Repeat command or action like the F4 command in Excel

In Excel there is a way to repeat the same command previously performed by pressing the F4 key. This makes thing like adding a new rows or columns and changing characteristics much easier. Is this option available in Numbers 2009? I have not been able to find it in Numbers 2008. It seems like a very easy option to have because the command is stored in memory in order to be able to undo and redo the command.
My apologies for referencing such an inferior product class as Microsoft when discussing Apple programs but Excel is probably Microsoft's best program, has been around for a while, and Numbers is still a baby. Although, Numbers is much more idealistic in many respects which is great, especially considering its age.
I want to find out if this issue has been addressed before I send feedback to Apple.
ThankU Much,
DarrellSY

If it's important, make a feature request.
In Numbers, go to the Numbers menu, choose Provide Numbers Feedback. Submit your request. If enough users make the request to catch the development team's attention, you may see the feature (or something similar) added (but not before the next full edition).

  • Make "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior)...

    Please make Photoshop's "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior). So that when using the "step backward" to undo something it doesn't unnecessarily select a different layer . The current "step backward" layer change issue is inconvenient because it causes unnexpected layer selection change.

    Has this happened yet ( an upgrade that fixes the step back layer switch problem ) in any updates?
    Arghhh very annoying.

  • Utility like the diff command in UNIX?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knows of any tool/utility that can show me the difference (data) between 2 similar (structurally) tables. Or any tool that can at least simulate it.

  • Looks like the Locate command causes iTunes v11.1 to hang

    I was using iTunes at a party last night when I noticed that issuing Command+L causes iTunes to hang when it is playing a song in one playlist and I'm viewing another playlist.  Anyone else see this?

    Yup. Also discussed here and here.

  • Why -Command behaves differently for the same command ?

    I have a script called a.ps1 containing
    exit 38
    We can run this script in the following three ways and we will get three
    different results. Can somebody explain what is going on? Why this behaviour?
    References to good sources of information would be greatly apreciated.
    PS> powershell -File .\a.ps1; $LastExitCode
    38
    PS> powershell -command { .\a.ps1 }; $LastExitCode

    Hi Quilx,
    I'm so sorry for missing your points, However, these information may be helpful for you:
    The folowing is an example:
    param($code=99)
    exit $code
    Save this in a.ps1 script file. Launch a cmd.exe and run your script
    Powershell.exe –noprofile –file “pathtoscript.ps1” 1234
    Echo %ERRORLEVEL%
    This returns 1234 (or whatever code you submitted to your script when you called it). The reason why so many people have trouble with returning exit codes is that they miss the –file parameter:
    Without –file, powershell.exe returns either 0 or 1. That’s because now your code is interpreted as a command, and when the command returns an exit code other than 0, PowerShell assumes it failed. It then returns its own exit code, which is always 0 (command
    ran fine) or 1 (command failed).
    Reference from:

  • I am missing Speakable Items in the Speech commands window

    Hi there,
    I just realized that I can't command any speakable actions, I have NO commands in place in the speech commands window, and my -/user/library/speech/speakable items folder is empty.
    I am administrator and single user of my Mac
    I have no idea why it is empty, i suppose it has been like this from the day I have installed OSX, years ago now.
    I have tried to install OSX from scratch on a separate partition, and of course, with this new system, the commands are in the proper place and the speech commands works.
    However, when I re-import my profile with the SetUp assistant from the original partition, all the commands are lost, since the Speakable items folder is under my personnal home directory, it has just been copied, and left empty by the assistant with all my profile.
    Can anyone help me and tell me which items i should copy from/to where to have the speech commands working ????

    Same here.
    I copied the Speakable Items folder from my old computer, but it still won't work.
    I hope you get an answer!
    ANSWER! - I had the same problem. Open up your Speech and turn off speakable. Than go to commands select address book click on configure if there is any Name that has (NUL) uncheck it. than go and turn on speakable again. Your commands should be there!
    It worked for me! Good Luck!

  • A severe error occurred on the current command - select into

    Hi
    I am making a backup of a table before working on the original, but when I try a simple select into statement I receive 'Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 - A Severe error occurred on the current command.  The results, if any, should be discarded.'
    I am able to run a select query on the original table with the same where clause I am using in the select into statement and it runs without error.  
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Server 2008 64bit, SQL Server 2008r2
    Thank you for any help

    This is a generic message that informs you that something went very wrong, either in SQL Server itself or in the client API.
    If open a command promptt and try the same command running from SQLCMD or OSQL, what happens? If things seems to work well, run a simple second command like "SELECT 1" to make sure that this works. (The use a different API from SSMS, why it is
    worth testing.)
    Also look in the SQL Server error log. If you see a stack dump which appeared at the same time as you ran the SELECT INTO statement, then it's clear that the accident was in SQL Server.
    I would recommend that you run DBCC CHECKDB on the database, as the root cause could be corruption.

