Using Function Keys for various tasks

Can someone tell me where I can find a list of what the function keys do; especially when used in conjunction with other keys such as control, alt, etc.

System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • Trying to use function keys (like windows) on apple wireless keyboard for ipad, as well as arrow keys.

    I am connecting to my work PC through my ipad. My main program i use for work is a DAS based (ancient, i know.) Anyways, i have to be able to use function keys, i can touch the screen so if i can not it isn't the end of the world. But it would make things MUCH more easier. Is there a way to program the F1-F12 keys on the wireless keyboard to use like windows, rather than the brightness/volume/play buttons.
    Also, my arrow keys don't seem to work right. If i am using notepad, they don't work, unless i have entered down 6 lines, the arrows will work as far as those 6 lines, but won't go down on there own. If i am on the internet and there is a drop down menu, the arrow keys don't work either. As well as in my work program, they don't work at all, it's as if the arrow keys don't register.
    Help?!

    Just added information. In my work program, i can use the onscreen keyboard (but it takes up half the screen so i can not see what i am doing. From that keyboard, and can toggle back and forth from the regular keyboard, the FN screen for function keys, and the CTRL keyboard. This is why i am confused as to why the function keys and arrows will not work on the wireless, yet they have the keyboard on the screen.

  • Using Function Keys and Alt Key in Flash Video

    I am attempting to create an eLearning video, which includes instructions, a "try it yourself" section, and then a quiz.  Our software that I am trying to simulate uses Function keys (F6 to bring up specific windows) as well as shortcut keys (Alt-S takes the user to a certain field, Alt-P conducts a Patient Search, etc).  However, I have found that when running the video using IE, the browser takes over the focus and these function keys do not control the video. 
    These functions work fine in Google Chrome (not approved for use by the company) and when the video is published as .exe, but I need this to work in IE. 
    Is there anyway to retain the focus on the flash video for the entire video?
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Here is the Preference dialog that Lilybiri was referring to where you can change the key assignments.
    When finished recording, you can click the Restore Defaults button to set everything back the way it was.

  • Short cut - Function Keys for my Application

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to use function keys alone (like only F5 or F6 etc) as shortcut for actions in my app....how to do it ???
    I can abe to place shortcut keys like CTRL + R or ALT + R etc...that is control keys + any key is possible...but how to do only function keys.....
    I tried using setMnemonic....setAccelerator....but i am not able to use function keys alone.....kindly help me out....
    Regards,
    V.Prasanna

    The mnemonic has to be an actual character, but function keys are perfectly valid for use as accelerators:  KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("F6");
      comp.getInputMap().put(ks, actionID);That works for me. How are you doing it?

  • Cant use function keys under actions. CS4, intel 2 x 2,8 quad

    We have just migrated from CS2 to CS4, and to new computers. I now cant use my function keys (F1 etc) with my actions. Any clues anyone?

    On your new computer, open the System Preferences>Keyboard&Mouse. Make sure the box for Use Function keys as normal is checked.

  • By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    rajlego,
    in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

  • Use Function Keys as Standard Function Keys checkbox missing

    Is there a reason the "Use Function Keys as Standard Function Keys" checkbox is missing in my Keyboard/Mouse settings?

    Just go to the Keyboard shortcuts tab and uncheck the items assigned to the function keys or assign them to different keys.

  • How we use Surrogate Keys for snowflake dimension

    Hi All,
    my question is - How we use  Surrogate Keys for  snowflake dimension
    i heard from some body Surrogate Keys only work with star schema.
    please correct me if i wrong.
    Regards,
    Manish

    Hi manishcal16PPS,
    According to your description, you can only create natural key in your dimension. But it's not working when using surrogate key. Right?
    In Analysis Services, the snowflake schema of the dimensions are represented by more than one dimension table in other words its takes multiple dimension tables to define a dimension. Surrogate key are just some extra, redundant, unique key based on the
    natural key. So there's no direct relationship or some limitations between surrogate keys and snowflake schema.
    In this scenario, since there's relationship between the two dimensions, you should create natural key. For using natural key or surrogate key. Please refer to an article below:
    Surrogate Key vs. Natural Key
    For understanding star/snowflake schema, please see:
    Understanding Star and Snowflake Schemas

  • Is is possible to stream a movie through my Macbook pro 15inch onto a TV through my HDMI-DVI chord while also using my computer for other tasks and minimizing my streaming show.

    Is is possible to stream a movie through my macbook pro 15in onto a TV through my HDMI-DVI chord while also using my computer for other tasks and minimizing my streaming show.

