Using Escape as a hot key?

Hi Guys,
I am working on an application where we are running into some inconsistencies in the use of our hotkeys that makes it confusing for the end user (some pages alt-c triggers "continue", and sub pages that do not contain the continue button it means triggers "cancel"). What we would like to do is use the escape key as the hotkey for cancel, anybody have some insight on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the answer, and I can do this with the windows format, or is there an Apple utility?
Anyways, thanks very much for the answer.
Daniel.

Creating Elementary Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Elementary search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for elementary search helps appears.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the selection method of the search help.
You can enter the name of a table or a view (database view, projection view or help view) here. If you enter a table that has a text table, the name of the text table is automatically entered in the corresponding field.
Using the input help (F4 help), select fields of the selection method as parameter in the Search help parameter area. Select the fields that should be used in the dialog box for value selection or in the hit list.
If the selection method is a table that has a text table, both the fields of the table and the fields of the text table are offered in the input help.
The data element of the parameter is automatically copied from the selection method. The data element defines the output attributes and the F1 help of the parameter in the hit list and in the dialog box for value selection.
You can assign the parameter another data element. To do so, select the Mod flag. The Data element field is now ready for input. Then select a data element with the input help (F4 help). Only data elements whose data type, length and number of decimal places is the same as those of the previous data element can be assigned.
This removes the link between the data element of the search help parameter and the data element of the selection method field having the same name. If you cancel the Mod flag, the data element of the assigned table field is used again.
Define the attributes of the search help parameters.
Select the IMP flag if it is an import parameter. Select the EXP flag if it is an export parameter.
You can define the dialog for the input help with the fields LPos, SPos and SDis. Enter the parameter position in the hit list in LPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the hit list.
Enter the parameter position in the dialog box for value selection in SPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the dialog box for value selection.
Set the SDis flag if the parameter should be a pure display field in the dialog box for value selection. The user is thus informed that the contents of the parameter restrict the value, but he cannot change this restriction. This makes sense for example when the parameter is an import parameter or if it has a default value.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
Select the dialog type of the search help.
The dialog type defines how the hit list is displayed in the input help.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign the search help a development class.
Choose .
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Result
The search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred during activation, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Other Options
Assign a hot key: If the search help is to be accessed with a hot key, you must enter a one-place ID in the Hot key field. All the elementary search helps contained in a collective search help should have different short cuts.
Assign a search help exit: In exceptions, you might have to change the standard flow defined by the search help with a search help exit. In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
Test the search help: You can test the flow of an input help defined by the elementary search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with .

