Switching application shortcut problem (COMMAND+TAB) and (COMMAND+`)

Hello everyone
Since the upgrade Leopard i had a problem with the switching apps shortcut.
Once you start the switching apps forward shortcut (COMMAND + TAB), the switching apps Backward shortcut (COMMAND + `) won't work anymore. The only thing that make it works it to use (COMMAND + SHIFT + TAB) which is not good. It gives me cramp in my left hand! HA!
Anyways I check out petty much everywhere in the settings where I could find a customize shortcut for that. But I didn't find it. I also check if is was not an other application who was taking the same shortcut and it is not the case.
Can somebody help me on that one.
I know it is not a big deal but... still.
Thanks everyone
Benoit

Some applications allow you to set hotkeys (Quicksilver, a 3rd party app, is the example I used -- this is not included with OSX). I was thinking that perhaps some other application you have was using the hotkey cmd-tab and stealing it from the finder.
You can also change the 'meta' keys in the system 'Keyboard and Mouse' prefereneces (click on keyboard -> modifier keys) -- this maybe is confusing things if its not set to defaults.
There's also a 'keyboard shortcuts' tab under keyboard and mouse, look under there e and see if there's anything involving tab (by default there shouldn't be).

    Yes, EEK!
    Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
    Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
    Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
    Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?

    You can also check in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure that custom shortcuts were not created using those same commands. If ones were, they could be creating a conflict. Step throuogh each of the items in the left list, checking the array presented in the right pane for each.

  • JSF Command Button and Command Links

    The main page of my JSF application has a Save button and Command Links. After making any changes on the main page the user should click Save before using any of the Links. Most of the time almost all users do this. However, some users are making changes then clicking a Link, thereby losing their changes.
    I could always execute my save method in the backing bean when a link is clicked, but, most of the time this would be doing a lot of processing which usually would not be necessry.
    Is their some way to check if any changes have been made and then doing the save only when necessary?
    Regards,
    Al Malin

    Anybody?
    What would be beneficial is something like this. If somehow it could be determined if any of the JSF fields on the page were modified. Then, in the backing bean method that handles the ActionEvents for the links, I would check if changes were made and, if so, call my save method.
    In other words is it possible to determine, in the backing bean, whether or not JSF fields have changed?

  • Command-delete, command-left and command-right not working as expected

    On a Mac (in my case OS X 10.6.8) when entering text into a text-field or text-box 'command-delete' in any other application deletes everything between the cursor and the beginning of the current line. I'm using Firefox 10.0.1 and this does not work.
    Also, in certain rich text editors such as Gmail's compose mail text-box 'command-left' and 'command-right' which would usually jump to the respective beginning or end of the current line doesn't seem to work.

  • Disable command-tab and/or kill dock

    Hello,
    Is there a clever terminal command or a simple hack that will disable command-tab switching between apps? If not, can I kill the dock completely to regain the ability to use command-tab in QuarkXPress?
    This keyboard shortcut conflict is driving me nuts trying to stay productive in Quark. The PullTab haxie is not Leo-friendly yet, so I need a solution ASAP.
    Thanks!!!

    There is no way to disable command-Tab that I am aware of. Can you assign a new key combo to quark's command-tab feature?

  • Can't use hotkey "Command+1" and "Command+2"

    When I updated my iTunes 6 to iTunes 7,
    I found that the default hotkey settings "command+1" which to turn on/off list window and "command+2" which to turn on/off Equalizer.
    And I checked the Help information in the iTunes 7, but it show the same tips with iTunes 6: "command+1" to call out main window, "command+2" to call out the Equalizer.
    It must be the one of the bug.
    Any one got this same situation ???

