When I use the arrow keys in firefox to go forward and back, the cursor erases tiny bits of the letters.

Even within this text field as I type, all is normal, but backspacing using the arrow keys (and then also forward spacing using the arrow keys as I return to typing) erases bits of the text. Once I begin typing again in this field, the erased components restore to normal. This effect can be captured in a screenshot. Upon closer inspection, there appears to be a second invisible cursor, one full character to the right of the visible cursor. So when arrow backspacing, the invisible cursor trails the visible one, wrecking the text behind. When forward spacing using the arrow keys the text gets wrecked in front of the visible cursor.

I am guilty of not following up. The above solution "appeared" to work for me until I realized that now, the text does not erase bits on the same line as my cursor but erases any text on the line below my cursor... so if I am typing above other text, these semi-invisible marks chop up the text below where I am backspacing. Yes, I know - put this in David Letterman's, "Museum of the hard to believe".

JSlider -- catch when arrow keys are pressed

Hi,
With a JSlider, when it has focus and a user presses the left/right arrow keys ..the thumb on the slider is moved to a new value. I tried adding a keyListener but that didnt work...how can I catch when a left/right arrow key is pressed??
thanks

You can take over the binding, but you will be responcible for the action....

          slid.setMajorTickSpacing( 20 );
        slid.getInputMap( ).put( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT, 0, false),
                                   "RIGHT_ARROW" );

Keys on the left side repeat the up arrow key

I have an apple wireless keyboard (A1314) that came with a mid 2010 imac. The keyboard pairs with the imac OK and most of the keys work fine but the up/down arrow keys don't work and some of the keys on the far left repeat the up arrow. The repeating up arrow continues until I hit the return key. A usb keyboard works fine on the imac and the wireless keyboard exibits the same problem on my iPad.

To reule out software problem try:
- A reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem thismn it would appear to be due to a hadware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

CS5 illustrator 'shift arrow'/cmd shift arrow' keys wont work! (Help!)

Hi,
I have just installed the CS5 web suite and are loving it so far, however for some strange reason when I try to move an object or point by holding down the shift - arrrow or cmd shift arrow key, (as you do) nothing happens!
Have tried restarting etc but to no avail... Works fine in Photoshop and other apps, but no go in ai... Any suggestions please as it's really annoying!
(Never come across this before in previous versions..)
Thanks,
Dean

It actually seem to have worked for you as well as you cannot copy and paste the settings folder from one version to another since the prefernces are tied to a different folder so if you moved or trashed the folder or replaced it in some way like changing the name of CS 4 to CS 5 then all you did is the same as above since Illustrator just created a new set of preferences and settings anyway.
So the above actually worked for you once you quit and restarted Illustrator.
Here look from my preferences folder CS 4 and CS 5 living confidentially side by side.
BTW if you just removed the preference file within this folder you did not follow the instructions correctly you have to get rid of the whole settings folder.

Down Arrow key stopped working and the Shift 2 for "@" stopped working?

Only had the MacAir for a Month.
Other arrow keys work fine. then the Shift 2 "@" won't work now.
What the route for fixing this problem

Hi BGreg,
Thanks for your speedy reply! That document is useful however how do I get the keycap off, as it only explains how to get the keycap back on. Again I've had a look for info pertaining to getting the key off and haven't found anything, does anyone know where this document is?
As a side note was in a store today looking at the latest 17" macbook pro. Soooooo nice. Think it might be time for an upgrade next year!

Do the 'keys' on each side of the Envy4500 light up when printer is on?

I have just bought two new Envy4500s and on both on them, the 'key's (i.e. up/down, 'ok', etc.) on each side of the display screen do not light up when the printer is on. HP rep said they should but on neither machine do they light up. Thus, all the 'keys' are essentially impossible to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello , Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum. I do see that you're curious about the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer's display. I would like to help. The arrow keys do not light up when the printer's powered on, but as you can see when you look at your own models, they are clearly marked. I hope this helps. Regards,

DW CS4 shift+arrow keys no longer work?

I use Dreamweaver a fair amount. Just recently when I want to
highlight a bunch of code while in code view, the shift + Arrow
keys no longer work. The first letter is highlighted, but as I
press the arrow a second time nothing is highlighted. This problem
is only in Dreamweaver (CS4) and not any other application. I can't
shift+UpArrow as an example.
This is something I do ALL the time while coding and now it
just stopped working.
I looked at the Keyboard Shortcuts and all the Shift+ArrowKey
are still listed so it's not that.
I looked at the Preferences and can't see anything that looks
wrong.
I have rebooted and still this issue persists.
This is ONLY in Dreamweaver and in fact only in Code view
window. If I Split the screen OR use Design view, in the design
window I can use shift+Arrow to highlight text as normal.
Any ideas????

