PB15/OS X 10.4 without Enter Key

Hi all folks,
I spend some time to use a PB15 with OS X 10.4.4,
but all the time I try to use the Enter key (the between
right Apple and the Cursor Control keys) the key works
like the Return key.
I use the Keyboard Overview (from the little Flag in the
Menue) and alle the Time I press the Enter key a key
stroke for Return is displayed, not for Enter.
Where is the Enter key, does some know how to get the
key back.
With my PB12 (OS X 10.2.8) the Enter key is available,
all the time I use Key Caps Application a key stroke
is displayed for the right key. The PB12 know where
the Enter or Return key is, but the PB15 does not.
Is this a PB12/PB15 or a OS X 10.2/10.4 feature?!
Thanks for any help,
Lutz

You can remap the keyboard to some limited extent on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Though I'm not sure it will be able to do what you want. Backup your computer before attempting this in case it goes wrong.
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html explains how to backup.
There are quite a few third party macro and keyboard shortcut generation software titles on http://www.macupdate.com/ and http://www.versiontracker.com/ Use those search engines to find one that works best for you. Do two separate searches for macro, and keyboard shortcut when visiting them. Note since these programs modify how the system behaves, it is wise to backup your data before installing them, and make sure when you update your machine that you check that they are updated for your updated operating system before you update the operating system.

Is there a way to do an install of Adobe Pro XI without entering key until after the install?

Is it possible to set up an install of Adobe Pro XI that doesnt require the licence key to be entered at the time of the install, but instead upon the first time the application is run? We have various users with different license keys but want to automate one installation and just have them enter the key after the install has complete, when they go to use the software the first time. We are looking to set this up in SCCM 2012 R2. Thanks in advance for any insight!

Since upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2 my AVG extension has had to be disabled, as after typing in any web address in the address bar, the enter key had no effect and I could not go to the site without pressing the Reload arrow on right.

I have recently upgraded Firefox to the latest version 10.0.2. After that I could not enter any website address and press the enter key and get to the website, nor could I select a website from the dropdown list of previously visited websites. The only way I could get there was by pressing the arrow on the right side of the address box (Reload current page). Once I disabled the AVG extension, everything worked normally. As soon as I enabled the AVG extension, it stopped working again.

Follow these steps for the controls to work:
# Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox
# Find the “Tools” menu at the top of the browser window and select “Add-ons”.
# Click on the “Extensions” icon to make sure you’re in the correct option menu.
# Locate “AVG Safe Search” and click on the containing line to highlight and select the add-on.
# Click the “Disable” button and close the Add-ons window.
# Close down any Firefox windows you may have open.
# That’s It – You’re Done!

Can´t open LR after upgrade to 5.3 without entering a licens key

I have seen comments from someone who indicated that every time they started Lightroom they were prompted for the serial number, even though they had already entered it. Is this your situation? I can't remember what the solution is, but I have seen that problem mentioned in the past.

Treat enter key the same as clicking button without using javascript

I have a page with a search on it. I would like to let the user press the enter key, and have it be the same as if they clicked the search button.
I figure I could do this with javascript, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way.
3.2.
Edited by: tharpa on May 5, 2011 7:33 AM

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,

Buttons and enter key problem

hello,
there are a few projects of enterprise quality which I am developing in java swing. I found out through research that many or rather most people involved with java believe that swing is ready for enterprise class robust desktop applications.
so I as the team leador am starting my new projects in java swing.
I personally find that the amount of java libraries present provide a rich set of functionality and it gives big mussle power to the developers.
I am only concerned about one problem which many of you might have solved.
I find that I have to hit the space bar instead of enter key to fire an action. in languages like vb I can press enter key to fire the click events. specially in menu items I certainly don't expect my clients to press the spacebar. besides there are many people who are so used to the keyboard and enter key in particular that it will be hard or rather next to impossible to change their habbits.
how can I make the menu items work with the enter key. I mean do I need to create the code for keypress events every time I also create an action performed method? or is there a way where I can do it without extra coding.
it is just that I don't want to right extra code for enter key along with click events.
one more important note.
I am a blind person and I use the access bridge technology of java.
so when I am involved in coding, I use the same.
so may be my problem isn't a problem in the first place.
kindly provide me some help
thanks
Krishnakant.

