Orange Key / Window in Application Shortcut - Canadian French CSA

I have two questions, firstly, it seems as though I have turned a key permanently orange. Although I cannot determine whether or not it was this way originally it seems to know be always orange in the Keyboard Viewer. I have the Canadian French - CSA keyboard and the key ¨^` is highlighted orange. Now when I press this key it automatically allows me to put this accent above the appropriate letters/keys. How do I turn this off?
Secondly, the reason I find myself in this position is because I was trying to find the 'move focus to next window in application' shortcut, which is usually ⌘`
This does not work, does anyone know how to do this shortcut on a Canadian French keyboard?
Thank you

¨^`should be highlighted orange.
The window shortcut is ⌘ + ⌥ + À

Keyboard: Canadian French - CSA

I'm using the "Canadian French - CSA" keyboard, but can't figure out how to type certain accents.
The "Keyboard Viewer" shows the basic accents (à, è, é, ô, ù), but not other ones like (ö, œ).
Does anyone know what the complete layout is for the "Canadian French - CSA" keyboard (MacBook OS X 10.4.10)?
Merci!
Kim

In the International section of System Preferences, go to Input Menu and at the top of the list, make sure the Keyboard Viewer is turned on. Now, in the input menu, click Show Keyboard Viewer and if you hold down Option, Shift, or both, you can see the characters produced by the other keys (on the U.S. International layout, for instance, with the Keyboard Viewer open, holding Option would result in ß, esszett, appearing on the S key).

Unable to set Canadian French CSA layout for external keyboard when language set to English

I use both French and English on my iPad. I now have an external keyboard, with French Canadian CSA layout. However, the Canadian French CSA layout for the hardware (external) keyboard is not available when using English as an input language. Many other layouts are available (e.g., US, Spanish ISO, etc.), but not this one. French Canadian CSA layout is available with French as the input language.
How can I add Canadian French CSA hardware keyboard layout when using English as the input language?

It's not possible for users to add keyboard layouts to any iOS device. All you can do is ask Apple to add it in a future update:

Canadian French Keyboard Layout

I live in the Quebec Province of Canada and I'm used to a different Keyboard Layout for the "French Canadian" Layout.
When setting up my computer the only choice I have is "Canadian French CSA" with correspond to the "Canadian Multilingual" Layout (see: en.wikipedia.org /wiki/File:KBCanadian_MultilingualStandard.svg)
I can't find anywhere a real French Canadian Keyboard (see: en.wikipedia.org /wiki/File:KBCanadianFrench.svg)
Anyone have an idea how I can fix that issue? Is there a place where I can download additional Keyboard Layouts or something?
Thanks

Section: Finder keyboard shortcuts.

Converting Mac keyboard shortcuts to Windows/PC based shortcuts.

Hello,
Let me say, I have been using Mac based platforms since close to 1991 on and off. I used System 7 (and OS 8/9, but close enough to System 7) for many years up until I started to use Windows starting on the later 9x and XP platforms. As I start to drift away from Windows to more likely use Macs, however I would like to have a consistent keyboard shortcut system similar to Windows or Linux/UNIX (for that matter).
I actually get confused very easily switching from Macs and Windows with keyboard commands often when I use Windows comp and when I am using the Mac. (Just switching from different kinds of keyboards confuse me from the razor thin keys to a regular keyboard, because going from another one confuses me because of different pressures to press the on.)
I also believe this may have to do with a "workflow" process/scripting, if I am not mistaken. Is there a script I can download, that has close to the standard Windows/PC commands that I can import into the Mac, and can these scripts be edited to adapt my own commands as well? Is there a way to use most of the function keys (F1-12) for the standard commands for the different purposes? I also would like the Option (alt)-Tab to cycle the different apps and Option-Esc to cycle all windows opened. I would like to try to reduce all Option/Command/Control/Shift commands to just a couple of keystrokes or an F key. These modifier keys I think are becoming old, especially since it doesn't meet Apple's simplicity, giving there is up to three keystrokes to press at a given time for some commands.
I had tried the way on the System Preferences, but it doesn't go globally through all applications - real problem lies on the Apple apps on some. I strongly believe this is possible to do, since it might be able to work via a scripting system. I hope this could work. Apple has come a long way to open up the system's architecture without really messing things up, or just opening up the OS without hex apps is great. I hope they can just keep this up so the users can decide how they want their mac to work, because they know what's right for their purposes.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

You may like youpi key. It is free. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported. There is a commercial version you can buy, called iKey.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11485&vid=75326
Here is my script for listing my application folder. I have it assigned to function-key 6.
tell application "Finder"
activate
select window of desktop
make new Finder window to startup disk
select Finder window 1
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "Applications" of startup disk
select Finder window 1
set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
end tell
This script was automatically generated in script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some minor editing, I copy the script to youpi key.
I have all of my frequently used applications set to function keys. I am thinking of changing the switching to Scripts because there seems to be a side effect to some of the switching like the speaking.

Application Shortcuts for Numbered Keyboard

I just replaced my wireless keyboard with a wired one that had a number pad and extra F keys (F13 - F19). Im trying to make these F keys shortcuts for opening applications. Ive used the obvious "application shortcuts" in the keyboard control menu, but it doesnt seem to do anything.
Am I missing an obvious step?
Thanks!

   You might try one of these keyboard remapping programs.
Glad you like it!
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."
http://www.scriptsoftware.com/ikey/
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.

Are you trying to repair disk permissions or repair the startup disk?

You can verify the hard disk with the Disk Utility app in the Applications/Utilities folder but you cannot repair the disk that way. You must boot from your install disk to do that.

