Soft Navigator Key in the virtual keyboard

Hi 
I don't know whether anybody has such issue :-
In any text input field, if you want to insert a word at the begging of the sentence, is it very difficult to move the cursor with my finger?
For instance:
I composed a text message "will meet you later", but now I want to add "I" at the beginning of the text, so the full sentence will be "I will meet you later".  
The issue is I have problem to move the cursor in front of the "will ...."
I know this is not a problem, it should be a enhance feature. Like Sougo IME, there is a soft navigator key pad will be easier for the big finger user.
what advise?
Regards 

Assuming it's an Apple layout keyboard, hold down the command key.  When you hit the space bar once, the menu of available languages will pop up, and you can toggle between them with the space bar.  After you find the language you want, release the command key.

    Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

    All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
    Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
    I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

  • Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 64 bit, "Could not send keys to the virtual machine"

    Hi,
    I newly installed Windows 8.1 (not an upgrade, fresh install from corporate network) on a Dell Precision T7600 workstation and enabled the Hyper-V feature with the matching management. I created a couple of 2 GB RAM, 2 virtual CPUs VMs and am trying to install
    Windows Server 2k8R2 and 2k12 on them. After a network boot, during the first couple dialog boxes for Windows setup, I am unable to use the keyboard. When I try to boot from an ISO, the VM get stuck on a black screen "Starting Windows". In either
    case if I use the VM connection window menu to paste from clipboard or send ctrl+alt+del, I get the error:
    Virtual Machine Connection
    Could not send keys to the virtual machine.
    Interacting with the virtual machine's keyboard device failed.
    I search online for this error and did not find others experiencing it.
    I tried to shutdown and reset both VMs, I stopped and restarted the Hyper-V service. Neither helped. I am not sure what other step I can take at this point.
    Also, I configured a virtual switch as external network on one of the two Intel network adapters. Both connect to a gigabit switch. "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" is checked. Both VMs are on the same virtual switch.

    Hi,
    Can you find any information in event log about this issue?
    Based on my research, it seems that the Dll file related to Hyper-v was corrupted.
    I suggest you try using the following command to repair your system.
    1.Open an elevated command prompt: press Win+X, then click Command Prompt(Admin),and press Enter.
    2.At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

  • When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer, and so as my password consists of numbers, letters and symbols my ipad keeps showing that my password is incorrect! Is there any way around this problem please?

    When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer keyboard, and since my password consists of letters, numbers and symbols, the ipad keeps displaying "incorrect password". Is there any way around this please anybody?

    Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
    Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character?

  • How Do I freeze(pause)a midi file and freeze the virtual keyboard too?

    Whenever i pause a song of a midi(that i shove into Garageband),
    the thing stops playing and the notes Shows in the Virtual Keyboard also stop but they disappear.
    I want to pause and see the paused notes on the keyboard too so that i can learn the chord or notes at any point in time.
    The only way i've been able to do this is take A MOvie capture of the Virtual Keyboard as it plays a track so i can see the notes. And then i open the movie in Quicktime and in Quicktime the video pauses and  you can see the current notes played cause they light up in GB.
    I would like to pause the Light up notes of the Virtual Keyboard but without having to make a video capture. I just want to do it in GBand. Why doesn't GBand pause and keep the current notes lighten. ?
    Instead it stops everything and the lighten notes are no longer displayed
    I'm using GBand 5.1

    There is unfortunately no tab key, however you can tap the spacebar with 3, 4, or 5 fingers to get that number of spaces.   4 should be about the space for a normal tab if I'm not mistaken.

  • Why doesn't the virtual keyboard work with firefox on my dell venue 8 pro windows 8.1 tablet?

    When I try to enter text in any text-entry box, i.e, in the url , search, or on a website, the virtual keyboard doesn't activate. I have to manually activate and deactivate it. It works for Google Chrome, but sadly not for firefox, my preferred browser. The tablet is up-to-date with the latest drivers and updates.

    Thanks for the reply. No, it's the virtual keyboard that is integrated into window 8.1. I haven't installed any 3rd party keyboards

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

  • How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows?

    How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows without having to press fn + Enter?
    This article explains the problem but has no real solution:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support

    I'm not sure if you even read the first couple of posts at all. On the old Apple Pro Keyboard (white keys and translucent body), pressing the Help key resulted in exactly the same key code as the Insert key on any standard (IBM) PC keyboard. This meant that regarding this key, that Mac keyboard will work just like a PC keyboard. (I don't care much about the other keys.)
    The problem is that on the current Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (white low-profile chicklet keys, ultra-slim aluminum body), the Help key is now called fn and produces a different key code than the old Help key, so that you have to press fn + Enter (on the numerical keypad) to get Insert.
    This page explains the problem:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support
    Do you understand what I mean? It's not a software thing, it's a hardware issue in the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, because fn is a hard-coded, not software-controlled modifier key. I have no idea if there is even a way to get around that, and that is what I am trying to find out.