Example for Search Helps
Each customer of a carrier (see Flight Model) or of a travel agency has a customer number. You want to find a search option for this customer number.
The user must be offered two different search paths.
The user should be able to search for the customer number using the customer data, such as the name and address.
The user should be able to search for the customer number using existing customer bookings.
You can provide the required search option by creating a collective search help SCUSTOM. Two elementary search helps SCUSTOM_NAME (for searching with the customer data) and SCUSTOM_BOOK (for searching with the existing bookings) are created for the actual search paths. These elementary search helps are included in the collective search help.
Elementary Search Help SCUSTOM_NAME
This elementary search help should enable you to search for the customer number using the name and address (street, city, country). All this data is contained in table SCUSTOM. Table SCUSTOM must therefore be selected as the selection method of the elementary search help.
You now have to decide which fields of the selection method are needed for the input help process. These are the fields that should appear either in the dialog box for restricting values or in the hit list.
In the dialog box for restricting values, the user should be able to restrict values with the customers name and address, i.e. the fields for the street, city and country. These fields as well as the customers number (the information to be found must always be in the hit list) should appear in the hit list. The fields ID, NAME, STREET, CITY and COUNTRY of table SCUSTOM must be included in the search help as parameters.
The parameter ID is declared to be an import parameter. A pattern entered in the corresponding field of a screen template can therefore be used directly for the value selection. Restrictions for the other parameters of the search help must be entered in the dialog box for value selection.
All the parameters of the search help are declared to be export parameters. As a result, all the parameters of the hit list can be returned to the screen template if the corresponding fields are available there.
Elementary Search Help SCUSTOM_BOOK
This elementary search help should enable you to search for the customer number using existing customer bookings. The flight data for the booking (flight number, date of flight, city of departure, city of arrival) and the name of the customer should be used for the search here. This data is distributed on the tables SBOOK (bookings), SCUSTOM (name) and SPFLI (cities of departure and arrival). The following graphic shows the relationship between the relevant tables, that is the existing foreign key relationships.
In this case a database view SCUS_BOOK must be created on these three tables (see Example for Views) as selection method. The tables in the view (join) are linked as defined by the existing foreign key relationships (see Foreign Key Relationship and Join Condition).
In the dialog box for restricting values, the user should be able to restrict the search for booking data with the carrier ID, customer name, city of departure and city of arrival The flight date and of course the customer number should also be displayed in the hit list. Fields CARRID, FLDATE, CUSTOMID, NAME, CITYFROM and CITYTO of view SCUS_BOOK must be included in the elementary search help as parameters of the search help.
The parameter CUSTOMID is declared to be an import parameter. All the parameters of the search help are export parameters.
Collective Search Help SCUSTOM
The two elementary search helps are now included in the collective search help. You must now allocate the parameters of the elementary search helps to the parameters of the collective search help.
The parameter ID of the collective search help is marked as an import parameter. All the parameters are export parameters. The values can thus be copied from the hit list to the screen template.
Attaching the Search Help
In order to be able to use the search help SCUSTOM in screen templates, the attachment of the search help (see Attaching Search Helps with Screen Fields) must be defined.
Attaching to the Check Table SCUSTOM
The search help should be available for all the fields that are checked against table SCUSTOM. The search help therefore must be attached to table SCUSTOM. The search help parameters must therefore be assigned to the key fields of table SCUSTOM.
The parameter ID of search help SCUSTOM is here assigned to the field ID of table SCUSTOM in this field assignment. No assignment is possible for all other parameters of the search help (NAME, CITY and COUNTRY) since table SCUSTOM does not contain this information as key fields.
Attaching to a Field of Table SCUSTOM
In order that the search help is available when the field SCUSTOM-ID is directly copied to the input template, you have to attach the search help to this field.
With this type of attachment, all the parameters of the search help can be assigned to the corresponding fields of the table.
Structure of an Elementary Search Help
An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help. You can define the following components of this flow in the search help:
where does the data displayed in the hit list come from (selection method)
what information should be displayed in the dialog box for value selection and in the hit list (search help parameters)
what field contents can be taken into account for hit list selections and which values in the hit list can be returned to the screen fields (search help parameters)
what dialog steps should be executed in the input help (dialog behavior)
Selection Method
The possible input values displayed for a field in the hit list are determined at runtime by database selection.
If all the data required in the hit list comes from one single table, you only have to select this table (or a projection view on this table) as selection method. If there is a text table for the table, its fields are also available in the input help. A table entry is linked with the corresponding text by the existing foreign key.
If the data needed in the hit list comes from more than one table, you must link these tables with a view (database view or help view). This view must be defined as the selection method.
If the underlying tables are client-specific, the client field must be contained in the view. Otherwise selection for the input help would be for all clients.
Search Help Parameters
A search help has an interface consisting of parameters. These parameters define the fields of the selection method that should be used in the input help.
A parameter of the search help must correspond to each field in the dialog box for value selection and to each field of the hit list. The parameters are copied from the corresponding selection method, that is they always have the same name as the corresponding field of the selection method.
If the search is restricted with a parameter of the search help, this is used in the data selection for formulating a WHERE condition for the field of the selection method with the same name. Vice versa, the parameters of the search help are assigned the contents of the fields of the selection method having the same name.
The search help should not contain any parameters for the clients. In the input help, selection is automatically in the logon client of the user.
A data element must be assigned to each search help parameter, that is a type is always defined for the search help parameters.
A search help can contain further parameters that do not correspond to any field of the selection method. This is normally only necessary if the standard flow of the input help described by the search help still has to be modified by with a search help exit.
Import and Export Parameters
When an input help is called, the entries that the user already made in the input template are taken into consideration. For example, if a user calls the input help for the flight number and already specified the carrier, of course only the numbers of flights of this carrier should be offered.
On the other hand, if the user selects one row of the hit list, more than one field of the input template might have to be filled with data from the selected row of the hit list. For example, if the flight number is obtained from the hit list, the city of departure and the destination should also be returned in the screen template.
The interface of a search help defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned in the input template.
A parameter of a search help can be classified as:
Import parameters: Parameters with which context information from the processed input template (screen) may be copied to the help process.
Export parameters: Parameters with which values from the hit list may be returned to the input template.
A parameter can simultaneously be an input and an export parameter. A search help can also contain parameters that are neither import nor export parameters. Such parameters could be required for the internal input help process, for example.
When you attach a search help, you must define where the import parameters of the search help get their values from and the fields in which the contents of the export parameters are returned. See also Value Transport for Input Helps.
Description of the Online Behavior
The online behavior defines the steps executed in the input help process and the structure of the hit list and dialog box for value selection.
The dialog type defines whether or not the dialog box for value selection should be displayed. If you want to skip the dialog box for value selection, the hit list is displayed directly after calling the input help.
When you define an elementary search help, you can define how the dialog box for value selection and the hit list should look. For example, you can define the position of a parameter in the dialog box for value selection here. The column position in which the values of a parameter are displayed in the hit list can also be defined here
Please reward points..

