Overriding shortcut keys for specific applications

How can I override the F9 key so that it works in Flash as its supposed to (open Actions dialog box)? I tried using the System Preferences but it isn't changing it. Flash will not allow me to reassign the key either. The F9 key shows all open windows even when Flash is active. Can I turn off the shortcut in System Preferences? I can't even find it...

Open system preferences and click on Keyboard & Mouse, then Keyboard Shortcuts. Scroll down to Dock, Expose and Dashboard, there you will find all the key settings for this.
Just click the box off for no key or click directly on F9 for All Windows and assign a new keystroke to it. You can choose an F key not already assigned or add a keystroke, such as control or option plus the F9 key.

hi, in apple MacBook Air 11.6" what is the shortcut key for print screen

To capture the entire screen to an image, use the key combination ⌘ shift 3.
To capture a selection rectangle, ⌘ shift 4.
To capture the frontmost window, ⌘ shift 4 and then press the space bar.
The screen grab will appear on your Desktop. Open it in Preview or your favourite image editing software, and print in the usual manner.

How to set Shortcut keys for button in Apex

Hi
Could anyone help me on how to set shortcut keys for buttons in Apex.
I need to use say ALT + S to submit the page.
The following thread pertaining to HTML DB refered to use ACCESS key. but that couldnt work in my case.
Re: operation of the app. with the keyboard
Any pointers on achieving this would be helpful.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I’m afraid you must do it using javascript key listener. You can’t use action() on template based buttons because they are actually not HTML buttons but images with hyperlink.
Key listener checks which key has been pressed down and invoke some JS function. For example, write this code in page header:
<script>
document.onkeydown=keyCheck;
function keyCheck(e){
     var KeyId = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
     switch(KeyId){
          case 113:
               doSubmit('SAVE');
               break;
          case 118:
               alert('Hello');
               break;
</script>
This script will submit page with request 'SAVE' if you press F2 or will show alert message if you press F7. Modify it to your issue.
Regards,
Przemek

Robohelp Shortcut keys for styles

RH8 HTML
Just wondering if theres a way to set shortcut keys for styles, similar to how you can do it in MS Word.
Just makes formatting etc so much faster, instead of having to use the mouse and click around.
I see I can set shortcuts to do other RH functions, like create new topics etc....but nothing for text formatting.
Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick
RoboHelp has always offered the following:
Ctrl+Alt+1 Applies Heading 1
Ctrl+Alt+2 Applies Heading 2
Ctrl+Alt+3 Applies Heading 3
Ctrl+Shift+N Applies Normal
Aside from that, perhaps use something like Macro Express to create a macro you could use.

Non numeric keyboard - I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth

I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth - like Page Up, Page Down etc, but the new Apple wireless keyboard hasn't got the numeric keypad.
Are there alternative shortcut keys for Page Up/Down? Or can I programme any of the Function keys to do that instead?

You can create custom shortcuts pretty easily. Here is an article that explains how to do it:

Is There a Shortcut Key for Change/Find ?

Hello and thanks in advance,
Using the InDesign CS-5 Find/Change feature, I am always using the Change/Find button.
*** Is there a way to create a shortcut key for this option, Change/Find ? ***
Since I use it so often, it would be good if it could be one of the "F" keys: F1, F2 or whatever.
I looked under "Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts" ... but I could not find the option Change/Find there. Did I miss it ?
Thanks again,
Zorba

Here is what I have now done, based on the suggestions above:
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/robinwhitman/tech_support/id-edit-keyboard-shortcut s.jpg
As you can see from the screen shot above,
I have opened up the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu,
Product Area: Text and Tables
In the Commands window I have selected:
=====================
Grep Replace wth Change to text and Find next
==============
Now at this point, suppose I want to make the shortcut to activate this, the F4 key.
I click to put the cursor into the cursor into the box that says, New Shortcut
and then if I press "F4", it seems to be already taken by the Snow Leopard OS ... on my screen appears the Weather, calculator, calendar and clock.
So I cannot assign the key and create the shortcut.
Am I close to the goal here, or am I on the wrong track ?
Thanks ... Zorba

Shortcut key for Firefox icon won't start multiple sessions

If is set up a shortcut key for the desktop icon to start firefox, it can start one but not multiple windows/sessions of firefox. I want it to start a new firefox window, just like I can with IE, even if firefox is already running. How can I fix this?

