Switch to the window, I chose

I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro using OS X 10.9.5.

I almost always have several windows open at the same time and it is often too quick to click on the window, I want to use (or should anyway!) on the use of the Toggle shortcut (cmd-tab, for example). But lately even if I click on a window, my Mac randomly selects another window to really focus (often one), then I start typing and find that I type completely of the false document. It's incredibly frustrating. No one knows how to stop the Mac this?

PS I just tried with the Toggle shortcut (cmd - tab), and again, it does not take into account my choice and chooses another app/window

  • How to switch to the window of the book

    Dear friends and experts,

    After completing a certain number of actions on the files in a book, the last document is open and active.

    Now I should re - activate the address book window to perform another series of actions (running through the components of the book).

    I have not found a method to switch/turn on to book window in a script.

    if (app.FirstOpenBook.ObjectValid()){
      alert ("We have a book") };
    else { alert ("There is no book in this session")};
    

    With that, I can assure that there is a book, but how to make it active?

    Hi Klaus,

    You can store the book object in a variable, then you can refer to it later. So, you could do this:

    if (app.FirstOpenBook.ObjectValid ()) {
        var book = app.FirstOpenBook;
    }
    else {
        alert ("There is no open book in this session.");
    }
    

    or if the book is active during startup:

    if (app.ActiveBook.ObjectValid ()) {
        var book = app.ActiveBook;
    }
    else {
        alert ("There is no active book.");
    }
    

    Now when you need to reference the book in the code later, just use the variable book line 02.

  • How to switch between multiple windows in the same application?

    Hello

    I use OS X Capitan version 10.11.13 and I'm trying to find an easy way to switch between multiple windows in the same application by using CTRL + alt or different keys.

    Here is what I feel...

    Let's say I have Outlook, Google Chrome, Safari, iTunes and apps 'about this Mac' open.

    I open the new message window in Outlook and another Chrome window. I have therefore 2 separate windows in Outlook and Chrome.

    With that, I'm unable to move the composition and the window main outlook which is so annoying. Let's say I want to read the emails by the prospect main window and transfer of the content of the compose window! The command + tab doesn't take me to the main window of Microsoft outlook! Even if there were the last visited / applications window. This constraint is not intuitive, unless it can be configured in the settings?

    Strangely, I can't switch to the "about this Mac" window.

    The work around is to use the function (F3) mission button and click on the window, that I want to use or click the "Outlook" application on the dock icon and choose the window in the list.

    Does anyone know how switch between different windows in the same application by using a key combination or one another method other than listed above?

    Thank you

  • How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    Vista is not in control of this technique. Spy Sweeper needs to have an option to control that. If this isn't the case, then it is badly programmed. Flight of focus (go to another window) when it is actually needed is a big no-no for the design. I find this option, if I were you :)

  • Problems with the driver of the sensor on the windows 10 x 86 with the Acer Aspire Switch 10 E company

    Hello

    I installed windows 10 x 86 business on my Acer Aspire switch 10F, because there were 10 x 86 host windows install before and I couldn't get into my computer in the domain. Now, the computer is in the domain, but I have problems with drivers. I tried to install all the drivers that are on the site acer for my Acer Aspire switch 10F.

  • Default folders: How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    Here is an article on how to change this folder opens when you click on an icon in Windows Explorer:http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-windows-explorer-icon-to-open-a-diffierent-folder-in-windows-xp-and-vista.html.  I think this will do the trick. Otherwise, maybe the following can help (but I think that's the answer you're looking for).

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.  Keep in mind that it works, just a generic and holistic - it will not work for individual folders by folder.  That cannot be done in Vista.  But you can create shortcuts to the folders that you want and add to the desktop or right-click

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free programhttp://autosizer.en.softonic.com/to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

  • Switch between the Web Forms instantly and Windows 7

    Hi Newbie here.

    I bought a HP mini netbook for my wife for Christmas and anticipate one of his first questions when she opens Christmas day.

    The startup is very fast, connects directly to the instant web screen (and makes me a fast wireless connection - lucky) once in the Web now, by clicking on the icon windows closed its doors the instant web and you expect, boots up to the appearance of windows 7 things.

    However, it doesn't seem to be a shortcut/icon on the windows screen to switch quickly to the instant web.

    I ended up having to turn off and on so he can initiate instant web. Surely, it is not how it has been designed to work so my question--

    "When working in Windows 7 is an icon or a key combination shortcut that will bring instant Web screen back up again without having to re - start?

    Thank you

    MAME abdou

    PS. Sorry cannot list model etc because it has everything wrapped up now but thought it's probably a system/software between Windows 7 and HP Instant Web problem and thought someone may have already met it. If this isn't the case, I'll wait until she opened on Christmas day and list the required details.

    Sorting... in a way

    You simply can not pass successively Instant Web to Windows 7 and back again - period.

    Once in windows, you will need to restart the ' puter for it to start instant Web back up again - not very well thought in my humble OPINION.

    Oh it's a HP Mini 110 is said by the way.

I was hoping he would automatically as a Windows Live ID, but after installation I saw that my account was created as a local account, instead, I tried to click on 'Microsoft account switch', but I get an error indicating that a local account already exist with that account name. I tried to create a new local account and the newspaper on this account to delete my local account which is actually my live ID. I do not have the rights or I don't know how to do it.

    Any advice?

    -Open all the app

    -Manage

    -Added my local account as an admministrator

  • Control switch radio wireless (Fn + F5) via the Windows registry / software

    In a school environment, students have discovered that they can cause problems using the software switch Fn + F5 to turn off the Wifi radio. I know that the material LED turns off when this happens, but the teachers are too busy to identify it. The result is that users are unable to connect, and the Windows Welcome screen is not quite intuitive, which gives a message error "there currently no server connection.

    I am interested in applying a "fix" to this problem at startup. Maybe a fix Windows registry to "force" the Lenovo software switch to turn on the Wifi.

    I had a bag autour with a comparison of registry Interstate market and am currently getting the following (among other changes, such as DHCP etc.) diff:

    HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0018\RadioEnable: 0x00000000
    HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0018\RadioEnable: 0x00000001
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0018\RadioEnable: 0x00000000
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0018\RadioEnable: 0x00000001

    However, forcing these dwords to 0 x 1 doesn't seem to be enough to turn on the radio.

    Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there a BIOS/UEFI underlying setting that might be able to be accessed via the software?

    Acxtually that I found after searching a bit more. Can be controlled via the command line:

    "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\HOTKEY\TpFnF5.exe" /wlon