    It's not a bug. It's been removed. It's BS because I now realize how often I used CMD+Tab > CMD+1. Tab to iTunes, then reveal the playlist without touching the mouse. If you look in the "Window" menu, "iTunes" no longer has the CMD+1 symbol next to it.
    Dammit, Apple! Stop taking away sh#$ once you introduce it! Most of my apps have a CMD+1 function and I want it back in iTunes! It's my only real complaint about the new iTunes. That, and the album art pane in the lower left won't stay hidden when in Album Cover view. But that's minor.

  • I have problems restoring tabs and saving pin apps with Firefox 5 on Mac OS X version 10.6.7

    I bought a Macbook Pro a few months ago and since installing Mozilla Firefox on my system, I have never been able to restore previous sessions after closing Firefox. I currently use Firefox 5 and I've tried pinning open tabs as apps tabs but those too disappear when I restart Firefox.
    I use a few add-ons including DownThemAll, Force-TLS, Rikaichan and Rikaichan's Japanese-English Dictionary File.

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Problems with "v", "]", and command keys on the keyboard

    Hi,
    On my MacBook, pressing either the "v" key or the command key to the left of the space bar, without pressing the other one as in a keyboard shortcut, pastes what is currently on my clipboard. Pressing only the command key to the right of the space bar, and not the "]" key in combination, moves me forward in my web browser. When I do press the "]" key, nothing happens (I had to copy and paste the "]" and the "v" for this post). Obviously this is somewhat annoying as typing anything with these two symbols becomes a chore. I am still able to use other keyboard shortcuts, however, but in doing so the command key either pastes from the clipboard or, if I'm using a web browser, moves me to the next page in my history before completing the shortcut. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Try resetting your SMC.
    Resetting the System Management Controller >>
    Try resetting PRAM:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound (bong) for four times.
    6. Release the keys.
    If neither help, you could have a hardware issue with the keyboard.

  • How can you set up a custom keyboard shortcut for Next Tab and Previous Tab?

    You can do this in Chrome because there is a top menu item for it, and OS X supports easily rebinding of keyboard shortcuts that are in the main menus.
    Is this possible in Firefox? Using a two handed shortcut to switch tabs is annoying when you want to keep one hand on the mouse!
    Thanks!

  • At log-in Firefox stated that it was having a problem closing tabs and directed me to click a tab to continue, which I did, and sexually explicit images appeared on the screen and when I tried to close the screen, another screen popped up with additional

    At log-in Firefox the screen opened up with the message "Oops, We're embarrassed, we are having trouble closing tabs" or similar wording directing me to click on a tab to continue, which I did. At which time a screen full of rows of thumbnail pictures of a young girl in appeared on the screen. Some of the pictures had the girl imitating a sexual act. When I tried to close out of the screen by clicking on the 'X' at the top right of the screen, another screen opened with another larger picture of this little girl. I finally got out of Firefox. When I open it up again the message wasn't on the screen. As these pictures were disturbing I cleared them out of my history.
    My questions are - 1. Since these pictures appeared to be of a minor, can you backtrack to the source to find out where they originated and have something done about the individual who posted them? And,
    2. - Did my clicking on the link as directed - by Firefox, I thought - open my computer up to the personal information on my computer being compromised?

  • Newbie.. how to set command prompt and command aliases

    So, I usually log an as a root (Solaris 10), and I would like to have a current folder in my prompt, so I put a line in /etc/profile:
    PS1="${LOGNAME}: `pwd`: "
    but it shows only a folder that was current at a logon (root home folder)... how could I put it to be dynamic?
    also, I would like to have alias
    ll=ls -l
    and I tried to put it in /etc/profile, but it doesn't work.
    how could I change this?
    I know these are begginers questions :)

    I'd suggest that you do one of the following
    - use roles so that an ordinary user can perform some tasks that require elevated privileges
    - use pfexec
    - use sudo

    For sh and ksh, then something like
    PS1="\$LOGNAME: \$PWD: "
    should work.

    Safari problem:  when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows.  What's going on?  Just started yesterday.  I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.

    PS:  I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

    A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    As for which OS X is installed.
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.
    v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
    It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.
