What is the hotkey to close the Find bar?

After I use Find (Control-F) and move the text cursor to elsewhere, the only direct way I know to get rid of the Find bar that pops up at the bottom is to click the "x" on it. I would prefer to use a hotkey; but I cannot find one for that. ESC works if the text input cursor is still in the Find window. Thus you can do it when the cursor is not there to start with by hitting Control-F first; but that is non-intuitive and slightly more cumbersome than a direct hotkey. There are hotkeys for lots of things (including many redundant ones), so this would appear to be an oversight. Hopefully, it is myself who is doing the overlooking.
(Why doesn't the spell-checker like "hotkey", a word that occurs frequently on the Mozilla Web pages? Surely it has made its way into the vernacular by now.)

You write, "For a single hot key Esc is actually a single key. " That's true, but it does not work '''unless''' the cursor is in the Find text field. I was explicitly seeking a hotkey that would work when the cursor was not there. Based on what else you have said, there is not one. My question admits no answer - aside from the 2-key sequence I mentioned. I must confess that it is no big deal. I would click the "Solved It" button if there were one beside the last message '''I''' posted. If you want to echo that 'solution' back, I will click the button.

  • Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time.

    How do I eliminate this glitch?  Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time. I tried double-clicking the Home button which brings up all of the active apps, touched and held the Music icon until all the icons started wiggling, tapped the Close icon in the upper left corner of the Music app to close the app completely, but the app is still open and still randomly stuttering. I did notice that the play button icon flashes in the upper right corner of the screen when this happens and it appears and disappears in concurrence with the Music app stuttering. When the music starts, the icon appears and when it stops, the icon disappears again. When the music stutters on and off, the icon appears and disappears rapidly and in sync with that random glitch. This just started today for no apparent reason. I turned the iPad off, waited 30 seconds and turned it back on. As soon as it was finished starting up, the same music glitch began again immediately. I'm using iOS 6.1.3.

    Well, no one seems to have any answers or ideas for me, I'll update what I've been able to accomplish.
    I reloaded all 14 disks in the time frame of watching Lord of the Rings on Fri. nite.
    Funny thing is, the first disk pulled the info from the online store! Hooray!
    Wait-then all the next 13 could find no information online...what the heck is up with that? So I MANUALLY assign each disk a new track # to co-inside with each disk, spent about 2 hours doing that.
    But still, itunes tells me my playlist is too large, there's not enough space on the ipod. so I unchecked 1 1/2 disks (I'd listen to 1/2 of disk 1 previously) and voila! there's my ipod full of my book. Finally. But what a lot of bother just to keep things in order!

  • What happends if I dont close the connection

    Hi,
    I would like to know what happends if I dont close the connection after processing. we wont get any compile time & run time error if you dont close the connection. But why we used to close the connetion. Any specific reason for this. Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Satish

    What happens if you don't close a connection? It depends on how many connections you open and how long your program keeps running.
    Let's start with the case of a standalone program that runs for a little while then exits.
    While the program is running, the operating system maintains a network connection to the database server for each open database connection; there are system limits on the number of open network connections, although this is usually a very high number. Also, every open connection to a database uses resources of the database; many databases have limits on the number of connections they can have open at once. Some database products or configurations (Oracle in "dedicated" mode) will also start a seperate process on the server for each open connection; too many open connections and these processes start swapping out to disk, too many more and the server runs out of memory.
    When the program exits, the operating system will close any open network connections; the database server will also recognize that the network connections are closed. If the database supports transactions and the connection was in a transactional mode and there were uncommitted transactions, then the uncommitted transactions will be rolled back. Ultimately, all the database resources get released (assuming there are no bugs in the database program).
    Thus, a program that runs for a few minutes, commits all its transactions and exits without closing connections doesn't do major harm; the operating systems of both the client and the database server clean up the network connection and the database itself cleans up the database connection. It's all designed this way because programs sometimes crash; you can't have a system/database that breaks when that occurs... However, this cleanup is not always absolutely immediate on program exit; it usually takes a short time, seconds to minutes, for everything to clean up. Therefore, if the same programs is run over and over real fast, it becomes possible to exhaust a resource, such as memory or network connections. For a quick little test program that's run once and that's it, no problem...
    Now for a long running prgram, such as a web application that will run for days or months...
    As I've alluded to above, each database connection uses system resources, both on the client machine and on the database server. When a connection is maintained open, those resources are tied up; there's always a limit on the total number of connections that can be supported, although with the right software, hardware and database configurations that limit can be a huge number, tens of thousands. For other systems, it might be a low number, hundreds or less. Whatever it is, the program could potentially reach that limit and cause something to fail. If it doesn't reach that limit (or cause another program to push past the limit) then there's no problem (other than a potential performance impact).
    Now within a Java program, the JDBC standard requires that when an open database connection object is garbage collected, the connection is first closed. Assuming your driver conforms to the standard in this regard, and assuming no resource limit gets exceeded, then a long running program could open and abandon connections and let the garbage collector close and clean up. However, garbage collection is unpredictable, and connections are often sufficiently long lived that they get moved out of the "Eden" memory space and into the space of long-lived objects. These objects are only garbage collected when a "full" garbage collection takes place; a "partial" collection only examines the "Eden" space. Thus, depending on the applications load and memory usage and connection usage pattern and garbage collection configuration, an abandonded connection might not be garbage collected for hours or even days, greately increasing the chances that you run out of resources.
    In other words, not closing your connections in a long running program is a really really bad idea.

  • Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically?

    Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically? there is a program called POW! by AnalogX that does this, but its only good for IE. And Im a Firefox man. Can anyone look into this or maybe create a plugin that does what POW! does for IE? I will donate to the creater of a plugin that does that. Im so sick of pop ups that most pop up blockers miss.

    The Firefox pop-up blocker is very effective. If you are getting a lot of pop-ups in Firefox, you may have picked up some Malware that is causing those pop-ups.

    if this is the first time to happen in this version of the app. then it may just be a flaw with that version, if you have already un-installed and re-installed the app then it will just be a waiting game at this point until youtube hears and it and fixes it

  • PO issue :What should we do to close the PO or change item quantity?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to MM.I got an issue saying that there is some mismatch with quantity in the particular PO. User wants to cancel/close the PO system but it is not allowing to do so. To change the quantity is also  good, but while trying to change item quantity system is giving the following error message.
    Quantity 1000 is smaller than quantity issued 2000.
    To close the PO or change item quantity what should I need to do?
    A help will be highly appreciated
    Regards,
    sharon.

    Hi,
    It is of the standard functionality of SAP to verify the GR and IR against PO quantity when you try to close your related PO line item.  It ensures data consistency for your PO and PO history.  What you should do is very much subject to the status of your PO history (i.e. how many you have already GRed and/or IRed).  Check it again in your PO history tab of the PO item details level prior to making any further action on how your PO line item quantity shall be adjusted.  A particular example is if GR was done for the quantity of 2,000, you can't simply adjust your PO quantity into 1,000 as it goes against the logic whereby the GR quantity (and/or IR quantity) must be no larger than PO quantity.
    Cheers,
    HT

  • HT201412 In Safari, when I have several windows open, currently there are 9, I can't close them. I try pushing on the x to close the window, but nothing happens. Help

    In Safari, when there are several windows open, I cant close the open windows. I push on the x but they dont close.

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Then launch Safari and try again.

  • W540 How do you reverse the hotkeys back to the function keys without Fn

    Just got my thinkpad W540. want to be able to swith between the hotkeys and the function keys. Is there an easy way to do this?

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    On my newer ThinkPads, pressing the Fn key and tapping ESC turns on FnLk (small LED on the key lights up) and the F keys then invoke F1, F2, etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Having updated my ipad to ios 8 I have now lost the X to close the safari tabs, how do I get around this?

    I have updated my ipad to IOS 8 and have now lost the X to close my safari tabs.  How I am supposed to close the tabs now?

    If you have more than one tab open, you should still see the "x". When you are down to the last tab, you will need to tap the View Open Tabs icon (upper right, looks like two over lapping squares). You also access Private Browsing from there.

  • Did we loose the choice to close the accordion menu initially.

    After the update. I am not able to close the accordian menu, and I also don't see the option to close initially. Thanks for the help.
    http://www.highestgoodclothing.com/_blog/Highest_Good_Clothing_Blog
    Before the update the acrive tab was closed initially.

    The "Close all initially" option in the Accordion panel has been replaced by the new behavior that allows an accordion to be collapsed in Design view. Refer to Muse 4.0 Release notes on the following page for more information on this and other Widget improvements - http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/muse/release-note/adobe-muse-release-notes.html
    So in your case, you simply need to enable the "Can Close All" option for the Accordion panel (if its not enabled already) and close it in Design mode in order for it to be collapsed by default on publish. This corresponds to another Panel widget improvement in this release where the selected panel in Design view will now be selected/active when previewing, exporting or publishing the site to Business Catalyst.
    Thanks,

  • When trying to open Firefox it trys to connect to restore the prevoius session (not responding) and will not start. I uninstalled then reinstalled and it is still stuck. I have to X the box and use the popup to close the noresponsive program

    Firefox will not start. When I try to open it it gets stuck trying to restore the previous session. It shows "connecting" and the little round working cursor just spins. The program says (not responding) in the top. Please help me fix this, thanks

    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
