Selecting non-consecutive text in Safari text boxes?

I've been trying to find a way to highlight/select different ranges of text in Safari without luck; I know that selecting consecutive text can be done by holding down "shift", but is there any way to do it with non-consecutive text? TextEdit is able to do this -- I can select a word in one paragraph, hold down the "command" key, and then separately highlight a word or sentence in another paragraph.

  • Select non-consecutive text

    How do I select non-consecutive text in V5.1? I have a new macbook air and am new to apple. This is such a simple thing, surely there is a way.

    Yeah!
    Some people seem to just bulldoggedly want to head deeper into the swamp.
    I was just at the local PC User Group yesterday, listening to their tales of woe.
    I carefully and clearly explained why they had their problems, then the few simple steps to avoid them, but they think they HAVE to use IE, they HAVE to do all the complicated and silly things that PC users do.
    Down to buying an expensive replacement battery for an ancient laptop, with faulty keys, that was worth less than the battery.
    Everything else doesn't even register. I can see how these PC service centres manage to suck all that money from the poor schmucks.

  • How do I select non consecutive columns

    I have been working in numbers and Excel and need to select some non-consecutive rows or columns and just can't figure out how to do it. I know how in Windows. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Maggie

    After the initial selection, command-click on each additional row or column.

  • Select non-consecutive files using keyboard

    Hi - I am trying to select several files in Finder using keyboard only. Sort of thing you would do with the CTRL key in Windows. I want to select several songs to open in my iTunes, but not all of them. And the songs are not listed one after another. I don't want to use the mousepad as it tends to open one of the selected file if I press the mousepad a tad too long. I just want to quickly scroll with arrow keys and mark the ones I want to select with another key. How can this not be possible on OS X?

    Thanks, it's just not helpful. Sometimes you happen to accidentally double-click, epsecially when you are selecting a large number of files. The problem here was that I was trying to select songs from my folder to open in iTunes so that I would transfer them to my iPhone afterwards in one go. The moment I would accidentally double-click wth the trackpad, the entire selection that I had made would open in iTunes and start playing, which meant that I would have to switch to iTunes and press pause. I did not want to put the computer on silence because I had some other music playing on YouTube at the same time. Overall, it's a disturbance. If someone at Apple were smarter, they would have allowed for a simle selection of non-consecutive files by keyboard, as Windows does it. Scrolling and selecting with the trackpad is not very convenient in this case, because you have to use the trackpad and the keyboard (CMD) at the same time. In a situation like this, a user should be able to perform this operation with keyboard only, simply because it is more convenient that way. If Windows with its operating system has been allowing to do this for ages, Apple with its ambition to be smarter and easier than PC should have been able to tackle this problem long time ago.

  • Select non-consecutive days in Calendar input

    Hi Experts,
    I designed a form in WD and have a requirement, where I need to show up a calendar display of months in which an user should be allowed to select only non-consecutive days from it.
    Also I need to get all those selected days at run-time.
    Is it possible?? I know that calendar is a standard input of date UI element and totally confused as how I can restrict an user to select only non-consecutive days.
    Please clarify and help me in this.
    BR,
    RAM.

    Hi RAM,
    Unfortunately, with the date navigator ui element, we cannot select multiple dates except the date ranges.
    Work around solution:
    I suggest you to go for row repeater, in which you can place date navigator ui element and user can add multiple rows: also you he can input dates by selecting single dates.
    Here you can also restrict the user to select only non-consecutive dates.
    Pls refer the wiki for an example:
    steps to create row repeater ui element - Web Dynpro ABAP - SCN Wiki
    Try to convince the user with this or you can also for a table with single row.
    Hope this helps you.
    Regards,
    Rama

  • How to extract non-consecutive pages

    I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.0.0 Viewing thumbnails and attempting to select non-consecutive pages then extract the selected pages to a new pdf file.  when I select non-consecutive pages and select Extract it automatically high lights all pages between the first selected and last selected.  The form presented for extracting seems only to list pages between two numbers not non-consecutive.  I want only those selected i.e. page 3,8,16,24.  Can you please help me?

    Great idea!
    Does this work with the latest version of Adobe?

  • Is there a way to choose non-consecutive cells when performing Instant Calculations?