Using 10.5.8 to create use-defined hot keys

I re-use phrases, quite often, and would LOVE to copy and paste them to a hot-key combination like COMMAND -X or CONTROL-M, etc.
How can I define what special key-combinations will do?

Try one of the following:
Typinator
TypeIt4Me
TextExpander
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Hello, i need to use hot Keys to open "Network monitor", Ctrl+Shift+K or F12 opens only "Console" , Thanks

I need to open "Network monitor" by using hot keys, not "Console"

Thanks for help :))

Can I use the audio input to trigger a hot key or apple script?

Hello All,
I am looking for a solution to use a FireWire audio interface to record in multiple tracks in garage band. I am looking to have each track queue up a hot key or a apple script when that track is receiving audio and when the audio stops. for instance if person one is speaking the hot key is activated and stops when they are done talking. And when person 2 starts on a different channel a separate hot key is activated. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks

I realize you are asking specifically about 'defaults', but as they concede in 'man defaults', it may not be the best tool for editing properties in "complex" structures, such as those buried in dicts within arrays, etc.
As an alternative, it looks like in 10.5, '/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy' is now a part of the standard install - 'PlistBuddy' may be more useful for this sort of task.
For example:<pre>
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set Test:0:Name zzzz" /path/to/file.plist</pre>

Using hot keys to speed typing

How can one send "hot key" information to any application (web page, text document, spreadsheet, etc)? For example, say I want to type my e-mail address into a web page or any document by pressing a pre-assigned key combo like "CTRL-e". Maybe type my street address by pressing "CTRL-s" etc.

When you add an item in the text substitution preferences, it will replace the text in the Replace column with the text from the With column. So, looking at the defaults, if you were to type in "(c)" and then hit space, return, or something similar, the "(c)" will be replaced with ©. At one point I experimented with typing "aplsig" at the end of every message here to have a signature inserted. (But I often forgot and then the moderators got on me because the link in my sig went to my personal site where there was a prominent link to my web design site, which could be considered advertising, so I don't do that any more.)
Note, however, that you must enable text substitution in individual apps, and AFAIK it's always off by default. For assistance with that, see:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090914081817955

HOT Key choosing.Please see my code and suggest

Hi,
I am getting this strange behaviour.
I have a cell renderer which displays a list in flwg format:
1.[gif] Text
6.[gif] Text
I have written a small HOT KEY Funtionality.If I press HOT KEYS
1,2 OR 3,focus goes to the concerned elements.
But not got 4,5 or 6?
Can anyone tell me whats wrong if poss?
class MyListCellRenderer extends /*JLabel*/ JPanel
implements ListCellRenderer{
        private JLabel indexLabel;
        private JLabel imageAndText;
        public MyListCellRenderer(){
        indexLabel = new JLabel();
        imageAndText = new JLabel();
        setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,3,0));
        add(indexLabel);
        add(imageAndText);
           setOpaque(true);
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
JList list, Object value,int index,
boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
final JList fJList = list;
indexLabel.setText(String.valueOf(index+1));
imageAndText.setText(value.toString());
if(isSelected){
   setBackground(isSelected ? Color.red : Color.yellow);
   fJList.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
           public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
          int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();
             if (keyCode >= KeyEvent.VK_1 && keyCode <=KeyEvent.VK_9) {
                    System.out.println(keyCode-KeyEvent.VK_0);
                    fJList.setSelectedIndex(keyCode-KeyEvent.VK_1);
                    setBackground(Color.red);
             else {
                  setBackground(list.getBackground());
                  setForeground(list.getForeground());
} // End


If the other suggestions don't work for your situation, I have something else you might try:
I'm not sure if using keyPressed with e.getKeyCode() is returning what you expect (the integer typed) to do your calculation to set the selected index on the list.
Maybe try keyTyped with e.getKeyChar() and then if you can get that as a string, doing a parseInt on it to get an integer to do your calculation (which should be a simple -1) and then set your list index.
1) So, say keyTyped e.getKeyChar() returns the char '1' that you store as a variable char charKeyTyped
2)Then you use String's valueOf(charKeyTyped) and you store it as a variable String stringKeyTyped
3)Then use Integer.parseInt(stringKeyTyped) catching the exception that may occur if it isn't an integer
4)Now take step 3's result and do your calculation and subtracting 1 to get your selected index.
Hope that english explanation makes sense as I wasn't up to writing actual code.

