Possible to map a QWERTY key stroke to a param?
I am in a process to replace Bidule with Mainstage, and one function I can't figure out how in Mainstage.
I need to be able to type a QWERTY key stroke to toggle CC values (or tapping into plug-in param a la Mainsatage's mapping way). For example, I want to hit a 'h' key to make Delay feedback to 100%. When I hit 'h' key again, it needs to be reset to 20%. This was easy with Bidule but I can't figure out how to do so in Mainstage.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

MainStage doesn't support assignments to the keyboard. You might want to ask Apple for that http://www.apple.com/feedback/mainstage.html

Mapping the "fn" key to a key on an external extended keyboard
Is it possible to map the "fn" key found on Macbooks to a key (such as the RH Control Key) on the current Apple extended keyboard?
I use an extended keyboard with my Macbook Pro and wish to have access to the fn functions like I do on the Macbook's keyboard.
Thanks.Oh my gosh I can't believe it you are right - there it is under F13 staring at me.
I have had so many years of that being the "help" key that I didn't notice it had changed on the new aluminium keyboards.
Thank you for pointing it out. -
Shell extensions and key stroke capturing...
Hello. Me and my team are working on a project which converts English input from a QWERTY keyboard to Unicodes local Indian languages like Kannada, Tamil etc. We're using Java and SWT for UI. The program should run in such a way that once the program is running, wherever the user enters, he should be able to see the unicodes/indian language output. That is, the program should be a shell extension or a it must run in the background and capture the keystrokes of the active window the user is using. We are developing this software for both windows and linux. So is it possible to create shell extensions or implement the background window(process)?
Are there APIs in linux to capture key strokes?? Is it possible to use Win32 WinHooks in windows to capture the key strokes??
Edited by: abhinav_zoso on Jan 8, 2009 11:35 PMAre there APIs in linux to capture key strokes?? Is it possible to use Win32 WinHooks in windows to capture the key strokes??Those are not java questions. Programming forums specific to the OS will provide the answer. Or docs for that matter.
... which converts English input from a QWERTY keyboard to Unicodes local Indian languagesThat by itself doesn't make much sense unless you are talking about language translation rather than characters.
The ASCII code set which would normally represent the entire english character set, is part of unicode. So no conversion needed.
But perhaps you merely wish to map set of keystrokes into other characters? I would strongly suppose that at least windows already supports this in some format so I am not sure why you need java in the mix. Certainly, for example, if you had a computer set up to display another language character set and you want to put a key stroke interceptor in place that should be possible. And if the computer is not set up to display the language then what is the point? -
Restating my issue / question...
When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
Any ideas?
GMcPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
Save for Web keyboard key stroke not worky
I'd swear I've asked or seen this discussed in these forums...but I can find no thread, even when I search for my own screen name. At any rate, I think it also happened to me back in version 6. I'm now in version 8 on a Mac.
The symptoms are the same as the last time this happened. The "shortcut" key strokes (on the Mac) are command + shift + option + S (probably use 'alt' instead of 'option and "control' instead of 'command' on Windows?). This will usually show a brief darkening of the File menu, but nothing else happens. Until...the same keys are pressed again! Of course, mousing to the menu item works fine, but I have managed to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome and still press all four keys with one hand! Sometimes I get my cat to help...
Since Adobe is gracious enough to provide about three dozen various pref files, it should be a breeze to start archiving them and deleting the originals. NOT! However, in my searching for the likely pref file, I have discovered that the "Adobe Save For Web 8.0 Prefs" file seems to be AWOL on my System! I have over a dozen backups of that file in Time Machine, despite the fact that they all show exactly the same Modified date, which would normally be the only reason TM would save another copy of the file. This may also indicate why the settings for the Save For Web dialog never remember the last used settings; the file thinks it is getting written to but never changes its Modified date even thought that 'state' is obviously recognized by the OS. But that's all beside the point and I digress...
