[SOLVED] Highlighted text in the shell, appearance rxvt-unicode

Hi,
Short question, when I highlight text in the shell or when text get highlighted in ncmpcpp or outer app running in the shell it gets basically impossible to read. Because background to text get the same color and strength then the text.
what setting should I look for to change what it look like when I mark and highlight text in the shell?
Thank you!
All the best,
Christer

How to highlight text in the iCloud web app

Hi,
My computer recently broke so I had to use my mom's windows computer to do my homework. I had to use the iCloud web app Pages to do my homework. My assignment requires to be able to highlight stuff so does anyone know how to highlight text in the iCloud web apps?

You can do this easily by using a "modify class" parameter in your web template.
Following methods are of your interest to change char/KF headers.
CAPTION_CELL changes formats/values of characteristic headers
STRUCTURE_CELL changes formats/values of key figure headers
Hope it helps.

How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text
editor' capabilities. BTW: Bluefire and Overdrive also have such
limitations. Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the
ebook, as you would be presented with a physical printed book.

How do I highlight text in the new Pages? It's not clear.

I have the new version of Pages. And it appears that highlighting of text is an issue. This is a basic function.
I found there is one quick key version, but doesn't clearly explain how to change highlighting colours. How to get into it.
I have to explain this to my 80 year old mom, who we told to get a Mac because it was easier!
So if anyone has it laid out step 1, 2, 3, that would be helpful, because it's not clear to me either.
Thanks!
Apple - please to a quick fix for this one, it should be the same as changing the size or the font or like bold or italic. Simple, clear, fast and doable..... for anyone!

TO Peter,
Thanks for the list. I had found it in LibreOffice, tucked away in the Background tab of the Character pane opened by the Character... menu item in the Format menu, and named "Background Color. A few steps further down than in Pages. Apache OpenOffice has it in the same place. But both also have a hilight icon in the toolbar.
I didn't fin highlighting or Color fill in Text Edit (v1.8). Might need a further search.
But this well-equipped party of (one) oscurantist did find a shorter path to highlighting text in Pages '09, cleverly hidden in plain view! See the image below.
TO hscortez,
I'm aware that changing the text colour is not highlighting.
But YeOldMacFan pointed out how to change text colour AND how to change background colour of text, using Character fill, found in the Advanced Options (Pages 5) or the More (Pages '09) tab of the Text Inspector.
Character Fill fills the space around the character with the chosen colour. As shown above, it's essentially the same effect as dragging a hiliter pen along a line of printed text.
Unfortunately, whats shown above is the Character fill well on the format bar of Pages '09—right out in the open like the highlighter pen button in LibreOffice, and presumeably in MS Word. I don't have Pages 5 (avoiding it until a few more of the missing features arrive), but I do note that Pages for iOS offers highlight as one of the options in the contextual menu that appears when a block of text is selcted.
The process appears to be:
tap twice to select some text.
drag the handles at each end of the selection to adjust what's selected.
tap Highlight in the menu that has appeared on the screen.
One thing missing appears to be colour choice. The default is a 'hiliter yellow'. I didn't see a way to select a different colour.
"Hopefully, this will make it on their upgrade list. "
Hope is good, but taking action is useful.
Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback > Make your request that this be added to Pages 5. Requests made through Provide ...Feedback go directly to Apple. Comments and questions here are read by users like yourself, and we don't have the ability to change the way the apps work. Not directly,anyway.

Barry

Highlighting TEXT - not the field - and clearing the set value for a new one

I have a form in which various text fields are set with a message to inform the user as to what kind of information I want typed in. My goals are:
1. Have the text get highlighted so when the user starts typing, the "old" value gets replaced with the "new"
2. Or, when the user tabs or clicks in the field all of the "old" value is deleted and they can start typing the "new" value from the beginning of the field.
I am trying to eliminate having to manually highlight the field in order to type in the needed information. But each field needs to start with a value so the user knows what kind of information I am looking for.
Does this make sense? By the way, I have no JavaScript experience...uh oh!

Use the Media Manager (under the File menu bar item).

Is there a way to control Adobe PDF plugin from within a Web Application? For Example, Can we highlight text in the PDF/A document programatically?

Hi,
I am trying to open a PDF document in browser using Adobe PDF plug-in for IE 9. The plugin version is 10.x
I need to highlight certain text in the PDF document ( which is searchable) programmatically. For example, when a user selects certain text on the web-page, we want to automatically highlight that in the PDF document.

