Keyboard shortcut for close tab (CTRL + W) does NOT work for PDF tabs. Why? Solution?

Hello

I had to use the keyboard rather than the mouse or trackpad pretty much recently due to injury. At the closing of the tabs, CTRL + W seems to do. However, it does not always work. It does not work with PDFs and often on YouTube as well.

What I've read, it's because of the development of collection of plugins. However, isn't there a way to replace it, because it's pretty heavy from the accessibility point of view?

Thank you!

Hello, in regard to a PDF file, you may want to try the extension pdf.js (there could be still some bugs, but it is under very active development) - it makes PDF files with common web technology & shouldn't trap keyboard focus...

  • CTRL + c does not work in ff 25

    CTRL + c does not work in 25 FF in normal mode or in safe mode.
    I use win 8.1

    Hello

    I have not heard of 25 FF origin of this particular problem, but I've heard other programs such as ZoneAlarm and QTranslate causing the problem on specific versions of Firefox.

    For example these two previous requests for support: here and here.

    The best way to test it is probably for a boot Windows safe with networking. Then see if you have the same problem in Firefox. If the problem does not appear Windows safe mode, then you can be sure that another application (security software most likely) is at the origin of the problem.

    If the issue still seems Windows safe mode then I suggest to try a restart of Firefox:

    Firefox - modules to reset and refresh settings

    This will return the default settings for Firefox. Your bookmarks and history will be saved, but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.

  • JavaScript works with an alert, but does not work without it. Why?

    This happened to me before, but I was able to solve my problem. Now I'm not.

    Let me explain: I have a javascript function which I call when I double click on a line on a table:

    [code]

    function CallServ (evt) {}
    source var = evt.getSource ();

    AdfCustomEvent.queue (source, "call",
    {
    },

    (false);

    auxDblClick.call (this, source);
    }

    function auxDblClick (CBC) {}
    split var = src.toString () .split ('=');
    var idButton = split [1];
    var split2 = idButton.split(':');
    okButton = split2 var [0].concat(':');
    for (var i = 1; i & lt; (split2.length - 1); i ++) {}
    okButton = okButton.concat (split2 [i], ' :');)
    }
    okButton = okButton.concat ('dc_cb1');
    var comp = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent (okButton);
    Alert (COMP);
    AdfActionEvent.queue (comp, comp.getPartialSubmit ());

    }

    [/ code]

    As you can see, my alert line is commented. If it is not commented, the "auxDblClick" feature works very well: it will print the model on the alert, and then it will perform the action of the dc_cb1 button. However, when I commented the alert function, it stops working.

    I have PartialTrigger set to "true" on my dc_cb1 button and the clientComponent is set to 'true '. I've also set to true ClientComponent on the table, but it does not work.

    So, why the function working with alert, but does not work with the alert off the coast? What Miss me?


    P.S: jdev version 11.1.2.4.0

    I found the solution:

    Before the "AdfActionEvent.queue (comp, comp.getPartialSubmit ());" line, I used the update function. Like this:

          var t = document.getElementById (okButton);
       
          t.Focus ();

    Now everything works fine

  • How to access the address bar via the BT keyboard? (ctrl-l does not work)

    Having a whole bluetooth keyboard connected to my Android tablet, I can't really use it well with Firefox, as there is no way to reach the address bar using the keyboard. CTRL-L because it works on the desktop doesn't seem to work on Android tablet.

    Is there a different key combination to achieve this, has she been neglected (as is normally not available on Android), or am I missing something obvious?

    Are taken in charge for the keyboard shortcuts for entering text. However, you are right that the shortcuts such as ctrl + l do not work. We have an open question on this feature but do not have a precise timetable for its implementation.

  • T410 CTRL key does not work after update BIOS to 1.45 (German keyboard)

    Dear community,

    I updated the BIOS of my TP T410 (2522), German keyboard, to 1.45. After the update, both CTRL keys don't work anymore. Ditto for the AltGr key. When I switch to CTRL FN in the FN key BIOS - as supposed - works like the CTRL key. But when I turn off again the FN returns to his good funtion and CTRL does not work.

    When I connect an external keyboard via USB it works perfectly.

    Any suggestions how get the CTRL key works again?

    Best regards, Simon

    turns out be a hardware fault. Swapped keyboard and it works again.

  • Shortcut Ctrl C does not work in the main window of Firefox

    I use Firefox version 38.0.5, Windows 7
    Since the update Ctrl + C shortcut does not work in the main window of Firefox. (I can't copy text from any website using Ctrl + C).

    Click right and using the copy in the menu works perfectly. CTRL V and Ctrl X work fine without problem.

    Ctrl C works fine when copying text from the address bar and search bar, I just can't copy anything from anything in the main window of firefox.
    

    I tried to run Firefox in safe mode, I have also reset firefox and a virus scanner, but nothing has solved the problem.

    If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Thank you

  • CTRL key does not work as expected

    Original title: keyboard Help!
     
