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:

Hot keys as Access keys

hi ,
i want to give HOT KEYS as the access key attribute for my adf faces core components. for example, i have a af:input text field,.
i want to keep access key for it as HOT KEY(F1 or any hot key upto F12)..
is it possible to keep hot keys as access key for components?

Hi,
no, but you can set combnations of alt+char. This can be set directly in the component properties. If you want to use hot keys then you would need to write JavaScript on the client to intercept the key and do whatever you want it to do. Note that dependent of the browser you use some keys are reserved by the browser and not available for the application.

Want to log my keystrokes INCLUDING hot-keys/shortcuts...possible?

I am working on a personal project, and want to log my keystokes (essentially a Keylogger.) But the KICKER being that I want to not only see my keystrokes and character, but the MANY keyboard shortcuts I use daily on my Mac. It's just for a personal research project, and the keyloggers, I've seen and tried doesnt log modifer keys. Any help to find out if this is possible first, and secondly any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
I want to "capture" and make alist of ALL the keyboard shortcuts I use that native to the MacOs. Besides stoping and jotting down, or audio recording these as I go, there has to be another way
Thanks Community!

Hp15-r006tu can not increse or decrese bright ness with hot key

sir ..
i purchased a new hp notebook 15-r006tu
some problem are ----------
1 .
i have installed graphics driver but i can not change led display bright ness with hot key ( fn + bright change key ) .
although adaptive bright ness is off ????
2 .
when i want to stop ( wifi and bluetooth ) using hot key fn + network botton button then only bluetooth is off
but wifi is still run .
what is hot key ??? or how i stop wifi ???

Hi pravt_hpr006tu,
I understand that after installing a Graphics card you can no longer adjust that screen brightness or turn off the WiFi with the function keys. I will try my best to help you with this.
For the WiFi, I suggest that you download and install the HP Wireless Button Driver, then follow the steps in this document for Airplane Mode (Windows 8) to make sure this has not been turned on.
For the screen brightness, follow the steps in this document for Resolving Problems with the Brightness of the Display and here is one for Fix : Stuck brightness controls / hotkeys not working in Windows 8 , 7 , Vista & XP for updating drivers. This should help with your brightness issue.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Good luck and have a great day!
I worked on behalf of HP.

Hot Keys toggle state of toggle switch

How can I prevent a toggle switch from updating it's GUI state when it is accessed via Hot Key (Alt + letter)?
I want to be able to do this without Disabling the control, and without setting the control to Indicator mode. I created a callback to swallow the event_commit. The control still toggles state when using hot keys but not when clicking the control.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While thinking about your problem it has occurred to me to experiment with some SDK function to check whether the accelerator key function could be diabled. While I haven't succeeded in it, I have noted that if you install a system hot key via RegisterHotKey SDK function it has precedence over the accelerator CVI installs while adding a double underscore somewhere in the control label. That is, even if the accelerator sign is present, a system hot key comes before and prevents the button callback to be fired. That could be a feasible solution for your actual problem.
I made up a fast example that shows all this matter: you can test all combinations of hotkeys installed on the control and see what happens.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

What is the use of hot key...

what is the use of hotkey in elementary search helps...how to use this in elementary search helps...can anybody send any navigations on these ..

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 .
See also:
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.

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>

                  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.

Rotate canvis unintuitive, hot key limitations, new adjustment layer features? Brush size slider bad

I've been using photoshop for a while, as well as a number of 3D applications. Speed and efficiency have always been very important, and I usually customize my software a lot to make it work for me. These are some of the things photoshop could do better in comparison to the user interfaces in some 3D programs.
Rotate canvas unintuitive:
While having a center pivot seems more intuitive at first, it actually causes me nothing but trouble having to always figure out where the center is, and then deciding how close i am (which will change speed of rotation). I would like at least an option to simply drag left and drag right for clockwise and counterclockwise at a specific speed.
Hot Key Limitations:
alt R and control R and shift R cannot be assigned to different things. I would prefer it if i could customize all of these.
new adjustment layer features:
often when painting in photoshop, i create an adjustment layer over all the layers. If i like how it looks, and want to continue painting, i have to either turn it off while i work and switch it on at the end again, flatten the entire painting loosing the layer separations, or duplicate the adjustment layer and setting it next to each pre-existing layer and then merging each set of 2 layers(the original + the duplicated adjustment layer).
It would be really wonderful if the process of duplicating the adjustment layers and flattening each set of 2 could be automated. a sort of Flatten to all individually button.
Brush Size Slider:
Zbrush has a very wonderful brush size change. I never appreciated it until trying photoshops. (previously to this i used another piece of hardware with a scroll wheel to change brush size. and still do. why the heck is the first brush size jump 10 units!?! simply a linear brush size change would have been awesome. although including a brush size slider is already pretty awesome
These things have been bothering me for a long time, and i always assume these problems that are obvious to me are probably obvious to everybody else and therefore will be fixed without my small intervention, but i figure this cant hurt. Thanks for all the hard work and the wonderful product!

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

How about Hot Keys for the Wireless Keyboard?

Hello all.
Been using the iPad 2 for about 2 weeks since I got it. Had to "ditch" the iPad Keyboard Dock and use a regular Apple Wireless Keyboard. The good thing is now using the TwelveSouth iPad Stand, I can orientate the iPad to any of the two positions I want.
But I miss the special hot keys on Keyboard Dock, namely the Home and Lock keys. Kind of inconvenient pushing the Home button on the iPad 2, especially having to double-press for multitasking.
If only the iPad's iOS allows some sort of configuration for hot keys on the wireless keyboard. I do notice that the F5 and F6 are empty.
Cheers

I would only hope that the keyboard would turn off, not just when it isn't pairing with the computer, but for the keyboard that is paired (mine is) it would be best if it turned off after a period of no use. Here is what one man, not an Apple tech, said about the A1314 keyboard he was selling on ebay:
"The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life based on average usage patterns. It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time."
This doesn't indicate how many minutes of no use it needs before it 'powers down' (doesn't sound as good as really being turned off) and it also doesn't address the issue of knowing if your keyboard is on or off via the power button.
Even my dog electric training collar blinks twice when it is turned on and blinks three times when it is turned off. The Apple keyboard needs two indicator lights, one to tell you if it is searching for pairing and the other strictly as an on off indicator. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this, but it does seem like somebody was sleeping in the design department as this keyboard is really cool, but it doesn't convey the basic on/off information to the user.
