Cannot use my keyboard shortcuts
Last night, I was playing a game on the internet that required me to use the CTRL space and arrow numerous amounts of times in a row, and now I can't use my keyboard shortcuts like ctrl + c, ctrl + v, or ctrl + alt + delete. I messed around a bit with the sticky keys options and made numerous amounts of different combinations to see if I could solve the problem, but so far, nothing has worked. I'm pretty sure that my problem is not apparent virus, I just want to know what I did to change the settings to its current form and how to get back to his previous 100% form.
Hello, Ramona,.
Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community!
I understand that you have problems with the keyboard shortcuts. I will try to help you solve the problem as soon as possible.
(1) what is the brand and model of the keyboard?
Method 1: Check if you are able to use the on screen keyboard shortcut.
Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

(a) click Start
(b) Control Panel
(c) printers and other devices

The question describes all this: when I select "view history", the menu bar disappears, so I have no way of navigation, there is no arrow to the left, nothing. I quit Firefox, but only using the Mac keyboard shortcut. I can go back to a previous window only by moving the historic window and I can close this previous window - there is a button for this - but there is NOTHING that will allow me to change, or close, the historical window. My only option is to leave the program.
Both of your corrections helped. The first reminded me that I could simply use command-W to close the library window, because it did not show a close"" button. But your second response on rename these two files really made the tour of Firefox back to his old self once more. Now, everything is back to normal. Thank you.

Unable to use the keyboard shortcuts on Netflix
If I watch something on Netflix, I can't use keyboard shortcuts for Firefox. For example, I can't use ctrl + T/N to open a new tab or window. What is going on?
My guess is:
If you click on all controls in an area of the screen controlled by a plugin (for example, Silverlight or Flash), the plugin will take focus and usually continue to intercept keyboard actions. Usually, clicking on an empty area of the page to return the focus to the browser itself, but sometimes it does not work and you use the mouse to change the tabs and change back to regain control. Or if you use the shortcut to Windows Alt + Tab to switch to another window, then Alt + Tab, return to Netflix, who could also operate (and avoids having to use the mouse).
Is it that help at all?

I want to refresh the current page tab that the firefox browser open without focusing on that. For example, I focus on a text editor (creating a server-side code) and I save some changes and trigger my custom shortcut (IE [ctrl + alt + space + a]) key to refresh the firefox browser without concentrating on it.
You can do that with a keyboard shortcut without opening/development the Firefox window.
Maybe use this extension:

Using a keyboard shortcut to insert text
I'll try to find how to insert text quickly without having to type it all in. The example is my email address. It takes a while to type, and I have to do it often. Is there a way to press a single function/control key which States that the value assigned to it, and if so, how do assign you the value to the key?
Hi Graham,
You can assign keyboard shortcuts to launch a program.
Here is a video on it:
http://www.myhowtoos.com/en/Windows-howtoos/92-how-to-assign-keyboard-shortcuts-to-applications
You cannot assign a new function to the Windows key, natively in Windows 7 or Vista.
You can't create hotkeys for pasting text into a form or document, natively in Windows 7 or Vista.
Internet Explorer has a way to save the data from the forms (AutoComplete) if it is of no interest.

Hey Buddy,
Your ad is a bit confusing you read it too? ;)
Anyway, if an external keyboard works properly, the case is clear: the keyboard internal doesn t work properly and must be exchanged.
You can contact an authorized service provider. They can exchange for free due guarantee. It takes only a few days until you get your laptop repaired in return. :)

How gradually save images using a keyboard shortcut
What I hope to do is the following:
Draw a line, then
Press a shortcut key to play an Action.
Action needs save an incremental .jpeg
then select previous history state.
The goal is that whenever I try to cancel a mark, I have a copy of the image with error, creating a record of the process. I have absolutely no knowledge of scripting languages. I use it mainly as an alternative cancel key.
I'm working on a project in which I need to save "snapshots" of my progress. Basically, I work on a digital sketchbook and am trying to record the status of each brand, I do on the page. My workflow for this project contains a line design and then selecting previous state of history, erasing the lines, I don't want and overlay of the ones I do. The idea being that I can catalog my entire workflow and progress in a series of images to display on my blog of sketchbook. This is part of a project long term to track improvements and I'm following this ideal for a multitude of images every day.
I guess all I ask because here's a script that will run and save a JPEG of the current .psd, adding a suffix "_001, _002, _003" in behalf of file, check if the current suffix is taken and changing the following. This way I can catalogue the "snapshots" of mutiple images in the same folder.
With the help of Photoshop CS5 on OSX Snow Leopard.
Try this...
#target photoshop main(); function main(){ if(!documents.length) return; var Name = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, ''); try{ var savePath = activeDocument.path; }catch(e){ alert("You must save this document first!"); } var fileList= savePath.getFiles(Name +"*.jpg").sort().reverse(); var Suffix = 0; if(fileList.length){ Suffix = Number(fileList[0].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '').match(/\d+$/)); } Suffix= zeroPad(Suffix + 1, 3); var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + Name + "_" + Suffix + ".jpg"); SaveJPEG(saveFile, 8); } function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){ jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions(); jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true; jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE; jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE; jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality; activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE); }; function zeroPad(n, s) { n = n.toString(); while (n.length < s) n = '0' + n; return n; };

Hi people,
I'm using Ctrl + B to "BOLD" text in my document; but he chooses randomly between the text in bold vs bookmarking page... it gets really annoying. How can I disable bookmarking page by using Ctrl + B? I'm trying just to bold text... I don't care about bookmarking
I also try to highlight the text using Ctrl + U; He noted sometimes and other times, shows a grid on the page. How prevents having these contradictory effects by using the same command?

Enter the current time using a keyboard shortcut
Is it possible to enter the current time in a PDF form using hotkey (s)?
Use it as an event on the field Focus (it works better then the mouse upward, in fact):
Event.Target.Value = util.printd ("HH: mm/dd-mm-yyyy", new Date());
You can remove the custom validation script.