    I know how to do an equation to add things up. I've discovered the convenience of the Instant Calculations feature where I select consecutive cells with values, then drag drop the resulting equation from the Sum in the lower left corner of my spreadheet. That works fine if I chose cells consecutively in a column,row, or select by dragging over an area. I haven't found a way to select non-consecutive cells to create a sum, with Instant Calculations, however.

    hold down the <command> key while clicking non-contiguous cells

  • Selecting non-contiguous text in Safari

    I cannot find a way to select non-contiguous text in Safari.
    Select>Command>select does not work (as it does in Text Edit.
    I am very surprised that I can't locate any information on this via google, yahoo, etc.
    The only item I did find is something called "Safari Magic" but it looks pretty old and costs $19.
    So here I am hoping to get "truth" from the source (or any kind person).
    I'm in Snow Leopard; Safari 5.1.5.
    Thanks.

    Carolyn
    Thanks. I hadn't explored Safari's Extensions (only Firefox's). Your was a good suggestion. Alas - and to my absolute consternation - nothing for selecting non-contiguous text.
    mcbuffy
    Thanks. And as I alluded to Carolyn...this is really odd and frustrating. Not just that this functionality does not exist in an Apple application while it does in other Apple apps, but also that there does not appear to be any Extensions directed at this function.
    Can I be the only person in the world who selects and copies random or non-contiguous text from web sites?

  • Exporting Text from multiple text boxes?

    I'm using InDesign CS3 on the Macintosh. I need to export text from multiple text boxes/stories into one text file. The Export File command only exports text when the text tool is selected and the cursor is in the text box. Unfortunately, I have 8-20 individual text boxes per page, none are linked, and my document is 100+ pages, so selecting each text box individually is much too time consuming. There must be a better way - Please help!
    Thanks!
    Carolyn

    The text exporter plug-in seems to work! I did a quick test - text still will need some clean-up to make sure it's in the correct order, but MUCH better than exporting each story individually. THANKS!

  • Shortcut for selecting non-default button in dialog boxes

    I seem to remember that there was a keyboard shortcut many OSs ago. I can't seem to find it or replicate it. Particularly, I would like to choose the non-default button in a dialog box in Acrobat Pro for productivity's sake.
    Thanks, Jon

    Hi Jon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    No way to tell if Adobe follows the standard, but TAB generally moves through the Dialog buttons & Space Bar selects that choice where Enter/Return chooses the default blue button. Sometimes the CMD key + the first letter of the button selects it iirc. Sometimes the esc key passes for Cancel.
    If it's not, in Sys Prefs change if the “Full keyboard access” under keyboard shortcuts is set to use text boxes and lists only, switch it to “All controls”.

  • How do I center align the text in my text boxes if they are currently right aligned?

    I created a client questionnaire in Word and then turn it into a PDF and created the text boxes necessary. The problem I am having in Adobe XI Pro is that I want all of the text in my text boxes to be centrally aligned rather than left aligned. However, when creating and editing the text boxes, I see no option to help me do so. When clients fill out the form it looks messy because the information that the fill in tables in not centrally aligned, so it makes my tables look poorly organised. Help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    In Form Edit mode, right-click the field(s) and select Properties - Options, and under Alignment select "Center".

  • Vertically Center Text in a Text Box

    Just switched form Acrobt 6 to Acrobat Pro 9 and can't figure out how to verically center text in a text box.  When I select the text it gives me the properties bar shown below:
    Seems like a really dumb question because I know I could in Acrobat 6 and I don't know why they would take away that feature, but I can't find it anwywhere.

    The only time the More button is enabled is when I have the Text Box selected, and then the options pertain to the line weight, etc. of the box and not the text.  When I select the text the More button is not enabled and the only options properties are the ones shown above.
    I made the Text Box by going to "Tools", "Comment & Markup", "Text Box Tool".  I have not seen anything that says Multiline and when I searched help it only talked about multiline fields in forms.
    Thanks for the quick responses.

    Hi Dylan2412,
    According to your description, you'd like to pass the ComboBox.Text to the second form's TextBox.
    In Form1:
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    Form2 f2 = new Form2(this.comboBox1.Text); //pass the comboBox1.Text
    f2.Show();
    In Form2:
    public Form2(string s) //get the string;
    InitializeComponent();
    this.textBox1.Text = s;
    You could get the comBoBox refer to this sample above.
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,
    Youjun Tang