  • Questions regarding using the .monitor command to retur a animated image and we would like feedback to a designed webpage that is monitoring a 5kW windturbine:)

    I'm embedding a front panel image in an existing HTML dokument. I would like to use the command .monitor in the URL together with the refresh command so the VI automatic will reload every 20 secund. This actual work, but simultaneous I want to have the possibility to refresh manually so I don't have to wait 20 sec before new values is shown in the display. Is this possible to do?
    Another question: Since the real time display updates 1-2 times a secund the command .monitor is used to get a animated picture of the Real Time Display.
    There are several ways to add animation on to web pages. The techniques used h
    ere are the �server push� and �client pull�which makes the browser repeatedly reloads a changing inline image to provide crude animated sequences. This is not the most efficient way as this result�s in an image being re-transmitted for each frame of the animation. The command .monitor with the attribute refresh and lifespan in the URL trigger this �server push� and �client pull� techniques.
    I use this automatic refresh uploading of the display so that it each time shows different values, is this called crude animation?Then I'm wondering what I'm suppose to use the command lifespan to?I can't see the use of it in my display.....?
    link to the webpage so you can have a look at the display:
    http://134.7.139.176/.monitor?Real%20Time%20Performance.vi&refresh=20
    This is a project that I'm working together with another Norwegian friend. WE are very happy for feedback on our web page and displays go to: http://www.ece.curtin.edu.au/~peersena/ if you would like to view itThanks

    Annis,
    One of the other things to keep in mind is that the generation of an image does take some computing power so having the generation and the acquistion on the same machine is not always ideal. If you're using the machine that is publishing the front panel just to collect data it's not so much of an issue.
    If you really want to monitor in "Real-Time" using Remote Panels (requies LabVIEW 6.1) is your best option. This posting has more information on using Remote Panels and links to some live examples:
    http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000C0660000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_0=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=web+control&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0
    Remote panels makes it possible to control the application remotely as well.
    With .monitor the only way I've been able to manually refresh is to "Shift+Refresh" on the browser.

  • Why am I getting messages such as "The command "Image Size" is not currently available" when trying to run an Action that has always worked in the past and when the particular Commands do work if used by themselves?

    Why am I getting messages such as "The command Image Size is not currently available whenever I try to run an Action that uses the particular command (and which has always worked fine previously) and when the particular command works fine when used on its own?

    I would think that image size would always be available when there is an active document in Photoshop.  The only time I remember seeing messages like that where they should work was during the five month period when Adobe released CS6 with so many bugs which took Adobe five months to fix.  During those five month messages like that that should not have happen were common when action switch between documents.  Adobe would start processing the next Action step before the document switch completed, Any step that required an active document could fail with a mess stating the command is not available.
    Are you by some chance using CS6 version 13.0 CS6 without any updates.  Use Photoshop menu Help>About Photoshop.  If it shows CS6 version 13.0 you need to update CS6. .

    Glad it helped. Everyone has been bitten by this at one time or another. Fortunately you only get bit once
    Well if you haven't already read it two or three times the User manual is really very good. Apple really did a nice job with it. The on-line version is nice because it is searchable.
    After that the Apple Pro Training Series book Aperture 3 is very useful. Its basically split into three parts. The library, adjustments and sharing. In addition if you get all the way through it you can take the Certification test and become, well certified.
    Rwboyer who posts here on and off has a good site and a couple of ebooks that I found useful.
    good luck

  • Delaying the command link action till user presses Yes/No in dialog

    Hi ,
    On a command link in an af:table i am trying to display and Yes/No Dialog box. On clicking the link, the action binded with the link gets executed first and then the dialog gets initialized. Can we some how deffer the link execution till the user presses Yes/NO?
    following is the code
    =======================================================================
    <af:column id="c13" headerText="Lock">
    <af:commandLink
    text="lockUser"
    disabled="#{!bindings.lockUser.enabled}"
    id="cl1"
    action="#{searchBean.lockUser}"
    partialSubmit="true"
    partialTriggers="cl1" >
    <af:showPopupBehavior popupId="::p1"
    triggerType="click"/>
    </af:commandLink>
    </af:column>
    =======================================================================
    <af:popup id="p1" partialTriggers="p1">
    <af:dialog id="d2" dialogListener="#{searchBean.dialogListener}"
    partialTriggers="d2" title="xcx" type="okCancel"/>
    </af:popup>
    =======================================================================
    public String lockUser() {
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("lockUser");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    System.out.println("***111");
    if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
    return null;
    searchUser();
    return null;
    =======================================================================
    public void dialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent)
    String ss="HHH";
    System.out.println(ss);
    if (dialogEvent.getOutcome().equals(DialogEvent.Outcome.ok))
    lockUser();
    System.out.println("SAVE your work here");
    }else
    System.out.println("Do Not Do Any Thing");
    =======================================================================

    This should be possible, if you remove the action from the af:commandLink and execute the action in the dialoglistener
        public void dialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent)
            Outcome lOutcome = dialogEvent.getOutcome();
            if (lOutcome.equals(Outcome.ok))
                // do the navigation
                ControllerContext ccontext = ControllerContext.getInstance();
                //set the viewId – the name of the view activity to
                //go to - to display
                String viewId = "Emp";
                ccontext.getCurrentViewPort().setViewId(viewId);
                // or execute a method....
        }Timo

  • How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?  When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

  • Hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command+Z, It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

    hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command＋Z， It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

    what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke.  Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that.  Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what  I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
    which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

  • Why getting "Run-time error 2046 the command or action 'GoToRecord' isn't available now"

    Hello,
    I'm running this on Form Load:
    Private Sub Form_Load()DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
    End Sub
    when I'm in the office connected to the LAN, the database opens without any error but when
    I'm working remote through a VPN, I get this error:
    Run-time error 2046 the command or action 'GoToRecord' isn't available now.
    I'm wondering if this is related to a speed issue and more importantly, how to fix it?
    Thanks,

    Make absolutely sure the query behind the form is updateable and the form allows edits
    Use the following code with the forms On Open event:
    DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
    See if that helps. Have no clue why it would work in one environment but not another.