The enter-key works on menu-items in all my applications. It did so since I started with java few years ago.
Maybe some other problem (OS-specific) ?

IP : Delete a value in e cell without entering zero

We have an input ready planning layout created with WAD. In WEB user deletes a value in a cell without entering zero instead. When we refresh data former value appears again. When the user enters zero to the cell we have no problem. When we execute the query with BEX and delete the value in cell without entering zero, there is no problem also. Is there a parameter in WAD to check this?

Hi
If you create a "Delete" function and provide the same on layout it will delete the same from the cube. However, the user need to enter the line # which he/she wants to delete from the layout. Ofcourse, entering zero in the input for Key Figure will help delete the values from cube but if it has any corresponding calculations (say salary or revenue)....it will not get nullified. It is always good idea to provide a standard delete function on the layout.

Why does firefox change fonts when I am trying to download or get help, click and enter keys are disabled why?

I recently did a clean install of windows7 after returning from Europe and installed Mozilla firefox being fed up with microsoft and google .
Fire fox seemed to be working ok but 7 out of 10 downloads were failing, and it seemed that every ebsite entered in the address bar turned into a question.
There was no save shortcut, or paste buttons just a set of to me useless buttons first html, last html, then when I tried to contact help all of a sudden I got a "install fonts" notice and the enter key stopped working,
and any action key was also disabled without advising me.
It appears that either Mozilla or someone doesn't want me using firefox.
I also noticed that the clean disk and other utilities didn't work and that the temp and temp internet folders were empty when I tried to open them but they actually had some 25 megabytes in them when queried as administrator. I also noticed a quick flash reference to Jscript=void,
and my 32 bit computer suddenly started up as a 64 bit Turion.
scan and system clean said machine was clean.
Whats going on here?
I am not on my machine, I can't contact you on it because the enter button has been disabled by font change.
Maybe this robot needs some help too!

Can you undo the system restore?
Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files pr profiles.ini can be affected.
*You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I remove the "enter" key from the keyboard? (New Macbook)

I have the last white macbook, I spilled beer in a couple of keys, I managed to removed them without problems, but I can't find the way to remove the Enter Key, and there is no help on internet Anyone?

What characters are you talking about exactly and why would you want to remove any?
There is really no way to modify Apple's keyboards or add your own in iOS, but there are some apps that may provide a work around.

I have updated to Mozilla 16.0.1 and yahoo toolbar 2.4.8.20120412011105. Search assist now no longer works on the toolbar, nor does the enter key. I've reinstalled both Mozilla and the yahoo toolbar. I've followed the instructions given in the customize toolbar section, but I am thinking that perhaps this toolbar just doesn't work with Mozilla?

Arrow keys and enter key not functioning in Firefox 3.6 when viewing PDF

I'm using Adobe Reader 9.3.0.
I have a web application that displays PDFs (using Adobe Reader) in a browser. The PDF is loaded onto the page inside an IFRAME. In addition to the IFRAME containing a PDF, the page also includes several forms, text fields, etc. For the most part this is working fine. However, I have a glitch when using this in Firefox 3.6. I'm finding that certain keyboard events are being lost and I strongly suspect that they are being swallowed by Adobe Reader. When I place focus on an HTML text field and press enter key or arrow keys, I do not get the appropriate key events. If I run the exact same test without the PDF IFRAME these key events work correctly, but as soon as I load the PDF into the IFRAME they do not. I believe the primary key event that gets lost is the keydown event. I do get the keyup event.
Again, the events work correctly up until I load the PDF onto the page.
I've verified that this error does not occur in Firefox 3.5 and 3.0.
Here is a testcase to reproduce this:

Paste the above into an HTML document. Open the HTML document in Firefox 3.6. Check the four checkboxes. Move into the text field and press arrow keys and enter key to observe the results when it is working correctly. Then click on the "Now Load PDF" link. Press the arrow keys and enter key again and observe that the behavior has changed.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening or how to work around it?

