If you pop it off you may not be able to reseat it properly.
Better to get a can of compressed air and aim just around the edges of the key.
Most computer or office stores carry cans of compressed air for cleaning keyboards.

Removing Keys from a Macbook - Can you pop them off?
On the 13 inch macbook - can you pop off the keys individually and put them back on?
Similar to say how you would on a standard keyboard?
I wanted to know if anyone has done this? I thought I read in another post that you couldn't do this on the Macbook without removing the entire case?
Just curious to hear what people have to say?
Thanks!Apple service documentation outlines procedures to do this for MacBooks, but I do not recommend that you attempt it unless it is absolutely necessary. There are two different and incompatible keysets for such keyboards: one for units manufactured by Darfon, the other for units built by Mitsumi.

Disabling RETURN key in jTable
Hi,
I have a readonly jTable with some buttons underneath it.
If i press the RETURN key it changes the focus to the next row in the table. Instead of this, i want the RETURN key to activate one of the buttons.
I tried to disable the ENTER key action on the jTable by putting :
table.getInputMap().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER,0),"none");However, this doesn't give the desired result.
Do i need to specify another keycode to disable the RETURN key or do i miss something else ?
Thx for any help on this.
Roger.Did you specify what action to take with the line of code you posted?
Action none = new AbstractAction() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e ){
//do whatever action you want taken here
pane.getInputMap().put( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0 ), "none" ); -
Return key broken, only works with holding control key
I think my young daughter did something on accident while using the computer.
The return key only works now while holding down the control key. It will not work as it normally should. I do alot of word processing on my computer and this is an big hassle now.
Please help. This is a serious pain in my.........
thanks - sama brody, I did already try my older mac keyboard and it has the same problem. Here is a couple more pieces of info that may help.
When this started, my daughter was playing the apple Chess game. With the voice. This problem started after that. And, with my current problem, sometimes the voice comes on and will read me a folder name, or read me my email subject.
Today, the return key started working for a few hours, but then stopped again.
This is weird and i am clueless. Anymore thoughts?? -
I had a case that I drop little juice over my macbook air, I dried it immediately and it keep working fine, as this happen while I am traveling I kept working on it for around two week, it was working fine except that the few key became sticky.
When I back to Jordan I sent it to the authorized support center “ Multivision” in Amman and asked them to help in cleaning the keyboard as it still sticky and I explained to them that the issue and I clarified that all are working fine.
For a two days they didn’t back to me and they answered that they are still checking it, and then after they just called me saying that my macbook is damaged and not working and its better for me to buy a new one!!!
They say that the liquid damaged the main board! I explained to them that this can’t be as it was working fine when I delivered it to them and I didn’t ask them to open it I told them to help in cleaning the keyboard!
I am complaining about this support behavior and they were not cooperative nether polite in communicating.
I am not convinced that the liquid damaged my macbook and I think that the staff at “Multivision” are not qualified and did something wrong to damage my macbook!
I need you help to investigate this issue and have a feedback.Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

Uix: return key as accelerator?
Hello!
Is there any way to use the return key to submit a form in uix? Someone else on this board said there isn't two years ago, but I can't believe this, as this is an important improvement to every UI. Take Google, for example, and imagine how annyoing it would be to use the mouse for every search you start. I know that I can implement accelerators like Alt+S easily, but I want people to see the results when they just hit enter intuitively.
I've tried to get this working using a client-side event handler:
if(window.event.keyCode==13)
SIMULATE_CLICK_ON_BUTTON;I could not figure out how to submit the form correctly, that is, I don't know what to fill in for SIMULATE_CLICK_ON_BUTTON. A simple frmDqu.submit() did something (I could see it in the browsers status bar), but the page was still the same.
It would be nice if someone could help me here!
Greetings,
MichaelHi Michael,Hello!
Thank you for your answers. I'll try to explain it a little bit better.
What is your exact requirement,I have an application with many use cases. Most of them just manage DB tables, so they consist of one page for search and navigation (and another one for editing existing and creating new entries; there are also three data actions doing create, commit and rollback). I think it would be best to look at the search/nav page first however. I built it by dragging a 'search form' from the DataControls palette to the page. When I start the application, the table is visible, then I click on my 'search' button, the table disappears and the search form shows up. The first messageTextInput gets the focus. What I want the user to do is to just press, for example, |Tab||Tab| to jump to the third input, type text, hit |Enter|. This should invoke the 'execute' button, which is the first button in the search form and has its location left to the 'cancel' button within a page button bar inside the same labeledFieldLayout the messageTextInputs are in. I hope this is clearly enough, i have added the code at the bottom however..
I should mention that I use the BLAF (Oracle) visual. Using a different style containing buttons instead of images like MINIMAL, there are default buttons.
My hope was that I could use a small JavaScript in the keyPress event handler of the form to trigger the 'execute' button, as I mentioned in my first post. I know that the handler works, I just do not know how to simulate a click on the button (which is actually an <a>+<img> in the BLAF environment). So i would need a line of code I can put in the client-side event handler that 'clicks on the execute button' for me.
which version of JDev
or UIX you are currently using.I am using Oracle JDev 10g. The about box tells me:
Version 9.0.5.2 build # 1618