I don't think this is a question one can answer by simply downloading the SDK. And even if one reads all the documentation (it rarely happens for obvious reasons), it is not easy to reach an answer because its explanation is not trivial at all.
In my own opinion, this is right the type of question to be put and (hopefully) answered in a Forum.
Now, I am not sure about the correct answer but I will give one hint.
If I am not wrong, the Internet Explorer, IE, PDF viewer by Adobe is actually a .dll file which is put under IE once Adobe Reader is installed. A custom plug-in for Reader or Acrobat is also a .dll file (Windows) but its extension is .api and it needs to be copied under Reader or Acrobat (or both). Therefore, I don't see how we can merge the IE viewer .dll with a custom plug-in .api. Though maybe technically possible, I don't think it is something we can do.
If above reasoning is correct, the answer to the question is No.

[SOLVED] Escape sequences instead of colors in rxvt-unicode

On a Git cheat sheet I found that I could add nice colors to Git's output, so I edited my ~/.gitconfig by adding:
[color]
ui = auto
[color "branch"]
current = yellow reverse
local = yellow
remote = green
[color "diff"]
meta = yellow bold
frag = magenta bold
old = red bold
new = green bold
[color "status"]
added = yellow
changed = green
untracked = cyan
However, when performing a git log my terminal looks like this:
ESC[33mcommit 226dcb52565b58952b78fb107d8d9def3ca396abESC[m
Merge: 8f8af9f 93341d8
where ESC's colors are reversed. So, instead of yellow commit lines it outputs everything in plain text.
What's wrong with my configuration? I am using rxvt-unicode 9.15-3.

[Solved] no non-ASCII character input in rxvt-unicode

Hello everyone,
For some days now, I can't write any non-ASCII characters any more in rxvt-unicode and rxvt-unicode-patched. Unfortunately, downgrading the rxvt-unicode package doesn't seem to help. To have at least a temporary solution, I'd like to know at least which packages I could try to downgrade as well. Any ideas, anyone?

When I try to type a non-ASCII-character I get nothing at all. This happens with my custom keyboard layout (modified programmer dvorak) and in some layouts I already tried (us: altgr-intl, ch, de and fr)
When I paste a non-ASCII characters in rxvt-unicode I get
maxmin ~ $ ?
This happens only on my x86_64 desktop which is more up to date than my i686 laptop. (I'm afraid now to do any updates.)
EDIT: I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean with locale settings. What do you mean with that?
EDIT2: Maybe just typing locale in the terminal is what you mean:
maxmin ~ $ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.utf8

LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
With other terminal emulators I get sometimes also nothing and sometimes right displayed but wrong interpreted character in vim. I didn't take notes while doing that but I'll try again if needed.

Can I move highlighted text to the comments but not underlined text?

So I just upgraded to Acrobat from Reader yesterday so I could take notes on books for school. I found out how to export the comments from a PDF to a new document using a JS, and have enjoyed using the following:
// Get the comments in this document, and sort by author
this.syncAnnotScan();
annots = this.getAnnots({nSortBy: ANSB_Author});
// Open a new report
var rep = new Report();
rep.size = 1.2;
rep.color = color.blue;
if (annots) {
rep.writeText("Summary of Comments: By Author");
rep.color = color.black;
rep.writeText(" ");
rep.writeText("Number of Comments: " + annots.length);
rep.writeText(" ");
var msg = "\200 page %s: \"%s\"";
var theAuthor = annots[0].author;
rep.writeText(theAuthor);
rep.indent(20);
for (var i=0; i < annots.length; i++) {
if (theAuthor != annots[i].author) {
theAuthor = annots[i].author;
rep.writeText(" ");
rep.outdent(20);
rep.writeText(theAuthor);
rep.indent(20);
rep.writeText(
util.printf(msg, 1 + annots[i].page, annots[i].contents));
} else {
var msg = "No annotations found in this document, %s.";
rep.writeText(util.printf(msg, this.documentFileName));
// Now open the report
var docRep = rep.open("myreport.pdf");
docRep.info.Title = "Comments for " + this.docuentFileName;
docRep.info.Subject = "Comments";
What I'm curious about is if there is a way around having both highlighted and underlined text go instantly to comments. If it's possible to get just one or the other to automatically enter the comments that might save me a ton of time manually copying and making decisions like "is this really worth the extra size of the output file." Those kinds of decisions really slow down my reading process. Rigth now I've been exporting pages of stuff, and even though I can search what I export it's going to become unmanageable.
The only thing I can think is to only copy things that I specifically wanted exported to the comments, and to just do this manually so I don't end up with too much highlighted/underlined text.
(Also, and this one isn't that important...is there a way to save the JS I have been using to all the PDFs that I have? Right now I have just been copy pasting it to each PDF that I make.)
Thanks in advance,
Matt

The forums have mangled the script (which looks strangely familiar ) but if you want to only list annotations with a specific type, add a new line in between these two:
for (var i=0; i < annots.length; i++) {
if (annots[i].type == "Highlight") {
if (theAuthor != annots[i].author) {
and add another closing brace at the end of this one
} else {
'type' has several defined strings, all documented in the SDK. You'd be using "Highlight" or "Underline" to filter.
If you want to run the script repeatedly, you can put it into an Action (using the 'run a javaScript' step). Bear in mind that you can't run it against several files at the same time, as the reports aren't saved, so set the Action's properties to apply only to the currently-open document.

