Switch between windows in quicktime using keyboard?

hey all,
i know i used to be able to do this in some previous version of quicktime, but i cannot figure out how to do it now:
how can i switch between different windows in quicktime with the keyboard?? if i have 3 different videos open, is there no way to switch between them with a keyboard shortcut?
thanks!

yeah, i'm beginning to think that's what it should be, but when i use that - or any similar combination of the modifier keys and tab or ~ i only get an error beep. must be something else i have running!
thanks anyways.

HT1343 how do I switch between windows in the same programme? I know that I can use Command tab, however this takes you through all of the programmes that I'm using. What I need to do is have a shortcut to switch between windows in the same programme.

how do I switch between windows in the same programme? I know that I can use Command tab, however this takes you through all of the programmes that I'm using. What I need to do is have a shortcut to switch between windows in the same programme. For example if I'm in Excel and have 5 windows open I want to be able to scroll between each window of Excel only with a shortcut.
Please help!

Command and ~ keys to tab between open windows.
Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key. Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.
Command-Grave Accent

Can't change the shortcut to switch between windows (^F4) to altTAB

Hi,
I would like to switch between windows (not applications) by hitting ALT and TAB (same as Windows) instead of ^F4. In the preferences, I tried to change the shortcut labelled something like "Move focus to the active (or next) window". Unfortunately, it always complains that this shortcut is already used by another operation. However I can't find which operation uses ALT+TAB ?!
How should I do ?
Thanks in advance,
Barth

Interesting. I can't use the TAB key in ANY custom shortcuts. it gives an error sound (but no message) when i try. I tried it on 3 different computers. I suggest you try a different shortcut like alt+`. It's very close to alt+tab.

Switching between windows

I used to be able to switch windows by using command-`. That no longer works in any application, Safari, Mail, Pages, Numbers, etc. Please help. This just happened today; yesterday I was able to switch between windows in this way. I know I can go to the Windows drop-down mwnu and choose the right window from there, but that's a real pain. I'm using 10.6.8.

Go to System Preferences and make sure this shortcut is enabled:

Switch between Windows in Mission Control

What is the shortcut to switch between windows, add a Space or delete a space in Mission Control?
I bring Mission Control with CONTROL - UP. However, once I see all windows, I cannot choose the application with a keyboard shortcut, nor add or delete a space with a keyboard shortcut.
Any ideas?

Control right/left arrow or control space number will switch between Desktops.
Tom delete a Desktop, select it and an X should appear in the top left corner of the Desktop.
To add a Desktop, slide the cursor to the top right corner and a + sign should appear.

Switching between windows in safari

now that i updated to snow leopard, i can't use cmd+< short cut to switch between windows in safari. Couldn't find a way to do it other way either... help i got so used to this short cut that i need it back

the "<" key and cmd + , has always been the shortcut to open the application's preferences.
Most people use tabs in their webbrowsers these days. So to switch between tabs you can use cntrl + tab

Safari auto switches between windows, makes the front window inactive...

Hi all,
I'm having a really annoying problem with Safari...
When I'm browsing quite often the front window kind of deselects itself, say for instance I have a couple of browser windows open and the downloads window, it will automatically bring the downloads window to the front! Meaning I then have to click on the browser window to make it active so I can then continue whatever I am doing... I am not pressing any key commands for this to happen (I know cmd and ~ (tilde) does this as I use it often to switch between windows). It just does it off it's own back, it's like someone else is controlling the window...
Funnily enough, it's just happened then again! when i'm typing this message, it brought the downloads window to the front and then this one back to the front, in the space of a second or so...
Thanks in anticipation as this is one **** of an annoying problem!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
If you still have problems with Safari, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

Enforcing commit when switching between windows

Today our OracleForms application is built using the call_form built-in. The end user can navigate from FormA to FormB but he must close formB in order to continue work in FormA. This is the expected behavior of the call_form built in. We also ensured that all changes are committed when navigating between forms; posting is not used. This architure/technique ensures that end-users commit frequently; with 400concurrent users we must ensures locking is kept to a minimum. Consequence of this architecture is that we do not have a full MDI application.
In order to have a full MDI application I have to use the open_form built-in but if possible i want to keep 1 session for each application user, not 1 session for each form opened. This in order to prevent an explosion of database sessions. Oke lets use the no_session parameter.
Now what's my problem ? I order to keep locking to a minimum I want to enforce the end user to commit changes when switching between windows. Does somebody has an advice which trigger(s) would be the most appropriate one ?
Note : that the "raise form_trigger_failure" has no effect in the "when-window-deactivated" trigger.
Note : post-form does not fire since I'am not actually leaving the calling form
Note : if possible I would like to program the validation in the calling form instead of the called form; this in order to prevent switching between windows - can cause screen flikkering.
chris

note the when-window-deactivate does not always fire when switching between windows of different forms !!!
I simply want to keep the focus on the calling form when there are pending changes and throw a message to the enduser saying 'please commit before continuing...'
I tried to program the when-form-navigate trigger but in this trigger I'am not able to retrieve the form_status of the called form.
any other help would be appreciated.

