Redo last action

I can't find any way (keyboard shortcut or menu item) of doing this.
I think it's my most commonly used shortcut bar Ctrl-Z when I'm
working in MS Office, where it's Ctrl-Y. Is there an equivalent?
For example, the author of an article wants all names of people in
bold. So I find the first name, highlight it and apply my bold
character style. In Word, I can then highlight the next name and hit
Ctrl-Y to bold it. What do I do in ID CS3?

Thanks to all three of you. Sure, I can assign keyboard shortcuts to
*specific* actions (although using a laptop with no numeric keypad
makes that a little bit more difficult). I was after a shortcut to
repeat the *last* action taken, whatever that might have been. I
gave the example of applying a character style; I could have
mentioned an example from Excel - select a column and adjust its
width. Then select some other columns, hit Ctrl-Y and they all
assume the same width - very useful for, say, financial stuff, where
automatic adjustment of column widths would give visually sloppy
varying widths.
Since none of you have come up with the answer, I have to accept it
doesn't exist. Pity.

  • How can I include in my VI actions like "Undo last action/redo last action"?

    I built a Vi and I want to include functions like Undo (last action) and Redo (last action).
    Any suggestion wellcome.
    Thank you

    Hi
    If you have the Menu Bar visible when your VI runs - this Forms your Default VI run-time Menu. You will discover a built in Undo and Redo Functions under "Edit" Menu. This fuction can be added to your custom Menus or .rtm files.
    However, this undo fuctionality is limited to data change only, which means it will erase the last control change. This Undo will not reverse any data propagated as a result of your last control change. Here is an example.
    Say you are taking a continuously polled value of a String control and building a Path using this, and you have a Button that says "Process Path" which ends the polling and brings you out of the While Loop. In this example if you change the value of String Control and Say Undo you will be reverted to Previo
    us Value. However If after changing the Value you Clicked the "Process Path" Button, you will be Out of your While Loop with the Path being built with the Last value of String Control before "ProcessPath" was clicked. Now Clicking Undo tries to Reverse the Last Control Which was "Process Path" This has no effect on Path Value. The Undo Function will not reverse the Data which has Propagated and take you backwards in the diagram. It will simply reverse the Data Changed on the last Control.
    Therefore if you want a robust "Undo" and "Redo" you will have to program this functionality, Basically you will have to trap values of all controls and on data change remember these values. On Undo you can then Change the values of Controls back to Previous Value and Also take your Diagram back to Where the Last action had impacted any data propagation.
    All this - mind you - is for a single level undo. It will get complex to do Multiple Level Undo.
    Good Luck! Dont you wish, you could Just
    Undo the Computer Age?!!

  • Redo last action not working

    I am new to Pages and am playing with it to see what it can do.  In the course of this I have tried to do an action e.g.: copy and paste some text on the page, and then redo this action again somewhere else in my doc and "Redo" last action is greyed out.  I wondered if this might be because of the type of action I was trying to do, so I tried again, this time applying a Paragraph style to some text one place in the doc and then trying to repeat this later on in the doc.  Still nothing.
    I repeated this process with several different types of actions and each time the "Redo" is greyed out.
    Am I doing something wrong?  I know that there is an alternative in that I can go and do each repeated action manually, but this takes more time when I have a 100+ page document to work on (and have RSI and prefer not to move my arm around too much.)
    Any tips welcome!
    Thanks

    That is not what Redo is.
    Redo undoes Undo. You can only Redo as many times as you have gone Undo.
    To apply styles, create a new style in the Format sidebar, click on the text you wish to apply it to and then on the Named Style in Format. This applies to Paragraph, Character, List and Object Styles.
    You can also Copy Style and Paste Style from under the Format menu.

  • Redo Last Action Plug-in

    Is it possible to make a plug-in that could repeat the last action? For example, user rotates Object1, then selects Object2, run plug-in — and Object2 rotates in the same way.
    I wanted to implement this plug-in via Undo / Redo list of commands but CmdStackItem class is closed for third-parties. So... maybe it is possible by handling all processed command and saving the last one. How do you think?

    You can observe the commands, but the aktual task is not trivial.
    There is no silver bullet to clone a command, you'd have to implement that for about 1591 commands.
    Also expect many surprises such as
    - commands that target multiple items ( that's a UIDList for a purpose ... ).
    - commands that screw up their parameters - see the recent "duplicate swatch" thread
    - commands that schedule or process other commands, across multiple levels
    Btw, for the use case you described, there are already the menu "Object" / "Transform again" actions.

  • Status of Last Action is "Failed"  when StartScriptEnabled is set to true

    Hi,
    I have set StartScriptEnabled to true in nodemanager.properties file and restarted managed server through console. After restart, eventhough the managed server state is "Running", the status of last action is "FAILED". When I stop the server through console, the state is showing as "FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE" although I can start the server after this message.
    Can someone help me why I'm seeing these messages when I set StartScriptEnabled is set to true. If I set this to false, I'm not seeing the "FAILED" messages.
    The only error I see is the below error in nodemanager.log file.

    All the managed servers are running in without any errors. The only error I see is failed in node manager log. I don't see any error or warnings in stdout and stderr logs even if debug is enabled.

