Use of ESC key to close e-mail

HI All,
Is it possible to set up Mail to allow use of ESC key to close an open e-mail ? The best shortcut i can find to do this is cmd-w. All other (non-apple) email applications I have used allow the use of the ESC key.
Thanks

Very fast, actually. I too have graphics turned off. HTML of course is already there, as it is part of the message. I would say 90-95% of the spam is trapped and moved to the junk folder by Mail, so the workflow becomes read/delete read/delete .... with an occasional read/reply/send/delete or glance/junk. I can see no reason for actually opening the message in a separate window.

How do I get the esc key to work without having to use shift esc?

Just got a new iMac and migrated everything from my old iMac but one thing is not working. I use to be able to use the esc key to back out of full screen mode or deselect items. It only works now if I use shift and esc. I would like to set it so I can just hiy esc and not shift esc.
Any help woul dbe appreciated.
Jeff

Maybe some third party software interference. Try a guest account or SafeBoot to diagnose.
different app behave differently, for ex Firefox: command-shift-F

ESC key does not work when Photoshop CS4 is opened

Hi everyone!
It seems that everytime my Photoshop CS4 is opened, my ESC key ceases to function. When I close the PS, it starts to function again. Running Windows 7 64-bit. I've tried cleaning my registry and reloading PS. Not that critical, but it got me to notice that I use my ESC key more often than I thought
Any thought?
Thanks!

Using the Escape key in simulations and assessments

I have recently recorded a simulation/assessment that needs to use the Escape key to close a pop-up window and returns to the main application window. The recording has not been an issue; however, using Escape with failure messages is proving to be tricky. Here's what I have discovered while resording my sim/assess, along with my questions:
When I press Escape, Captivate captures this keystroke as a shortcut attached to a Click Box. This works on the assessment side, but fails to produce a failure message on the assessment side when the user does not press the Escape key.
I need to produce a failure message when the user does not press Escape.
Can I storethe unicode value of Escape in a TEB variable and then use an if . . . else statement to either advance to the next slide (success action) or produce a caption that mimics a failure caption? If so, how would I write this item?
Could I use a Loss of focus trigger instead?
Does Captivate have a variable that records a unicode value (Something like CPKeyPressedValue"?
Are there any other alternatives?

In the case of buttons and clickbox objects, where clicking is allowed, the failure is normally registered when the user CLICKS OUTSIDE the button or click box. The evaluation of Success/Fail happens on the click.
In the case of a Text Entry Box, the interactivity is all about what the user enters into the text field and whether or not it is correct/incorrect when compared to approved answer text. The main purpose of the TEB object is not centered on the clicking of the button that accompanies the text field. The button just provides a way to trigger the Success/Failure evaluation of the user interaction with the text field.
Since you have deselected Allow Mouse Click for your click box, you've effectively made it mandatory to use keystrokes to trigger the Success/Failure evaluation of the object. So clicking outside the box is no longer going to do anything because Allow Mouse Click is off. You'll get a failure message on this click box now for many (but not all) keystrokes that are not the one assigned.
By the way, using the Escape key as a keystroke if you Preview the project in Captivate just shuts down the preview (as you've probably already found out).

Can I disable the ESC key in camera raw?

When working in Photoshop in general, I've gotten into the habit of using the ESC key to get out of a tool I'm currently using, but when using Camera Raw, this has the consequence of closing the image I've been working on without saving any of the edits I've made. I've tried looking in the keyboard shortcut assignments for it, but no luck. Maybe it's a Windows-wide setting, or a per-application setting that can be set? And yes, I know I can stop hitting the ESC key, but that's not the answer I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I guess you don't understand the fact the in ACR, the ESC key is doing EXACTLY WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO...exit without changes...
And CTRL+S in PS also does what it's supposed to do as the programmers assigned it, but I got tired of accidentally hitting it when I meant to hit CTRL+D, so I removed the CTRL+S assignment from the Save command. I wonder why the programmers gave us access to the shortcut key assignments. Maybe it's so that we can make or remove assignments that work best for us, and not just accept what someone else thought worked best?

In this case, that could very well be true.

ParentDialog disposing on pressing ESC key on JOptionPane????????