SO...does anyone remember the 'trick' for getting PSE 6/8 to remember the Save For Web keystrokes the first time they are used, instead of waiting for 'verification?'
Thanks!Barbara B. wrote:
Uh oh. You should have had an uninstaller in the PSE 8 folder in applications. I'm afraid you may have set yourself up for bigger problems by doing it this way. You may well find that you will eventually need to download and run the CS4 cleanscript to get straightened back out again.
You may be correct, but I've had no other problems after all the different un-install methods. The only pieces that are hard to find are those that Adobe chooses to hide deep in System areas. I suppose since they were one of the first Mac developers, they think they have special capabilities to put stuff any and every where they want. As well as special dispensation to do things anti-Mac ways. I can't claim to be a power-user, but I have never, ever felt the need to purchase/use any special "uninstaller" app. And I can't think of another app I've ever owned that even needed an "uninstaller" for it. That includes Canvas, php, Apache setups, etc. Frankly, and this is simply my opinion and obviously of little importance to absolutely no one else, the way Adobe does things seems to be extremely un-organized, not-well-thought-out and downright non-Mac. The only thing even marginally close to their confusing instal/uninstall process is Stanford's Folding@home set up. It sometimes requires a few Terminal commands...
I will perform a search for that CS4 "clearscript" thing, however. Thanks!
Even the response I got from my Support post assured me that...
reset/restore the Preferences, click Yes or OK . Now try to use the "Save for Web" keyboard command by pressing "Alt+Shift+Crtl+S". I am positive that after following the above steps your issue will be resolved .
OK, I get the rest/restore step. but what does the "alt+shift+Crtl+S" have to do with anything? It certainly is not the keyboard short cut for the Mac version of Elements. Perhaps the chap didn't notice the details in my message or the hardware/software information that came with my request for help. I find it strange that somehow the language differences cause the tech's positive belief that his steps would fix the issue that he also presents:
If the issue is still not resolved then please send us the below mentioned information so that we can provide you with the best possible resolution:-
1. Have you recently made any changes to your computer?
2. Are you logged in as administrator ?
3. Does the issue persist on another system or another user account ?
4. Do you get any error message while pressing the combination of "Alt+Shift+Crtl+S" keys on the keyboard? if yes then send us the screen shot of the error message that you are getting
5. Please provide the exact system Configuration with details along with the Versions.
Every single one of those questions was included with the initial message I sent.
I suspect that the problem is, indeed, in my System, somewhere. I installed Elements on my wife's MBP and it operated normally, even the command+option(alt)+shift+S command. So, when I get some time this week, I'll start up in Safe mode and see if that helps. If not, I'll start removing third-party Pref Panels and apps, a few at a time. If none of that helps, I may try retrieving files from Time Machine. As a last effort, I can always do an Archive and (re)Install of Snow Leopard. I'm just not sure it's worth all the effort to get one measly short cut... The only thing I know for sure is that I will not be seeking any more help from Adobe's "tech support." Why bother, they don't/can't even read the messages their own system sends! -
JSF/ADF - Referencing a Map with Integer keys
I'm generating several ADF input text boxes from a HashMap using Java code in my managed bean. The Map contains Integer keys and String values. Each input text corresponds to a key/value pair.
I'm trying to build a string to bind the text box to the String object, but I'm struggling with the EL syntax for Maps. I know a Map with String keys would look like this:
#{bean.object.map['stringKey']}
But is it possible to specify a non-String key?
Thank you.Hi,
why don't you try it ? My assumption is that yes, it
will work because Integer objects have a toString()
method
FrankI'm building the binding string in my bean, so Integer's value is inserted, resulting in:
#{bean.object.map[1]}
I don't believe the EL supports this for Maps. At least I wasn't able to get it to work. I also tried:
#{bean.object.map['1']}
This suggest a string '1' which isn't right either. My guess is that it isn't possible, but I'm hoping someone can prove me wrong.
From searching the forum I've read that calling processUpdates() might eliminate the need for the ValueBinding step, but I'm not sure. If I called:
component.setValue(myString);
Then processUpdates() on each component after the form submit, would this get the its text back to the bean object? If so, could the code go in the form's save action method?

