Why does pressing the left and right cursor keys not navigate within ical?

Where do I make feature requests?

The cursor keys by themselves navigate between appointments, allowing you to select them without using the mouse. Try holding the Apple key plus the right and left arrow keys, that will navigate between pages in the calendar.
As for feature requests, see:

Left and right Arrow keys Not working now

My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
It is not hardware because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
Any ideas?

You might want to post in the MacBook forums as this seems to be a hardware issue and those gurus hang out there. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248

Left and Right Arrow Keys Not Working

I know this has been asked A LOT, but I can't find a concise answer that works.
Some have had success with fixing something in their System Preferences, then Keyboard Shortcuts. I don't know what this means, went there, and can't add left/right commands as the keys don't do anything. This is probably something easily explained, but I need to be walked through the steps as I don't know how to "add shortcuts" exactly.
I just really need the left and right keys, as I'm a writer and that helps to fix typos quicker.

Scrolling using the Left and Right Soft Key

Hi guys,
Good day!
I need your help with regards to using scroll wherein my control is the right or
left soft key
I want to implement those like in calendar wherein year can navigate using right or left soft key like this
Display:
*< 2008 >*
if i pressed left would display - 2007
if i pressed right would display- 2009
Please help! Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Psyeu

Err.. keyCodes for the softkeys are non-standard. In fact, all devices don't have softkeys ... one example is Motorola E6.
From the documentation for Canvas:
MIDP defines the following key codes: KEY_NUM0, KEY_NUM1, KEY_NUM2, KEY_NUM3, KEY_NUM4, KEY_NUM5, KEY_NUM6, KEY_NUM7, KEY_NUM8, KEY_NUM9, KEY_STAR, and KEY_POUND. (These key codes correspond to keys on a ITU-T standard telephone keypad.) Other keys may be present on the keyboard, and they will generally have key codes distinct from those list above. In order to guarantee portability, applications should use only the standard key codes.

Wireless Keyboard's left and right shift keys don't like some keys...

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a second hand 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPad 32GB Wi-Fi.
When pressed by themselves, the keys all individually work - I've tested them all using my MacBook's Keyboard and Character Viewer. The problem is when I use either shift keys with the following keys:
123456789
qwertyuio
Now, the odd thing is, the left shift key won't wok with either of those lines but the right shift key will work with the letters but not the numbers.
Using sticky keys on my MacBook, I can get every single one of the numbers to give out their character (!@£ etc.) with the left and right shift keys. I've not got Mouse Keys turned on either (and I don't think there's an option to enable it on the iPad)
Also, the Shift keys work perfectly fine with all of the other keys on the keyboard so they aren't worn out.
Any ideas what could be making my keyboard this way..? Or should I send it back (if I can...)?
Thank you for your time!

ok so i've made a bit of progress on my own...
i've found the on-screen keyboard viewer (silly me, i was looking under "keyboard" in system preferences...) and this flashes with each key i press except the problematic left and right cursor keys.
moreover, if i click the left and right cursor keys on the on-screen keyboard, they behave as they should, moving my cursor left and right.
this is starting to look like a hardware fault but i'd love to be able to test outside of the OSX GUI to be really sure. is there any way i can do that. not sure i want to get the screwdriver out just yet...

Discerning between left and right ctrl key(events)