I found a workaround!
By using an object tag instead of an iframe, all the keys seems to work fine and the PDF still renders in the page the same way.
Here's a page that works:

Flex 4 does not dispatch keyboard events for ENTER key.

Hello everyone. I think I have a strange problem with Flex 4 Beta (4.0.0.8909). My application has had event listener for keyUp event for a month now and suddenly (two days ago) I've noticed that keyUp event is not dispatched for ENTER (ALT also) key. Anyone know why? By the way, I've tried this with keyDown event, also 4.0.0.8847 version of SDK - still the same: no keyboard events for ENTER (and ALT) key.
Here is the sample application that has got this issue:
<s:Application
   xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
   minWidth="640" minHeight="480"
   keyUp="application1_keyUpHandler (event)">
   <fx:Script>
      <![CDATA[
         import mx.controls.Alert;
         protected function application1_keyUpHandler (event: KeyboardEvent):void
            Alert.show ("Key up: " + event.keyCode);
      ]]>
   </fx:Script>
   <s:layout>
      <s:BasicLayout/>
   </s:layout>
   <s:TextArea verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" width="200"/>
</s:Application>
If you run this application and try typing anything in a TextArea you will get alerts with key codes. However, if you press ENTER (or ALT), you will get no alert.
I'm pretty sure the code above is right so that means there is a bug in latest nightly builds of SDK (i would swhitch to an older build if i knew which one does not have this bug).
Any ideas?

That's true, but in this case, I think the text editing code is eating ENTER key in order to prevent parents from seeing it and acting on it (like a submit button). We'll see if we can find a way around that.
You can get the ENTER key now by listening in capture phase.

The enter key isn't being disposed of by textedit, the attached example code works without error if you a- remove the alert box and b-set the focus to your text area on initialisation. I agree that pressing the enter key then calling a dialog box will result in the enter key being "gobbled up" as the enter key is overridden by the dialog box code.
I think the first suggestion should be to anyone don't use dialogboxes for testing code. If for some reason debugging isn't desirable instead of a trace statement a simple label can be used as a 'fake' trace.

How can i select the next column instead of next row when press enter key

I need to know how can i select the next column instead of next row when i press the enter key.By default ,when i press enter key the next row is selected and the column remain unchanged but I wants opposite that is the row should remain unchanged but column index will changed.
Thanks to all.

Well, the right arrow key will already move you to the next column, so the easiest way to do this is to modify the InputMap to have the Enter key invoke the same Action as the right arrow key.
You can search the forum for my "Table Actions" (without the space) example that will show you how to do this.

How to go around the enter key

Hi all,
I have the data show on the grid. I modified it and didn't press the enter key, the commit
(save) icon in the navigator bar doesn't high light.
Is there a way to go around that? Make it high light whenever the data change.
Thanks
null

expanding on that same logic, I removed both pauses and now it does run without having to press enter at the beginning or the end. I haven't added the /Y yet, but I don't get a message about overwriting the existing file. For this sample,
it's not important, but I will remember that for down the road. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the feedback. Note also that
"echo off
should read
@echo off
The prompt instruction serves no purpose.

How to create operations without entering a performing work center

How to create operations without entering a performing work center ? which control key should i select ?

Hi
QM01 is control key used for all the task lists of Quality.
there is no such a configuration associated with control key & usage of work center.
Work center is used for the activity capturing perpose & control key is to control operations.
I hope this is clear.
Entering a work center is totally depends on the scenario & not control key.
