Regain keyboard focus from extension panel!

Illustrator. Mac OS. If ANYBODY know any sort of HACK or workaround for this, please share. A workaround NEEDS to be made public so other poor souls like myself don't have to bang their heads quite as hard. Once I have this figured out I will write a lengthy post describing the trials and tribulations of a fresh extension developer to entertain you all. Lets talk about the wonderful speed of Actionscript, or the simple act of installing FB 4.7 and trying to get EB2 to work. Good times from the first minute on... but first, the last hurdle (well, before moving on to C++ plugin developement).
Thanks in advance.

Bleh,
Found loseFocus() in CSExtension class. Frees up a couple keys, but not key combinations like undo.
Settled on programming the common key commands into the pallet. Of course listeners work for every key combination except ones which use the COMMAND key.
Thought about closing the panel when user hits command key and then setting a listener to reopen it when key is released. But as soon it is reopened, focus is lost again.
Now what? Make an invisible extension that controls the panel? Don't know if that would fix and sounds like alot of work.
What a damn PAIN IN THE BUTT!!! THIS BETTER BE FIXED IN CC VERSION OF ILLUSTRATOR!!!

Return focus from html panel?

Hey everyone,
can you please tell me if there's a way to return focus from the html panel back to Photoshop? I've tried app.activate() but no luck
Many thanks!

Hi,
let's take this
sample.
On the main file: html_panel_sample.html go and change the
first panel to support java script code adding the preventScript
option on false: var mine = new Spry.Widget.HTMLPanel("me",
{preventScripts:false});
On the file that is loaded, frag-0.html make a link to load a
new panel like this:
<a href="#"
onclick="mine.loadContent('frag-1.html');return false;">load
frag-1.html file</a>
Please let us know if you have other questions,

Regaining keyboard focus

Hello
I am having a problem with my application. When it is first started it asks for a key press. Or instead you can select something from a JComboBox. If you press a key, it works fine and everything happens as it's supposed to happen. If however, you select something from the JComboBox, something strange occurs and you can no longer press keys as you could just a minute ago. I believe this is because the JComboBox gets the keyboard focus when you use it. This causes the JFrame to lose it's key listening capabilities. How can I solve this problem?

Store data on local disk from extension panel

Hi,
I'm trying to write an extension to InDesign and I use the following code to store a simple string in the encrypted data store that is available in Air:
      var hostnameBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
      hostnameBytes.writeUTF("http://www.google.com");
      EncryptedLocalStore.setItem("hostname", hostnameBytes);
Then, I use the following code to retrieve the data from storage:
    storedValue = EncryptedLocalStore.getItem("hostname");
    if (storedValue != null)
          serverName = storedValue.readUTFBytes(storedValue.length);
However, the above does not work within the context of the extension. Do we have access to the encrypted data store in the extensions? Is there anything else that I need to do to get this to work?
Thanks,
Bulent

Hi Jey,
Thanks for your prompt replay.
Unfortunately, Iu2019ve tried both your suggestions without success. Smartforms behaves just like in case of GUI_DOWNLOAD. There is no file saved on disk.
Do you have any other idea?

Safari keyboard focus after a search

I like using the keyboard as often as I can. With Chrome, I can hit the Tab key after searching from the search/URL bar. This moves the keyboard focus to the web page, which causes an arrow to appear in front of the first search result. With up/down keys and Enter, you can then go to any of the search results.
What is the proper hotkey in Safari to move the keyboard focus from the search bar to the webpage?
(Using Safari 7 on OS X)

I think I found out why this didn't work -- in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, I've got the "Full Keyboard Access" option set to "All Controls"...

Illustrator CS6 loses keyboard focus when using an extension panel

OS10.8.2 CS6. When clicking a button on any extension panel (even supplied Kuler), it seems that Illustrator can't get keyboard focus until something else on the screen is clicked. Anyone know a way to fix this? I need to be able to use the keyboard to copy or delete a selected object right after running script....

Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

Path to the extension panel's directory from ExtendScript .jsx

Hi!
Is there a way to get the path to extension panel's folder from the external (or embedded) .jsx script?
Both $.fileName and "catch( err ) { where = File(err.fileName); }" return the path to "Adobe Photoshop CS5".
Thank you!