How do you get the hot keys / keyboard shortcuts to work?

I have the free trial version of Photoshop. I am new to Photoshop, I am just starting to learn how to use it. I notice that some of the shortcuts/hot keys don't work.
For example, one basic hot key that does not work is the F7-key. The F7-key opens and closes the layers palette.
Another hot key that does not work is the spacebar. My teacher taught me to hold the spacebar down when you want to move the canvas around. When I am in handtool mode I hold the spacebar down, I then apply pressure on my laptops touchpad, I then slide my finger across my laptops touchpad in order to try and move the canvas, but the canvas does not budge.
Some shortcuts work. For example, tapping the F-key multiple times will expand and reduce the size of Photoshop.
Closing my web browser did not resolve the problem. Updating the software did not resolve the problem.
I am eager to learn Photoshop, but it's hard, and probrably a waste of time, to try and learn Photoshop when some of the softwares hot keys don't work. Anyone have a solution they can offer?
Thank you,
Jennifer
Toshiba X75 / Windows 8 / i7-4700MQ / GeForce GTX770M / 32GB RAM

hello.. i want to ask your something about your laptop... i am actually planing to buy new laptop.Toshiba X75 or MSI GS70 .. i am not gammer. never play game on laptop last 6 years... my laptop 24hrs on.. and i do design... so how is your Toshiba X75 performance for designing.. i read on internet. Toshiba X75 have overheating problem.. but the people complain most of them gammer... as i don't play game on laptop.. will i face same thing ?

How do I turn off hot key commands for the application menu/main nav?

(I am using Photoshop CC on windows 7 64bit)
I continue to have this problem which in many ways slows down my workflow. It is a bit difficult to explain so bare with me here.
When I am working through the different functions and tools like switching from the polygonal lasso tool to duplicating a layer and then nudging the image with the directional keys the application menu/main nav is selected instead of the designated hot key and I need to hit esc twice to exit the main nav selection and go back to the tool I was using... “I did say this would be hard to explain”.
Let me paint a specific scenario that causes this to happen:
I want to create a mirror reflection for a product. I first duplicate the product image, then I flip it vertically and drag it to the bottom of the base image. Then I hit the directional up button to nudge it into place but this doesn’t work because by hitting the directional button ‘File’ from the main nav is selected. In order to return to the ‘move tool’ I need to hit esc twice or hit the mouse button once. This may not sound like a big deal and it’s not but do this 500 times a day for a week with the ‘polygonal lasso tool or PLT’ and tell me it’s not a big deal after that. When using the ‘PLT’ you have no option but to hit the esc button twice because if you click the mouse button you place an anchor for the PLT and chance loosing anything you have already preselected with the PLT.
Anyway, moral of the story is... I have a mouse which is more than proficient in selecting File, Edit, Image, Type and any other main nav query. I would love the hot keys to select just the tools and simply leave the main nav out of it... when I first purchased CS5 this function was not apparent. It was only after an update or maybe I blindly changed a preference and poof... every second hot key I push I select something from the main nav which is a completely pointless and annoying function for me which I have never used and never ever will.
Please Adobe tech masters, help me! I will be forever in your debt.
Cheers,
Tony

Not a problem in the Adobe software. Something is wrong with your input devices or you have something on your system that instates global, system-wide shortcuts that may conflict with application specific ones. You need to figure out what it is.

Satellite L300 - Hot key function is not working

After the superb help I got from Jimi I'm hoping I can solve my last problem, I have changed my OS from Vista to WXP and I have managed to get all drivers working even though some from the Toshiba site dont work like the Wi-Fi, I have managed to acquire from other places. The only one I cannot get to work is the hot keys , It states TOSHIBA COMMON MODULE NOT FOUND! Everything else works o.k. after using Nlite (Cracking Bit Of Kit)
My Laptop Is the Sat L300 - 1AQ Model PSLB8E-OOKOO
Many Thanks for your Help

Hello
Ivan is right. You must install Common modules. It must be installed at first before you start to install any other Toshiba designed tools or utilities.
Common Modules is kind of basic software and all other tools can be installed additionally. Because of that it is very important to install Common Modules first.
Good luck!