I hope this is possible. If yes just point me in the right direction if too complex to explain in a couple a lines.
Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I don't think you can. In Java,
both left and right ctrl keys produce the same key
code (17). It used to be that these two keys
were 'hardwired' to the same function on the keyboard
but I'm not sure if this has changed..I don't think so.
No, I don't think it's possible.... besides, from a
user interface point of view, why would you want to do
that? Do you know any piece of software that does it?jaffab is right, Client Access for AS/400 makes a distinction between the left and right control keys, as do a number of games.
Unfortunately, the java AWT doesn't :-(
I would tentatively suggest that it would be possible, using JNI, but I imagine it wouldn't be simple to get a key listener set up in C/C++ that would trigger a java event - being the only way I can think of to differentiate between left and right control keys.
Given its infeasibility, I'd recommend having the control key do absolutely nothing - far easier to recover from, especially since reset and enter are such diametrically opposed functions!
Heh, you could always pop up a message box if they press and release control without pressing another key between, saying what to press for reset or accept, respectively :-)
-Troy
Random trivia - I think the default set up in Client Access is like that because on the original keyboards used with the green screens, the keys in those corners were reset and enter! Users who had gotten used to typing without looking at the keyboard wanted the functions in the same place, rather than on the keys with the same name.
IBM never has been happy doing things the same way as everyone else - database 'tables' are called 'files', 'schemas' are 'libraries'... trying to teach Java to one of the ILE/RPG programmers here, and we still have trouble with the english language differences, trying to explain what the programming language is doing!
Well, that certainly wasn't the few-line post it was supposed to be...

Left and right arrow keys don't move frame by frame in a multicam sequence

Since installing 8.2.0, the left and right arrow keys stop working in multicam sequences. I hear one frame of sound when pressing the left or right arrow, but no frame-by-frame. In the viewer or non-multicam sequences, they seem to behave normally.
Any ideas?
Computer--Mac Pro 2013, Yosemite 10.10.1, 32 GB, 6 core

What little there is in this topic: 9.0 iTunes played Football Podcast frame by frame both forward and backwards for detailed viewing. When they upgraded to 10.0 the keyboard freatured was changed and not replaced. the arrow keys now move you to the next video or the previous video. Command (open Appple) moves you ..like 3 to 4 frames ahead. This is stupid and I have to play my podcast videos in Realplayer to use their arrow keys. This is just one more level for playerts to scrfew up on when viewing themselves. THE Can someone actually ask Apple to put it back as a key board feature. It can not even be scripted, but I'm game to hear your advice.

Remap Left and Right Command Keys as Different Buttons?

Hello,
I'm suffering from the dreaded emacs pinky (yes, I've already changed the caps-lock key to ctrl) and I want to know if it is possible to set the left and right command keys to different options.
For example, to keep the right command key as command, but have the left function as ctrl.
Thanks for any help.

I think the answer is the same as last year. Don't know of any way to do that.

How do I plot a y axis on the left and right in DIAdem/VIEW (version 11.0)?

I am trying to analyze flight data, and I would like to analyze plots of certain parameters so that they share an x axis. It is necessary to view these using two different y axis, on the left and right. How do I do this in DIAdem (version 11.0) in the VIEW tab? Is this possible to do in the VIEW tab?

myocom,
You can highlight random points in DIAdem as well.
Here is an example:
Use the cursor to move to the point you wish to highlight.
Press the "Set Data Point and Flag" icon on each data point you wish to highlight
When you are done selecting points, press the "Flags: Copy Data Points" icon - that will copy all X/Y coordinates into two new channels
I created a REPORT Layout using the original data and the highlighted random points (I added the actual point Z-value above the point, they look strange when written at the exact point). I attached the layout for your reference.
The complete task took 3 minutes from loading the data to finishing and exporting the REPORT layout. If you have a REPORT layout already, this will take less than 30 seconds ...
I am not familiar with Matlab, so I can't compare how this works in DIAdem vs. Matlab. You can add the combine the complete process in a Script and it will automatically create this kind of report after simply selecting a few data points in VIEW and then pressing a button ...

Why after i update my left and right arrow keys stop working

my left and right arrow keys stoped working after i updated to Mavericks now the dont work

Hello ccombs2014,
It sounds like 2 of your keys are not working after updating to Mavericks. I found this section of an article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

White Borders Around the Left and Right Edge of a Published Movie

Does anyone know how to get rid of the white borders that are around the left and right edge of a published movie? It looks like they are about a 1 pixel border. I have the "show borders" unchecked in the themes options.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to add some CSS code into the HEAD area of you HTML publishing template to remove the default HTML margin.