    There is a recurring issue going on with my keyboard or very probably my pc...
    Well first to start with - I use a software type "ventrilo" called "mumble" that uses the 'CTRL' key as a key to talk with others in the same precedente.* *-could be a reason
    My CTRL key seems really screw randomly until that moment, it turn on sticky keys [where ctrl has practically been pressed permanently] even if it is not enabled on the settings... which makes it really difficult to browse web site or use games because I'm unable to type.
    Even if I try to disable it by using the two keys ctrl - it does not turn off...
    When I try to copy and paste using my CTRL key left it appears just under the letter c or v when I'm trying to do, but when I do it with my right ctrl - it is successful...
    * steam question *.
    I use also a program called "steam" that allows me to talk with others and play some games - but the sticky keys seem to be really stuck on this issue, I am unable to do anything...
    Whenever I press 'a' after that it is already used once - it will remove 2 characters: example: I type AGT-> and I press 'a' once more-> deletions G and T
    or whenever I have press BACKSPACE at all during a conversation of steam, it deletes everything.
    Urgent W on it also a tab or an im window closed on...
    pressing V will paste what I had copied at all, and finally pressing z would substitute a letter - for example: za-> type z once more-> towers to zz
    I hope you understand what I'm talking... help? Thank you...

    Hello Kent,

    Let us make sure that this isn't a keyboard problem. Connect a different keyboard to see if the CTRL key is working.  If it works fine, then it is a problem of faulty device. You may need to replace the driver.

    If this does not work on the new keyboard, then it must be a setting in the software that you have installed that is causing this problem.

    As a work around, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard and check if this solves this problem.

    1. type of Device Manager in the Start Search box and press on enter.

    2. browse the keyboard.

    3. right click on the mentioned keyboard driver and select Uninstall.

    4. once the driver is uninstalled, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Note: Windows will automatically detect the keyboard and install the necessary driver via Windows updates.

    See 't-working-properly#update-driver-hardware-isn't-working-properly=windows-7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/update-driver-hardware-isn

    If the keyboard print incorrect characters, then try the steps mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258826

    I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

  • Where did my research have to go (Ctrl + F does not work)

    Until today, I could search for web pages with Ctrl + F. It stopped working today. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it still doesn't work. It does not work when I use the Find command.

    It is possible that the screen is too high and that the search bar falls to the bottom.



    Open the system menu via Alt + space and see if you can resize the window.

    If it works, then close Firefox to save the setting.

  • Satellite P305D-S8828 keyboard missing my typing and FN + F9 does not work

    Hello everyone.

    I'm new on this forum. Im sorry for my bad English right now. I hope I can explain my problems.
    I just bought a laptop computer to the United States with a great price. It's a great laptop, but there are 2 problems and they have big problems of r for me.
    It's Toshiba Satalite P305D-S8828 which is not available in europe, only sell in the United States.
    This is the link:
    http://explore.Toshiba.com/laptops/satellite/p300/P305D-S8828

    Laptop keyboard seems kind and gentle and good typing, but especially on a msn messenger box or forum page response, when I type, he's missing part of my typings? I mean, I used to use my quick keyboard, but it's like he's not pressing all the buttons, but I really rely on the letters. So the things I write are mixed, not understandable cos of lack of the letters.

    This isn't my first laptop. I used a bit more before, but nothing like this has happened before.
    It doesn't always happen, but generally occurs.
    I don't know what to do and this really do my head.
    I use Vista Ultimate Turkish. Don't you think that it is an OS problem? Or maybe the bios? More later (v1.90) I heard the same problem happened to some Fujitsu Siemens laptops, but it has been resolved with a bios upgrade. I hope you understand my problem and someone help me.

    My second problem is that my FN + F9 (function key) does not work. But some of them work, like FN + F1, FN + F2, FN + F3... work but FN + F9 does NOT work? :(
    I want to disable the touchpad when I plug my usb mouse, but I can't do it using FN + F9. My touchpad driver is installed and my OS is Vista Ultimate. Could you help me for that too?

    I hope that answering my questions.
    Thank you now
    all the loves of Turkey
    EMRAH

    Go to the Toshiba site us and download the latest version of the BIOS. Having the latest version of the BIOS is important on the new models.

    For the issue of the Touchpad, download and install the latest package of added value for the P305D and reinstall the driver from the Touchpad.
    If you have installed the drivers for your mouse USB (for example drivers Logitech or Microsoft), remove them. They may be in conflict with the Touchpad

  • MacBook pro 2015 stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode after commissioning, recognizes on the keyboard and track pad. SMC reset does not work.

    My Macbook Pro 2015 stopped periodically (and now permanently discontinued) responding on keyboard and touch pad Board. This seemed to start at the same time, I got a Bluetooth headset; When I turn on the computer, he's stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode. I tried to reset the SMC, and it does not work. I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard to even try with it. Also, I can't start in safe mode. It seems completely blocked. Any help you might be able to offer would be great!

    Hello rad trp,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your post, I understand that your keyboard and trackpad on your MacBook Pro are unresponsive and now you see the Bluetooth set up screen on the computer. I also see that you tried to reset the SMC, but that doesn't seem to work because the built-in keyboard do not respond.

    I know that you do not have a bluetooth keyboard, you can connect, but you have a USB keyboard? Even a USB keyboard for a computer Windows will work. If you do, I would say connection that the keyboard and you use these keys to perform an SMC reset, but reset the PRAM as well. Instructions on both of these resets can be found in the links below if you need.
