Xfce. Stick window to one workspace. Remove built in keyboard shortcut

Is it possible to stick a window to a specific workspace? The stick function i have found, sticks the window to all workspaceses. Not what I want.
Can I remove the built in keybord shortcuts? It is irritating that ALT+F1 opens the documentation in my browser(used to E-17 where it jumps to workspace 1), and also move the browser from one workspace to the workspace where i hit keyboard combination.

Perhaps I am simply being a doofus here but isn't the point of stickying a window so that it shows up on all workspaces? If you don't sticky it then it only shows up one workspace... which is what you want?
I might be the dofus here, but I dont se the point in having the same window in all workspaces. What I wanted was to stick Firefox and Thunderbird to workspace 1 and 2. So that I can clik on a link in thunderbird without firefox being moved from workspace 1 to workspace 2.
Thanks for the keyboard binding tip. I did not investigate good enough before I asked, I admit that. So obvious.

Problem with drag and drop application windows from one workspace to another

I work with multiple desktops (Spaces) and before I freely dragged the mouse a window from one space to another, now the mouse rests on the edge of space and the application does not become the next space. What am I doing wrong or where this option is set?

After the publication of the problem has disappeared, the window is dragged. Miracle! )

Has the command-P keyboard shortcut to print been removed from Pages 5.2?

Is this just me or has one of the most used keyboard shortcuts been removed from the latest Pages?
You have to navigate the mouse to File>print...? No command>P?

Thanks. I went to Keyboard in System Preferences and added command+P as print command. No idea why it disappeared from Pages - but not Safari.
Back in action.

Keyboard shortcut for changing window/tab

Hi
Hope you're well. This is odd that I've not been able to find this anywhere.
In Flash CS5 (Mac OS). Window menu... right at the bottom it lists the windows you've got open with a number in front ie:
1 project.fla
2 class.as
3 interface.as
Now... if I click (with the mouse) to focus (activate) the window menu and press a number key corresponding to a window in the list, Flash kindly takes me to that window.
Q: What is the 100% keyboard shortcut way to do this?
I've had a go at wading in and just pressing keys... as my last-but-one strategy for finding this out. My last strategy being "ask". :-)
Cheers.

Cheers Nivesh
That's such a boon, cool.
Just to clarify for everyone, Mac Keyboard, it's the command and tilde key ( ~ ), but not using shift, Nivesh is correct. I had difficulty deciding whether it was the aposthrophy - my eyesight....
Thanks again.

In Safari is there a Keyboard shortcut for Merge All Windows?

Majority of sites sill open new pages in new windows, not new tabs. So, I keep using the Merge All Windows feature all the time. Please, provide a keyboard shortcut for this!

Although there is no default keyboard shortcut for the menu item in question, there is nothing preventing you from creating your own.
Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, press the "+" sign. From the Application drop-down menu, choose Safari. In the Menu Title field enter "Merge All Windows" -- without the quotes. In the Keyboard Shortcut field, enter your desired key combo and then click the Add button.
You'll need to quit System Preferences and restart Safari for the change to take effect. Good luck.

Ctrl+= "make font size larger" keyboard shortcut is not working, maybe related to Windows 7?

I changed recently from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit, and since then the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+= to make "font size larger" is not working anymore. Ctrl+- to make "font size smaller" is working like always. I tried this with LV8.5 and LV2011 and the missing functionality is on both LV-versions. So I wonder if this is related to Windows 7... Or am I missing something?
Any ideas?
I tried to switch keyboard input language without success. Then searched for menu shortcuts in the LV options, where Ctrl+= is not listed as it is only a keyboard shortcut and not in the menu. I wonder also why the whole font setting is so nestled in LV, why not just having a toolbar...
Looking forward for any help.

It works for me. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm running LabVIEW 8.2, so I can't test this on other versions. Are you sure you don't have some extension installed that's using that keyboard shortcut?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

After booting only one workspace on my second monitor

I got a MAC PRO 5.1 with 2 screens connected.
Problem after rebooting yosemite, on my second screen only one workspace is left. All others are at the first screen.
I also can't tell applications to open at a specific screen. After reboot the screen information is lost.

