set to autosubmit=true

I'm using JDev 11.1.1.6 and when I type a value into an af:inputListOfValues component and hit either the enter key or the tab key it will replace the value I entered with the first item in the LOV result set. If enter a value and just click out of the af:inputListOfValues component it works correctly. If I use the popup and search for a value it works correctly as well. I have a programmatic view object which contains a single transient attribute (this is the view object which is used to create the list of value component from) and then I have another entity based view object which defines one of its attributes as a list of value attribute. I tried using an entity based view object to create the LOV from and everything works as expected so I'm not sure if this is a bug when using programmatic view objects or if I need more code in the VOImpl. Also, it seems that after the first time of the value being replaced by the first value in the result set that it will work correctly as well. Below are some of the important code snippets.
Also, it looks like it only doesn't work if the text entered in the af:inputListOfValues component would only have a single match returned in the result set. For instance given the result set in the code: Brad, Adam, Aaron, Fred, Charles, Charlie, Jimmy
If we enter Cha, the component works as expected
If we enter A, the component works as expected
If we enter Jimmy, the component does not work as expected and returns the first value of the result set ie. Brad
If we enter Fred, the component does not work as expected and returns the first value of the result set ie. Brad
I also verified that I get the same behavior in JDev 11.1.1.7

I have found a solution to this issue. It seems that when using a programmatic view object which has a transient attribute as its primary key you need to override more methods in the ViewObjectImpl so that it knows how to locate the row related to the primary key when the view object records aren't in the cache. This is why it would work correctly sometimes but not all the time. Below are the additional methods you need to override. The logic you use in retrieveByKey would be on a view object by view object basis and would be different if you had a primary key which consisted of more than one attribute.
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, Key key, int i) {
    return retrieveByKey(viewRowSetImpl, null, key, i, false);
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, String string, Key key, int i, boolean b) {
    RowSetIterator usersRowSetIterator = this.createRowSet(null);
    Row[] userRows = usersRowSetIterator.getFilteredRows("UserId", key.getAttribute(this.getAttributeIndexOf("UserId")));
    usersRowSetIterator.closeRowSetIterator();
    return userRows;
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, Key key, int i, boolean b) {
    return retrieveByKey(viewRowSetImpl, null, key, i, b);

Enter key press instead of tab key

I want to use enter key Instead of tab key in my page to move to next item
Please answer in detail steps because i am new to apex and especially to Javascript

I strongly advice against using an app like this.
I always play by the rule not to re-invent the wheel.
Try to convince the user from the new possibilities and the fact that tabbing is a default procedure.
You'll see that this will be easier than actually programming the enter-key to act like the TAB key.
I you really need to do this, then you'll need to do something like this
