Shortcut problem

I am having a problem linking to an external .chm in my
software application help. I've read the posts about shortcut
problems and am trying to use Pete Lee's javascript. I saved this
javascript in a file names 'getChmDir.js' which I added to my
RoboHelp project and then added as a baggage file. I included the
following in the HEAD of my truecode:
<script type="text/javascript"
language=JavaScript
src="../getChmDir.js"></script>
What I'm trying to do is use an image with a hyperlink to a
specific file in an external .chm. My current hyperlink is:
JavaScript:Shortcut('HH.exe','MaestroFlowcharts.chm::\Task_Flow\cc_start_care.htm')
This hyperlink will not work. I'm getting a message 'A
Runtime Error has occurred. ...Error:Object expected.' 'is as
follows.
My thinking was that I need to supply the application,
followed by the .chm file name and file within the chm. I don't
know much about javascript, but I've been successful in applying
Pete's javascript for mynotes and Peter Grainge's javascript for
show all/hide all.
I would sincerely appreciate any assistance. Thank You!
Pam

Pam,
While there are problems with shortcut controls, opening an
external .chm should still work with a direct call <A HREF=
"MaestroFlowcharts.chm::\Task_Flow\cc_start_care.htm">. This
provided the external and calling .chm are in the same folder. I'm
also assuming you are calling from a .chm as opposed to calling a
.chm from WebHelp.

  • A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
    As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
    "+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
    +I can confirm that:+
    +a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
    +b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
    +- close FCE (if open)+
    +- open System Preferences/International/Language+
    +- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
    +- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
    +- close System Preferences+
    +- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
    +It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
    Piero "
    As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
    I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
    Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
    This solution allows to restart the computer.
    It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.
    Michel Boissonneault

    Hi Michel,
    I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
    The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
    Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).

  • Photoshop cs5 shortcuts problem

    Hey, remember me?
    I'm the guy who asked about the shortcut problem in this post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/976013
    So, I got the excect same problem (shortcuts stop working after a period of time while in photoshop and I need to restart photoshop to make it work again)
    But now, It occurs every 10 secs. I CANNOT use photoshop at all. Just as I open it I got 10 secs to use the keyboard and then its over.
    Guys, I'm so desperate right now, I got a website order thats need to be done, and its just impossible to do so.
    Everything is fully updated, as well as drivers. Nothing has changed in my computer since the last post^^.
    PLEASE HELP ME, what can I do to solve it?

    With all due respect, it's nearly impossible to know whether "that's pretty much it" based just on what you use, since a lot of things start and run in the background - possibly even malware.
    I don't know whether NOD32 is a good product; I'm fond of Avast! antivirus myself.
    I also don't know how much technical experience you have with Windows, but here are two pretty good programs for seeing just what's starting and running on your system, and for disabling the things you don't want or need running.
    AutoRuns:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
    Shell Extension Viewer:  http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
    Both of these utilities offer the ability for you to "uncheck" each entry, effectively disabling it and remembering that you have done so.  You can, for example, do a methodical one by one disabling of suspects, and see whether the problem is eliminated, then you can easily re-enable them as needed.
    It is surprising the number of things that get installed and run automatically that you don't actually need running at all!  I have fully 90% of the things in my HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key disabled.  I find even some things from Adobe aren't really needed.

  • Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates

    Xfce shortcuts defined in keyboard settings doesn't work at all, even the default ones like alt+f2. They were still working in the morning, but they stopped after today's updates. I think it has something to do with kbd package, but I can't honestly say.
    Anyone experiencing something similar?

    Most probably you need to logof, go into the console and wipe anything related to xfce on your home folder and start xfce again. Its a pain to get everything as you want again but at least you avoid problems like the one you have now.
    You may also see a problem with the icons, just pull tango-icon-theme and all will be well.

  • Ctrl+Alt+C Shortcut Problem in Indesign CS3

    I cannot use the ctrl+alt+c shortcut in IdCS3. The alt key works with all other shortcuts. I believe this is caused by ATI's catalyst control center which uses the same shortcut to open it's window but I disabled the hotkeys in catalyst and even changed that hotkey to one besides ctrl+alt+c and I can still not get the shortcut to work in Id.
    This happened to me about a year ago and I can't remember how I fixed it.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I had this problem, Ctrl-Alt-C did not work in Indesign or Photoshop (but CS5.5 & Windows 7).
    To fix it:
    > right click your desktop background
    > select catalyst Control Centre (top of list)
    > ‘Options’ at top right pull down menu
       (if you can’t see this, choose Advanced install, OK, then go back to step one again)
    >Hotkeys > Hot Keys Manager
    > select the one thing in the list, then press Edit
    > Change from Ctrl+Alt+C  to  Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C
    > OK, OK, OK
    Hey presto!  It’s all working now!

