Sierra: key control and command swap?

Hi all

I use the option to swap the keys of my command and control, but it does not work on my 5 k new Imac. It did not work in El Capitan. I have already reset the NVRAM but no luck, the control keys keep order and even for my control keys. Bug?

Kind regards

Peter

Thank you for using communities of support from Apple, PeterWeter!

Congratulations on your new iMac! I see that your iMac on macOS Sierra is not allowing you to change your key options. Since I have been hit most of my adult life, is not able to use any key how I need you would slow me down.  I'll be happy to help you.

Try safe mode if your Mac does not start -boot in safe mode is a great way to make sure that everything starts correctly.

What is safe mode?

Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening. From your Mac in safe mode does the following:

  • Check your startup disk and attempts to fix problems if necessary directory
  • Loads needed kernel extensions only
  • Prevents elements start and the login items open automatically
  • Disables the user installed fonts
  • Delete font caches, hiding the kernel and other files of the system cache

Once your iMac starts up in safe mode, you should be able to define the keys on your keyboard as you want.

See you soon!

  • Key control and command key in Lion mountain/Fusion 5

    The behavior of the control and command keys have changed with the Mountain Lion and Fusion 5. I don't know what changed the behavior change, but I'm looking for guidance. More specifically, in my Win7 clients running Outlook 2010, I used to be able to enter a meeting in the calendar, hold down the control key and copy the meeting to another time/day. That no longer works.

    Secondly, when I click command + tab to scroll through all my open programs on the host Mac computer, start of Win7 menu opens automatically. This never used to happen.

    I tried tweaking the mappings of keys and the behavior of the mice, but can't seem to recreate the behavior I had on Lion/Fusion 4.

    Have you tried ctrl and the alt key at the same time.  It works for me.

  • Using a control of the chain with the Enter key, return * and * allowing repeated identical entry

    Hi all

    There must be a simple solution for this, but it's Friday afternoon, and my brain is not cooperating.

    I create a simple terminal through which a user can interact with an instrument. My question is about the only query string control. The button send and the Terminal Table are here for reference.

    Here is my desired behavior:

    (a) the user types a command in the field of the query, tape input or return. An event is triggered, and the request is sent to the instrument. The focus remains on the field in the query.

    (b) with any other action the interface user, the user types Enter or return again and again, by triggering an event that sends the request to the instrument every time Enter or return is typed. The focus remains on the field in the query.

    Here's what I have:

    This allows for one), but fails to b). The reason is, because the value of the field in the query has not changed, change value event does not fire when the user starts to spam keys enter or return. There is a way around this, as suggested by this post. Here is the solution in a few words:

    Instead of looking for the change in the value of the query command, the event fires for each key event to the bottom of the control and resembles a pressure of enter key or return. What attracts the user action, even if the content of the field of the request have not changed. The problem with this approach is that, when this event fires, I need to read the value of the query string order and send it to the instrument, but the value I get via the local Variable query is the old value, probably because the key down event fires before the value of query is saved as changed. Is there a way to programatically "enter" the contents of the control channel so it is recorded as a change in value, until I have the question via a local Variable? Is there a different way I should go about it? I'd rather not do anything that bound the input keys or return to this particular area, since I have many other UI elements that need these keys in my program.

    If not, is there a way to make the control of the fire 'Change of value' query string event when the user presses enter or return even if the value has not changed?

    Thank you for your comments!

    I thought about it.

    (1) control of the string (query) a value of update while typing.

    (2) save the key event down to the control of the chain. If the entry or return was pressed, send the state machine to the State 'send request '.

    (3) in the application 'send' State read control channel via the local Variable value.

    This is the desired behavior to allow the user repeatedly hit entry or return to regularly send a command, and the user can also type in a new order and send it by pressing enter or return.

    Thanks to all who have helped me this something to think about!

  • After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and are not working properly.

    After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and do not work properly (I already tried several keyboards and is not Firefox or Chrome). This behavior is exacerbated in Illustrator CC, but also affect all programs and even my office. It drives me crazy, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    Mi IMac is a 27-inch, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, and use a Wacom Intuos Pro.

    Could possibly be interfering with the entry Wacom drivers.

    Start safe mode and see if there are still have the problem there. Safe mode is slow and some things do not work, but it prevents some third-party boot loading software. If your keyboard works properly in Mode without fail, this would imply that some third-party software is causing the problem. If so, check the updates.

    It also takes more time to start because the BONE is clean some system caches that can also help.

    Key control (ctrl) zooms window can not copy, paste, etc. using the function without the Zoom window key before, this does not happen with other browsers, it started about 3 weeks, possibly after the last update of firefix, windows 8

    When I scroll down a page, it automatically rises to the top. Not sure this is strictly related to Firefox.

    Modification of the foregoing did nothing for me (restarted my browser to make sure) If update the following to 1 (let's me still use the mouse wheel to scroll the page) worked like a charm

  • A copy of the Sierra of MacOS and travel on the same volume

    I installed a new copy of the Sierra of MacOS, and most things seem to be well-oiled. However, I noticed that when I copy a file and paste it on the same volume, a copy of it remains in the original location. So, by example, if I download a file in the Downloads folder and then copy this file in Documents, a copy of the file remains in the folder downloads. On previous versions of Mac OS x, the default action might have to move the file of Di-ownloads of Documents. Is it possible to recover this feature?

    Another totally independent question is I see also that Terminal does not save orders, after its closure. So if I entered a command then close Terminal, after the reopening, I have to type the same command again. On older versions of Mac OS x, we could simply use the arrow keys to navigate through previous orders. Is it possible to recover this feature?

    Try the press / hold down the command key while you click and drag a file from one folder to another. Like El Capitan, this should move the file.

    About Terminal, the up/down arrows always work for me to remind the right Terminal commands like they did with El Capitan.

  • A way to group controls and indicators on the Front Panel and that they can be made Visible or not as a group?

    I would like to combine several orders and LEDs on the front panel in a group in a way that allows me to do the whole group Visible or not.

    I tried to use a Cluster, but it has a side effect that all elements must be inside the controls or indicators, but not mixed.

    Is there any graphic element, like a panel that can contain other controls and indicators on the inside and make them Visible or not as a group regardless of whether they are commands or the LEDs?

    Good suggestions on how to do this?

    Hi Ise,

    If you are using a UK keyboard you must ensure that the United Kingdom is selected in the "Region and language" section of the control panel. Open Control Panel and click the language and region. Once the window opens, click the keyboard and languages tab. In the keyboard tab window, click the button of "change of keyboard". In this window check that the English (United Kingdom) is the default language in the "default input language section dialog box. If it is USA then click on the arrow down and change it to the United Kingdom. If UK is not there, then click on the Add button to add this language.

  • Since the update to firefox 10.0 (and then 10.0.1), the bottom of the Page, the Page Up keys, start and end work correctly. Is that what someone else has this problem, and are there any suggestions for a fix?

    for example, I read a Web page, when I push the bottom of the keyboard Page, sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes the page scroll a few lines but then does not continue to scroll down when I push the key several times. Sometimes the page immediately jumps to the bottom of the page; etc. Similar issues occur, in the direction towards the top, when I press the Page up key. The keys start and end are completely "dead", because the page does not move when I press them.
    It is important to note that all these keys work as usual when I open the browser Chrome or Internet Explorer, and other applications in which keys should be functional, so this problem is specific to Firefox.
