Switching windows in vim

I'm trying to learn a bit in vim and have discovered that you can open multiple windows. The book I'm reading says you can switch between windows by hitting ctrl-w. On my mac hitting ctrl-w pops up a window that asks "Do you want to close this window?"
anybody know how I can switch windows in vim on a mac?

Ah, I see. I had the ctrl key mapped to the command key. I mapped it back to it's default in Mac OS and now it works just fine.

  • Lately when using Firefox the mouse no longer works and no links or tabs can be selected. The only way to get the mouse to work is to switch windows with ctrl+tab

    The mouse is completely unavailable, not even able to select anything on the taskbar or start button.
    When this started happening I had to restart firefox, then I tried opening the task manager to see if anything was hogging resources and I found simply opening the task manager freed up the mouse, then I found simply using alt+tab to switch windows did it, then I discovered using alt+tab to cycle through the available windows straight back to firefox does it.

  • Command ~ (tilde) to switch windows stops working

    Well, actually I guess it is command-` since you don't press shift.
    My problem is this command key short cut stopped working. Mac OS 10.4.11 onAlu iMac with 4gb ram. It had been working, but now I noticed it stopped working.
    It never worked on my G4 tower but did work on my wifes iBook. It didn't work in my buddies tower but does work on my dads iMac G5.
    What the heck? How does a command key shortcut stop working. I get a audible bonk alert when I try to do command-` to switch windows. It used to work.
    Any ideas?
    Message was edited by: David Cretney

    Have you checked your keybindings? +(System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts)+ Is there a checkmark next to "Move focus to next window in active application"? Maybe your modifier keys have been altered? +(System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard > Modifier Keys...)+

  • [SOLVED][KDE, intel] Screen goes gray when switching windows

    Hello,
    on my EEE netbook, since the xorg update, I guess --noticed today, as I use it for school only --, the screen goes gray after I switch windows via alt+tab. This does not happen every time, but eventually it occures. In that case the whole screen has color of not yet painted window, and the DE is seemingly not responding to anything, I can still move my mose though and cursor moves too. Switching to text console works, but xserver restart is needed to get things back to normal.
    I have been using graphics system raster, but change to default didn't solved the issue. The same goes for -lcd font filters. System is up-to-date and uses some SELinux packages from the AUR if that matters, but it should not, as they are not graphics nor DE related.
    Would you have any sugestions? I should not be doing any potentially risky operations till thursday, as I need the computer for school and don't have any other available.
    Thank you.
    Will happily provide additional information, if you specify it.
    EDIT: The situation is simmilar as when I run a program, first a fullscreen window is painted gray, and when everything is loaded its content is painted. This lasts few second in case of big applications like Kontact. In the case of mentioned bug it is like the content of window never painted.
    EDIT: So I recompiled bespin-svn, as I remembered, that this package likes to cause trobles, when it is older, and I wanted to mark this solved, as it behaved during the day, but just few minutes ago, the problem happend again.
    EDIT: I don't understand it. On monday it happed several times during day. On tuesday it happend once. Since wednesday it didn't happend. Sould I start to beleave in ghosts?

    Ok, happend again several times today. Didn't happen at any other PC, but I do not have other Intel based, in case it is graphics related.
    As for log (not like I have an idea what to look for) I have error loading fbdev module and some touchpad errors in xorg.log (not imediatelly after the problem), and some Networkmanager warnings.
    Damn. Now I failed three times in a row to switch from konsole to rekonq in order to copy those logs. Anyway this is tail -n 50 everything.log (right now X11 screen is just gray and mouse cursor). SELinux can be ignored as it is set permissive.

  • 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.

  • Keep Preview playing when switching windows?

    Is there any possible way to keep Preview playing the file when switching windows? For example, pressing the space bar on .mp3 file begins playing it in Preview, however when switching windows, the preview pauses until you go back to the finder window. This is annoying when browsing .mp3's to play while doing other things. Any ideas?