  • N97 Internet Shortcut problem

    I just updated to the latest firmware update using NSU (11.0.021), now that it has been rolled out on 3 network (UK) and have one slight problem with my Internet shortcut on the top shortcut bar on the home screen.
    The icon has changed from the usual large globe, to a small white page with WWW running up vertically and a small globe next to it. When selecting the internet shortcut I am taken straight to a web page, as opposed to opening my bookmarks menu.
    I have changed the setting to open straight to the bookmarks menu and when going in through Menu > Web it opens to my bookmarks but to matter what I do, the Internet shortcut on my home screen always tries to take me directly to a website and bypasses my bookmarks menu (and it is either Planet 3 (network's homepage) or Google Mobile!) depending on whether I connect through the network or through Wifi. I have made sure the shortcut is directed to Applications > Internet and not a bookmark.
    Also, when changing themes to one with a different icon set, the Internet shortcut icon stays like this and no longer changes to the icon which came packaged with the theme for internet.
    Anyone have any ideas on what happened or has had this problem following the firmware update? I just want my large globe icon pack on my home screen (it is still the large globe in the Menu) and want it to take me to my bookmarks menu NOT a website!
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi there
    I had the same problem when i upgraded mine and found it most annoying - however i did manage to fix it and its relatively simple. Hold down your finger on the widget and then select settings (assuming you have it on the 4 icon favourite shortcut widget if that makes sense) - click on the shortcut you want to change (i think it will say internet but can't remember) basically change that shortcut to the application thats called 'web' thats it - The icon will change to the globe again and it will then go to your default homepage.
    hope that helps

  • Switching application shortcut problem (COMMAND+TAB) and (COMMAND+`)

    Hello everyone
    Since the upgrade Leopard i had a problem with the switching apps shortcut.
    Once you start the switching apps forward shortcut (COMMAND + TAB), the switching apps Backward shortcut (COMMAND + `) won't work anymore. The only thing that make it works it to use (COMMAND + SHIFT + TAB) which is not good. It gives me cramp in my left hand! HA!
    Anyways I check out petty much everywhere in the settings where I could find a customize shortcut for that. But I didn't find it. I also check if is was not an other application who was taking the same shortcut and it is not the case.
    Can somebody help me on that one.
    I know it is not a big deal but... still.
    Thanks everyone
    Benoit

    Some applications allow you to set hotkeys (Quicksilver, a 3rd party app, is the example I used -- this is not included with OSX). I was thinking that perhaps some other application you have was using the hotkey cmd-tab and stealing it from the finder.
    You can also change the 'meta' keys in the system 'Keyboard and Mouse' prefereneces (click on keyboard -> modifier keys) -- this maybe is confusing things if its not set to defaults.
    There's also a 'keyboard shortcuts' tab under keyboard and mouse, look under there e and see if there's anything involving tab (by default there shouldn't be).

  • FCP Studio 7 keyboard shortcut problems

    I have had to re-load my FCP7 Studio after a hard drive failure, it's now running under OSX 10.8.5 since the rebuild of the iMac's system etc……However I now find some strange things going on with some keyboard shortcuts and time line actions and I am wondering if this is due to the newer OS or something else.
    The first thing is that clips, video and sound tracks imported to the timeline as complete clips, do not lock together despite showing that they are "locked", i.e. underlined clip ID. To trim them I have to drag the tracks individually….that's odd and awkward.
    Another thing is that the "lock / unlock all tracks" keyboard commands, shift F4 and shift F5 do not work on the sound video tracks together, and in fact shift F4 just brings up Dashboard, that's really annoying…Dashboard is something I'd love to kill anyway, but that's another story.
    So any clues here, or is this just a result of upgrading the OS to Mountain Lion?
    Thanks in advance……..PM

    OK!
    problem SOLVED!!!
    I've tried everything to fix this, partitioning the drive, installing previous OS on 2nd partition, re-installing FCP7 at least a couple of time. Dumped FCP Preferences, changed settings in the OS and FCP to no avail this past week or so. Been driving me nuts….
    Then borrowed another keyboard from a friend, viola problem sorted!!
    It was the keyboard all along, who would have guessed that?
    The errant keyboard appears to work just fine, all keys work, no dead ones……but some now don't play nicely with others especially double tap ones, hence the keyboard commands in FCP got messed up and redirected to other functions. This is a first time for me, but a relief to be back to normal. Ordered a new keyboard yesterday.
    Anyway, thanks for the help along the way….Peter

  • Mission Control keyboard shortcut problems

    I have a problem with my keyboard shortcuts (changing space with Mission Control)
    Sometimes they do not work... then I have to reset PRAM (using this guide http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379) and then it works again. Then after some time it fails again.
    Anyone having the same problem?

    Just another quick update, the link above is not possible CSGO and other steam games do not allow you to define custom shortcuts.  I found an article on the web indicating that scripting this is not possible either as the plist you modify requires killing the mission control process entirely to reload the settings, and then doesn't remember the modification you make to the plist anyway.  This is a real pain, maybe I have to learn to deal with AWSD controls in FPS games if I intend to use the mac :-/

  • Foreign Alu keyboard shortcut problems.

