When I want to run a certain line of code, pgAdmin will not let me highlight it. I can only highlight two characters at at time. I am using PostgreSQL 10 on windows 7 and it opens up in windows 7, can anyone help me?
For now I can only use shift to highlight stuff, it will not let me use the cursor.

For those who remember (or still use) Windows XP, you might remember that you could launch the start bar with your Windows key on your keyboard and then hit the letter of the program/folder/file you wanted and as long as there wasn't another program/folder/file on the start bar starting with the same letter, it'd launch right away.
e.g. If you wanted to open excel, you'd hit the windows key and press the letter "e" and excel would launch.
So, for those who do remember that feature, I'm wondering, is there any way to get that functionality back in Windows 8.1? Right now, what happens is that when you hit the windows key, Metro pops up (which is fine) but if you type "e", for example, windows will automatically start searching instead of just launching Excel (or whatever letter you've typed).
I'd rather keep the interface as it is and, if possible, prefer not to install any 3rd party software (unless there's no other go). My preference is to be able to utilize the OS to get that option (if available), even if that includes going through regedit.
Just a note, I am already aware that 8.1 and XP are completely different architectures and I also realize that automatic searching does have its benefits but I prefer that specific XP functionality so it'd be great if I could get it back in 8.1.
Thanks in advance for your help.
This isn't the exact thing that I'm looking for but I've found somewhat of a workaround. You can create global keyboard shortcuts and thereby circumvent the metro/start screen altogether.
To do so, create a shortcut of the program/folder/file you want to easily access (the shortcut can be placed anywhere). Then, go to the properties of the shortcut and go to the shortcut tab where you can enter a global shortcut key (about half way down the box).
Of course, there are limitations to this because there are only a few keys (key combinations) free that you can use globally whereas with the XP method I was looking for, you could essentially have up to 36 different items you can access with just two keystrokes (26 letters, 10 numbers - not sure if other characters worked).
If anyone has figured out the XP method, though, that would be great.
I have recently switched to the Workman keyboard layout, I use auto-hotkey to map some keys back to ctrl-c ctrl-v as I really can't get used to that shift.
However on my home computer no mapping was necessary - it seems that whenever I hit ctrl it switches back to qwerty for that shortcut. This is actually extremely useful as all my shortcuts in Visual Studio etc remain the same, but I have NO IDEA how I managed to make this occur.
Windows 7 at home, Windows 8 here at work, different keyboard drivers as I had installed Workman at home yonks ago.
Does anyone know how I can acheive the "ctrl = qwerty else workman" behavior I see at home?
If I want to stop my code from executing on a PC, I know I just need to press ctrl+break. But since my Mac has no "break" key I am not sure what to do?
What is the equivalent in Mac?
Use ⌘. on Mac to stop the code.
The ⌘ . or ctrl ESC keys do not function exactly like on the PC. They do not break to the debugger on a modal dialog box. Use ESC ESC (Press the ESC twice) to bring up a dialog that allows you to enter the debugger at the location in code of the dialog box display. Tested in Excel VBA 2011
cntrl-esc works like cntrl-break on my macbook pro to stop Excel vba running under Windows 7.
Apologies for resurrecting this. This is the first result on a google search so I figured I should answer.
Working in IDEs within a windows VM environment on Mac (eg: Visual Basic for Applications) the command is actually fn + esc
I am working on a Mac. I use Cmd+Option+Esc to stop my code.
I'm wondering if there's a way to reliably retrieve all open VALID windows in all spaces?
The problem I'm encountering now is that on programs like Microsoft Word for Mac there are lots of child windows, resulting in my list being muddied by blank windows with no title, or windows that just don't lead anywhere. For example, for Word I'm getting these 3 windows when I only have 1 document open:
Document 1
Microsoft Word
Desktop
All are from Microsoft Word, and same goes for Excel and Powerpoint, the problem seems to be pretty exclusive to the Microsoft Office suite. Any ideas on how to deal with windows that don't actually have anything?
You can try to correlate with Accessibility (you don't mention how you're getting the window list right now), or just use some heuristics (ignore windows with no title, no workspace number, look at the window tag bits, etc.). Pull up the window list in Quartz Debug, browse around and you'll see some differences. If the window is visible, you can also hold down Control-Option with Quartz Debug in the background to get a pop up HUD with some more detailed information about the window underneath the cursor.
If you're really desperate you could grab the window contents and see if they're all transparent or white.
I have an issue where a program that runs fine under windows xp has stopped working with windows 7. The application appears to start fine then disappears with only the taskbar icon remaining. If you hover over the taskbar icon you can see the application and it kind of looks correct but selecting it does nothing. I cannot seem to get the application to actually appear. Has anyone experienced anything like this and is aware of any possible solutions?
Recent builds have worked with windows 7 in the past and I don't believe any significant changes were made before this issue arrived.
Thanks
It may be the program is running but somewhere off screen. Shift-right-click the taskbar button and select "Move." Press the arrow keys to begin the move, then move your mouse to attach the movement to the mouse cursor. See if that brings the app to the primary monitor.
If not, you may have an incompatibility issue which will require more research/investigation.
Holding down the Windows key and the letter P at the same time will allow you to change your projector settings. Select the "Duplicate" option. As mentioned above, this usually occurs when you typically use a dual monitor but switch to a single monitor.
