I am new to Mac and found that the only convenient keyboard for me is a Windows full keys keyboard without the numeric pad (MS gaming keyboard). Would it be possible to make the Home and End keys behaving exactly as in Windows?
KeyRemap4MacBook worked fine for me. One needs to choose "For PC users", then use PC style Home/End, then reload XML

Whenever I use the arrow keys inside a TMemo and some other controls, on the MAC it plays the error sound (like there is nothing in an edit control and you press backspace).
I am certain this is a delphi bug.
Is there any solution beside telling my customer to set the volume to 0 to stop this behavior? It does this when using arrow keys, backspace, del and many other keys. It does this only on MAC OSX, not on Windows target.
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 download the emacs 24.3 in http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/
In a gui mode, I found the following trouble. So I want to cancel the windows shortcut key
The 1st example is that I define the shortcut "C-F2" in linux and I also want to use it in windows.
The 2nd example "C-space" makes me to mark things but it is not working in windows. It is obvious that emacs are occupied by the windows shortcuts. How can I cancel the windows shortcut key when I use emacs in windows?
I suspect these are not taken by Windows itself, but by your IME. It may be possible to change the keys in the IME Settings.
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?
Problem: I am using Windows as a guest operating system in a Virtual Machine and a funky keyboard setup. I need a way to be able to troubleshoot cases when keyboard hotkey combinations are not functioning properly.
Question: Does anyone know of a program that quickly and easily displays on the screen what keypress windows thinks it got whenever I press a key or key combination on the installed keyboard?
Keyboard Jedi looks like it will do what you're after.
