problems with the shortcut icons

When I click on the icons to access my program shortcuts, nothing happens.  I can open the start menu and click there and they work.  I'm not very computer savy and I wonder if I did something inadvertently turned them off. Is there a way to check this?  If this is not the case, how to make them come back?

  • Problems with the shortcut keys, suggestions?

    I have an Asus computer is a portable computer, N56VM. I have problems with my shortcut keys. I can use is no longer the fn + key that usually let me adjust the back of my bright keyboard commands, or my volume (mute, raise/lower the volume), however, my brightness on the monitor shortcuts keyboard still works, and so did my black screen key. Oh, and also, my toggle mouse shortcut is not no longer works. I was looking at the forums, and I upgraded my bios and also reinstalled my ATKPI files and still nothing.

  • [Windows] Problem with the shortcut to activate directly between the selection and

    Hi all

    Sorry to ask such a silly question, but I have searched on the web for hours without finding the answer. So, I come to you guys, hoping you have the magic answer.

    My problem is that I have recently moved to Illustrator CS5 after using Illustrator 10 for a very long time. I use a lot the keyboard and the mouse to draw in Illustrator and a shortcut has been replaced and I can't find a new job.

    In the pen (or any other tool), mode I press Ctrl for quick selection tool, very handy. But I used to press Ctrl + Tab to switch between the direct selection tool selection tool and vice versa. In CS5, this shortcut has been replaced by switching between the various documents (which makes more sense) and the new command according to the help (ctrl + alt + tab) file does not work on Windows (Vista) as it switches between programs rather than selection tools. the only solution I have is manually selecting the desired tool, which interrupt the flow somehow...

    Can someone help me? Thank you very much

    Michael

    It's a solution, even if I don't know how to re - allocate such command (toggle selection). (Edit: actually, I found where it was possible: Edit-> keyboard shortcuts-> Menu commands-> other Select-> switch selection tools)

    I always have the feeling that there is a shortcut to this command. Even the help file adobe Web site and specify the command ctrl + alt + tab for windows, which is stupid because it is clearly in conflict with windows shortcuts.

    Any other idea?

  • Problem with the shortcut menu custom BB10

    Hi all

    I am currently trying to implement a context menu that is customized with my webworks app. So far I'm not creating a normal webworks / bbUI app, but I'm trying to add some features of bbUI. So to speak, I have a few different elements in my application, each of them triggers the context menu, as expected. So far so good. But now I have some problems to detect which element / div has triggered the call from context menu. How can I get this information?

    I add the context menu like this:

    var contexts = [blackberry.ui.contextmenu.CONTEXT_ALL];
    var itemRead = {
        actionId: 'actionRead',
        label: 'Read Article',
        icon:'../assets/images/new/add.png'
    };
    
    blackberry.ui.contextmenu.addItem(contexts, itemShare, function(arg1) {
        console.log("itemShare: " + arg1);
    });
    

    But as I have already described arg1 is null, and I have no idea on how to detect the appellant.

    Can someone help me, please?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    See you soon,.

    Sven

    You need the feature called custom context. This will give you that you the information on that DIV has been pressed. When you set your DIV, add a tag called:data-webworks-context

    Thus your div would look something like this:

    1
    2
    3
    blackberry.ui.contextmenu.addItem(contexts, itemShare, function(id) {
        console.log("itemShare: " + id);
    });
    

    You are passing a JSON for the CCM object and asking him to come back to you, the ID of the item that called the context menu, so you can do a job. Let me know if that helps
