[SOLVED] Why does nano "ctrl+o" `selects all`?

I am frequently using nano, but recently when I try to save the file and hit "ctrl+o" all text gets selected instead of saving the file.
Nevertheless, I can save the file in nano only if I switch my keyboard to Russian layout. Then "ctrl+o" correctly works.
Using English layout I can invoke `save file` by hitting "ctrl+shift+o" but it all worked perfectly with "ctrl+o" before.
I have had this nasty behaviour before but forgot what was the reason and how to fix it.
Does anybody know what's going on?

Oh, you're right. It is my "lilyterm" that overrides the default nano binding. In lilyterm "ctrl+o" selects all text area. Now, I reassigned the hotkey and nano is back to normal. Thanks!

Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough space available.

Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough available space.

The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Why does SQL execute inner selected functions again in the outer select?

Hi,
Why does SQL execute inner selected functions again in the outer select?
Given:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION K_TEST
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
RETURN 1;
END;
SELECT K_TEST, K_TEST FROM DUAL;Will (logically) execute the function twice.
SELECT intest, intest
FROM (SELECT K_TEST intest FROM DUAL);Will execute the function twice too!
Why can't SQL buffer the inner result?
Does anyone have an idea on how to achieve executing the function only once? My original called function is quite heavy and returning a user defined type. Adding predicates, the function is executed 3 or 4 times!
Thanks for any tips,
K.

Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?

Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?

Hello!
The same happened to my yesterday night when I was charging my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1. My first impression was that could it be and auto update (to install iOS 6.1.2) however I'm still on 6.1.
It erased ALL my info and shows the initial configuration wizard......this is totally a mega ***!!!!!!

Why does status bar say that all items are not loaded?

When I have the status bar displayed at the bottom of my page, and I load a page, it usually says 4 of 5 item complete, or 6 of 7, or even one time, 92 of 93. What does this mean exactly? And why does it never say all items are completed? Is anything wrong with the browser, or is this just code for something?
Thanks,
Jeff

These days web pages have many little extras, not just images, that have to be downloaded when we click on a link to a page. Sometimes, for a variety of reasons (file availability, internet problems, browser, bad coding, local cache, ISP problem) not everything downloads.
As long as the page seems to have all the information and nothing is apparently missing, I tend to ignore this.
When all items are completed, the status bar shows nothing.

Why does my Photos application show all of my pictures as blurry?

The built in Photos app just recently started to display every one of my photos as blurry. Why does it do this? I have tried closing out all other applications, restarted the Ipad itself, and then opened the Photos app again. However, the pictures still appear blurry.

Normally in most cases such as yours, reindexing Spotlight will correct the problem. Try it again.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716
This seems to be a common problem with Yosemite.
If that does not correct the problem, you may try SMC and PRAM resets:

http://web.archive.org/web/20140711222006/http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
(This is a guess on my part. No harm can come to the MBP performing these resets.)
The last option is a reinstall of the OSX.
May I assume that the overall amount of data is correct? If not, then we will have to look at OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective.

Internet Connect..why does it say "The selected device is not available"..?

Hi guys,
Can you help? I am using BT Broadband in the UK via a wireless router. However, every time my computer wakes up from sleeping an Internet Connection window pops open and says "The selected communications device is not available. Please check your settings" or something to that effect.
Why does it do this and how can I stop it? My airport works just fine and automatically connects to the broadband.....
Thanks

Why does Captivate have to convert all the PPTX slides when I only want two?

Hello friendly people : ) ,
I often import Power Point slides into my Captivate projets. Even when I only want two slides from a large Power Point presentation, Captivate converts every slide, and this of course, take quite a bit of time. Is there any way around this?
Thank you.
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
How Captivate does import is, it fetches all the PPT/PPTX source content in the import process and then produces the Selection box where you can choose what all slide you want to bring in and then on proceeding it converts those slides to Cp compatible Slide structure and introduces them at the stated slide location.
What, I understand (Looking at your other thread) you do not link and re-import all slides after making any small change. So, if these modifications are being made by same individual on same machine, he can simply right click and edit the presentation from PowerPoint and save it to bring all the changes (this can be done without switching to linked in library).
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Why does Bridge hang when selecting thumbs

I've been working on a script that looks through all the currently visible images in Bridge and selects a subset of them. In my case, I'm selecting only the latest version of an image (e.g. the PSD, not the NEF). My code logic is working to identify the thumbs that I want to select, but when I try to actually select them in Bridge, I find that Bridge hangs.
The whole script is a bit complicated, but the relevant part to my problem is:
for (i = 0; i < fileNames.length; i++)
if (!fileNames[i].hasDerivative)
var thumbObj = currentThumbs[fileNames[i].thumbIndex];
app.document.select(thumbObj);
If I comment out the app.document.select line, the script works perfectly. I've even written debugging code that verifies that my script finds all the right thumbs. But, when I try to actually select them in Bridge, Bridge hangs and I have to kill it from task manager.
Is there something I'm either doing wrong or need to know about app.document.select(thumb) in Bridge? Why would that call hang? Could I somehow be passing an invalid thumb to this function? Is there a way I can write debugging code to test if it's a valid thumb I'm passing in all cases?
--John

