Shortcuts - How do I create a shortcut to enter some text?

Hello, is it possible to setup a shortcut so that when you type, for example, control & b my e-mail address is entered in an internet site text box or MS Word etc. I was able to do this on my old PC but cannot find out how to do this anywhere.
I woud really appreciate some help.
Brian.

Head on over to versiontracker.com and locate QuickSilver and TextExpander.
QuickSilver is still in beta and a few people have reported to be quite unstable. I've seen other reports that just love the program.
Text Expander sounds like it is a better choice.
Good luck
Greg

How can I create a shortcut to a tools menu option?

I use the clone stamp and the brush tool regularly. Each of these tools provides a Mode: dropdown list to select from in their menu bar.
The drop down options I use most frequently are Lighten and Darken. I would like to create short cuts to Lighten and Darken, such as Ctrl+Shift+L (Lighten) and Ctrl+Shift+D (Darken).
The tools panel menu bar does not appear to have a selection list in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
How do I create these shortcuts.
Thank you in advance,
Jim

They are already there. The same shortcuts that affect layer blend modes when other tools are selected, do exactly the same thing when the Brush; Clone, Healing Brush, Blur, Sharpen and Smudge tools are selected. (I forgot the gradient tool)
So with the Move tool or a Marquee selected
Shift Alt + scrolls down through the selected blend modes
Shift Alt - scrolls up through the selected blend modes
Your can go directly to specific Blend modes with first letters
Shift Alt n = Normal
Shift Alt m = Multiply
Shift Alt s = Screen
Now select the brush, or one of the tools that have blend modes, and the same keys will do the same job for that tool's blend mode.

How do I create a group in contacts for texting?

How do I create a group in contacts for texting to several people?

Create your group on your computer, and sync it on your iPhone. But you cannot use this group for texting. You need an application for this. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.

How can I create a shortcut to launch an external application?

Hello, I'm developing app in Swing where I want to create a shortcut for any external application, I'm able to get the .exe path, and an icon path (in .png format), is there a way to create a "shortcut" or button and assign the icon and the .exe path to run it? This is what I have to get the .exe path:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"" + jTextField2.getText() + "\"");
Where jTextField takes the value from a JFileChooser value, doing the same for the icon, then I could do this for a button to assign the icon:
ImageIcon img1 = new ImageIcon("C:\\image.png");
jButton7.setSize(64, 64);
jButton7.setIcon(img1);
But I havent' found any way to make the button (or any kind of shortcut) to execute the program, I could go and create a method to do it on click or ActionPerformed, but the idea is to do all this when I finish the create the shortcut, I hope you can understand me, I'm kinda confused, so far, I can launch the app but I want to create a new button/shortcut everytime I need to add an external app, thanks in advanced!!!

lost a shortcut for one of my apps but it shows up in the app store as purchased how do I get the shortcut back, pls help iphone 4

Hi newyorker2014,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are no longer seeing the app in question on your iPhone, but it is showing as purchased on the App Store, you should be able to redownload it directly. You may find the following article helpful:

How do I CREATE A SHORTCUT ON THE DESKTOP?

New to the Apple family. Always have been a PC person. Just got fed up.. Would like to find out how to cut and paste with the mouse and also my main question is not knowing how to set up a shortcut on the Desktop for faster internet access to certain specified sites.... Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. I signed up for one on one training.... I hope it wasn't a waste of money.
Make it a great week,
JO

Hi there
This post may be under the wrong section, if you are a new Mac user, then you most likely have an Intel based Mac, not a PPC. And also, you may want to not write IN CAPS as it usually indicates yelling in a forum environment
1. You cannot Cut & Paste on a Mac, you may Copy & Paste, if you want to Cut & Paste (CMD + X) you can download MoveAddict from the Mac App Store.
2. EDIT: Sorry, I thought you meant Application shortcut - do what he said \/ \/ \/
Hope that helps

How do I create a shortcut of the Macintosh HD onto my desktop

I have been trying to create a shortcut/ dragging icon onto desktop of the internal hardrive so it permantely on my desktop. ...it keeps telling me that the folder "Macintosh HD" can't be moved into one of its subfolders??? But my last mac I could....I have nothing on my desktop so cannot understand why..help please!!!

Go to Finder - Preferences - General and check the boxes of everything you want to be shown on your Desktop.
The Desktop itself is a Folder that is on the 'Macintosh HD' and therefor you cannot drag the Macintosh HD icon onto the desktop.