    Hello everyone, I recently bought a new alu keyboard for my macbook pro. But the shortcuts in fcp like F9 (insert) etc... don't seem to work. But they do still work if I use the old keyboard.
    I thought there was a problem with the osx shorcuts overriding the final cut pro shortcuts. But when I go to the system prefs with the shortcut config, I see that the shortcuts listed there (the ones you can disable etc) don't match the shortcuts on the new keyboard. --> ie. "all windows" is still "F9", while on the new alu keyboard this function is "F3". It's like it isn't recognising the new alu keyboard in the function panel. (but the shortcuts of the alu keyboard do all work in osx...)
    Anyone any thoughts?? I'm going mad...

  • Command-Return Shortcut Problem

    When I hit Command-Return my Mac hides all the desktop items. Unfortunately this disables a shortcut in a program I use called Omnifocus. I have posted about this problem on their forum with no joy:
    http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=8000&highlight=shortcut
    Does anyone have any idea how to disable this shortcut in other programs? I have tried the "Keyboard Shortcut" Preference Pane and it's not listed. The shortcut action Command-Return enables in Omnifocus is not a menu option so I cannot create a new shortcut for it. I have used several desktop icon hiding freeware apps in the past, but have since removed them from my Mac. They include Desktopple, Backdrop, VirtueDesktop and Spirited Away. So I can't see how they are responsible.
    I have run the Console while typing this keyboard shortcut and it records this line:
    "Finder[269]: overlaywinref is defined so we hide it"
    If you can help me correct this problem I would be very grateful.
    Thanks, Paul.

    Great suggestions Andy, and yes this solved my problem!
    I downloaded "Easyfind" and searched for "desktop" as you suggested.
    I moved everything related to "Google Desktop", which I no longer use, into my Trash.
    I also found an item called "desktopsweeper.ape" which you mentioned specifically.
    This seems to have been the culprit.
    It was actually running when I tried to empty my Trash so I opened "Activity Monitor" in my Applications/Utilities folder to force it to quit.
    But it wasn't listed there.
    So I had to log out and log back in and clear my Trash before it could load.
    This did the trick!! So THANK YOU very much!
    The shortcut now works perfectly in Omnifocus and if anyone is looking for the best GTD program available, look no further!
    Thanks again.

  • Photoshop CS5 shortcut problems after panel has been executed

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Photoshop panels.
    After executing a panel keyboard shortcuts stop functioning, especially copy/paste.
    My panels are simple one-button panels that call a bunch of Javascript functions.
    I tested it with a simple "create new file", with a more complicated Export panel and with the sample Colorpicker panel that is shipped with the SDK.
    After activating them the keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore.
    I am using Photoshop CS5 64Bit.
    I searched through the forums and it seems two other users had a similar problem without ever getting an answer, but I do not know where to ask if not here.
    The other two threads are these:

    Yes, basically we have all the default fonts installed on our computers, but we use a program called Universal Type Client to get the fonts we need, and UTC grabs fonts from a server and temporarily makes them usable on our computer. But everyone has this software so I dont think that would have anything to do with it.
    Could it possibly have something to do with my Video Drivers or Graphic Cards? Our tech guy mentioned it was strange that my computer had two different things (I believe he said I have a CORE i7 vPro and Nvidia NVS 5200M or something and that they may be competing?) or the amount of monitors Im using?

  • Safari history and shortcut problems

    I'm using Safari ver3.2.1 and it was running fine until a few days ago. Now, nothing is saved under "History" and some of the shortcuts, mainly the "Back" and "Forward", doesn't work at all.
    I tried to reset Safari to see if that will help, but that doesn't work at all either. Nothing happens when I click on "reset".
    I think everything else is working fine. Any help?

    I tried reinstalling 3.2.1 and 4 beta, but neither seem to fix the problem.
    I'll probably try and take it in to a nearby Apple store when I have the time since nothing seems to work

  • Type tool keyboard shortcut problem

    In InDesign CC, I am using the T key on my keyboard to switch to the Type Tool. Occasionally (not always) it will switch back to the previous tool, meaning if I had the selection tool selected before, and I use T to switch to the Type Tool, it switches back to the selection tool a moment later. It's infuriating!
    Things I've noticed:
    I can have more than one document open, and the issue may arise in only one/some of the documents - not all
    Selecting the Type Tool from the tools window bypasses the issue (therefore, seems to be only the keyboard shortcut)
    Have not seen this error reproduced for ANY other tool.
    Double-clicking a text box still works to automatically edit the text
    Closing the program and reopening usually fixes it, but occasionally doesn't
    I'm trying to figure out if anybody else has noticed this issue. I can't seem to find anything addressing this problem. Is there a solution??
    InDesign CC 2014.1  /  10.1.0.70 x64 Build  /  Windows 7 Enterprise

    I've been having the same problem, and it's really frustrating. I have replaced my preferences twice with no luck. Do you know of any other possible fixes? I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. Thanks in advance!

    A users rank does not guarantee the quality of advice they give. Some users of this forum earn rank whilst others simply gain it.
    In the case of the advice you've been offered above both suggestions will achieve the exact same thing by triggering the same type of reset, I guess pudu wasn't aware of this or that the code worked on S40.
    I've personally seen this problem in another model and the method above did not work in it's case but it was worth trying.  A firmware update solved the problem in that case.