I am fresh to java programming. I want to keep a track of my kid when he logs into yahoo. i guess he is chatting and exchanging e-mails on yahoo with somebody and everything sounds like dirty talk. he is only 8 yrs old and i want to know what ever he keys in when he logs into yahoo.
Please help me do this, and is it possible to run such a program always so i can get the key stroke log only when my kid logs into the system. or is it possible when anybody opens http://www.mail.yahoo.com url.

HazelYou can't do that with Java. However keystroke loggers and more general parental control software are easily available, already written. I would suggest you get one of those programs.

"Economizing" in a list of maps with identical keys (like a database table)
Hi there!:
I've been checking this forum for information about something like what I state in the title of this message, but haven't found such a specific case. I'm commenting my doubt below.
I'm working with a list of maps whose keys are exactly the same in all them (they're of type String). Indeed it could be considered an extrapolation of a database table: The list contains maps which act as rows, and every map contains keys and values which represent column names and values.
However, this means to repeat the same key values on every map and this spends memory. Right, maybe it's not such a big spent, but since the list can contains thousands of maps, I think that it would be better to choose a more "economical" way to achieve the same result.
I had thought about building a class which stored everything as a list of lists and, internally, it mapped that String keys with the corresponding Integer indexes of every list. But then I realized that maybe I was re-inventing the wheel, because it's very probable that someone has already made that. Maybe is there a class on the Core API which allows that?
Thank you very much for your help.Well, after re-reading the Java tutorial which is located in the Sun website I've came to a conclusion which I should have before, when I thought about using StringBuffers as keys of the maps instead of Strings.
I'm so used to build Strings using literals instead of the "new String ()" constructor (just as everyone) that I had forgotten that, as it happens with any kind of object but not the primary data types, Strings are not passed to the methods by value, but by reference. The fact of them being immutable made me think that they were passed by value.
Apart of that, my problem also was that using literals I was creating different String objects every time, despite the fact that they were equal about their content (making 400 different keys called "name" for example)
In other words, I was doing something like this:
// It makes a list of maps which will contain maps of boy's personal data (as if they were "rows" in a table).
List <Map <String, Object>> listData = new ArrayList <Map <String, Object>> (listBoy.size ());
// It loops over a list of Boy objects, obtained using EJB.
for (Boy boy : listBoy) {
// It makes a new map containing only the information which I'm interested on from the Boy object.
Map <String, Object> map = new HashMap <String, Object> (2);
map.put ("name", boy.getName ());
map.put ("surname", boy.getSurname ());
// It adds the map to the list of data.
listData.add (map);
}Well, the "problem" here (being too demanding, but I'm :P ) is that I was adding all the time new Strings objects as keys in every map. The key "name" in the first map was different from "name" in the second one and so on.
I guess that my knowledge got messed at certain point and thought that it was impossible to use exactly the same String object in different maps (the reference, not the same value!). Thus, my idea of using StringBuffers instead.
But thinking about it carefully, Why not to do this?:
List <Map <String, Object>> listData = new ArrayList <Map <String, Object>> (listBoy.size ());
// It makes the necessary String keys previously, instead of using literals on every loop later.
String name = "name";
String surname = "surname";
for (Boy boy : listBoy) {
// It uses references (pointers) to the same String keys, instead of new ones every time.
Map <String, Object> map = new HashMap <String, Object> (2);
map.put (name, boy.getName ());
map.put (surname, boy.getSurname ());
listData.add (map);
}Unfortunately, the "hasCode" method on String is overloaded and instead of returning the typical hash code based on the single ID of the object in memory, it returns one based on its content. That way I can't make sure that the "name" key in one map refers to the same object in memory than another one. I know, I know. The common sense and the Java documentation confirm that, but had loved having an empiric way to demonstrate it.
I guess that using "javap" and disassembling the generated bytecode is the only way to make sure that it's that way.
I believe that it's solved now :) (if no one tells me the contrary). I still am mad at myself for thinking that Strings were passed by value. Thinking about it now it had no sense!
dannyyates: It's curious because re-reading every answer I think that you maybe were pointing to this solution already. But the sentence "you put the +same+ string" was a little ambiguous for me and thought that you meant putting the same String as "putting the same text" (which I already was doing), not the same object reference (in other words, using a common variable). I wish we could have continued discussing that in depth. Thanks a lot for your help anyway :) . -
Is it possible to create many primary key for a table?
hello sir/mam.
i am selva, i am new to abap,
is it possible to create many primary key for a table?
please guide me.Hi Selva,
Many Primary Keys = Composite Key.
i.e some set of columns will enable you to identify a unique row from a set of rows in the table.
This can be achieved by checking the primary key check box in se11.
Hope it helps.

Is it possible for Apple to add "key" to the view options selection?
DJ1970, Unfortunately no. iTunes does not have the key in the database.
People who want to know the key of a song can use (unless they already have perfect pitch!) key detection software such as Mixmeister.
Once you know the key, iTunes does not even have a field to store it, although you could stick it into Comments or some other unused text field such as Grouping. These fields are indeed viewable in iTunes. -