I read the original post wrong.
This is the function I use for InDesign scripts:
getScriptsFolder = function() {
    try {
        var script = app.activeScript;
        return new Folder( script.parent.parent );
    } catch(e) {
        // we are running from the ESTK
        var script = File(e.fileName);
        var a = script.absoluteURI.split( "/" );
        var a1 = [];
        for ( var i = 0; i < a.length; i++ ) {
            a1.push( a[ i ] );
            if ( a[ i ] == "Scripts" ) {
                a1.push( a[ i + 1 ] );
                break;
        return new Folder( a1.join( "/" ) );
Running as a script in ID, it'll just return the scripts folder. But, if that line errors, ES error objects contain a reference to the script File.
I don't know if this will work in the context of a CS Extension panel or not, but it's certainly worth a try.

Panel problem: Lost keyboard focus in Photoshop on Mac OSX

Some background: I making a plugin that consists of some photoshop scripts and a panel created in Adobe Configurator. Basically the panel has some buttons which executes some functions in the script. The plugin is described in greater detail and can be downloaded here http://lumens.se/tychpanel
The problem: To reproduce the problem, do the following:
Give the panel focus by clicking somewhere on it.
Switch to another application, then back to Photoshop. Keyboard focus is lost.
Any ideas why this happens, and what to do about it?
Note: this is somewhat of a cross-post started at http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4021&sid=d3c3d77dd128984f8ee30252f0f4cf2a however, as I think it's more of a Configurator / Panel issue rather than a scripting issue I'm now asking here as well.

many and different problems around photoshop keyboard,
also when a panel is not involved, as you can see here
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3437082
Have you updated to the latest osx version?
if not try 10.6.7 that could solve some problem with the keyboard
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2011/03/mac-10-6-7-fixes-photoshop-cs5-conflicts.html
other suggestions could be :
- duplicate the default photoshop keyboard and create a new workspace
or
- try creating a new user account and test there

Open file dialogue hangs with extension panels

Hi. I have PS CS5 64 bit running on a PC, Win 7.
Everything has been working fine but I have recently installed two new extension panels - Fundy Image Brander and Tych Panel. When either of these scripts require you to input a file to open via the Open File dialogue box, everything hangs for 2-3 minutes. The mouse and keyboard do not lock and you can open up other windows which work fine. The open file dialogue just hangs (not just on selecting an individual image but selecting a drive or folder). If you call up the Task Manager and End Photoshop as a task a dialogue box pops up with the mesage "The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you."
Photoshop otherwise works well. It's just when the extension panel requires you to input a file to open. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas?

Hi. Both are extension panels. Fundy Image Brander is a paid for extension (http://www.fundysoftware.com/image-brander/) and the other a free extension (http://lumens.se/tychpanel/).
I have seven extension panels running and these are the only two that require the user to set file input locations.
Photoshop otherwise works just fine and I have no problems opening files. Other Windows programs also run without any problems. It's just these two that hang when the select or open file dialogue appears.
And no I haven't contacted the producers.

Something is stealing focus from my active window

Hi,
Something frequently steals focus from my Mail, Keynote and other active windows. I'm having trouble figuring out what it is as the focus doesn't 'go' anywhere. It's quite annoying as I frequently get the error-ding, and have to go to the mouse to return focus to the window I was working in.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Below please find the system informaiton.

Hello,
I have the same problem (probably because we work for the same company )
The problem is with Symantec Endpoint Protection. I ran a script and found out that's causing the problem. I don't have a fix yet though unfortunately.

Why does the keyboard focus keep switching to the menu bar?

Does anyone else have the problem of Photoshop CS6 constantly setting the keyboard focus to the menu bar? This makes it difficult to use shortcuts.
Typical examples: I want to switch to the Move tool, so I press V, but instead, the View menu drops down. Or I press T for the Type tool, but instead, the Filter menu drops down. This happens often and it's very annoying.
This also happens in Premiere Pro CS6, and happens on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines. Doesn't happen in other applications, and is not related to actually using a menu, i.e. if I choose something from a menu, then press V, Photoshop will often work correctly and activate the Move tool. This behavior seems to happen randomly.