Can't see list of minimized windows when I minimize windows into application

I love the Mac option to minimize windows into application icon, but recently it's behaving abnormally for me. When I minimize, for example, three Word documents into the application icon, I don't see the list of those documents when I click on the icon (they usually stack vertically in the menu, above "Options"). To see those documents, I have to click the application icon and select "show all windows".
I can't figure out what's going on, and it's driving me nuts.
What I'm seeing (I have three documents minimized into the Word application here):
What I should be seeing (This is just a screen grab from a tutorial, not my machine):
Here are my current dock preferences/settings:
I've already rebooted. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist. Move the .plist to the trash..
In Applications/Utilities/Terminal type
killall Dock
Restart and test. You may have to update your dock to the way you want it.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Application shortcut for bookmarks toolbar not working on firefox for mac

OS X allows users to assign shortcut keys to arbitrary menu items. I'm trying to add an application shortcut to firefox to show/hide the bookmarks toolbar (in my case, I'd like to use cmd-ctrl-L, but I've tried others too), however the shortcut key doesn't work. I can see the menu item flash as if the OS is trying to activate it, but the bookmarks toolbar doesn't toggle. Manually clicking the menu item does work.
Any ideas? Is this a known bug? Am I missing something obvious?

Nope. Haven't solved it, and I'm convinced I can't from this end. The only thing helping me is the extension I mentioned above, but that fix is very specific to showing/hiding the bookmark bar.

E72 - How to configure application shortcut list

I'm trying to reconfigure the Home Page on my newly acquired E72. I understand how to select the application shortcuts to be used. What I don't understand is how to make an application appear in the list I can choose from. If I install a new application (or remove an old one) is there a way of editing this list ?
Thanks

Are you sure the Noki bookmarks aren't stored in the web browser somewhere? If not, then that really is strange.
I don't know if anybody here can give a more technical answer. If I had to guess, I'd say the application list springs from one of the .rsc files commonly installed with a .sis package. See C:\resource\apps\ (files usually/always protected) and also get yourself a copy of SisXplorer (Windows program). There is a Symbian OS book available free online at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Symbian_OS_Internals and also a Nokia developers board at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/ (currently offline, after being hacked) where you could likely get more information.
And if I've way overblown the question, the straightforward answer is that the list is OS-maintained and protected from user tampering. If those Noki bookmarks aren't stored in the browser, you'll likely just have to ignore them.

What is the alternative for DisplayMemberPath="Value" for Windows Store applications?

I think there is a bug with Windows Store Applications when it comes to using DisplayMemberPath="Value".
Here is my code
<ComboBox Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" SelectedValuePath="Key" DisplayMemberPath="Value" x:Name="comboBox1" FontSize="25"/>
var source = new Dictionary<string, double>();
source.Add("Item1", 0.4);
source.Add("Item2", 0.3);
source.Add("Item3", 0.1);
source.Add("Item4", 0.1);
var formateDSource = new Dictionary<string, string>();
foreach (var item in source)
formateDSource.Add(string.Format("[{0}, {1}]", item.Key, item.Value), item.Key);
comboBox1.ItemsSource = source;
If you use this code in WPF in works perfectly. However if you use this code in a Windows Store Application then the Combo Box is empty and an error is thrown. So is there an alternative way to do this in Windows Store Applications and have I unearthed a
bug? Because I have researched the Web for days and found no solution to this.*please do not comment unless you have tried my code as a Windows Store App not a WPF in Visual Studios. Can Someone post an example based on my code that works in Windows Store
Apps please because this is terrible.
Thanks

USB interface locked for windows-based application via VMWare fusion 3

recently I found some applications based on windows XP (I used Vmware fusion 3 on mac OS X 10.6.3, macbook pro) can't find the h/w connected to USB interface..e.g.
I have a 3G wireless modem card, the console in windows (of course based on virtual machine VMWARE) says no any modem card founded when I connected to my mac pro with USB interface..
another case is I use ebank client s/w with U-key.. of course doesn't find any U-KEY when i insert it too..
It seems that the USB interface is locked when I use windows-base application via virtual machine, right?

yes, your suggestions are very useful.. I tried again..it asked me to select if connecting to "windows" or "mac".. I made the mistakes before.. Now I selected "windows" and it was okay..
btw, one more question about the bridge connection.. when I dial through my 3G modem card (based on windows XP), I just only use IE as the web browser.. Safari is not ok. I assumed that I should make a bridge connection between 3G modem card and LAN connection, right? If yes, how to do it? I can't select two connections once a time in control panel..
Thanks for your answer!

Flexfield: Open Key Window issue

Hi All,
ebs 11.5.10.2
We have an issue with the profile Flexfield : Open key Window where when we try to query for an items (form: INVIDMPN):
Navigation path: PO Superuser -> Items -> manufacturer's Part Numbers -> By Items
We then have a form pop-up asking the Organizations. After choosing, another form pop-up asking Group, SubGroup and Number. After providing these 3 numbers and clicking on 'OK' there's another popup "Find Manufacturer Part Number (xx)" forms with the information I provided previously. When I click on "Find", I have the following:
My form session crash, application close and I have to relog. Here's the error message from the form:
FRM-92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted. This may be the result of a network error or a failure on the Server. You will need to reestablish your session.
Detail...
Java Exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.forms.engine.Runform.onUpdateHandler(Unknown Source)
I can see the same error in Console Java. I have the same behaviour with US and FRC language.
If I then change the profile Flexfield: Open Key Window from Yes to No at user level and do the same thing, everything works perfectly. I query for the same item and when I click on Query, it returns the item.
I couldn't find document on Metalink. I was curious to check with the community before opening an SR, in case someone hit that problem before?
Thanks!

Which particular registry key is being mentioned in the message?
