Remap the F5 and F6 keys as delete keys?

Because I make typing mistakes frequently, I use the delete key a lot. Whenever I do I crunch my wrist on its right side. I'd like to improve my ergonomics by using the F5 and F6 keys to delete. They're not used for anything else in most applications I use, and they won't cause me to bend my wrist constantly. Is there some way to get under the hood to do that?

You may have considered this option already, but a good macro-creating program (e.g. QuicKeys) can do what you describe (and lots more). The only question is whether it's worth the price ($80 to a new user). But QuicKeys can be used to replace so many hand actions--in many cases including clicks--that it likely will help you in ways besides the one you mention.
As just one example, I made a QuicKeys macro that lets me do the following: Use the mouse to put the insertion point over a word, then (with my other hand) press the tilde-accent mark key (immediately under the "esc" key in the upper-left corner of the keyboard), for which I have no other use. The word that I picked out is instantly selected and deleted--without a single mouse click. As an editor, I use that macro all the time. Other macros can be written to make screens scroll (or jump a page at a time); save files to specified folders or drives; and do many other actions that normally require using the mouse and clicking, dragging, etc.--in each case by simply pressing one or two keys. (The keys in the numeric keypad are good for scrolling or jumping a page at a time, unless you often use them to enter numbers.)

I need an option to remap reprogram or swap the ctrl and function keys on my laptop

Open letter to Lenovo
How many Lenovo laptop users does it take to get a change or option added to remap, reassign, reprogram or swap the two keys on the lower left of the keybards with each other?
The number one question I'm asked (and the first question I asked of a lenovo laptop user) was how long did it take to get used to the function key being in the wrong place on the keyboard? I did a search on the web and found a number of threads that discussed and talked about if it were possible to switch those two keys on the keyboard such as this: http://www.ashbaughonline.com/2006/08/12/thinkpad-fn-ctrl-key/ The point being is there are many lenovo laptop users that would love to have the option at least of swapping the function and ctrl key location on the keyboard and we wouldn't even complain that the key names were wrong afterwards if it were made available in some BIOS or other configuration setting.
Lenovo, how many users would need to ask for this option to make it happen?
Please add me to those who would like to see this happen and to anyone else please reply and chime in.

I have the same problem, and I really can't understand why do they do such things! I even can't get a normal answer from Lenovo about it. I like Thinkpads, they are great designed & they have a lot of unique features, most of them could be customized, exept this! Why??? I can't belive that it's so hard to remap 2 buttons using BIOS! The problem is that the FN key doesn't generate a scan code, which could be recognized by the software, i tried numerous programs to remap the FN button, but it's useless. You can do it only in 2 ways: 1. mechanical - to swap them fisically, but it's hard, dangerous & the warranty will be lost of course. 2. BIOS remapping which can be done only by Lenovo or maybe by somobody, who can hack the BIOS. So, Dear Lenovo Experts PLEASE do this feature for us, we REALLY neeed it! We need it much more than "keyboard customizer", more than "easy eject", more than "media center" becouse we use the left CTRL button every minute, working on your notebook!

HT2638 since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open. i have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard but it does not work. iPhoto still does not open

Since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open. I have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard which is the suggested solution to then open a suggested solution to rebuild the library, but it does not work. iPhoto still does not open. can someone please help?
thank you