Hmmm. That's not very convenient and it doesn't prevent my mistake. At the cost of a lot more typing, it can prevent other scripts from accidentally referencing or colliding with your variable names, but it doesn't prevent you from accidentally colliding with other people's variables if you leave off the object qualifier when you are typing.
When I saw a reference to namespaces in something I was reading, It thought it was more like real namespaces (e.g. C++ namespaces) where you define a scope where all declared or referenced variables are automatically in that namespace unless they are explicitly referenced/declared otherwise. Does JavaScript not have that capability?
It would be more like this:
namespace MyProgram {
var i = 3;
// lots of other code here
With a real namespace, "i" wouldn't be a global variable. It's real name/declaration would be MyProgram.i or MyProgram::i depending upon the syntax.
Does JavaScript not have real namespaces?
I get that I can explicitly declare everything to a scope of MyProgram to simulate some benefits of namespaces, but that's a lot of extra typing and, presumably a bunch of extra work for the interpreter since there's at least one extra dictionary lookup for every variable or function reference.

I got a reply from the chairmans office
I’ve spoken with BT
Wholesale again today and I’m waiting on a report coming in from the Chief
Engineers Office.
What I’ve
been doing
I’ve also gone
through all the history available of the work that has been done on your line
and can confirm the following:
Your line is
all copper and is on the best E and D side cables available.
We have changed
the network equipment in the exchange on multiple occasions.
And it doesn’t
look like there is any more physical work can be carried out.
The report I’m
waiting for from BT Wholesale is about a known issue that we have had with
certain exchange equipment which is used to make the phone ring when it is
being called and causing the broadband connections to drop, I need this to
confirm if your line is affected by this specific issue.
I think you
have spoke with Donal earlier today and discussed the option of moving onto an
8meg service instead of the upto 20meg, and you told him this has been tried
before and did not work, can you remember roughly when this was so I can check
it with BT Wholesale?
What happens
next
There is still
an engineer on his way out to you tomorrow between 1pm and 6pm. I’m not sure
what this engineer will be able to do given that we have had it confirmed that
you are already on the best lines available but we will see how he gets on and
take it from there. (Might get a nice surprise!)
I’ll give you a
call tomorrow to confirm the update from the chief engineers office and also
see if the engineer has been out on site with you.
Best Wishes
Chris
My reply
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, some of the information in your email isn’t correct.
The D-side is only the “best lines available” because it’s the only one available!
I had the BB disconnecting when the phone rang, long before going on the new equipment.
They have exchanged the network equipment on “multiple occasions”, even though I told them not to bother because I knew it would make no difference.
The facts are:
NO WORK has been done on my D-side (apart from the connections directly outside my property)
Many people that have had the same fault have told me it turned out to be the D-side
I was told by a BT Openreach engineer that they would not do any work on my D-side because part of it was aluminium. But this now turns out not to be true, so I have no idea why they will not do any work on my D-side.
At the cab, the broadband is the correct speed and works fine.
My caller display, often doesn't work. I think this is the same line fault that causes this.
A leakage to earth was detected on my line, but was never fixed.
My phone often rings 2 or 3 times, when I finish a call. I think this is the same line fault that causes this.
When the BB speed goes up, the router records a huge amount of errors.
A few years ago my BB failed altogether, it turned out to be the connection outside my property. The connection was green and in bad condition. There are loads more of these connections between my house and the cab, they will be just as old or older.
A BT engineers test equipment detected a change in resistance somewhere on my D-side, I haven’t heard if that was ever looked into.
Every piece of evidence points at a bad connection on my D-side, so you can see why I will not rest until I know that all the connections have been replaced. BT wholesales answer of “that there is nothing wrong with your line” just isn’t good enough because the fault still exists.

Why does Grab give me an all-white result?

After rebooting, Grab works fine, but within a couple of hours it starts giving me an all-white result. It grabs the proper size image, but the image is entirely white. This is true whether I grab a selection, a window, timed, untimed, all variations on grabbing are entirely white.
No messages appear in the console indicating anything is wrong. Quitting Grab and relaunching it doesn't help. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem temporarily.
Mac Pro with OS X 10.6.8, Grab version 1.5 (101), all software updates applied, all permissions repaired.

I think you are absolutely correct about Trusteer. My bank uses it too, although I use Firefox rather than Safari.
I tried this experiment:
* I tested Grab, it was working fine.
* Logged in to my online banking, Grab now fails, gives me all white.
* Logged out, Grab still is all white.
* Closed the Firefox tab in which I had the the online banking, Grab now works fine!
Just to be sure, I repeated the above sequence again, got the same results.
Further testing suggests that all I have to do to break Grab is to have a tab open in which Trusteer is active, it doesn't matter whether I've logged in yet, simply being at a Trusteer-protected login screen breaks Grab.
Looks like problem solved, thanks!
