I have a jump list (Delphi XE7) and I have all my open forms there so the user can open the one he wants.
I wonder if it's possible (and how to) add a right click option ("close" in this case) or a small X button to the jump list items, that closes the form.

With the latest macOS, the tab feature introduced,
my app needs to support this.
Here is the thing, I don't know how to distinguish the closing event like the title I said.
What I expect is when I click the "x" on the left of a tabbed window, it should close this single tab window.
And when I click the "x" on the left top of the whole window, it should close all the tabbed window in this main window.
I have implemented these two methods, when I click the "x" on the left top if the whole window, it can close all tabbed window, and when I didn't merge them into a window, I can close it one by one.
But when I merge them into a window and click "x" on the left of each tab window. it still close all the tabbed window. So I think the root cause is I can't tell the tab closing and window closing event.
Any idea? Thanks
I am unable to perform multi-file text search and replace (in Visual Studio).
In the past, when I opened the "Replace in Files" dialog, there were 4 buttons in the lower right. One of the bottom two buttons allowed me to "Replace All".
The two lower buttons (including "Replace All") are no longer present.
I believe this occurred after I changed some Windows settings so that I could use menus without the Magnifier.
It is not just a matter of the buttons being off-screen because the window is too large (although it is too large - they would be off-screen, if they were present).
I can drag the window and see the bottom, even though the top is then off-screen (I use AltWindowDrag, allowing me to hold the ALT key, and drag by any part of the window, not just the title bar).
The two lower buttons are not present. I'm unable to resize the window - when I try, nothing happens, or the window repositions so that I can see the title bar, but can no longer see the bottom.
The two buttons that are still present (Find Next and Replace) don't have keyboard shortcuts, so I presume that Replace All doesn't either. Nor can I select either of those two buttons using Tab, so probably can't select an "invisible" "Replace All" button that way.
Any help appreciated.
You can use Find and Replace by pressing Ctrl+H and to Replace All just use Alt+A.
when selecting large swaths of text from webpage I have to keep left mouse button pressed while searching for the selection's end. It would be nice if the browser would "remember" selection's start point and let me search for the ending point, e.g. by dragging the scrollbar downwards, without pressing the mouse button.
Does a plugin or other implementation of this sort already exist?
The answer to this is OS/Windowing system specific. In most/all systems there is a normal way to have the system perform what you are desiring. An add-on for Firefox is not required.
Windows:
If you click (button down and up, not button down and hold) at the start, or the end of the selection you desire then move the mouse to the other end of the desired selection (scrolling the page as needed to get the the other end) you can then hold the shift key down and click again. This will select the entire region from the first point you clicked to the second point you clicked while holding the shift key. You can adjust the selection by continuing to hold the shift key while doing any of: clicking on a different location, performing a click-drag movement, or using the keyboard cursor keys. This adjustment does not change the point at which you first clicked, just the second, end point.
It is also possible to use the control key to select individual items. This is possible in combination with clicks, double-clicks, and triple-clicks. An example would be to move your mouse around in this paragraph holding the ctrl key down while double-clicking on various words. Your selection will include just the words on which you double-clicked. In some instances, when using only a single ctrl-click to select from a discrete list (e.g. a Windows Explorer folder display), a second ctrl-click on the same item will de-select it. You can also combine the use of ctrl-click and shift-click to create more complex selections with the beginning of the shift-click selection starting at the most recent ctrl-click location.
The Mouse and Pointers page in the Windows Dev Center provides some fairly technical descriptions as guidelines for Windows developers.
Linux (using GNOME):
The interactions are similar to What was described for Windows, but a bit different. Section 10.1.2. Selecting Objects of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines 2.2.3 provides a good description.
Apple/OSX:
The Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines describes how selections can be made on Apple machines.
I want to find an element in FireFox 13. The problem is that I can't right click on my element. This is due to the fact that my element is a hide menu, which open on left click, and close on right click.
There is any other option to do that?
You can click "Inspect Element" from Firebug instead the right-click menu.
In "Script" panel, you can also enable Break-On-Next (pause button) which will pause the debugger on the next JavaScript statement execution (i.e. on the event listener for click in your situation). You can also enable this with a keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+B.
Another solution is opening the console tab and writing
setTimeout(() => {debugger}, 5000)
This will trigger the debugger after 5 seconds. So as soon as u enter this command click on the menu and wait for the debugger to start and freeze your menu in place.
If 5 seconds is too little, increase the number 5000 as u see fit.
When I'm in a Finder window and enter terms in the spotlight search box (top right of window) and then press the TAB key the search location bar appears just below and the focus moves to the first location (usually "This Mac") shown (as it should). But then the focus seems locked in place and no keyboard key or combination I've found will get it to move (most of the time, that is; at times it's possible to select one of the shown locations with the keyboard and sometimes I've found it possible to tab to the Save button or Add Option [+] button and on to the options themselves but most times it just gets stuck [like now!] and I need to use the mouse). I've been annoyed by this for years now and am running out of new key combinations to try! Is there a way to continue with specifying the search info using the keyboard?