Alt doesn't really "unhide" the menu bar (speaking of Photoshop), but it's always been the introducer of keyboard operations for "keyboard accessbility" - i.e., operation of Windows applications without mouse.
Alt causes little underlines to show up under the key characters of menu items, and prepares the system for the next character being typed to open a menu - so for example you press something like 'e' and the Edit menu pulls down. Now you use an arrow key to move to the next item, or maybe a single character that's associated with one of the menu entries.
Photoshop's goals for using modifier keys kind of conflict with this. They've apparently tried to reach a balance where using the Alt key to modify some operation cancels the introduction of the next menu item.
But I don't think it's possible to be perfect at that, especially for example if the user presses Alt, decides not to do the operation he was thinking about doing (e.g., zooming out), then just releases the key. Another factor might be the habits people get into for choosing tools.
As a contrast, one person might not press the Alt key until they're sure they're going to do something with it (e.g., zoom out), and that same person might only choose tools from the Tools panel by clicking on them. Another person might press the Alt key sometimes, but then stop before doing the operation it modifies. That same person might be in the habit of choosing tools by their letter (e.g., E for eraser). It's clear to see how the first person might never get into a condition where the menu introducer key (Alt) leaves them in a state where a menu opens inadvertently, while the latter might see it regularly.
As far as why Photoshop might get into a mode where the menu introduction occurs when you HAVEN'T pressed the Alt key, I don't know; I certainly haven't seen that reported much if at all here on the forum.

Bug Report: The keyboard focus doesn't automatical...

Bug Report: When a conversation window opens, the focus doesn't automatically land in the chat entry text field.
Since the new interface for Skype was introduced officially in Skype 7.0, there is a bug with the system/keyboard focus for a new conversation window. When Skype is in "Split Window View" and each new conversation automatically pops up in a separate window, the system/keyboard focus doesn't land in the chat entry edit field. Instead, the user has to press Shift+TAB a couple of times, to move it there and reply to the chat message received. This especially problematic for screen reader users, who rely on keyboard navigation. This mainly occurs when a new conversation is started with an incoming message, but it sometimes occurs when moving the focus out of that conversation window and later back in it again (while it is still opened).
Steps to reproduce it:
1. From "View" menu, activate the "Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
2. From Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM settings, enable "Open a new window when I receive a new message in Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
3. From Tools -> Options -> Advanced, activate "Enable accessible mode", if it is not already enabled.
4. Activate the "Save" button, to save the changes.
5. Close all windows, related to Skype. You may keep only the main window opened.
6. Tell someone to send you a chat message. When the message arrives, Move the system focus to the conversation window in question, preferably with Alt+TAB. The system/keyboard will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should by default, but in some unknown place in the window.
7. Move the system/keyboard focus in the chat entry edit field and keep it there.
8. Switch to another window, preferably from another application.
9. With Alt+TAB, switch back to the window of the opened Skype conversation. There is a chance that the system/keyboard focus will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should do by default, but again in some unknown place in the conversation window. But that is harder to reproduce.
Test environment:
- Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in Bulgarian with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian".
- Skype version: 7.0.0.102 for Desktop.

This is a known problem, but Skype have not given us an estimated time for a fix.
Traditionally, Skype updates have been roughly monthly, so we are due a new version sometime soon. Many of us here are hoping that is has a bunch of fixes for the UI, the focus problem being one of them.

My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus." As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

WARNINGS in Console include:
[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] is deprecated in MacOSX 19.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction] instead.
There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues?
I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

Extensions Panel greyed out in Photoshop CC on a Mac. Can't open Mini Bridge

I've just (yesterday) joined the Adobe Cloud, with full access to all the Adobe programs.
Opening Photoshop, I also wanted Mini Bridge open but the 'Extensions' item on the 'Window' menu is greyed out and can't be selected.
I've tried opening Bridge first, the Photoshop and vice versa, either way, the problem is the same. I've checked the Photoshop Preferences under 'Plug Ins' and made sure 'Load Extensions Panel' was ticked (which it was originally)
So, basically, no matter what I try, the Extensions Panel seems to remain greyed out.
Can any of you good people come up with the reason why this is happening and how I can solve i please?
Many thanks in advance

My main plug-in (resize 8) is not yet compatible, and so PS thinks there are no extensions, hence it's greyed out. but it took several days of troubleshooting to find this out.
If your resize 8 plug-in is from onOne then you need to install version 8.5.1 for the plug-ins to be available through extensions. Even before the 8.5.1 update to the suite the resize 8 plug-in was available via the File->Automate... menu item after a re-install of the suite so it detected CC 2014.

Regain keyboard focus from extension panel!