I just saw your answer. I looked in my preferences in the Library and there is a shortcut folder, but it is totally empty. I have a funny feeling either the patch I ran from Adobe knocked it out or running "Carbon Copy" to copy one drive to the other knocked it out.
I'm wondering if there is any way I can grab a copy of this folder from somewhere else and put it back into my system. I'm on a Mac so it would have to be compatible with a Mac running Tiger.

I downlaoded Firefox 4 and now it won't let me open up on another screen..I have 2 screens side by side!!I used open up mulitable browsers and move them from screen to screen!Now i cant..Only opens to screen 1!!

Before i downloaded Firefox 4, i could open up mulitable screens and move them from screen to screen..I have one computer with 2 screens side by side..Say i open up your browser and then open up another browser session,I could then move that browser session to the other screen,,Great for researching and looking at different websites side by side!!Now i cant even shrink it and move that browser to the other side(other screen)..Before i could!!!

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really

In Dreamweaver CC code view, how do I reenable shift-control+arrow keys to select words?

In previous versions of Dreamweaver (for Windows but presumably for other operating systems as well) and in pretty much any other text editor (except maybe for vi/m but including the one I'm using to write this message in now). I can select characters using shift plus the arrow keys and select words by pressing shift-control plus the arrow keys. It seems you now have to use shift-alt to select words. I don't want to have to undo about 25 years of habit just for Dreamweaver.
Please say this is an easy setting I can uncheck somewhere! Thanks!

That is an issue that has come up a lot lately...
Make sure to add your voice to the others here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform and hopefully in the next release they'll put it back to normal.

Problems with scrolling through premiere timeline using arrow keys and shift arrow

This is a really weird problem in cs6.
When I load a clip into the source monitor i can scroll throughit fine using the arrow keys, and shift arrows and my shuttle pro controller.
When I place the same clip on to the timeline it really struggles to scroll using the arrows or the shuttle pro, its really kerky and sdlwo to scroll the timeline, which is really frstrating, becuase it can play the footage fine in the source monitor.
The clips will playback fine, but scrolling through them just doesn't work as it should any ideas?
Cheers
Mike

I changed my shuttle settings to make the shuttling more responsive:
1 - 5 times second
2 - 10
3 - 15
4 - 30
5 - 45
6 - 60
7 - fast as possible
At least I changed this a long time ago - don't know if these are the defaults or not.
It'll only shuttle as fast as your system is responsive of course - so if you get instantaneous scrubbing by dragging the CTI in the timeline with the mouse, you should be able to get good performance with the shuttle. Of course that performance depends on the type of footage and how demanding it is on CPU to decode and whether youi have effects applied etc etc etc.
I edit pretty much exclusively with Sony XDCAM EX 1080P 25 footage we've shot on EX3 and PMW-350 etc and I get very very fast performance on the timeline - no issues at all i7 6 core 4GHz with 24Gb ram and fairly fast RAID array for footage.

When I press the down arrow on the right side of my location bar and history is displayed, how can I get it to display history from most recently accessed site on down?

When I click the down arrow on the right side of the location bar (without having typed a full or partial URL in, I am just clicking the down arrow) a history dropdown is displayed which shows 12 website URLs that I have visited, but there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason as to what is being displayed. How can I cause this dropdown to display sites visited from the most recently accessed on down? And how can I cause more than 12 URLs to be listed in this dropdown? Why I can't I scroll down through my entire history in chronological order from most recently accessed site?

Screen Scrolls in games with arrow keys

My kids play a lot of games online. I can't lock the screen or whatever you want to call it. If the game requires the arrow keys to move the character, it scrolls the screen until they can't see the game. I have tried to click on the flash player game window but it still scrolls to the bottom of the page when you pich the arrow keys. Any help? Thanks!

What is "it"? Did you create the game in Flash, or is this an online game?

The scroll bar on the right is gone. the only way i can move the screen up or down is by using the arrow keys. happened after i updated software is there something i missing

The scroll bar on the right is gone the only way I can move the screen up or down is with the arrow keys Why how do i get it back and have it stay there

Yep. For all us spreadsheet geeks, this is a real sinker. Anyway, here's my workaround. Not free, unfortunately. I have a macro program called QuicKeys installed on my Mac that I've used for countless years, and which I highly recommend for other reasons. Anyway, one of QuicKeys' many features is simulating a scroll wheel using the keyboard. I have it simulating a cell-by-cell scroll using cmd-arrow keys. The only drawback is that I have to release the cmd key each time I want to move another cell.
