Switch windows within program in text edit in yosemite

When I started using Mac (back with 10.4 or someting) you could switch windows within programs using cmd+< or cmd+shift+< (cmd+>). This worked for every program, and I see it as an essential core to how OSX handles it's programs windows. And it's a really feature, IMO.
However, some versions back (I don't remember if it was 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9) someone changed this in Mail. When writing an email, the shortcut cmd+< changes the indent level. cmd+shift+< still changes the window. This is VERY frustrating. When I noticed this, I thought "alright, whoever came up with this idea should get fired!" Well guess what? He or she wasn't. This person still works at Apple and has now got his or her hands on Text Edit. In Text Edit in Yosemite, these shortcuts zooms in and out! And there is no longer any shortcut to change the windows within Text Edit. I'll say it again: Please fire this person before he or she destroys more! And make sure to change back so that cmd+< works for all programs.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Command -` for switching windows within an application

I ran an update to 10.6.5 last week and suddenly I appear to be unable to scroll between tabs within an application using Cmd - `.
For example, using safari i was able to scroll between tabs using this keyboard shortcut, and in excel I was able to scroll between Workbooks.
I have the option checked under
System Preferences | Keyboard | Keyboard Shortcuts | Keyboard and Text Input | Move focus to next window in application = ⌘`

This application will.

Help! - Switching windows within Illustrator

Anybody know the command (shortcut) on how to switch between windows in Illustrator? For example: If I have 2 ai files open and I want to go back and forth between the 2, how do I do that? I obviously know how to do through the window file menu, but is there a quick default command already?
I'm using a PC, Adobe Illustartor CS3.
- Also, anybody know how to change the default swatches library. I want to add my own swatches every time I open up a new document.

Yes, Thank you!

Switching windows within an application

So I know that I can use the apple+tab to switch between applications. I'm wondering what I can hit to switch between two windows of the same application. Like if I have three open firefox windows, hitting apple+tab will only let me switch to iTunes or something else, not the other firefox windows. Thanks for the help.

This application will.

Not able to use the Tab key to Tab indent when within a text edit window...

Two questions please... First one is above for the tab function. In Safari I just need to press control+option+tab to indent a tab within a text edit box on a website. This function is being used more via cloud and mobile capability.
Second... I can, in Safari, Copy and paste a site with tables. Works great in Safari. When I try to do this in FF I lose the formatting of the tables and it just give plain text without the tabled fields.
I would love to use FF because the compatibility if much greater than Safari, but... I need my functionality as well to do my work to the best and quickest ability.
Thank you

Help About says I'm on 20.0.1
Up until last week, I was able to use the tab key when typing emails and other multi-line text boxes.
Suddenly the behavior of the tab key changed. This isn't the first time. It's been quite a while ago that the function of the tab key changed from indenting to moving around the page, then after some time it changed back to indenting.
Can we get this fixed and leave it alone, please?
I may give one of those add-ins a try, but my problem with add-ins is that they break when FF is patched or upgraded, then I'm left with out the solution they provide.
Can we just fix Firefox, please?
Thanks,
Frank
P.S. Another potential fix I came across suggested starting FF in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. It does not. It seems to be a change to FF that appeared after an update last week. On or just befor 24 Apr.

Need help in embedding a link to url within a text edit

Hi,
We need to embed a LinkToURL within a textedit in a webdynpro view. We are extracting content from KM and displaying the content in the text edit. Immediately after the extracted content is displayed in the textedit, we need to embed a LinkToURL, which when clicked opens a new window and displays content extracted from a different file.
Could anybody help out in achieving this?
Thanks much in advance,
Sunitha.S

There is no way to embed rich text neither in TextEdit nor in TextView UI controls.
You may display such content using IFrame (easy way) or parse content yourself and create UI controls dynamically (extremely hard)

Programs crash when switching windows

Hi, I have had this problem for a while now (about a month after I installed Windows 8.1 on my fresh new computer).
The issue is when I switch windows (the odds are much greater if I minimise or use the show desktop button in the bottom right), the program may not respond, and require to be forcefully closed in task manager (or spamming the X
button) to close, then reopened.
This is not normal behaviour and is starting to get onto my nerves since I constantly have to restart my browser when switching between my IDE and it.
Just recently it has started closing a particular background program too (Logitech Gaming Software) which is why I am now contacting support to resolve this issue.
http://imgur.com/uVqpZwg
This is my step(s) to reproduce the issue.
I suspect this may have something to do with using an SSD and having a harddrive with my programs on. I modified the %programfiles% system variable and installed all new programs into that location.

Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem. The work around is
to edit the registry. If you are not comfortable doing this DONT. If you are, backup the key before you do
Press Win+"R" and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org.

Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org. My tool bar does not look like this. It's only one line with font, Style, size, font color, BIU, alignment, line spaces and indentation options. The help says that this is how I adjust my page margins. That is my goal.
Thanks

The name field must match that found in the email confirmation. Even a missing Mr. will cause it to fail.

How can I view 2 active windows within a program simultaneously?

Using Windows programs on a PC, I could often use the "Window" menu to access the commands (something like) "Tile Vertical" or "Tile Horizontal" to view 2 active windows within a program on the screen simultaneously with a click or 2 of the mouse. I am finding that with a Mac I must manually resize and position 2 active windows to view them simultaneously. Am I missing something or is the manual method my only option? Thank you so much for any suggestions.

Yes, it's the only built-in option. There are several third-party window managers that provide the type of functionality you are looking for. You can find them at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. For example,
Window Tiles
FlexiGlass
There are others with varying types of features and options.

Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences

So, in my FCP7 projects, the Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences first. I've tried new projects, old projects, open all new windows on top settings. Once I delete the preferences, viola, opens right up. I can rebuild my preferences and after just a few days it won't open again... without preference delete.
I'm on a Macbook Pro 17'" i7 and do most of my editing on a 27" Apple Cinema Display. This is the only reason I could come up with. However I did some editing from the Macbook's screen and after 1 day, the Boris 3D editing window again refused to open. I have no idea. Is this is a known bug, etc.?
Help!

With Final Cut not running, trash the Boris Title 3D preference file.
/Library/Preferences/Title 3D Preferences
Also, you could have a corrupt or duplicate font file. Open FontBook and check it out.

SQL Window Text Edits Not Working

I've been using SQL Developer 1.5.1 for some time now and it has worked great. Just recently, I'm not able to do simple text edits in the SQL window. I run sql queries constantly and have had to go back to an older version of SQL Developer. I have no idea what I may have done to cause this.
I can type in the sql window, but I cannot move my cursor to any part of the entered text. I cannot move to a new line [Enter key], or back space, or delete text. I can highlight text and delete it, but simple text edits do not work.
Has anyone experienced this and if so, is there a known cause and/or fix?
I have no idea on how to uninstall this version and reinstall it. I've tried deleting the files and re-running the zip, but my old settings are still present.
Help?

I had exactly the same problem and the Tools/Options/Accelerator/Load Preset fixed it. Thanks a lot!!!!

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

Text editing window expands instead of creating vertical scroll bar

In the last few days, I have noticed that when I try to edit or post to Wordpress.com the vertical scroll bar no longer appears on the text editing box. Instead the box just gets progressively larger which makes it very difficult to get to other items on the WordPress editing screen, such as tags and categories. This problem seems to have arisen during the v31.0 auto-upgrade. Is anybody else having this issue and what steps can I take to solve it? (FYI, I tried modifying the setting described in another response about a similar issue using the about:config screen, with no success.)

I don't know whether your dashboard has the "Visual" and "Text" buttons, but I believe the Visual uses CKEditor or another WYSIWYG editor and the Text editor might be a simpler design. Are both affected?
I searched around to see whether I could find Wordpress.com support threads or other stories about it and I can't. So I'll fall back on some general suggestions:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove WordPress.com cookies without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Note: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Why do I get a full screen window of the "Text Edits" tool...?

I got Acrobat 8 and when I mark some text with the Text Edits tool and afterwards types som replacements, I just get one big pop-up box filling the whole screen instead of the normal sized in the left margin as usual. And I am not able to see what I'am typing since this kinda lies outside the screen picture. Is this a matter of settings - or a bug, or anyone else tried the same?
Memebers of my work group use the same version with the same updates without problems.

If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select View ▹ Show Log List from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.