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

Problem with the MenuBar and how can i delete a own component out of the storage

Hello,
I opened this thread in the category "Flex Builder 2", but
under this category my questions fit better.
I have a problem with the MenuBar and a question to delete a
component out of storage.
1. We have implemented the MenuBar, which was filled
dynamically with XML data.
Sporadically it will appear following fault, if we "mousover"
the root layer.
RangeError: Error #2006: Der angegebene Index liegt
außerhalb des zulässigen Bereichs.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/
http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::rawChildren_addChildAt()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/addChild()
at mx.managers::PopUpManager$/addPopUp()
at mx.controls::Menu/show()
at mx.controls::MenuBar/::showMenu()
at mx.controls::MenuBar/::mouseOverHandler()
Here a abrid ged version of our XML to create the MenuBar:
<Menuebar>
<menu label="Artikel">
<menu label="Artikel anlegen" data="new_article" />
<menu label="Artikel bearbeiten" data="edit_article" />
<menu label="Verpackung">
<menu label="Verpackung anlegen" data="new_package" />
<menu label="Verpackung bearbeiten" data="edit_package"
/>
</menu>
<menu label="Materialgruppe">
<menu label="Materialgruppe anlegen"
data="new_materialgroup" />
<menu label="Materialgruppe bearbeiten"
data="edit_materialgroup" />
</menu>
</menu>
</Menuebar>
It is a well-formed XML.
2. Delete a component out of storage
We have some own components (basically forms), which will be
created and shown by an construct e.g.
var myComponent : T_Component = new T_Component ;
this.addChild(myComponent)
Some of our forms will be created in an popup. On every call
of the popup, we lost 5 mb or more, all childs on the windows will
be removed by formname.removeAllChild();
What cann we do, that the garbage collector will dispose this
objects.
Is there a way to show all objects with references (NOT
NULL)?
I have read in the Flex Help, that
this.removeChild(myComponent) not delete the form and/or object out
of the storage.
Rather the object must be destroyed.
It is sufficient to call delete(myComponent) about remove
this object out of the storage as the case may be that the
garbage-collector remove this object at any time?
Or how can I destroy a component correctly. What happens with
the widgets on this component e.g. input fields or datagrids?
Are they also being deleted?
Thanks for your help.

If you mena the "photo Library" then you cannot delete it.
This is how iphone handles photos. There are not two copies. There a re simply two places from which to access the same photos. ALL photos synced to iphone can be accessed via Photo Library. Those same pics can be accessed via their individual folder.

How can I use the F14 and F15 key for a shortcut?

Hi folks,
I've been trying to assign custom shortcuts to the F14 and F15 keys of my keyboard (wired, full sized type) on my Mac Pro 2008 running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 however every time I try to assign those keys to an app's "Record a shortcut" function I get the same error dialog from the OS:
The key combination F15 can't be used!
The key combination "F15" can't be used because it's already used by a system-wide keyboard shortcut. (If you really want to use this key combination, most shortcuts can be changed in the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences.)
(note: the same happens with F14, F13 and lower as well as F16+ work fine however)
I have looked into my system settings as the dialog suggests however there isn't a single shortcut that uses F14 or F15 anywhere in any of the shortcut groups.
If any of you have an idea of how I could "clear" or even just find out what these keys are currently being used for/by that would be super… they don't seem to do or trigger anything when I press them.
Here is another screenshot of the issue:
Note: This is not app specific, I've tried this in various apps and every time I get the same Mac OS popup.
Thanks for reading,
I look forward to your ideas and insights!

Hi,
Use the step reference to get a PropertyObject reference using the Step.AsPropertyObject. With this PropertyObject reference you can then get the values of Limits.High and Limits.Low using the PropertyObject.GetValNumber() method.
Limits.High and Limits.Low will be the lookup string for the PropertyObject.GetValNumber() method.
Hope this helps

The L and O keys on my keyboard stopped responding. Now locked out

After the L and O keys ceased responding I decided to restart my computer.
The computer is password protected and one of the elements to my password contains one of those letters.
So I am currently locked out of my computer as the key to enter the password is not responding.
Any help to at least get back in
And any further help in the keys?
I'm many miles away from any store
Thank You

My up and down arrows as well as page up and page down no longer work properly only when using firefox. Page up and down function more like the "home" and "end" keys as do the arrow keys.

Honestly I'm not sure if these began just after I updated FF to the current release, but it's been happening for at least 2 weeks. The arrow keys and page up and page down keys all work as if I'm pressing the 'home' and 'end' keys on my keyboard. This is only when using FF. Please contact me if you need more clarification. Thanks in advance!