  • I cannot get the virtual keyboard to automatically work with Windows 8.1 Desktop

    I have read a lot of the same complaints, but no one seems to have a good solution for getting the Windows virtual keyboard to auto respond to Mozilla.

    What is your Firefox? What is the virtual keyboard you are trying to use?
    Does the keyboard work with the other programs and Windows?
    Have you had other problems?

  • How about Hot Keys for the Wireless Keyboard?

    Hello all.
    Been using the iPad 2 for about 2 weeks since I got it.  Had to "ditch" the iPad Keyboard Dock and use a regular Apple Wireless Keyboard.  The good thing is now using the TwelveSouth iPad Stand, I can orientate the iPad to any of the two positions I want.
    But I miss the special hot keys on Keyboard Dock, namely the Home and Lock keys.  Kind of inconvenient pushing the Home button on the iPad 2, especially having to double-press for multitasking.
    If only the iPad's iOS allows some sort of configuration for hot keys on the wireless keyboard.  I do notice that the F5 and F6 are empty.
    Cheers

    I would only hope that the keyboard would turn off, not just when it isn't pairing with the computer, but for the keyboard that is paired (mine is) it would be best if it turned off after a period of no use. Here is what one man, not an Apple tech, said about the A1314 keyboard he was selling on ebay:
    "The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life based on average usage patterns. It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    This doesn't indicate how many minutes of no use it needs before it 'powers down' (doesn't sound as good as really being turned off) and it also doesn't address the issue of knowing if your keyboard is on or off via the power button.
    Even my dog electric training collar blinks twice when it is turned on and blinks three times when it is turned off. The Apple keyboard needs two indicator lights, one to tell you if it is searching for pairing and the other strictly as an on off indicator. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this, but it does seem like somebody was sleeping in the design department as this keyboard is really cool, but it doesn't convey the basic on/off information to the user.

    Tap and hold on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard. Select Dock and it will return to its normal position. You can turn off undocking and splitting of the keyboard at

  • Updated iPad to IOS 5.0.1.  The virtual keyboard has vanished and I can't bring it up.

    My iPad software was automatically updated to IOS 5.0.1 and the virtual keyboard will not come up now.   My bluetooth is off and was not paired with another device so I'm not getting an ambient keyboard being picked up.   Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Be sure that your SIM is not an old cutted.
    Anyway seems a SIM problem, so I suggest to exchange with a new one at your carrier.

  • Tracks are panning to the right alone when I click the virtual keyboard

    Hello,
    This is a very weird problem I think. It started happening sometime ago and I really have no idea how to fix it: When I click the virtual midi keyboard multiple times, the track start panning to the right alone. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
    Thank you a lot

    Hi
    You should find these in the User Home folder library (which is hidden by default in Lion):
    1) In the Finder, use the Go menu whilst holding down the Option (Alt) key... the Library will appear in the 'Go' menu.
    2) Navigate to (<user>):Library:Application Support:Logic:Project Templates
    You should find the ones you are looking for in there

  • Can we remove keys from the UITextField keyboard?

    Greetings again
    The app I'm working on, I'm wanting the user to enter in a value that will be placed in to a double.
    I've already used the TextFieldDelegate information to limit the possible keys that will be accepted by the keyboard (no letters, no symbols, '-' only on the first byte, no more than one '.', etc.)
    But the keyboard that I'm using has keys to allow the user to change keyboards to symbols or QWERTY. While those keyboards won't be useful to the user due to my other logic, if it's possible to prevent the user from changing to the other keyboards, I'd like to do so.
    Thanks

    Depending on what exactly you need in your UITextField, you should consider setting its keyboardtype:

    You gave me an idea to try, but it didn't work.
    In my TextField Delegate method, I've added the following:
    if ([textField keyboardType] != UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation)
    [textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuatation];
    return NO;
    But that doesn't seem to be working. The logic passes it, as if it's true.
    So now my question is, is there any way for me to detect that the user has changed keyboards? If I can detect it, I may be able to force it back.
    Again, if not, I'll restore what I had and call it "best I can do due to the limitations"
    thanks again.