I am using a JDialog which disposes on pressing ESC keu, i am also using JOptionPane for
popping up some messages from this dialog. Problem is when i use the ESC key for disposing
JOptionPane my dialog is also getting disposed. I am creating dialog like
public MyDialog(Frame rootFrame)
super( rootFrame,true );
addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
if ( e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE)
dispose();
I am not getting the problem. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
Perhaps you should try using e.consume() in your event handler...
Another way is to let the parent frame know, in its event handler, which is the source object from where the event originated.
something like:
   // Before showing the dialog
   yourDialog.setName("yourDialog");
   yourDialog.setVisible(true);
   // in the frame's event handler
   public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
      if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE)
            Component compsource = (Component)e.getSource();
            String compname = compsource.getName();
            if (compname.equals("yourDialog")) {
               ((Dialog)compsource).dispose();
   } I hope these few ideas will help!
Regards.

You have a class that extends JDialog and has a JDialog member variable (very confusing), and no main(...) method. How is the class used as a JDialog?
To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE that clearly demonstrates your problem. Note that this should be executable and should not contain any extraneous code.

'''Ctrl + W''' are the keys to close an open tab.
There is an addon which uses Esc key.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/close-tab-on-esc/

When i try and open a tab that is the same as the page im currently on i closes it self. not when i type the full address, but when i use the arrow keys to select the url and press enter

when I try and open a tab that is the same as the page I'm currently on it closes it self. Not when I type the full address, but when I use the arrow keys to select the url and press enter. I just don't like typing in the same address 5 times, when the older Firefox worked.

How to close a popup using a function key in adf + Jquery

Hello All,
I want to display some error message using function key so I have used javascript function
*function showText(event) {*
var k = event.getKeyCode();
*if (k == 115) {*
------------------------------------------CODE-------------------------------------------
This is working fine on click of F4 it is invoking a popup and inside that popup in dialog it is showing some error messages. The property modal of dialog is true. So that user should not be able to navigate to main form until error message is closed.
Now on click of F6 I want that error message to be closed. When I added af:clientListener on popup or dialog type="keyDown" is not available.
So I thought using jquery for this. I have created a form.js file inside that I have written:
*$(function first()*
* jQuery('*').bind('keydown', 'F6', function (evt){closePopup();evt.stopPropagation();return false;});*
*function closePopup(){*
* alert("Do you want to close the error message");*
I have also added jquery.hotkeys.js and jquery-latest.js file.
My question here is How can i find that popup or dialog inside that jquery function and close it?
On click of F6 I am getting that alert Do you want to close the error message but after that how can I find the popup or dialog and close it?
I am new to jquery still I tried using some code:
var dialog = event.getSource();
var popup = dialog.findComponent("p1");
popup.close();
and
var output1 = AdfUIComponent.findComponent("p1");
output1.close();
and
curElm = document.activeElement;
var frm = curElm.close();
But none of them worked.
Please help
Thanks

Hi,
this whitepaper: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf has an example of registering keyboard keys on a global level (see page 36). So you would define a key to close dialogs in general. The paper also explains how to search and find components. Note that you should always work with the ADF Faces client side API and never against the generated markup or DOM (which in fact your code does)

Click produces menus instead of desired action. Menu can be cleared using esc key, but additional clicks produce more menus until I hit the lucky click that yields the desired action.

Magic mouse & trackpad "clicks" produce menus instead of desired actions. Menus can be cleared using esc key, but additional clicks usually produce menus until I hit the magic click that initiates the desired action. How can I deactivate the menus that appear?

Sounds like your left click is set to right click. Read this: http://magicmousehelp.com/change-primary-click-magic-mouse/

Using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

Isn't HotMail still POP3 mail only (i.e. no IMAP support)? If that is still the case, then your device is working correctly. The folders you made are a feature of the web tool for hotmail, and are not part of the POP3 supported email protocol. Only IMAP mail supports on-server mail subfolders, and those can be accessed from the iPhone mail client. But POP3 is limited to the inbox solely, as that is literally the only folder that sits on the mail server (your others are on Microsofts web server and supported via the web mail tool).

How to use "Esc" key to call a function in scripting

I mean when I'm executing a script,if I want break a loop, I can just press the "Esc" key.I think this is very handly.But I also want to call a function when "Esc" is pressed,is this possible, and how can I do this?

Taken from Peter Kahrel's UI guide.
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/scriptui-2-0.pdf
So escape could be captured by if(myWindow.show()==2){do stuff }?
the user clicks OK (which in this script corresponds to pressing Enter) or they can click
Cancel (which is the equivalent of pressing Escape). The window's behaviour is
this: if the user presses OK, the line myWindow.show ( ) returns 1, if they press
Esc, that line returns 2. We capture this as follows:
if (myWindow.show () == 1)
var myName = myText.text;
else
exit ();
