What's with the tab key in the new version of Pages

In the previous version I could have a list and was able to tab within a line in that list and it would recognize the tabs. Now, if you are in line, shifts the position of the list level.
Version 2
1. My list line could tab to here $50.00
2. Second line
3. and so on.
Version 3
a. My list line (shifts the list if you click the tab key) can't add anything
2. Second line
3. and so on.
NOTE: the a. line under version 3 is indented when the tab key is clicked. If I do this in this reply box, this line won't even show up. That's why I edited my post.
Or do I have something buggy when shifting from 2 to 3. (I already threw 2 away.)

The fn key is on the portables, not the stand-alone keyboards. It allows for a smaller/less keys keyboard & still lets you do things like forward delete by holding down the fn key & pressing delete.

  • KeyEvents with the TAB Key

    Hey All,
    I have a small progam with a small problem. My program is an applet with numerous textfields and I have implemented the KeyEvents event listener. What I want to have happened when I press the "Tab Key" is the cursor move from one tab to another, but when it goes to the next tab it clears out the text that is currently in the textfield. Take a look at my code segment that is giving me the problem.
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
    if(NameField == e.getSource())
              if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB)
                   SalaryField.setText(" ");
    I know that is works if I replace "VK_TAB" with something else like "VK_A". "NameField" and "SalaryField" are the names of mt textfields. I am currently using Java SDK 1.3.1 to program in java program, but my browser uses JVM/Runtime Enviornment 1.4.1. When I run it with my broswer nothing happens when I press tab and some for the program that I am using to progam in. I did a search in the forum and came up with I have above, but still cannot it to work. When I read APIs on 1.4.1 and 1.3.1 that both said that
    "Aside from those keys that are defined by the Java language (VK_ENTER, VK_BACK_SPACE, and VK_TAB), do not rely on the values of the VK_ constants. Sun reserves the right to change these values as needed to accomodate a wider range of keyboards in the future."
    What is going on? How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Iceman
    PS:
    My Interface is swing

    Hey All,
    Thanks for the help I got to work when I ran it with my programming program, but when I run it in a browser using the current JVM the tab key does not work. What is wrong now? Or how am I to use FocusListener now, I tried to use the getOppositeComponent(, my complier says that it is not a method of FocusListener. Even though java says in the docmentation that it is. Can I get some more help here. The questions again is How can I tab in a applet?
    Later,

  • Tab key in the ActiveX AcroPDF crashes application

    Hello everybody,
    I wonder whether any of you had this problem working with an ActiveX which displays a PDF file.  This is the situation:
     -  I've designed a VI which displays a pdf file in the ActiveX container (see attached) using LabVIEW 2009 Proffessional SP1.  I'm running in Windows XP, and I've got installed Adobe Reader 8.
     - When running this VI using LabVIEW, everything works fine.
     - I've build an executable, which works perfect in the computer where LabVIEW is installed.
    Now, I try to execute the same executable in a clean computer which has installed Adobe Reader 9 and LabVIEW Run-Time 9.  It seems to work fine, and the pdf is perfectly displayed, with all the Adobe options working well.  But the problem shows when pressing the "Tab" key.  The executable crashes with the typical windows screen which says that an error has been detected and that the program will be closed.  And that is what happens.  The application is closed suddenly,
    I remember to have seen few months ago a post with the same issue.  A bug in LabVIEW 8.5 would be the reason and I thought that the problem would dissapeared when getting the LabVIEW 2009.  But as far as I can see, it didn't, and I cannot find this post again.
    Thanks in advance for any help you might give me, and if you need further details of the VI or versions used, just let me know.  I hope somebody came accross with this issue before and can give me a hand.
    Regards,
    Dani

    Well, that seems like a definite LabVIEW bug to me.  I just reproduced it (NOT as an executable) with a simple self-contained program.  I've attached a code snippet below.  While it is running I pressed the Tab several times.  Eventually it locks up and closes LV without any notice at all.  It's a very repeatable crash, for what that's worth.

  • P2 Importing and the Tab Key

    I just discovered a MAJOR change in behavior with P2 importing in Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 and it makes me very upset! Previously, when renaming P2 clips in the Log and Transfer window, after double clicking the first clip and renaming, you could press the tab key to go straight to the next clip, type your new name, tab to the next clip... and so on. Now the tab key does not do this!!! I cannot tell you what a huge problem this is. I don't have time to double click every single clip to rename it. Tabing to the next clip saved sooooo much time and was so efficient!
    Does anyone know how to get this functionality back? Can I assign a keyboard shortcut? I've already looked and am not finding it.