    I think you mean QuickLook, not Preview. And no, QuickLook is not intended to work that way--it is a way to do just what its name says: provide a quick looksee at the files in an open Finder window.
    As for ideas: why not just open them in iTunes?
    If you don't want to add them to iTunes, you can put the folder with the mp3s into Column View, make sure the box for "show preview column" is checked in View Options, then click directly on the icon for the file in the preview column (as your mouse moves over the icon, you will see the stylish play button appear on top of the icon). It will continue to play no matter what else you are doing.

  • Switching window layout on dual monitor

    Hi i have color up with dual monitor but i want the scopes and color window switched between monitors. I can just drag each window across and switch them around but there is no resizing option so one window is larger on the smaller monitor when switched from the larger one.
    How else can i switch windows around?
    Thank You.

    Dont worry i figured it out. If you change the Menu Bar in the OS display settings it will switch the scree arrangements of color

  • 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.

  • Automator switching windows problem

    I think by reading through the forum i found that my loop is not continuously going through because of the switching windows. But for every single one of my actions it says (Bring the window “World of Warcraft” to the front.) I've read that usually it says this when you first click an application to show that you switched windows and you simply delete the first step to do it but for me all of my actions say that so im not sure how to switch into the application without it saying this.
    Message was edited by: Lil Tom

    Activating an application shouldn't interrupt the Automator workflow. What actions are in your workflow, and is the input getting set correctly? It looks like you may be using the *Watch Me Do* action, just be aware that scripting window items and mouse clicks are going to be tricky at best.

  • Problems with Comodo Kill Switch, Windows Services & Bitlocker Encryption on Asus N56VZ

    Hi All,
    So recently I found myself stuck in a different scenario than before, and after many hours researching and efforts to fix this I still find myself stuck  yet with a few options still to fix.
    What is the problem?
    So as a security cautious user when i first got to Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit I encrypted both the C and D drive (Split the main disk) to protect myself and my family. Unfortunately that has not been very helpful with the way in which booting and running from
    either external USB devices or CD/DVD works, not allowing myself to at all.
    My usual security suit I  use is Comodo Internet Security, which additionally comes with Comodo Kill Switch. Whilst using the application instead of stopping one of the TCP connections I was meant to I accidently stopped an Windows Explorer connection.
    For some reason since then Windows Explorer, nor most windows apps or services themselves will run. For example msconfig will run but sfc /scannow or mmc will not, whether in safe mode or normal mode.
    What Caused the Problem?
    Cannot 100% say
    What I Think Caused the Problem?
    Myself running Comodo Kill Switch stopping a vital server connection with Windows Explorer that messed up alot. Or a potential Virus unknown how cannot fully scan system as wont boot externally or run many apps.

    Booting using Windows 8.1 via USB (Cannot boot from extermal devices due to Bitlocker Encryption)
    Booting using Kali Linux Via DVD & USB (Cannot boot from external devices due to Bitlocker Encrytption)
    How do I know it is because of Bitlocker, because last time I disabled it, I could run from external devices
    Tried to run bitlocker to change settings (Will not run)
    Have used both password and recovery keys to unlock driver, they work but when applications are running on windows the drive is still locked?
    Tried windows Automatic Diagnostic and Repair (Could not repair anything, did make a log I am still to extract from the syste)
    There are No System Restore Points
    I'm sure there is much more information I could post however I will leave it on an ask to know basis, apart from the log files and further information to gather. Below is my list of trial and error fixes to try for today (need more ideas and help please!):
    Hiren's 15.2 Boot CD via DVD (NOT ABLE TO BOOT)
    Hiren's 15.2 Boot CD via USB (NOT ABLE TO BOOT)
    Research into the Bios and Possible Update in-case of implementation of Virus, can access flash utility (STILL NOT TESTED)
    Try and get a portable version or a working version of windows installer to try and re-install Comodo Internet Security (STILL NOT TESTED)
    Another way to disable Bitlocker
    Anti-Malware / Anti-Virus Scan If Possible to Run One
    Bitlocker Repair Tool, will try this also
    I have posted this as have not found much info online, usually find it and crack on but this time things are a little more tricky, my priority task I really need to do is remove the Bitlocker Encryption, but if the application will not run... what do I do
    then?
    Thanks for your time reading all, Sorry for any poor formatting or spelling.
    Update 1: MMC.exe Error Code
    Ok so now have the computer in safe mode, still same as before, no explorer.exe, no services etc... Just went into the Task Manager > Services (Tab) > Open Services (Option at bottom)
    This is the error I get:
    'The Instruction at 0x785a746c referenced memory at 0x000000a8. The memory could not be read.
    Any Ideas on what this error is and why?
    Update 2: CHKDSK Works with no Fix
    Update 3: Hiren's 15.2 Boot CD - USB Boot still no luck booting around Bitlocker Encryption
    Just to explain again, I already have unlocked the drive with correct bitlocker password or recovery key yet the drive remains locked not allowing windows refresh of files of complete install from the windows recovery menu as keeps saying drive is locked

