Shortcut key for Firefox icon won't start multiple sessions

If is set up a shortcut key for the desktop icon to start firefox, it can start one but not multiple windows/sessions of firefox. I want it to start a new firefox window, just like I can with IE, even if firefox is already running. How can I fix this?

Dear Q,
Many thanks for your help!
Didn't work straight up for a couple of times.
Firefox(3.6.8) just wouldn't start,but did allow me to uninstall it.
Which I did, removing all personal data. (second time)
I then installed older version (3.6) , and is up and running again.
Once again , many thanks , for your time and effort to help.

How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
Thanks.

This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

How to set Shortcut keys for button in Apex

Hi
Could anyone help me on how to set shortcut keys for buttons in Apex.
I need to use say ALT + S to submit the page.
The following thread pertaining to HTML DB refered to use ACCESS key. but that couldnt work in my case.
Re: operation of the app. with the keyboard
Any pointers on achieving this would be helpful.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I’m afraid you must do it using javascript key listener. You can’t use action() on template based buttons because they are actually not HTML buttons but images with hyperlink.
Key listener checks which key has been pressed down and invoke some JS function. For example, write this code in page header:
<script>
document.onkeydown=keyCheck;
function keyCheck(e){
     var KeyId = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
     switch(KeyId){
          case 113:
               doSubmit('SAVE');
               break;
          case 118:
               alert('Hello');
               break;
</script>
This script will submit page with request 'SAVE' if you press F2 or will show alert message if you press F7. Modify it to your issue.
Regards,
Przemek

Robohelp Shortcut keys for styles

RH8 HTML
Just wondering if theres a way to set shortcut keys for styles, similar to how you can do it in MS Word.
Just makes formatting etc so much faster, instead of having to use the mouse and click around.
I see I can set shortcuts to do other RH functions, like create new topics etc....but nothing for text formatting.
Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick
RoboHelp has always offered the following:
Ctrl+Alt+1 Applies Heading 1
Ctrl+Alt+2 Applies Heading 2
Ctrl+Alt+3 Applies Heading 3
Ctrl+Shift+N Applies Normal
Aside from that, perhaps use something like Macro Express to create a macro you could use.

Non numeric keyboard - I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth

I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth - like Page Up, Page Down etc, but the new Apple wireless keyboard hasn't got the numeric keypad.
Are there alternative shortcut keys for Page Up/Down? Or can I programme any of the Function keys to do that instead?

You can create custom shortcuts pretty easily. Here is an article that explains how to do it:

Is There a Shortcut Key for Change/Find ?

Hello and thanks in advance,
Using the InDesign CS-5 Find/Change feature, I am always using the Change/Find button.
*** Is there a way to create a shortcut key for this option, Change/Find ? ***
Since I use it so often, it would be good if it could be one of the "F" keys: F1, F2 or whatever.
I looked under "Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts" ... but I could not find the option Change/Find there. Did I miss it ?
Thanks again,
Zorba

Here is what I have now done, based on the suggestions above:
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/robinwhitman/tech_support/id-edit-keyboard-shortcut s.jpg
As you can see from the screen shot above,
I have opened up the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu,
Product Area: Text and Tables
In the Commands window I have selected:
=====================
Grep Replace wth Change to text and Find next
==============
Now at this point, suppose I want to make the shortcut to activate this, the F4 key.
I click to put the cursor into the cursor into the box that says, New Shortcut
and then if I press "F4", it seems to be already taken by the Snow Leopard OS ... on my screen appears the Weather, calculator, calendar and clock.
So I cannot assign the key and create the shortcut.
Am I close to the goal here, or am I on the wrong track ?
Thanks ... Zorba

Disable shortcut keys for Universal Access

At our school we have a bit of an issue with students using keyboard shortcuts to set the Universal Access options (usually to Black on White, but also Zoom and VoiceOver), which freaks out the next student using the computer. I'd like to disable the shortcut keys for those settings. Are there ARD Unix commands that would do it?

Hello Francois,
Thank you for your fast reply!
I tried your recommendation, but got the following result:
When I have a label of "& OK" with the blank symbol as ALT-255, the Button in the Alert Box still has the focus. It seems as if there now is a blank in front of the OK (which is underlined). This does not really solve my issue, because the Button still has the focus and that should not be. The best solution for the user would be if he only could accept the message with a mouse klick.
Is there an other suggestion?
Thank you so much!

Shortcut keys for the Start/End work area?

Hey guys,
Does anyone know if any shortcut keys exist for setting the Start and End points for the work area (i.e. grey bar with orange endpoints above timeline)? On a large timeline, I usually have to zoom all the way out, find it and then drag it to where I'm currently editing so I can render a small work area. If I could save some time by using shortcut keys, that'd be great!

How are you setting the Access key to the buttons, are you using "&" in the label or using the Access Key property??
I have tested in 10g and it works when you set the "Access Key" and not working when using "&" in the label, which I find it logical.
For the workaround, yes you can set the hidden buttons with Height and Width = to 0 ,. X, Y coordinates to 0 as well and Mouse/Keyboard Navigable property to False.