In Mac OS X, if a screen disappears -- all the items on it are moved so that at least some part of each window is on another screen so that it is not "lost" on a screen that is off. This problem sounds similar. Perhaps for some reason, your Mac thinks a screen has disappeared, and your workspaces are moved.
If this is the case, I thought of some workarounds that may prevent that from happening:
1) If you do not already use a "regular" user account (as opposed to an Admin account), I suggest you create a new Admin account, log in to it, and use it to demote your daily-use account to a regular account. Then cancel auto-login and endure the login screen. [You will also have to enter the Admin username and password when installing new software, but your Mac will be slightly more secure that way.]
This moves the creation of your workspaces away from the Startup sequence, and may mean the screens are stable by the time you log in and your workspaces will not be changed.
2) reverse which screen is the primary screen, in hopes that it (and its workspaces) will be maintained instead of dropping out

Sys update removed built-in speakers from output options

Hello All:
Can anyone help me get my sound working again? Can someone tell Apple they shouldn't have fired everyone who checks that their updates don't screw up machines in other ways?
Problem: No sound after installing updates. Built-in speakers have been removed from sound output preferences dialog.
System: 10.4.11
Hdwr: MacbookPro 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Details:
Yesterday I installed two updates:
2009-05-24 13:06:57 -0700: Installed "Security Update 2009-002 (Intel)" (1.0)
2009-06-08 00:56:54 -0700: Installed "Safari" (3.2.3)
After, no sound comes out of my built-in speakers. Machine has been re-booted, sound control panel checked many tiems, etc. The only options in the sound pane>output are :
digital out Port=Built-in Output
soundflower (2ch)
soundflower (16ch)
All options say, "Settings for this selected device: The selected device has no output controls".
So, the built-in speakers have been zorched somehow.
Apple help doesn't say much other than make sure nothing plugged into headphone jack (there isn't).
I now cannot participate in any of my scheduled skype conferences ---crap crap crap.
The last security update caused deletions of libraries for x11 on my G5 10.3 machine, now this one has killed my sound on my other machine. Fixing the aftermath of these updates have really become a time-sink. I wish someone would tell Apple to take a little more care with testing these updates.
Apple engineers, are you listening?
Thanks,
-Bruce

Sorry, I just got a fix for my own question: "sys update removed built-in speakers from output options"
This was provided by www.mac-forums.com. Apparently, this was a ???coincidence??? and a hardware problem, not a software problem(!).
BTW I didn't resort to WD-40, I just plugged in a sound cable repeatedly.
Thank you all for putting up with me, and I do apologize to apple for dis-ing their testing this time (but not last time when they zorched my x11 libraries!)

Macriot has the solution:
macriot - Apple Hardware | The Fix For No Sound From Your MacBook Pro or iPhone
Contributed by "Mac":
<quote>
For MacBook Pro owners this is commonly characterised by:
* the internal speakers still chime when your Mac is powered on
* a 'no parking' like symbol appearing below the sound icon whenever you attempt to manipulate the volume on your Mac
* the red light that continues to emanate from the audio output port
* only "Digital audio out" as the only output source displayed in the Sound pane of the System Preferences.
If you have these symptoms, we recommend a very gentle and minute tinkle of WD-40 into the audio output jack, followed by gently inserting and removing the audio input jack a few times. At least until the sound is returned to normal and red light ceases to glow from the audio output jack.
Remember, we said "tinkle" not spraying into the jack like there's no tomorrow...
Following the steps above will give you a good chance of restoring your internal audio.

This worked for me; doubtless, there had been dust or smear or something else polluting the macintosh perfection. Everything else people are doing is incidental and only coincidentally will have effect. Sorry, but this is a mechanical issue, not a software one.

Multiple window - close one closes all windows

FF 4.0
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
When opening several windows (via file/New window or by following a link and Open in new window=), when closing the last opened window, it closes fine, but the dialog asking if I want to close the main window (the one warning that there are several tabs opened) is displayed.
in FF3, each window was independent from the others

I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?

Closing All Open Windows in One Go

Is there a way to close all windows in one go? Also is it possible to select various windows in the dock and just close them in one go, than going to each one and closing it manually?

Also, to close certain window selectively, type Command-` to rotate windows and Command-w to close them. It's probably quicker than what you're doing.

Can you open itunes in 2 windows? One for your music and 1 for Itunes store

I want to open iTunes in 2 windows. One showing my current music and one showing the iTunes store. Sometimes I will accidentally download a song that I already have.

The option to open in a new window seems to have disappeared in the latest iTunes.
You could leave feedback for Apple about it via the help menu.

Move Window from One Screen to the Other

With multi-monitor setup, is there a shortcut key to move a window from one screen to another? This is about the only thing I miss from my old days of using a PC.
Way too lazy to drag
Thanks!

no, there isn't and I don't believe you can possibly make one. I don't know how this works in windows but os x would need to know where exactly to put a window on the other screen. since screens often have different sizes that would be impossible. besides, with extended desktop there is no actual separation between the screens and a window can be partly on one screen and partly on the other.
I'm afraid you are just going to have to drag.

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
Good Luck.