Exposé hot keys disabled after Time Machine "Delete all backups of file"

I have been having the same problem that was initially mentioned in this topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5850265#5850265
Namely, sometimes after I restart all of my Exposé and Dashboard hot keys have been turned off (but not the Spaces hotkey, just F9-F12). My hot corners for turning off or on the screensaver work just fine, but I have to manually go in and turn back on my Exposé hot keys. Some people said it was associate with WoW, but I am not running World of Warcraft. This last time it happened (this morning), I had removed all backups of a few files in Time Machine (what's the point of having a backup of a rented movie after the 24 hour viewing period has expired?). I have been looking for a way to report this to Apple, but have been unable thus far.
I just tested it to see if you have to restart, and you do not. About thirty minutes ago I turned all the Exposé hot keys on, and just a minute ago I deleted a backup of a file on my Desktop in Time Machine (by selecting, "Delete all backups of file ______") and the hot keys had been disabled again.
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

Mechanist wrote:
At some point I told Time Machine to get rid of backups of a particular file using the "Delete all backups of ..." option. Time Machine duly deleted the backups of the file and stopped making new ones.
Not exactly. It did delete the existing backups, but didn't make any new ones because the file hasn't changed since then.
The easiest way to get it to back it up is to make a minor change to it (the name or something in the contents), then change it back. Time Machine should back it up on the next backup.
Alternatively, you need to force a "deep scan," where Time Machine compares everything on your system to the backups. Usually, just starting up from your Recovery HD will do that, although sometimes you have to start from it and Repair your internal HD to trigger it.
If you're not sure how to do that, see Using the Recovery HD and/or #6 in Using Disk Utility.

Styles hot keys: Gone in Pages 5???

I use Pages for writing documents with multiple paragraph styles. Assigning them hot keys made life pretty easy (Fn+1,2,3,etc).
In the new Pages not only are the hot keys not working, the Assign Hot Key option from the menu is gone!
Or am I just dense and missing where it went? I cannot believe Apple would eliminate them.

It's incredible! They mjust reinstate the function. Please send them feedback through the program.

Question about hot key to jump between fields in oracle form

say I have bunch of orders to upload,
at the order number field I type in the number
and move the mouse to click on next line to type another number
how can I use some hot key to replace the mouse movement.
I know if use tab key several times you can come to the next line eventually, but is there any better hot key just move to the next line?
my purpose is to automatically upload bunch of orders, and bypass the mouse move, if there is some similar case study material, I really appreciate.
thank you

There is one built-in to move to the next record programatically. Like...
NEXT_RECORD;It is a restricted procedure check the forms help.
In your case can use on KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger.
or if you are uploading from any file or any other source then also you can use this built-in in your code while uploading.
Check the below documentation. Select on your version.

Hot Key doesnt work properly

I Have a problem with my hot keys If I press Fn and F2 if get a nice box appear so as I can pick which mode I want my screen to run at which is great. But when I press Fn and F5 which is suppose to change my screen properties all it is that the screen flick to a different mode which it didnt used to do it used to display a nice little box which I could choose which setting I wanted.
I have installed every update known to man on off the Toshiba web site. I believe I have installed is update to "Hotkey Utilitys for Display Devices hotkey-dd-pa200-xp-280000" but I couldnt tell if it went on ok I clicked on TFnF5.exe but nothing really seamed to happed so I presumed that it was just quick install and I missed it. Also when I do actually change the setting to display on a monitor the setting are never saved.
Does anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong or of what I have done wrong.
Help will be much appreciated
THANK

Hello Johnny
In my opinion there is nothing wrong with your unit. The explanation in previous posting is very good and precise. The FN+F2 key combination help you to change different profile created in Power saver utility. If the unit is connected to AC adapter there is just one profile but you can create you own profile with personal settings.
If the unit use battery power supply you can see (I think) 5 different profile and you can change between them using FN+F2 key combination without starting power tool. Check whole functionality and try to create your own profile under both power supply status.
FN+F5 key combination is just for changing display modus (LCD, LCD+Monitor, Monitor or even TV). That is all what you can do using this key combination. Screen properties will not be shown on this way.
Good luck!

Using Escape as a hot key?