  • Solution manager last action time

    Dear Expert,
    I know in crm_dno_monitor have on column show "Change On"-it show the last action for complete the ticket.
    Now my concern is in crm_dno_monitor, is there any posibility to show on last reply time? i mean the consultant last reply solution to customer while the ticket haven close yet.
    As after consultant send solution then might wait for long time until customer close the ticket. So it will longer our resolution time.
    Please advice any solution for that as might enhance on crm_dno_monitor?
    Thanks

    hi,
    1. first you copy the profile and then you add (or copy the action)
    for support message we use SLFN0001 but I guess for AI_SDK_STANDARD this is about the same.
    the developer has developed his own ( method ) implementation of the badi EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF
    filter PPFDFLTVAL with a new filter value Z_SET_LAST_SOLUTION_TIME (something like that in your case)
    if you have 3 fields Just add some coding like
        lv_value-guid             = lv_guid_ref.
        lv_value-ZZCUSTOMER_H0101 = ls_customer_h-ZZCUSTOMER_H0101.
        lv_value-ZZCUSTOMER_H0102 = 'Xxxxxxx'.
       lv_value-ZZCUSTOMER_H0103 =  post time. (ask a programmer to define the write code)
    2. just add the new field(s) as new attribute
    3. I don't understand your question. Your programmer needs more info ? I am not a programmer and I can't help you further, if he knows programming he should know how to implement a new method
    Note : All of this is working if you schedule the action under the right condition via customizing or directly by Calling transaction SPPFCADM and select CRMD_ORDER , select your action profile

  • IDVD working till I installed 2TB ED. Keep getting message"There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie." Any help is appreciated.

    iMovie message "There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie." comes up after trying to create a movie to burn to iDVD. Recently added a 2TB external drive to free up memory from HD. iDVD was working fine till the ED was added. Can't burn DVDs anymore. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    What  folders did you move to the EHD? Any of the basic Home folders?  What format is the EHD?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).  Do you have any files that iDVD uses on the EHS, i.e. project files, media files?

  • Automator in Leopard - Ignore results from last action?

    In the Tiger version of Automator there was an option on each (or most) of the actions you placed in the workflow (in the Automator window) to ignore results from the last action. I can't see how to do this in the Leopard version. How do I do it, or where's the option?

    It's now called "Ignore Input" and is accessed via right-click on the action menubar-- not the most friendly change!
    I wrote up a review of Automator 2 covering this and a few other issues:

  • Undo last action in ibooks

    I just spent the last hour studying an article in iBooks highlighting various parts. Somehow at the very end of the article on my last highlight I went past the last. In the last sentence. It immediately highlighted the entire article. I cannot find any way anywhere to undo my last action. It combined the entire article highlights I had made into one. I just lost my last hour of work. Any ideas?

  • GarageBand file crashes entire application, every time. How can I undo my last action so I can open it and export what I have?

    I have an ENTIRE song that I just finished, thought I would add a drum loop track just to see what it sounded like with my natrual acoustics.
    Apparently that was an awful idea! Adding the track crashed the whole program, and no matter what actions I take I can't get that single file to reopen. I've checked all over the web for possible answers, but no one has ever gotten this particular problem figured out (from what I can find).
    I don't want to overload you guys with all the raw error report data unless you need it, so just let me know if that's something I should bother to post!
    Really, I just want a way to get rid of that one track, or "undo" my last action so that I can reopen the file and salvage the rest of my perfect song.
    Thank you so much for helping out!

    Your crashlog shows an "Bad Access" error.
    Crashed Thread:  0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    That is very typical for corrupted media files. Is the last track you added a real-instrument track and you made an audio recording? Then it might help to remove the last added audio file from your GarageBand project.
    Or do you have a TimeMachine backup, so that you could restore the last version of your project from the backup?
    To remove an audio file from your GarageBand project ctrl-click the "xxxx.band" file of the song and select "Show Package Contents". Inside your package should be a folder called "Media" and it will contain your recordings as ".aiff" files, named like the tracks. Drag the newest ".aiff" to the Desktop and try to launch GB. You will probably get a warning about missing media - ignore it. Canyou launch GB this way?

  • Is there a short cut key/command to repeat the last action?

  • Getting the last action from a managed bean

    Is it possible to get the last action that was submitted from within a backing bean.
    I have an application that has a context specific menu at the top of the page. The context menu is generated using a backing bean which is called from a tiled jsp, called contextmenu.jsp.
    The context menu backing bean needs to know what page it is on so that it can generate the correct menu, so is it possible to get hold of the last action submitted, or the current page from within the backing bean?
    Any help would be much apprecieated.
    Jamie Cash

    Thanks for your help,
    but ...
    We will be developing over 200 jsps and don't want to load the development effort with a backing bean for each jsp.
    The solution that I finally arrived at is using the following code in the menubean to get the view id, and make the decision based on that.
    public NavigationMenuItem[] getContextMenu()
         //Get view id
              String viewId = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewId();
              logger.debug("view id: " + viewId);
              //Menu
              NavigationMenuItem[] contextMenu = null;
              if(viewId.equals("/home.jsp"))
                   .... Code to get context menu from Stateless Session bean     
              //Return menu
              return contextMenu;

  • Repeat Last Action?

    I'm fairly new to FM9 and am wondering if this feature exists already (and I just don't know about it). Coming from MS Word, it has a great "repeat last action" function hooked up to the F4 key. As I've been selecting text in FM and applying a character tag over & over again, I began to wonder if there was a faster way. I used to use the pod to begin with, but now have resorted to just right-clicking to navigate to the character tags. A "repeat last action" would be great in this case.