How do I perform an action on return key press in an inputListOfValues?
I know about the autoSubmit attribute, but I do not want to perform an action on a tab character or when exiting focus. Instead, I want to perform the same action as pressing a button when the user presses the return key in the input field. For example, an inputListOfValues for a search input, and a search button. When the user presses the return key, I would like the search to be performed. I'm sure that this can be done, I'm just not sure how. Thanks for any info.
I did something similar, on an input box, not on an inputListOfValues, but I assume it should work the same way more or less. I got it from
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31973/af_event.htm#DAFBJGAH
I used it for my login page so the user doesn't have to click on Login, just press enter after entering the password. I just had to map the corresponding method binding.
BTW, the link above doesn't tell you have to add the javascript to the page. What I did was add an af:resource element inside of af:document.
Hope this helps. -
Return Key no longer works in sql windows or procedure editors.
The <return> key no longer works in my SqlDeveloper editors. Is there an easy fix? I tried resetting the Option for the carriage return but it did not change anything.
So if you go to your shortcut keys (Tools > Preferences > Shortcut Keys) and search for "Enter", what commands are associated with the Enter shortcut? If you have tried remapping the Enter key to something else, it may have removed the standard association with the "Insert New Line" command.
You can reset to the default (which should fix the problem, but lose any custom shortcuts) with More Actions (top right) > Load Keyboard Scheme > Default.

My "return" key no longer works on my keyboard. When I first started having issues with it, I'd have to make sure to hit the key in the center in order for it to work. Then, that was only working sometimes and I'd have to hit the key pretty hard to get it to work. Now it doesn't work at all. It was never sticky or anything like that, it just seems to have gradually stopped working. It's the only key that I have a problem with, but it's a pretty significant one. For many programs, I'm able to get by using the enter key instead, but that doesn't work for all programs. I was wondering if there was an easy fix to my problem since I don't really have the extra money to replace the keyboard.
I'm not sure if this is a related problem or not, but in January, my ibook crashed. I could not boot it up without getting the kernel error. When I tried booting it up from the OS disk, it didn't recognize my hard drive, but my hard drive was still recognized in the Disk Utility. I was able to reinstall the OS, but lost everything in the process. The same thing happened again in April. It was around May that I started having the issue with my return key. I've had my iBook since January of 2003 and never had a single problem until this past January.
Any help/advice/etc. would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
~TiffanyHave you tried cleaning underneath the key? Sometimes things get stuck there and the key becomes inoperable. I've used canned air, tweezers, and a small paintbrush to do the job.
Changing the keyboard is not difficult; in fact, it it one of the few Apple approved DIY repairs. If cost is an issue check on eBay for a replacement.

Automatic Row Processing (DML) - Return Key Into Item
Hello,
This question is on Apex 4.2:
I'm Displaying the [UNIKEY] column value after the record is inserted into the table using :
page process > process row table_name > Source: Automatic Row Processing (DML) > Return Key Into Item > "Item Name"
This works fine while inserting records, my question is why this does not respond on update / delete ?
ϯ LTLT
Check your branches.
What might be happening is that on insert and update an other branch is followed.
Where the branch of the insert either isn't clearing the cache of the page or is setting the item with it's own value.
The branch on the update on the other hand is clearing the cache of the page and not setting the item.
With a delete there is a clear cache process generate by the wizard. Check if this process is only running on the delete and not on the update.
From memory the process is called something with reset.
If the above doesn't help try to replicate the problem on apex.oracle.com and give access with a guest developer account so we can have a look.

Hi all, I have been using macs for years, but this is my first Macbook. I love it so far, but I do have a question about the return/enter key. Mine does not seem to function. I have to use the enter key located by the apple key. Is there some easy fix that I can do, or is this something that needs to be addressed by service?
Thanks! I look forward to your responses.
AnnetteHi Annette,
It's hard to say but judging by the fact that it's only that one key I would venture a guess that it's hardware related. If you have an Apple Store close by I'd take it in or if not give Apple a call and see what they say.
As I say my guess is it'll be something that'll need repairing. -
Return key funtion on 6500 Slide
Hi!
When writing an email, if i want to make a new line (like pressing return key) i have to press the * key to get to the symbols and at the end is a return key function.
Is there a quicker way to do this?
Thanks,
EngelkottHi Engelkott,
Im afraid that is the only way.
Several shortcut keys like that would be useful though.
Maybe one day.
My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.

Return key disabled when using safari with Mavericks OS X
Hi,
Has anyone got a way to use return key when using safari??niall1111 wrote:
It is,and always was, the return key that did this in snow leopard and other operating systems!
??? I have two Macs that can run Snow Leopard & in neither of them does the return key take me back a page. Also, nowhere in the lists of keyboard shortcuts for OS X or any of the browsers I use (Safari, Firefox, & Chrome) is the return key mentioned as providing this shortcut.
Some web pages may have been programmed to respond to the return key that way, but not many I have ever encountered are. I guess it is possible some extension or other third party add-on might provide that function, but itis definitely not something that has ever been built into OS X or any of the common browsers used with it.
In Safari (on Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, & Mavericks) two keyboard shortcuts are provided by default to go back a page: one is the CMD-[ combination Barney already mentioned. The other is CMD + the left cursor key. Likewise, CMD+] or CMD + the right cursor key will take you forward a page (if you have previously gone back to a previous page). -
Whilst keying in an email, if I accidently touch the return key the phone sends the email even though I have not finished writing it. I then have to start all over again. Help !!
Hey Pete,
Check this post out:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2344732&tstart=0
It's about an iBook but the principle is the same. Spills?
Doesn't take much, often just a tiny drop if it finds it's way into the wrong place. Did you try another keyboard? Any USB keyboard will work. If it's a PC keyboard the command, option and control keys will be in different places.

A, delete a d return keys not wirking
My A, delete and return keys are not working
Hi s.darge,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If some keys are not working on your MacBook, this test can help to isolate the cause:
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
You can find the article with these steps here:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
