Ask about the Pause/break key on the keyboard

As Saroseus,

I have a program that uses the Pause/break to continue to operate and without it I can not continue to use it for work. The work of the society for us gave keyboards with the Pause/break key, but it is not ergonomic and it's hurting my wrist to use. That is why I bought this keyboard. This is a great keyboard and it works well, but I need this button "Pause". While Microsoft can do you something about it.

Hello

Let me ask you;

  • What exactly you're talking about when you say, ' I need this button "Pause"?
  • Is not the Pause/break key in the keyboard you purchased, working?
  • This keyboard does not have a Pause/break key?
  • Do you mean you bought now ergonomic keyboard?
  • The keyboard has Pause and break keys separately?

It might be possible that some newer keyboards may have separate keys for the pause feature and the pause feature. Instead of these two functions are on the same key, the keyboard has a separate PAUSE button of the PAUSE button.

On many keyboards, the key that controls the functions pause and break is usually labeled as the PAUSE button. As a result, many keyboard shortcuts show you "Press a PAUSE button." However, when you only press the BREAK key, the default behavior is to take a break.

This behavior that many people know can cause some confusion on newer keyboards that have separate PAUSE and BREAK keys. For example, the newer laptops may have separate PAUSE and BREAK keys.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Follow these steps on a keyboard that has one button PAUSE/ATTN:

  1. Open a command prompt window. To do this, click Start, click run, type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type dir, press the ENTER key and immediately press the PAUSE/BREAK key.

    Note that the list of files in the directory stops. This behavior indicates that the default behavior of the key is to pause. To see this behavior for a directory that has a short list of files, you must press the PAUSE/BREAK key very quickly after you press the ENTER key.

  3. Press CTRL + PAUSE/BREAK.

    Note that the list of files in the directory stops and returns you to the command prompt. This shows that the secondary behavior of the key is to break.

In addition, if you follow these same steps, and if you press the CTRL + Windows Logo + PAUSE/BREAK Keyboard shortcut to open the System Properties dialog box, the dialog box does not appear. This behavior is further proof that the default behavior of the PAUSE/BREAK key is to pause.

If the keyboard does not pause button, you can use the screen keyboard and check.

Open the on-screen keyboard by clicking the Start button , clicking all programs, Accessories, ease of access, and then click on-screen keyboard.

You can see: using the keyboard (OSK) typing on-screen

Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Dell Studio 1555: missing the PAUSE/BREAK key

    Hello world

    I just got my new laptop Studio 1555, but I was stumped when I noticed that there is no PAUSE/BREAK key. It is a key that I actually needed for some applications.

    Could if it you please let me know which is the shortcut to reproduce the PAUSE button?

    In the same vein, it looks like also the integrated numeric keypad (i.e. small blue numbers on 789, UIO, JKL) disappeared. It was useful for typing the letters accented with FN + ALT + 0234 (and others). A way to reproduce this behavior?

    Thank you for your help.

  • Help me install a Pause/break key on keyboard Dell

    Hello, I have Windows Vista on computer Dell Laptop Inspiron 1545, the problem is that it doesn't have a Pause/break key on the keyboard because it's a smaller version keyboard.

    So, can someone please tell me step by step exactly how to make one of my other keys in a Pause/break key.

    Don't tell me to go look for a software or something like AutoHotKey because I don't know how to use it exactly.

    I understand that I need to change some sort of registry but I do not understand computer code.

    I would change my right on the Pause/break key Alt key.

    So please can someone tell me where and what file to find and what to edit in it exactly, so my right Alt can become key Pause/break now in all games and programs.

    Thank you for reading and help :)

    Very well!
    Finally I figured out the AutoHotKey
    My game Hegemonia works now...
    Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows Vista, I have...
    My keyboard doesn't have the Pause/break key which is needed to pause the game Hegemonia...
    So I remapped my right Alt key in Pause button...

    Here's what I did and what you should do if you have problem like this:

    -Download and install AutoHotKey software.

    -Then go to my programs on the Start Menu and open the program "AutoHotKey."

    -Now, let him register a file where it asks to save it in.

    -If the icon does not appear upward again in the lower right of your screen then go and open the program to 'AutoHotKey' once again, now it should appear in the lower right.

    -Right-click on the icon 'H' of the clock in the bottom right of your screen and select "edit this Script.

    -Remove all of this notebook and just put this code in it:

    RAlt: ^ break

    -And then save the file and close it.

    -Then right click on that 'H' icon again and choose "reload this Script.

    -Now you're ready to go... Yes, the 'H' icon must be on when you want your right Alt key to be used as a key break, but when you have completed a game that needs a touch of pause, then you can just right-click on the 'H' icon and choose Exit.