    David S. wrote:
    I was able to adapt quickly to this change, and I now like the fact that the tab key for the most apart is designed to move between the text entry fields.
    I don't do a lot of P2 importing so wouldn't have noticed this changed, but I would have been surprised if tabbing didn't navigate between text fields. Seems to me this change was for the better.
    Now if they'd just use Enter to open sequences selected in the bin and Return to edit the sequence name (instead of the other-way-around it is now). Oh, and Command-D doesn't duplicate a selected sequence? +Option-D?! Wha!?+

  • Duplicating the tab key

    Does anyone know how to duplicate the tab key on the right side of the keyboard (say by using F13-F19)?? I still want the normal tab key to work as well. Thanks

    Maybe I didn't word it well. No, there is no tab key on the right side, but I would like to have one on the right side. That's why I would like to duplicate the tab key on the left side with a key that does the same function on the right like one of the higher F-keys.

  • Why does the "TAB" key no longer work to move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8?

    The "TAB" key will not move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8. You have to use the mouse to click on the new field to move the cursor.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
    Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.
    This pref doesn't exist by default, so if you want to use it instead of the system settings then you need to create a new Integer pref with the name accessibility.tabfocus and set the value to what you want (7 is to tab through all the fields).

  • Moowing focus with the tab key (swing)

    Hi. I have a JFrame with 4 text areas in. I want to be able to "hop" to the next text area by pressing the tab key. Most internet pages says this is default, but when I press tab, I get a tab space inside the text area I'm in.. Any ideas on how to do this? (i use Java 1.5)

    HashSet focusForward = new HashSet();
    HashSet focusBackward = new HashSet();
    focusForward.add(AWTKeyStroke.getAWTKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,0));
    focusBackward.add(AWTKeyStroke.getAWTKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,InputEvent.SHIFT_DOWN_MASK));

  • Strange behavior with the tab key and multiple users

    Hello,
    I'm stuck on this problem and none of the usual trouble-shooting techniques have yielded results, so perhaps someone will point me the right direction.
    I have an Intel iMac running 10.3.9 with two user accounts, and in one of the accounts the tab key fails to advance the cursor from field to field in any application, be it a browser, mail client, etc. The tab key works otherwise, I can switch between applications using apple tab, for instance. The other user account works fine. The keyboard & Mouse preferences are identical on both user accounts. In fact, after creating a new user account it too had no tabbing from field to field either, which would seem to indicate that it is not a problem in an individual account. Repairing the permissions did not help, and even a recent archive and install failed to change this. Anyone know where to look for an answer? Thanks in advance...
    iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    I did a wholesale replacement of the preferences folder from the working account to the non-working one, and after going through the welcome screens and re-setting a variety of preferences (setting up mail.app again, etc...), the tab key is functioning as expected in all applications. Thanks!

  • Making the Tab key not work in the JTextArea

    In my view I have a JTextArea along with a bunch of JTextFields and JComboBoxes. The user is usually going to tab out of a field in order to go to the next field. What's happening is when the user tries to tab out of the JTextArea, the cursor just moves by a tab length within the JTextArea instead of going to the next field. And if the JextArea has some text in it and if the user tabs into the JTextArea, the whole text gets selected and on hitting the next tab, it gets wiped out.
    I am trying to make the JTextArea not respond to the tab by writing the following code. Keymap keyMap = JTextComponent.getKeymap(JTextComponent.DEFAULT_KEYMAP);
    KeyStroke tabKey = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0, false);
    keyMap.removeKeyStrokeBinding(tabKey);
    jTextArea1.setKeymap(keyMap);But it's still not working. Can anybody tell what's wrong with that code. Or is there any other way to do it? Any help/hints appreciated.
    Thanks.

    If you're using jdk1.4, those other solutions won't
    work because the focus subsystem has changed radically
    (see
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/awt/doc-file
    /FocusSpec.html). The upshot is that you have to
    specifically register the keystrokes that you want to
    use for focus traversal. In your case, you have to
    re-register the Tab and Shift-Tab keys, and
    they don't seem to have provided a simple way to do
    that. Here's what I come up with:Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
    KeyEvent.VK_TAB));
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
    KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
    KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    forwardTraversalKeys);
    Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
    KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
    KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |
    K | InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
    KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    backwardTraversalKeys);Or, you can just press CTRL+TAB instead of TAB when
    you get to the JTextArea :).=====================================
    i used the above thing but i am getting exceptions classcast exception n method not found (forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB));)keystroke.get keyStroke(int)???? where i am going wrong as it will be quite helpful for me am using jdk1.4.1_02