How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

Hi people,
I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
<div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

How to properly create complex OCI objects (for Annotation Text)

I am upgrading a tool that will upload text objects to a table with a ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT field. The app is a C++ app and I need to instantiate a ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT (using OCIObjectNew??). I actually have 2 questions. First, does anyone have an example of how to accomplish this? I seem to be unable to correctly create the annotation text type in C++ to be able to append to (calling OCICollAppend). Second, since ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT is a complex type (contains an array of annotation text elements), do I need to call OCIObjectNew on not only the main ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT type but also for the ST_ANNOTATIONTEXTELEMENT_ARRAY, ST_ANNOT_TEXTELEMENT_ARRAY, and the ST_ANNOTATIONTEXTELEMENT?
I can't seem to find in info on this so hopefully someone else has been through this.

I am still having an issue where the sub objects are still NULL.Actually I was mistaken. I must have confused getting an Object from OCIObjectNew with using one of its constructor method in a statement.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28395/oci18nav004.htm#sthref3438 clearly state the object will have NULL attributes, unless the OCI_ATTR_OBJECT_NEWNOTNULL flag is set on the environment handle.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28395/oci11obj.htm#i446308 further tells you what the default value for the object members will be.
An older 9i doc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96594/adobjadv.htm#1008774 also warns about resetting the indicator struct member when you update a member of the object.
user3068343 wrote:
++a) you allocate the object's top-level struct yourself (SDO_GEOMETRY in my case) in C+++
Above you suggest creating the objects top-level struct myself. How do you create that top level object? I have been using OCIObjectNew on that object as well as its sub objects? Is that how you are creating the top-level object?This technique works only on binds, as objects you get back from defines are always allocated from the object cache. I create the top-level object directly on the stack... This is something I discovered worked, but is not documented, so you're probably on safer ground using OCIObjectNew instead.
BTW, the reason I can't easily post OCI example code is that my code uses wrappers around the objects that hides most of the OCI:
Geometry Geometry::make_point(OCIEnv* envhp, OCIError* errhp, float x, float y) {
    Geometry point_geom(envhp, errhp);
    point_geom.set_null(false);
    point_geom.gtype() = 2001;
    PointRef point = point_geom.point();
    point.set_null(false);
    point.x() = x;
    point.y() = y;
    return point_geom;
}The above creates an 2D point-type SDO_GEOMETRY hidden inside the Geometry class, itself deriving from a GeometryRef class. The latter wraps a C++ API on top of the struct pointers for a SDO_GEOMETRY/SDO_GEOMETRY_ind, while Geometry actually composes the OTT generated value/indicator structs by value, and passes addresses to its nested structs to GeometryRef (its parent class). So GeometryRef can manipulate an object irrelevant of where it was allocated, the stack or the object cache. The Geometry class is a value class, but it's useful for binds only, and like I said uses a behavior which appears to work but is not explicitly documented.
Unless you have nested objects by reference, nested objects are composed by value in the OTT-generated structs, so the space for all nested objects is already allocated after the first OCIObjectNew. But the members themselves are not initialized, and thus marked as null in the indicator struct.
In the code above, my Geometry instance is fully allocated (on the stack), but fully uninitialized (the indicator is by default set to all nulls). I first set the atomic flag to non-null, then get the Ref wrapper around its nested SDOPOINT_TYPE to also set it to non-null, and fill in the x/y member (via another NumberRef wrapper, which knows about the member and the indicator for that member, and sets it as non-null when assigned to). Notice how how I return the instance by copy: My point geometry instance doesn't have a pointer-aliasing issue here, only because its two OCIColl* are null. In the general case, you can't copy my value wrappers without making a true deep copy... But I'm getting into the weeds here.
The important point is that OCIObjectNew doesn't init the nested objects unlike what I stated earlier. Sorry for misleading you on that. --DD

How can I create a shortcut to my application?

Hello
I have just created my first application, and I would like to start it from a shortcut in my winXP desktop. But how can I since it is not an .exe file? I am using the NetBeans IDE 3.5.1 that comes with the java bundle, and I have tried unsuccsessfully to find some solution there. I have also scanned both of my Java books (for beginners...:) without luck. I appreciate any help you can provide.

hi,
just download FreeJava or JCreator and save ur application as a project and then convert that project to an executable jar file. make a shortcut to this executable .jar file which will start ur project from the desktop.