    -then next time when you want to play a game that uses the Pause/break key to pause the game, make sure you just as you open this same AutoHotKey program first, and then the game.

    -No, you don't need to edit the script or reload the program when you open it later for future use, because it is already registered

    I was so happy when it worked for me... AWESOME!

  • Ask about the policy of replacement of defective parts under warranty (laptop)

    Hello. I had a laptop computer with a HARD drive 320, which became faulty (not totally, in fact) within 2 weeks of purchase. I turned it a HP service center and they got it replaced with a new job. Now everything works fine ATM, however I have noticed that my current HARD drive is a Western Digital while I remember that I had before the failure was a one Seagate. Now, I have a question about the HP replacement policy: is it possible to get another brand of HARD drive altogether in lieu of one that was part of the original shipment or should I have obtained one of the same company (Seagate) otherwise the same exact model of the HARD drive as a replacement?

    They replace it by what they have there at the time, any policy on this.

    This is a forum to a user, no employee of HP here, with the exception of the moderators of the forum.

    WD is currently better than Seagate in my opinion.

  • Ask about the creation and filling I$ table on different condition

    Hello
    I have a question about the creation and filling I$ table on a different condition. In which condition the I$ table creation? And these conditions are given below:

    (1) * source and transit area * are on the same server (that is to say target is located on another server)
    (2) * gathering and target area * are on the same server (IE source is on another server)
    (3) * source, transit area and target * are * different 3 * Server
    Source 4), area transit and target are on the same server
    Thank you

    I'm not quite clear to your question. Always try my best to erase it.

    In your all over requirement I$ table will be created.
    If the same staging as target (a database, a user) then all temporary tables are created in this user
    If the scaffolding is different from the target (a database, two users (A, B)), then all temporary tables will be created under that user A (lets consider) and the data will be inserted into the target table that is present to user B

    Staging is different from the target (two database, two users (A1, A2), architecture not recommended) if all temporary tables will be created under that user A1 (A1 of the databases) and the data will be inserted into the target table which is present in user A2 (A2 data base)

    If the source, staging, the target will be under a database then no. LKM is required, IKM is sufficient to load the data into the target. Especially for this, you can see an example given by Craig.

  • Ask about the product recovery process

    Hello Mr./Mrs

    I'm about to start the recovery process of the product on my laptop, so I've read is that it formats all data on the hard drive. Is what it means if I have 2 hard drives (C & E drive) all on each of them will be erased or simply C drive only?

    If both drives will be erased so where can I restore my data disc E to continue the process?
    Thank you for your support.
    Your Tony

    Hello Tony

    It will be interesting to know what model of laptop do you have and how you want to perform the installation of recovery.

    If you use F8 and drive HARD recovery (on the new laptop models) installing the C partition will be deleted only.
    If you use the whole HARD drive recovery DVD will be erased and formatted.

  • Ask about the design of the system

    Hello

    I need to make a request that has the following requirements:

    1. The application begins with a screen that should be a list of say Supermarkets.I guess I must use ListField therefor (my assumption is correct?).
    2. When a user selects a supermarket, say KMart in the list, I want to show a list of departments of this supermarket.
    3. Select a Department from the list should show a list of products in the Department.
    4. Choose a product should show the details of the product.
    5. During all this navigation, I need to display a tab bar at the bottom of the screen. The tabs will be used to access the various features of the application such as the Search tab that can be used to search for a specific supermarket or a product. This tab bar must be visible at all times.
    6. I will use SqlLite as DB (wise decision or not?).

    So here's the scenario. Thanks for bearing with me so far. Now, here are the questions:

    • Can I move just a portion of the screen, i.e. the part that the list and not whole screen? I ask this question because I don't want the tab bar below to disappear no matter what.
    • Or, do I need to divide the screen into two frames, one for the bar tab at the bottom and one for the main content where lists will be displayed and whenever a list item are selected, I need to delete the current list and add the following list? Is this the right approach?

    If anyone has any suggestions as to how this problem should be addressed I can't wait you to read them.

    Much obliged.

    Hello

    My comments:

    1. the application starts with a display that should have a list of say Supermarkets.I guess I must use ListField therefor (my assumption is correct?).

    -> Yes, you can use listfield. I often use FlowFieldManagers with some fields extended to create another way to view information.

    2,3,4-> ok

    5. This can be obtained by adding your 'field of the tab' status (use setStatus on your screen).

    6. If you use sqllite you target users with OS 5.x, if that's the case is ok.

    With your questions:

    -> If you are using setStatus as I mentioned the tab bar used to disappear.

    If you want not the header disappear in some cases, use setTitle. using setTitle and setStatus your content will be in the middle. If you scroll the listfield title and status will remain in their place.

    Perhaps other developers have different ideas