Dear Q,
Many thanks for your help!
Didn't work straight up for a couple of times.
Firefox(3.6.8) just wouldn't start,but did allow me to uninstall it.
Which I did, removing all personal data. (second time)
I then installed older version (3.6) , and is up and running again.
Once again , many thanks , for your time and effort to help.

Disable shortcut keys for Universal Access

At our school we have a bit of an issue with students using keyboard shortcuts to set the Universal Access options (usually to Black on White, but also Zoom and VoiceOver), which freaks out the next student using the computer. I'd like to disable the shortcut keys for those settings. Are there ARD Unix commands that would do it?

Hello Francois,
Thank you for your fast reply!
I tried your recommendation, but got the following result:
When I have a label of "& OK" with the blank symbol as ALT-255, the Button in the Alert Box still has the focus. It seems as if there now is a blank in front of the OK (which is underlined). This does not really solve my issue, because the Button still has the focus and that should not be. The best solution for the user would be if he only could accept the message with a mouse klick.
Is there an other suggestion?
Thank you so much!

License Key for my applications

I have created an application and would like to distribute as freeware from my product website.
I would like to enforce users of my application to continually upgrade to the next version of the application on expiry of a license key.
How can I create license keys for my application that will enable me to specify an expiry date etc.. That way when the license expires the users are required to input a new license key of the application.
Thanks for any information !

Remember, you are developing in Java. The Java VM executes byte code. Byte code can be modified in place, or reverse engineered, modified at the source level and re-compiled.
You can not stop clever people form working around whatever scheme you go for.
You may come up with a very cunning scheme indeed and congratulate yourself on a job well done. Then along comes some guy/gal who's brighter and/or more experienced than you and in two shakes your scheme is compromised.
Consider the information in this link: http://www.cigital.com/hostile-applets/maginot.html
Large, expensive, commercial systems have large, expensive licensing mechnisms. They can all be compromised. Take BEA's scheme for WLS, they keep chaning it between version, but you just need to be dilligent and figure it out. That is, I'm sure you could do it. I, of course, would never consider attempting such a thing.
One word of warning - messing with commercial vendors code will, at the very least, invalidate your license agreement and, at worst, end up with you spending time behind bars.
Let me say here that I do not advocate reverse engineering commercial code. There, I think I've covered my ass on that one ;)
Having said all this. Even the simplest scheme will work for the vast majority of users/developers who have dificulty working out how to set their own class path.
My advice? If you insist on putting this key scheme into your system, spend as little time as possible and make it real simple. As Albert Einstein once said "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler".

Standard function keys in specific applications

Just wondering whether there is any way to use the standard functions of F1, F2 etc in specific applications without having to have this function enabled in Leopard as a whole. For example, in general, I want to be able to adjust the volume and brightness on my Macbook Pro without having to push the fn-key. However, when, and only when, I use Pages, I want to use these keys as standard-function keys in order to be able to switch between styled. Is there any way I can make this happen??

I would settle for knowing how to do that again, but what I would really like is the ability to either quickly turn on and off the Mac default uses for the function keys or, better yet, have it turn off in certain apps.
I've tried the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys," button in the Keyboard & Mouse System Settings, but I don't see where that has any sort of effect.
yes, it does have an effect. it lets you use F-keys as regular keys and map them to what you want.
The reference there to the 'fn' key makes me think it's only for laptops.
no, this is for any keyboard that has a fn key. if you have it on your keyboard then you get that checkbox in keyboard system preferences. if you don't have it the checkbox won't even show up. when the box is checked you have to hold fn to get the functionality of the F-keys written on them. otherwise they act as regular keys that can be mapped to whatever you want. you can do this in system preferences->keyboard&mouse->keyboard shortcuts.

Shortcut keys for FCP on small bluetooth keybord?

Does any one know of a reference on-line for FCP shortcut keys when using the small wireless keyboard?
In particular, what sequence do you use for the Home and End keys when you don't have them on your keyboard?
Thanks

You can re-program your keyboard for system functions when you click on the apple at top right, and select preferences. To reprogram the keyboard for application functions, click 'preferences' in the specific application.