    Ok so attempt number two to write this update via bloody phone! (Just refreshed page whilst writing!)
    Update 4:
    Problem - cannot run from bootable devices (DVD/USB)
    Cause - bitlocker fully encrypted drive stops this working
    Repair - Boot up holding F9 to enter windows recovery Input Bitlocker recovery keys to unlock drives
    Navigate to Command Prompt in advanced settings Execute following code:
    Repair-bde c: d: -rp 000111-222333-444555-etc...
    (Code found from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee523219%28v=ws.10%29.aspx)
    Note for those using this: It is common while unlocking certain drives to get errors such as: Quote from http://www.benjaminathawes.com/2013/03/17/resolving-partial-encryption-problems-with-bitlocker/
    "LOG INFO: 0x0000002aValid metadata at offset 8832512000 found at scan level

    (0×00000017) …followed by around 20 similar entries that differed only by the offset value"
    Repair Status for Update 4: COMPLETED - However over wrote D drive data so now need to recover that
    Problem 2 - windows services corrupted along with windows files
    Cause - Unknown
    Repair - wait until system is fully decrypted Once fully decrypted ensure boot from USB/DVD
    Re-do fixes that would not work before if this has fixed boot issue Confirm fix / update post Hope anything I put here helps others also

  • Firefox 7 won't allow me to switch windows; if it's up, it's on top, so if I ask it to open a site in a new window (instead of a tab) I can't get to the window without minimizing the first window. This makes it impossible to work.

    I upgraded Firefox to 7 on my Win7 Pro 64 bit desktop yesterday. Today when I try to open a site in a new window, the window opens but I can't switch to it unless I actually minimize the first Firefox instance. Clicking on the second window just shows the first window again.
    Worse, it insists on being on top of other programs. I needed to check my Norton Firewall settings against some instructions on a web site, and I couldn't switch back and forth - I could ONLY have Firefox on top. Until you fix this I'm going back to Chrome, guys. I have looked through the Options menus and I can't find an "always on top" box to uncheck.

    Dear mkunz,
    I can understand your frustration. I have elected for the option to pick up an item from a UPS location when missed upon delivery before; it is definitely a convenient option when working around a work schedule. I apologize that this option wasn’t available to you for your phone purchase.
    We do understand that people have to work and this is why we allow three opportunities for you to receive the product. I see that AWBrown has submitted an idea to ideaX page asking us to look into reevaluating this process. Using your email address you have supplied here on the forums, I was able to look up your order. Based on the tracking information, it appears that you successfully received the phone on 06/03/2014.
    If this is not the case, please let me know!
    Thanks for reaching out,

