Problem: On an MSAccess Form, a field is moused-over, the ControlTip Text appears. You want to take a screenshot of it to insert in a manual, etc. You hold down the Ctrl key + Print Screen and the ControlTip Text disappears.
Solution: Reverse the procedure.
Hold down the Print Screen key first, then hit Ctrl.
Actually, Ctrl + Print Screen is not a shortcut in Windows.
Print Screen captures the whole screen, without removing the tip text. Adding Ctrl doesn't change that.
Alt + Print Screen captures only the current window, but removes the tip text.
I'd recommend using the Snipping Tool.
Start Snipping Tool
Select the snip type (Window | Rectangular) and click New.
Hit Esc key.
Get the screen and tip on the display.
Press Ctrl+PrtScr now use the normal Snipping tool procedures to take your shot.
HTH
Hi Retired Geek & Andre
Perhaps I should retitle my entry:
"How to take a screenshot of an MSAccess ControlTip Text in Form View using the arcane method."
I tried just pressing "Print Screen" and that worked. Thanks

ALL,
If I have a QTextEdit with the bunch of text and will want to insert a hyperlink in this text somewhere, will I get a handling of this hyperlink for free or I will have to write some additional code to handle the hyperlink hovering/clicking?
TIA!
[EDIT]
What I mean to ask was - whether it is possible QTextEdit to recognize the hyperlink after typing www.google.com and pressing either Space Bar or Enter key, so that it becomes rendered appropriately.
I don't want my user to type < a href=.....
Thank you and sorry for the confusion.

Jupyter notebooks have a convenient means to edit shortcuts - by pressing H for help there is a button for it:
And here is the dialog to make the updates:
The question here is: when pressing add shortcut we apparently have a free form text field to enter the shortcut:
But whatever combination I put in actually causes some _system_wide_ kind of behavior to kick-in e.g. Command-R causes Jupyter to do something wacky, and I tried a couple of others. Is there another way to enter these?
Have you tried clicking on that link: details of defining keyboard shortcuts?
That gives some general tips on creating new shortcuts.
Your example might not work because you would want to use "Cmd-R" instead of "Command-R". Though, in my operating system, "Cmd-r" already does something(reloads the page). So whatever combination or sequence you choose, I'd make sure it doesn't already do something before using it as a shortcut.
Once you type into the field, are you clicking the "+" button to the right? If you click on that, it should then show if it's been set, and you can verify it set it to what you wanted. If you don't click the "+" button, it will have no effect.
Good luck!
I am using R-studio 3.3.3 on a 64 bit windows 10 Acer laptop. I am new to programming in R and I just discovered that my cursor sometimes changes from a vertical line to an underscore in R-studio. Could someone help tell me why?
Press the Insert button on your keyboard.
This is a very common operation in different software and platforms. The underscore means that you are in Overwrite mode, meaning that anything you type will overwrite the text at the cursor position.
The "normal" cursor indicates that you are in insert mode and all text you type will force the rest of the line to move further.
Switching between these modes happens by pressing the Insert key on your keyboard (usually there are two of them, one somewhere above of the arrow keys and another on the Num Pad).
press ins button or fn+ins to solve this problem underscore cursor means you are on overwrite mode
Right click and select Reload.
This can happen when trying to press the Delete key - the Insert key is to left side of Delete.
Press Insert again to correct this.
shift + insert at a same time from keyboard
For those using HP laptops: the only solution will be to turn on your numeric key num which is below the home key at the top right corner of your keypad/keyboard; on the same key, you'll see the inscription "lock". Then hit alt key on the left of the long spacebar on your keypad/keyboard. Then hold it together with the 0 key on the bottom right side of the keypad/keyboard with the inscription ins which is the same as the insert key. You should be able to get back the vertical cursor line. Hope this works for someone.
This might have to be broken down a bit but what i want to do:
I have:
- A List of (sort of) greeting cards.
Each will be printed to a particular size (A4 folded down the longer edge)
I want to:
Generate a list of these cards in HTML with css that puts the tags in their place
which would be rotated 90°.
Ideally i'd want to print the list of cards without ever seeing their HTML.
And without print dialog, but would want a modal confirmation dialog after printing where user input confirms they printed correctly.
So my questions are:
Assuming divs for each card, do i just to rotate in the css and then add pagebreaks after each card to define a new page for printing?
I'm really having trouble with the css, do you recommend any good resources for this?
Do I need to specify page size or if the particular size paper is in the printer will the printer print proportionally?
How can I print without browser's print dialog This is answered
How can I catch when the printing job is finished?
Would I be better off with using some PDF library?
3. How can I print without browser's print dialog.
This is not possible. Any browser shouldn't allow this. All you can do is to open print dialog from Javascript but user has to confirm.
Of course you can generate PDF but this requires user to print this PDF manully (clicking print button).
In xcode4 you there's a key combo to show standard editor and one to show the assistant editor, but is there any way to use just one key combo to toggle between them? Similar to using command+option+up-arrow to cycle between related files.
Yes, to toggle between the Standard and Assistant editors, use Cmd+Option+Return
To show Assistant Editor:
command shift Enter
To hide Assistant Editor (i.e. To show Standard Editor):
command Enter
[it thus hides the Assistant Editor]
Customize the "Move Focus To Next Area" key binding under Preferences. (This automatically customizes the "Move Focus to Previous Area" binding by adding Shift to your binding.)
I changed mine to Control + Tab to follow the behavior of tab switching in Safari, Chrome, etc.
Pressing Shift + Control + Tab to go back to the previous area feels awkward, but because it doesn't seem possible to customize "Move Focus to Previous Area" alone, there's no way to escape the Shift modifier.
For example, I would love to try this scheme:
Command + Control + ] // next
Command + Control + [ // previous
That would play nicely with Command + Control + {} for switching between tabs; your fingers are probably already on Command + Control as you get your window contents set up with the default forward/back/related bindings.