Lag/delay when switching between windows/applications in Yosemite

I have installed Yosemite onto a 27" iMac mid 2011 with 16Gb RAM. Since the installation anytime I switch between windows in an application or between applications I get a delay or lag of between 5-10 sec before I can then utilise then next window. I have 3 other iMacs of various ages that I have also installed Yosemite on and there has been no lag/delay issues. One of the other iMacs is exactly the same specification as the one that is displaying the lag/delay. It did not exist in 10.9.5.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Run some of the maintenance utilities such as Onyx, Cocktail or Main Menu.
Create a new user account and see if it is also happening there.

I want to switch between 2 open apps using only 1 step, i.e. touch once, tap once, push once, swipe once, etc. Can I do this with a 4s running 6.1.3?

No. 2 steps if the app is already open, double tap the home button and then tap on the app.

Switching between multiple desktops while using VNC

Hi All,
Encountering a minor inconvenience with switching between desktops while VNC-ing. I frequently telecommute and VNC into my work imac, which has parallels + windows 7 installed. My personal machine is a retina macbook pro, and both my macbook and the imac have the newest mavericks installed. I will frequently have multiple desktops open on my imac, but I find that when I am VNC-ing into the imac and then open up parallels in a full window that I am then unable to switch back to my other OS X desktops unless I completely shutdown my windows VM. Normally hotkeys works for me to switch between desktops (and still works when switching from OS X window to OS X window), but it just doesn't do the trick here. I know could just configure my imac so that parallels doesn't open up in full screen mode, which would solve the issue, but I feel like there's gotta be a way to switch desktops while VNC-ing! All tips appreciated!
Thanks,
KP

Hi,
This is possible using access restrictions in Universe designer based on user login.
For eg. there is user A,B and C and three connections C1,C2 and C3.
In Manage access restrictions you have to create a three restrictions(R1,R2 and R3): one using C1,second C2 and third C3.
Apply these three restrictions to corresponding to the users. i.e. R1-->A,R2-->B and R3-->C.
So based on user login the instance will be used for same report.
In IDT , I think this can be done using Data Level Security, but the concept wil be same.
Thanks

[solved] [gnome] Switching between windows: now grouped per program?

I have a question how I can change the behavior in Gnome regarding open windows for programs & switching between those windows.
OpenBox & LXDE - every instance of a program has its own icon.
If I have Chromium running in two windows, and LXTerminal in an other window I have 3 icons.
With ALT + TAB I can switch between all windows.
Gnome: every program has its own icon, no matter how many instances / windows are open
If I have Chromium running in two windows, and LXTerminal in an other window I have 2 icons: one for Chromium and one for LXTerminal.
With ALT + TAB I can switch only between the two programs.
The icon for Chromium has a downwards-arrow, and if you wait some time, you can choose between the two Chromium screens.
How can I configure Gnome to have icons for every open window instance, and not grouped per program?
I prefer to use ALT + TAB to switch between all open windows (an not only between the open programs).

Thanks for your fast response!
I haven't worked with Gnome Extensions before (I used to have Gnome 2 on my Debian machine), so I had to find my way regarding how to install:
After registration at https://extensions.gnome.org/ I logged in & browsed to the extension that you recommend and just used the switch to switch it on.
It works great! Thanks!

Is it possible to switch between dictation languages with a keyboard shortcut

On my MacBook Pro I can use the dictation feature to dictate in either English or Japanese, and it seems to work pretty well.
However, if I want to switch between dictation languages, I have to go into settings and choose the installed language.
With Siri on my iPhone 5, if I switch the keyboard between languages then Siri dictation also switches to that language. That doesn't seem to happen in OS X.
Is there some keyboard shortcut I can use to switch between dictation languages to save time? When dictating in Japanese it is very common to also enter an English word here and there.
Thanks,
doug

I wonder if apple support would even know about the shortcut you are using, since it's not mentioned in

Sometimes their support documents are a bit outdated. I have just recently noticed that feature. But surely they must know about it if they created it.
Anyway, the problem isn't with the shortcut. That works fine. The problem was that mysteriously "enhanced dictation" - which lets you dictate even when not connected to the Internet via downloaded dictionaries, and also lets you type continuously and show the intermediate results (like Google Voice) - was not working. Yet if I turned off enhanced dictation - which DOES require an Internet connection, like with Siri dictation, was working.
I can imagine scenarios where the non-enhanced dictation may temporarily not work because of network or Apple server problems. What I couldn't understand was why the network-based dictation was working, while the local dictation wasn't.
But I can't replicate it now anyway. Currently both are working.

Why is the mouse 'sticking' and it switches between windows?

Hello,
So this morning my mac has had a few issues, all within about a minute of each other:
-mouse 'sticking', not totally frozen but isn't moving smoothly
- will switch between open windows and even just fly over to the dashboard randomly
-open random windows
for ex. the little window that would open if I right clicked on something, (except I was just typing) and it's happened multiple times today, and never before.
* I had Pages '09 and Safari open.
* I've restarted my computer and only launched Safari and the problem seems to have gone away, making me think there might be a corrupted file or something in Pages.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Brandon

The mouse (at least the Magic Mouse) sticking and flying are well known problems for which there seems to be no cure in sight. Just grit your teeth and try to think something complimentary about Apple.