  • Application switching/windows and titlebar problem

    Hi,
    Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this, but it's a problem that relates to switching between applications in OS X, and I haven't yet found an answer through Director forums.
    So... I am working on a (cross-platform) Director project that has to link to and open Word DOCs. I have a problem in OS X whereby when a DOC is opened, the Mac does not seem to be switching properly into Word. What happens is: click thumbnail (running handler to open DOC, using Buddy API xtra); Word starts to open the DOC; DOC window appears in front of projector Window, but the Mac titlebar seems to 'stick' in the projector. I can edit the DOC, use keyboard commands to save etc., but no menus are visible due to the 'ProjectorName.osx' title bar. I can switch to Word with Apple-tab, but not by clicking in the Word window(s).
    A few extra notes:
    • The projector resizes the screen to 800x600, but even with this feature disabled the problem persists.
    • There appears to be a very strong link between creating a Full Screen projector and whether the problem manifests itself or not. All projectors created with Full Screen checked now have the problem (along with a few non-Full Screen). Unfortunately I need to lose any title/menu bar, therefore need to use Full Screen projectors.
    • The problem has just arisen; essentially identical projectors (ie. differences are only in graphics) have run OK.
    • We have used a couple of different xtras to open the files, for reasons unconnected with this issue. However we have been using BuddyAPI for a while, so I am reasonably sure that the problem is not related to this.
    • Ensuring that unnecessary apps are closed, to ensure plenty of free memory, makes no difference.

    > now my oracle is up but not able to login in sap.
    Your system is hosed up.
    > one is : oraclesri102isql*plus service is not getting started.
    That service is not important for a SAP system.
    Chintan,
    it is not supported to make changes to a domain structure after you installed the system (see the given note). That's why your SAP system is not coming up, all filesystem-, registry and user permissions are invalid.
    The only way to resurrect your system is to reinstall it.
    Configure first the operating system (as standalone or in a domain) - and then install the SAP system, not vice versa.

  • /3 Gb switch, Windows Server 2003 and no imagecfg.exe!

    The Imagecfg tool is not provided in the support toolkit for Windows Server 2003. How do I then implement the /3 Gb switch for oracle.exe and tnslsnr.exe as has been recommended in Metalink notes 116076.1 and 46001.1?
    Also does this not appear a bit confusing:
    Note 1036312.6 states:
    On Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0, Microsoft provides the 4GT (4GB
    RAM Tuning) support so an application can utilize up to 3GB virtual memory
    instead of the 2GB limit as it used to be.
    The Windows NT service pack 3 provides the same feature but is not officially
    claimed in the SP3 readme.txt.
    The Oracle 8.0.3 release and higher have already been enabled to take
    advantage of the new feature.
    However a more recently updated note (46001.1) states:
    d) Configuring the Oracle process to make allocations greater than 2GB
    The Oracle database supports the 4GT tuning feature of Windows NT Server,
    Enterprise Edition from release 7.3 onwards, allowing it to access up to 3GB
    of virtual address space per instance. It may be the case that certain
    releases / patch sets do not have the 4GT flag set even though the release
    does support the feature. To check the executable has been correctly enabled
    run :
    imagecfg oracle.exe
    oracle.exe contains the following configuration information:
    Subsystem Version of 4.0
    Image can handle large (>2GB) addresses
    Stack Reserve Size: 0x100000
    Stack Commit Size: 0x1000
    For executables that do not have the flag set, run :
    imagecfg -l oracle.exe
    The above settings will only take affect if the boot.ini has been set up as
    described in Note 46053.1.
    So, do we really require to run the imagecfg utility (which is no longer provided in 2003 server support tool package) for versions higher than 8.1.7? Which tool should I then use instead of imagecfg for Windows Server 2003?

    I think one of the reasons behind those Notes is that in older releases support for the feature existed and despite 7.3.4 or 8.0.3 and onwards had the capabilities, some patch sets or patches "forgot" this. The first Note you references says
    "There may be a case where you are running 8.0.4.3.7 on NT and the 3gig address issue required the use of imagecfg to access the larger address space. One major reason might be the fact that patch sets may have brought in an executeable without the flag being set."
    Sometimes it can be really hard to get notes on metalink to add upp, maybe mostly because there is so much info to maintain and cope with...
    I dont think you should worry much about it. In any case, the developer/vendor who controls the code need to make sure the program is in reality large address aware and set flags accordingly.
    If you want to check, to report something back to Oracle Support, there is dumpbin.exe to verify image header available in Visual Studio. Dont know of a public alternative.