How to get the private and public key?

there is my code,i want to get the public key and the private key �Cbut i could not find the the approprite method to solve the problem.

public class PublicExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
if (args.length != 1) {
System.err.println("Usage:java PublicExample <text>");
System.exit(1);
byte[] plainText = args[0].getBytes("UTF8");
System.out.println("\nStart generating RSA key");
KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
keyGen.initialize(512);
KeyPair key = keyGen.generateKeyPair();
System.out.println("Finish generating RSA key");
Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding", "BC");
//System.out.println("\n" + cipher.getProvider().getInfo());
System.out.println("\nStart encryption");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key.getPublic());
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainText);
System.out.println("Finish encryption:");
System.out.println(new String(cipherText, "UTF8"));
System.out.println("\nStart decryption");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key.getPrivate());
/*i want to get the private and public key in this method ,but i found the result was not
the one i expected to get,how to solve the problem?
thanks in advance!
System.out.println("private key:" + key.getPrivate().toString());
System.out.println("public key:" + key.getPublic().toString());
byte[] newPlainText = cipher.doFinal(cipherText);
System.out.println("Finish decryption:");
System.out.println(new String(newPlainText, "UTF8"));
thanks in advance!

System.out.println("private key:" +
" + key.getPrivate().toString());
System.out.println("public key:" +
+ key.getPublic().toString());
key.getPrivate() returns an instance of PrivateKey and key.getPublic() returns an instance of PublicKey. Since PublicKey and PrivateKey are interfaces then they will return one of the concrete implementations. Check out the Javadoc for PublicKey and PrivateKey.
When you know which concreate implemenation you have then you can use the methods on that object (by appropriate casting) to find the information you want.

I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes and the other Apple programs wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system

I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes (and the other Apple programs) wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system? Does someone know of some proprietory block (I think it is related to Quicktime)? Also, once I re-downloaded everything, cleaned everything up, and deleted duplicate files, I closed down my computer. When I re-started it, iTunes was "brand new" -- all of my music, organization, tagging, etc. was gone and had to start over. Idea?

Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

How usnig manuplate the Import and export Key word.

How usnig manuplate the Import and export Key word? and
how do the clear of those variable?

HI ,
For IMPORT Keyword :---
To retrieve data from the global memory area, use the IMPORT statement. The most basic form of the IMPORT statement is:
IMPORT <variable> FROM MEMORY.
To give the variable a different name in your program from what it is called in the global memory area, use the TO clause. You must define the local variable name with a DATA statement in your program. The format is:
IMPORT <global var> TO <program var> FROM MEMORY.
As with the EXPORT statement, you can specify multiple variables per statement, and you have the option of specifying which cluster ID you wish to import from.
After each IMPORT statement, SY-SUBRC is set to indicate whether or not the cluster ID you specified exists (but not whether specific variables were imported specifically). SY-SUBRC is zero if the cluster exists.
It is also possible to IMPORT and EXPORT to database tables .
ABAP memory that is used to store exported data is user and transaction specific, so when passing data between programs in this manner you must make sure that transaction boundaries are not crossed. Otherwise the contents of this memory will get destroyed and will not be available to the importing program.
For Export Keyword :---
The EXPORT statement moves data from your program into a global memory area. The most basic form of the EXPORT statement is:
EXPORT <variable> TO MEMORY.
This places the specified variable into a global memory area that another program can later read using the IMPORT statement.
You may specify multiple fields in the same EXPORT statement. For example:
EXPORT KNA1-KUNNR KNA1-BUKRS TO MEMORY.
You can give variables a different name in the global memory area using the FROM clause. For example, the following code exports SY-SUBRC and gives it the name RETVAL in the global memory area:
EXPORT RETVAL FROM SY-SUBRC TO MEMORY.
You can specify a cluster ID when exporting data to memory. You can freely choose the name of the cluster ID, which can be up to 32 characters long. Each cluster ID specifies a particular area in memory. Each time you EXPORT data to the same cluster ID, all data previously written to that ID is erased. For example:
EXPORT SY-SUBRC TO MEMORY ID u2018LJS1u2019.
Hope u understand
Thanks