How to Create Highlighted text through the API

I am trying to create a script that goes through a document and cut/pastes specific elements to another document in FrameMaker 7.1.
So far, I can open a document and if an element is already highlighted/selected, i can cut the whole element using F_ApiCut().
I am having problems programatically trying to highlight the element that I want to copy.
So far, I have tried using the exampe from the FDKRef:
        //grab the selected element and set it to the elementRange
        er = F_ApiGetElementRange(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_ElementSelection);
        parentId = F_ApiGetId(docId, er.beg.childId, FP_ParentElement);
        er.end.parentId = er.beg.parentId = F_ApiGetId(docId, parentId, FP_ParentElement);
        // if the selected element is a child of the highest level element, the client returns here
        if(!er.end.parentId) return;
        er.beg.childId = parentId;
        er.beg.offset = er.end.offset = 0;
        er.end.childId = F_ApiGetId(docId, parentId, FP_NextSiblingElement);
        F_ApiSetElementRange(0, docId, FP_ElementSelection, &er);
        F_ApiCut(docId, 0);
but this only grabs an element that is already selected. Is there a way to select an element through the API?
Thanks for any help!

TrainingDeveloper,
There most certainly is a way. You can set up any kind of selection that you want, although it is definately a tricky process that can throw off even an experienced FDK developer. Here are my observations based on the code you pasted...
If you want to select an element, the first thing is that you need to have the ID of that element. I don't see anywhere in your code where an element ID is retrieved. All I see is the F_ApiGetElementRange which is getting the current selection, which in turn is likely why you just keep cutting the currently-selected element. If you want to get a specific element, that function call is not applicable. You only need to set up the element range structure to reflect the proper selection and then cut.
With that, assume that "elemId" is the ID of the element you want to cut. To select an entire element, you would do this:
F_ObjHandleT elemId, docId;
F_ElementRangeT er;
/* . . .   code here to get elemId, docId, etc. . . . */
//set up the element range structure for whole-element selection
er.beg.childId = elemId;
er.beg.parentId = er.end.parentId = F_ApiGetId(docId, elemId, FP_ParentElement);
er.end.childId = F_ApiGetId(docId, elemId, FP_NextSiblingElement);
er.beg.offset = er.end.offset = 0;
//set the element selection in preparation for the cut
F_ApiSetElementRange(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_ElementSelection, &er);
//... and cut
F_ApiCut(docId, 0);
I'm not sure what the sample you pasted is meant to accomplish. It is somewhere along the right track but it won't get you exactly what you want.
Now, I should say that the process of retrieving the desired element ID is a whole different challenge. I'm not sure if you know how to do that or not so I'll defer any discussion on that until you ask.

[solved] applications dont follow the standard appearance

Preview: highlight text slowly disappears over the days

Hello everyone.
I have several days reading a book in pdf format with preview.app, and I highlight text in bright yellow.
I have reviewed all the highlighted text and the color yellow is more tenuous as I approach the beginning of the book.
In fact the highlight of the first page no longer exists.
How I can do to make all the highlight is of the same intensity of color?
I use Preview Versión 5.5 (719). Thank you.

Tonight I went to the Genius Bar. There seems to be two options:
(1) Do as the genius did tonight:
- Reset the home folder's ACL (Access Control List.) (He said to Google this to learn exactly how to do this.)
- Repair the disk permissions
- Delete the Preview preference file. It's a "plist" file located in user/library/preferences
If that doesn't work, then:
(2) Re-install Lion.
I tried Preview with the fixes and most of my problems seemed to be fixed. Those being the colors of the highlighted text and notes haven't dimmed after a number of quits and restarts of Preview. However, the grey text that I originally included in my annotations became invisible again. They're still there, but you can't seem them. Although the text that I included using other colors (blue & red) continue to appear.
My feeling that this still might be an issue related to versions, but who knows.

Can you make a menu for the right-click search so that when I highlight text and search, I can choose which search engine to use?

If you Highlight text you can right-click on it to pull up a short menu. One option is "Search x search engine for 'highlighted text'" Previously, the search engine selected would be whichever search engine was selected on the search bar, so Google or Amazon.com, etc. Because you can no longer change that selection before you search, the search engine is set to your default. Was an annoyance before, but now it's just a hindrance.

Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem
