Try it yourself:
In file explorer when you keep the alt-key held down then keytips appear on the ribbon.
I want to prevent this behavior. In short, I want to disable alt-key held-down behavior but keep alt+anyOtherKey shortcuts enabled.
In AutoHotkey I tried the code:
Alt::return
It disables alt-key single-press but does not disable alt-key held-down behavior. Any ideas?
Try
~LAlt::vk07
or
~LAlt::
~RAlt::
Send {Blind}{vk07}
return

I have no problem setting a wait cursor via WM_SETCURSOR and no problem disabling the form using EnableWindow() but I can't disable the window and get a wait cursor at the same time? When the Window (CFormView) is disabled there are no calls to WM_SETCURSOR so the cursor doesn't change. BeginWaitCursor() and EndWaitCursor() don't help. I can do it over the CMainFrame but I only want the form to be disabled and all the other tabs and windows to work properly.
What am I missing to make it work?
Thanks.
When you define CWaitCursor, the Wait Cursor will appear throughout the existence of the code block, regardless of the window being enabled or disabled.
In the cobalt browser, when I press the F1 key, the browser automatically pop up a DevTools window. There are the following information in this window: Cobalt.Lifetime, DevTools.Server, Event.Duration.MainWebModule.keyDown etc. We want to disable this F1 key behaviour. Can anyone tell us how to change the cobalt source code to disable this F1 key behaviour?
The debug console will automatically be disabled when you do a production build of Cobalt (i.e. "gold"), however it is enabled for debug, devel and QA builds.
However, if you really want to completely disable it, even in development builds, you can find the code for handling "F1" key presses here: https://cobalt.googlesource.com/cobalt/+/master/src/cobalt/browser/browser_module.cc#1109
If I hit F12 while my application runs under Visual Studio in debug mode, the WM_KEYDOWN never reaches my event loop, but it immediately triggers a breakpoint. Is it possible to disable this feature, or reassign it to another, less conflicting hotkey (e.g. CTRL+F12)? I figure the must be a registry key, but I can't find it...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
F12 is a reserved key for the debugger and its kernel-based https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646309.aspx
But you can change the registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug] UserDebuggerHotKey=dword:00000000
to something else like 0x13 (Pause)
got this from http://conemu.github.io/en/GlobalHotKeys.html
You can disable it from Tools->options->Keyboard
It's easy to reassign a value like that to whatever you want.
1) Go to Tools/Options and click on Keyboard (under environment). Then find the command associated with F12. Which one depends on which mapping scheme you use, so I can't tell you the one to find.)
Then change it to whatever you want.
Too bad I can't add comments...
When I type in F12 (for Press shortcut keys), I get Edit.GoToDefinition. If I remove that assignment and then try again, it shows how it is used with Page Inspector.
If you enter F12 and nothing shows, then you can assume that VS is not using F12 and something else is.
You can just try assigning F12 to something and see if that is called instead - then at least you will have some idea of if VS is controlling it or something external to VS is.
Remember that you could also have some application that has remapped F12 so that when you press it, your application is getting a signal that some other key or key combination has been pressed (happened to me once.)
I am using Windows 7 and I've been playing with the Firefox browser for a while.
I want to create a kiosk app using it, I installed a plugin for that, but the problem is that when I start the Firefox app, if I press Shift, it enters safe mode.
I read some guides on Google that tell me to edit chrome/browser.jar but I have no such file in my Firefox folder.
I need some help for disabling the feature that lets me enter safe mode by pressing Shift.
You cannot really disable safe mode by editing text files, the handling of the Shift key is inside compiled code. You can however disable the dialog that pops up by removing this code from components/nsBrowserGlue.js:
// check if we're in safe mode
if (Services.appinfo.inSafeMode) {
Services.ww.openWindow(null, "chrome://browser/content/safeMode.xul",
"_blank", "chrome,centerscreen,modal,resizable=no", null);
}
You can also leave extensions enabled in safe mode. For that you will have to also edit modules/XPIProvider.jsm and remove all occurrences of code like:
if (Services.appinfo.inSafeMode)
return false;
Both files can be found inside the onmi.ja archive in the Firefox directory.
That said, the proper solution to this problem would be running your own application on top of XULRunner which would allow you to design your own user interface for kiosk mode. Sadly, Open Kiosk (which is probably what you are using) is ancient and predates XULRunner.
I managed to disable Firefox session restore and safe mode tweaking these two preferences:
browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash => false
toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes => -1
In a windows version with tablet support, a small keyboard icon appears when an edit control gets focus. If you touch it the touch keyboard pops up.
Is there a way to disable this? It's rather inconvenient if you have your own touch keyboard.
I want to disable it for certain edit controls in code, ie. I'm not looking for a Windows setting.

Well, I guess a late answer is better than no answer, so here it comes:
You can disable the Windows onscreen-keyboard for your application.
To do so, start Regedit and navigate to the Key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTIP\DisableInPlace]. There you create a new String Value, set its name to the full application Path (e.g. "C:\Progam Files\My App\MyApp.exe") and set its value to "1".
Edit: Recently I had to rethink my solution... By setting the Registry value, you disable the onscreen-keyboard for the whole application. But should you need a keyboard for some seldom used function of your program and just happend to forget including an onscreen-keyboard, you have to control the Windows TextInputPanel via SDK / API. See this link: Disabling the Input Panel Programmatically.
Use the PenInputPanel for handwriting and the TextInputPanel for an onscreen-keyboard.
For all those Delphi programmers out there: import the Type Library "Microsoft PenInputPanel" and FIX A BUG in the imported *_TLB.pas: change the parameter type of the two methods of IPenInputPanel:
function Get_AttachedEditWindow: SYSINT; safecall;
procedure Set_AttachedEditWindow(AttachedEditWindow: SYSINT); safecall;
Disable the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service"
