Use of the Ctrl key

Hi all
does anyone know of a method whereby I can use the Ctrl key (or Alt/Shift) as a trigger for an action?

Which version of Firefox do you use?
You have a weird user agent:
* Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0; hi, Mom) Gecko/20020604
Try to reset the preferences.

Why are all my keyboard shortcuts using the "Alt" key instead of the "Ctrl" key? I'm using Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts default to using "Alt" key instead of the "Ctrl" key (so, for example, opening a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).
I noticed that this is even true for copying and pasting within Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P are the only commands that work).
Any idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

Thanks, eveostay! That worked. (And for the record, what a crazy user agent string...)

Is there a way to change the Alt key to the Ctrl Key?

Is there a to access the Alt key screen functions (the quick Eyedrop, (holding Alt and click the color) and the Zoom in and Zoom out (holding alt alt and scrolling with the mouse wheel) with other key instead of alt, for instance the Ctrl key?
It is really annoying to me to deal with it, because in my shortcut configuration I use the keys "Q" and "W" to increace and decrease the size of the brush and the keys "A" and "S" to increase and decrease the hardness of the brush. What happens is that when I hold Alt to pick a color or to zoom, it calls the menu bar's shortcuts (it underlines the menu shortcuts) , so If I do so and press "S" it calls the Select menu, which is not what I'm trying to do.
In Gimp, the pick a color and zoom in and zoom out actions are configured to work with the Ctrl key instead of Alt, so the shortcut menus are not an issue. Is there anyway to switch it to Ctrl? Is there anyway to make the Alt stop calling the menu bar?
Thanks

Hello, Other than a keyboard remapping software, you might be out of luck.

Help: How Can I turn off a sound bound to the CTRL key?

Hi, I made a small Unity3D game using the CTRL key as the fire button. There I added a sound to the CTRL key. Now all of a sudden that key always makes that sound "on mouse release". No help even after deleting the sound file, clearing the PR Ram, making restarts. OS X Yosemite on my iMac 5k will always make that sound initially only active during the game. Any help appreciated. Thanks Rolf

Problem found - there was a hidden web page open with a similar game that accepted the CTRL key. :-)

How do I check if the ctrl key is pressed from within a mouseReleased actio

How do I check if the ctrl key is pressed from within a mouseReleased action?
      addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter() {
         public void mouseReleased( final MouseEvent e ) {
           // If ctrl button is held down and mouse is clicked, do something
         }};

Found it, I think
    e.isControlDown()

Is there a hidden screw or latch under the ctrl key to release the keyboard on the HP ENVY dv6-7250?

The keyboard is damaged and I want to replace it.
I have a HP Envy dv6 Notebook PC Model # C2L44UA#ABL with S/N {Content Removed}
i believe the part number is B6R23AV WIN 8 MULTI lANGUAGE 64.1.1 dv6 for the keyboard.
I removed all the screws and separated the top surface that holds the keyboard but something under the ctrl key is holding everything together.
Is there a release mechanism in that area. If so how does it work?

Maybe this will help:

It sounds as if the s key is dedicated to some other use, check and see whether it has been designated to perform some task.

I was entering a website a wanted to visit which required an underscore,

Using the CTRL key in Screen Sharing

I am using native OS X screen sharing to share my Mac OS X Lion iMac screen on my Mac OS X Snow Leopard MacBook Pro. I am using it to run Xcode since I can't run the latest version of Xcode on my Snow Leopard machine (2006 MacBook Pro). It works great with one exception - I can't seem to find out how to do a CTRL-drag operation. In Xcode, you use CTRL-drag to link objects to their controller. It works fine if I perform the operation on the iMac that is sharing its screen. But it doesn't do anything on the MacBook Pro screen sharing session. Is there a way to get the CTRL-drag to work in the screen sharing session?

I have the same issue with Interface Builder. It's weird because CTRL-click works.

Remapping the ctrl key

hi,
i am using LogMeIn Free for Mac to be able to remotely connect to my Mac from the outside world (typically from a PC). as i am starting to dabble in xcode, i have come across a problem: this utility doesnt seem to map the Control key. in the preferences of the app, you can choose to remap the Alt and Cmd keys to a Windows alternative, but nothing for Ctrl.
in xcode, i need to Control-click objects in order to link them. so the question is if its possible to add an additional keyboard shortcut on the Mac, to something the LogMeIn client will be able to handle?
alternatively, is it possible to programmatically create these "bindings"? all text that i am following so far uses the far simpler Ctrl-click method.
regards
jingo_man

Thanks for your reply Peter. I restored defaults, and restarted twice, but still nothing. Both keys work on an external keyboard, so I think that it's a mechanical fault. I'll send it back next week when this job has finished- let's hope that it's not part fo a faulty batch.

Selecting Multiple rows using Shift or Ctrl key

Hi all,
I have a requirement as given:
Unless a user has used a shift or Ctrl key the multiple selection of rows should not be allowed in a tableview . Can anyone help me in this regard??
Thanks in Advance,
Chandana.

Thank you for letting me know this. Is the reason I can use the "Shift+[letter]" shortcut key because a browser doesn't have this as a default option??
Do you have recommendations of workarounds when trying to create courseware to exactly match what someone would do in the application? Any feedback on this topic is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Tab key used as the shortcut key when using a text entry box

When I use the Tab key as my shortcut key for a text entry box, it works fine in preview mode but does not work in the web browser preview mode. I have tried to understand how I can take an existing project that is built for web browser application and make the tab key work. The only thing I have been able to make my text feild entry take me to the next slide is to have the user click Enter instead of Tab and that is not the typical way we move between fields in the real application. So....simulations is not accurate. Can you give me step-by-step instructions on how to correct this problem in an already existing project?

I think that you need to disable "Seamless Tabbing" in your file for it to work when published.
You need to edit the HTML file that launches your course manually.
Open your HTML file in notepad or equivalent
Between the <object> </object> tags add:
<param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="false">
Save the HTML file again

How to get used to the touch keys on iPhone 4S?

My sister just switched from her old BlackBerry and bought a new iPhone 4S. She loves most of the experience except she has trouble texting with the touch keys. Her BlackBerry had a physical keyboard, so this is probably why she has trouble texting on iPhone.
Do any of you have any suggestions on getting used to the touchscreen keyboard?

Brookstone has a keyboard case for the iPhone. This might be an option to consider.

Google has disable the use of the api key

I've setup a google static map using the api key v3 in this site www.pequenonim.es.
Problem is Firefox is giving an error message:
" Google ha inhabilitado el uso del API de Google Maps para esta aplicación. La clave proporcionada no es una clave de API de Google válida, o no está autorizada para la versión 3 del API de JavaScript de Google Maps en este sitio. Si eres el propietario de esta aplicación, puedes consultar cómo se obtiene una clave válida aquí: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key"
Something like Google has disabled the use of the API for this application. The key is not valid or is not authorized for version 3 of the api of javascript in this site.
Measurements already taken:
API v3 and API v2 enable on api code panel
Reset firefox
Clean cookies and cache of firefox.
Map actually works on Chrome and IE10.

Is it the map on the bottom of the main page? It works for me in Firefox 24 on Windows 7 from California.
You may want to look at the code in Firefox's source viewer, starting a few lines below id="bottom2", as there are some stray <html>, <head>, and <body> tags that suggest a template or plugin isn't fully compatible with your page.