    To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
    Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
    In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

  • How to use Distribution Key for planning workforce

    Hi,
    I have an activity named "Activity1":
    Start date = ST = 01/01/2008
    End date = ST + 10
    Work = 120H
    Duration = 10day
    Activity type = Labor
    I want to assign workers into the activity as follows:
    01/01/2008: 10H
    02/01/2008: 20H
    03/01/2008: 30H
    04/01/2008: 40H
    04/01/2008 - 10/01/2008: 12H
    So I maintained a Distribution Function in IMG as below:
    % Duration % Req.
    0 9%
    10 18%
    30 27%
    40 36%
    50 10%
    And maintain the distribution Strategy in:
    SPRO-->PS->Resources->Distribution->Define distribution strategy.
    And maintain Req. distribution in:
    SPRO-->PS->Resources->Distribution->Define requirement distribution.
    Finally maintain this distribution key for the activity in "DistKeyCapRqInt" in internal tab .
    My question:
    What are the next steps for planning workers?
    Which transaction is used to execute and monitor the task as plan?
    Thanks
    Long

    "How to split sender data to reciever such tht the distribution should be done on the actual costs of each reciever. how to formulate the rule for reciever?" :
    In the segment header : use receiver rule 1 "variable portions" + variable portion type with rule 1 "actual costs". These parameters are confirmed in the receiving tracking factor page.
    Then go in the "receiving wighting factors" just for a check of factor per fields. All the lines have the value 100. It's absolutely OK, don't modify it.
    One thing to notice: if you use this rule, all the receiver must have a value, in the contrary a distribution based upon receiver actual cost can't run.
    "In our company GST for all documents goes to a particular cost center 'X'. Now they want to distribute the GST to the respective cost centers from which it is actually incurred.I tried using SKF with '%' as unit measure but then it's distributing the costs equally to all recievers. How to solve this?":
    did you change the percentages of each receveirs in the receiving tracking factor page?
    hope it's helpful

  • How can I display the failure caption with click box when using function keys to navigate a sim?

    I am using the keyboard function keys to navigate a simulation using Click Boxes. For instance, F7 advances the simulation to the next screen, but if the learner selects F5, a failure caption displays. I have tried deleting and re-entering the click box, placing the click box at the top of the timeline levels, starting the click box at 0 and 0.5, making the click box visible and invisible, and make the click box the entire size of the screen.

    Well, I guess that's that. Thanks for replying, I do appreciate it or else I would have been trying for days, wasting all sorts of time.
    Until we meet again,

  • Installed itunes 10.5 and now can't use function keys on my keyboard

    I just downloaded iTunes 10.5.0.142 and I now can't use the function keys on my keyboards to change track, pause etc. Is anyone else having this problem? Also, why is it now ctrl+shift+m to switch to mini player? Ctrl+m doesn't do anything now

    Yeah I agree the white keyboard was clunky, I dont really miss it. The problem is you can't just use the new lighter keyboards with the white imacs bc the operating system is outdated. The apple store told me I needed to upgrade my operating system and it would cost me 170 dollars, which I found incredulous.
    I dont think its due to an app running or an expose issue, thanks for your responses.
    aghhhh maybe ill have to buy an old crusty one on ebay. why the heck would apple not make a compatible keyboard for their 3 year old computer anymore, WHYYYYYY???!!!

  • Problem using function module for infotype 21

    hi
    im uploading the infotype 21 (family details) through function module hr_infotype_operations. i found that infotype 0106 (family/related person)
    is a secondary infotype and that a record is created for 0106 ,everytime you create a record in 21. so i upload the family data of an employee using the function module for infotype 21 initially. and then fetch the same record from the table pa0106 and modify the same record with other information.
    for example : u have the address details of a dependent(father subtype 11) in infotype 21. this address data is stored in the table pa0106 .  im not able to modify the record for infotype 0106 using the function module 0106.
    i would like to know the reason for the same. Is it because that infotype 0106 is a secondary infotype and u cannot modify the record using the fn module..?/
    thanks

  • What are all the Function Keys for on my new KU-0841?

    I just got an HP  KU-0841 Keyboard and want to know what the Function Keys are for F1-F12.
    Where can I learn about how to use them? Thanks

    Hi,
    Depending on application, or game. For example on one application which I use daily
    F1 =  Help (nearly all applications use this),
    F2 = Slpit screen
    F3 = End
    F4 = Expand
    F5 = Find / Re Find
    F6 = Change
    F7 = Up
    F8 = Down
    F9 = Swap
    F10 = Left (one screen)
    F11 = Right (one screen)
    F12 = Cancel
    Again, DEPENDING ON applicantion, you have to learn from application. Some applications allow you to re-program those keys.
    Regards.
