I'm using TextExpander 5. Is it possible to use a keyboard instead of a mouse then working with a popup window with importing choices? Like, if I don't want to include a section I'd rather use my keyboard to uncheck a checkbox then reaching out for a mouse.
Thanks.
Actually completed such task by using Mac OS X built-in ability to TAB focusing on non-inputable UI elements.
You can change it at System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
At a bottom of a window you will found «Full Keyboard Access». This guy will help you to do that I was hoping to get (and finally got).
If you are interested in following my adventures on this, go here https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-count-how-many-times-a-key-was-pressed-since-boot/6618/15
tldr version of the link above;
Found somewhat "almost-there" solution. I can check current status of this option by typing in terminal:
defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
It will return 0 (off) or 2 (on) dependent of current setting.
Right now, I'm using Keyboard Maestro Macro for doing this.

Recently, FoxitReader for Linux was officially introduced and I love it.
http://www.webupd8.org/2015/09/foxit-pdf-reader-sees-new-linux-release.html
However, somehow FoxitReader does not support shortcut keys for any comment tools. This is quite inconvenience for me, especially when I have to use the trackpad of my laptop to select the tool first.
So I would like to ask if is there any way to configure the shortcut keys of FoxitReader?
I do not see this feature in the preference of FoxitReader, so looking into the configuration files of FoxitReader in Linux could be a possible solution. But I am don't know how to do it.
Thanks for taking time reading my post!
Not sure for linux but in window u can do this
Right click on toolbar at top
select customise quick access toolbar
then follow this
Update:
Foxit version 2.4.1
By default, they provide for highlight light text using Ctrl+h (Linux)
Unfortunately this feature is not currently available. I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer. We (Foxit) are currently working on adding shortcut keys in future versions.
Try:
Right-click the toolbar region -> Customize Toolbar -> choose the Keyboard tab -> choose the View menu -> change the shortcuts for Next Page and Previous Page.
See the shortcuts available in foxit.
For the newest version:
Right click the ribbon under the "Home" section.
Select customize ribbon.
Navigate to the keyboard tab
I used this specifically to set the highlight tool. The section to find the highlight tool option is not intuitive so if your interested in setting the highlight shortcut just navigate to the comment section.
It is impossible to customized the shortcut on the Linux version. But for the windows version, Adiii has provided the solutions.
Two commonly used shortcut, which is already predefined in the Linux version is
CTRL + L: highlight
CTRL + N: note
Hope it helps.
The FoxIt Linux version do not support keyboard customization, BUT we can easily use FoxIt (Windows) on Linux via Wine + PlayOnLinux.
I set it up on my Ubuntu 18 by:
Download the Foxit Windows version from https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader/
Install via PlayOnLinux. (including adding a shortcut to the FoxitReader.exe)
Move the shortcut FoxitReader.desktop to the .local/share/applications and select any pdf file > properties > set the default application as FoxitReader.
This gives me the power of keyboard shortcut customization at a small price of slightly longer startup time.
The answer provided by user Adiii is sufficient above.
I would like to add,
the default option to highlight on foxit linux is ctrl + H
that option is occupied on windows for entering reading mode, since u would be highlighting more than entering the reading mode, assining alt+H to reading mode and assigning ctrl + H to highlight is the prudent choice.
Is there a shortcut for focusing the Filter box in tool windows, specifically the Change Log?
See the attached screenshot to know which field I'm talking about. I searched the net and key map, but found nothing like that.
I have confirmed at Jetbrains that unfortunately it's not possible yet: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/message/5520523#5520523
Just start typing with the focus inside the tool window. IDEA invokes the search automatically. To select the item, press Enter. To cancel, press Esc.
This feature is called Tool Window Speed Search.
IntelliJ IDEA 13 has the new Search Anywhere feature. It sounds like it might be useful, but so far it just gets in the way. It's mapped to some kind of magical shift-based shortcut, and it comes up every time I try to shift-click to select text. When this happens, the pop-up flickers and gets into some stuck state, so the only way to get rid of it is to click in the editor pane, which of course loses the selection.
I call the shortcut "magical" because the Search Everywhere action appears in the Settings → Keymap list with no mapping, so I can't remove this mapping the usual way. Searching the dialog for search gives no relevant results.
How can I disable this buggy feature until it's ready for production use, and get back the ability to select text?
To disable the "Search everywhere" feature, you need to invoke "Go to action" (Ctrl+Shift+A), then type "Registry...".
Scroll down to "ide.suppress.double.click.handler" and check the box.

After updating to build 133.331, I tried assigning a normal shortcut to it in Settings → Keymap, and that made it stop appearing on double-shift.
The settings for the new version have changed
Version: IDEA 2021.2.3
Preference > Advanced Settings
Scroll down to "User Interface", find "Disable double modifier key shortcuts" and check the box.
It's called Search Everywhere, and it's present in keymap.
For me it's perfectly disabled.
EDIT As I'v found it is hardcoded now, and will popup at doubleshift source
There is also an issue at jira, about this problem.
I hope it will be fixed soon.
from: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-161094
In IDEA 2021.2:
You could enable the Settings (Preference on macOS) |
Advanced Settings | Disable double modifier key shortcuts option to
disable it.
This problem is still present under linux (ubuntu amd64 16.10 ) on Android Studio using X11Rdp for remote connection, maybe in other situations too - the Search Everywhere dialog appear on single Shift press.
The answer is here
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-114933#comment=27-603899
Basically you need to
Open lib/resources.jar/idea/PlatformActions.xml and remove or comment such line:
<action id="SearchEverywhere" class="com.intellij.ide.actions.SearchEverywhereAction" />
and repack the jar.
Since end of 2017 you can add -Dide.suppress.double.click.handler=true to the custom VM options: cf. the answer from JetBrains.
This seems like a bug in IntelliJ 12: Every couple of times when I switch between keyboard layouts (English and Hebrew) IntelliJ get stuck on one of them and ignore the windows selected keyboard layout. This happens only for intelliJ, all other programs respond as usual to the windows selected keyboard layout.
Is there at least a workaround, or a way to reset IntelliJ's keyboard layout? The only thing that seems to work for me so far is restarting my machine...
(My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit)
This is 100% reproduced when you switch keyboard layout in quick class search (Ctrl+N). Also in intellij idea 13.
Something like:
Open quick search menu when keyboard is not in English layout (Russian e.g.)
Type anything
Switch to English
Congratulations! you stuck in russian layout :) restart your intellij idea!
When I ceased to switch layout in search, I forgot about this problem.
UPD: it's suitable for most part of text inputs (even for search and file creation)
I've just had this problem on PyCharm 2020.2.3
Here's how I've solved it:
Go to Settings -> Keymap
At the bottom of the window, check the option Use national layouts for shortcuts (require restart)
That did the trick
restarting IntelliJ also works.
I wonder how they managed to get such a stupid bug, this is not an easy bug to write, especially in Java.
That was found to be more like a global Microsoft/Oracle bug. Simple workaround from IntelliJ's issue tracker: use Windows' language parameters to assign a hotkey (Ctrl + number) for changing the layout directly to a desired language. This suddenly will affect both Windows And IDEA. It's said that bug was fixed in Win8. A bit more info: here
In 2020 bug is still relevant in the most IDEs based on IntelliJ. For example I observe this in PyCharm now.
There is workaround for Windows:
Go to Language Bar - Settings... - Advanced Key Settings
Set key sequence of To English action to Ctrl + 1
Set key sequence of to other your language to Ctrl + 2
Apply
Go to IntelliJ/PyCharm and switch language by new sequences
After that bug disappears and you can switch language by traditional method
For me the following actions seem to resolve the issue:
Go to Control Panel
Select Clock, Language & Region
Press Region
In the opened window choose English for Format.
Also all my settings except the location are set to English (locale, default keyboard etc.)
This fix worked on my mac, access Preferences -> Editor -> Typing Corrector from the intellij IDEA menu. If you are able to navigate to the same window on your OS, you can try this.
Uncheck Enable keyboard layout correction in the Typing Corrector window
I got the same issue in Ubuntu 16.04. Restarting IDEA doesn't change anything. But Changing the default layout to be the one I want by default ensured ubuntu work well with it.
Go to the search textfield above file editor.
Switch layout.
Type smth.
Click somwhere in the file editor.
Write smth with swithed layout.
I'm new to the XCode IDE, Mac and IOS programming. Means that I'll swap a lot between help and editor. However when using Cmd+Tab I'll not swap between help and IDE but between other open apps.
Does anyone know a short cut to switch between IDE and help?
OPT+Cmd+? will bring the help in XCode (the shortcut is mentioned if you go to the help section)
use 1. in combination with CMD+' to scroll through all open projects / windows within XCode.
You can have a look to this page: it refers all XCode shortcuts and gesture.
The default shortcut to open the Organizer is Cmd+Shift+2, which you can edit in the Preferences of Xcode if you want.
There is also a shortcut which will directly bring you to the Documentation tab: Cmd+Alt+?.
Additionally, you can set a shortcut to switch between the windows of the active app in System Preferences → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts. The default is Cmd+< but I prefer Alt+Tab.
Command-Option-Shift-/ (a.k.a. Command-Option-?) will bring up the documentation window.
Also, you can cycle between windows within an application with Command-` (works in any application). You can use that to switch easily between a project window and other open windows, including the documentation window.
Command-Tab cycles between applications, not windows.
Note that the keyboard shortcut for a given menu command will be displayed in the menu along with the command (this is true for any application):
If you are on Mountain Lion (not sure if it works on earlier versions), you can also use the 4 finger scroll (Mission Control shortcut) if you prefer. With the Organizer (help) open, use 4 fingers and swipe upwards to reveal mission control. On top you'll see virtual desktops. Drag and drop your Organizer/help window onto the second desktop. Now you can flick right or left with 4 fingers on your trackpad to switch between code view and help. I know this sounds complicated but once you get used to it, it becomes second nature. But yeah Cmd + ~ is good too.
