I'm experiencing a strange typing issue that occurs when typing in some consoles. It's not a keyboard issue, because this doesn't happen when I type in a text editor like Atom or a regular application like Word. It doesn't even happen in every console -- repl.it gives me no issues. However, it happens in many coding consoles. I start typing, and when I finish one word and hit the spacebar or a parens or bracket, the thing I just typed gets duplicated out on the same line. Here's a quick video of it happening: https://imgur.com/a/MlFVD

I'm sharing a small but annoying issue that sometimes pops up when I'm using shortcuts to insert operators while working on a markdown file in R : the operator either does not get written, or even worse gets written on another file.
So let's say I am working on the file "report.rmd", and I want to insert the pipe operator using Ctrl+Maj+M, or the assignment operator using "Alt+-", and I have the file "test.R" opened. Well, I therefore type the aforementioned shortcuts and...nothing happens on my markdown file. But some nice operators that had nothing to do there get written on my test.R file.
The only way I found to solve this problem is to close and reopen RStudio (restarting unfortunately doesn't solve the issue).
While this is quite a minor problem, it's incredibly annoying. Did it ever happen to anyone of you, and if so do you know where it comes from and how to solve it?
Edit:
Although I am still running into this issue (without being able to reproduce it consistently) I came into a somewhat lighter solution. Instead of restarting R, simply closing all tabs (closing just the problematic one doesn't work) solves the problem. I hope this helps narrowing down the possible origins of the problem.
Short Answer
re-define the key combo to Ctrl+Shift+ \ , assuming this does not create a conflict
Background
I've had a similar problem for a while, too. In my case, the shortcut never works. I can not find the source. I even found a conflict with Ctrl+Shift+M assigned to 2 Editor functions.

However, a simple key reassignment of the one that is not the pipe operator ("Expand to Matching")
Image:screen capture showing the hotkey conflict solveddidn't solve the issue in my case.
Solution
Here's what did the job for me
I managed to assign a different combo (that hasn't been assigned yet) and that is comfortable enough in the sense of its location on the keyboard
go to Tools → Modify Keyboard Shortcuts...
In the filter box, write "Pipe"
Direct the cursor to the text box showing the current shortcut, and press the new combo (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+ \ ), then Enter.
Remember to hit Apply
Make sure the new Combo isn't a duplicate of another command, by going back to step 1 and sorting the list by Shortcut, then scrolling down to find your new one. if there is an ovelap, consider changing one of them.
Im using VoiceOver during development to test accessibility changes.
Many times VoiceOver detects changes properly, starts reading them, but is interrupted with new information. So the information that is important is essentially cancelled when additional changes present themselves.
In my case I have an alert that's very important, but ancestor changes seem to get read instead.
If I could see a log of everything VoiceOver is saying I can at least be confident the text is being read and figure out a way to mitigate the problem (possibly by delaying it)
Is there anyway to get a Voiceover log?
I don't believe there is any way to print out a log, but you can save the output to an audio file by pressing ctrl-option-shift-Z. If the audio is running too quickly you could try slowing it down or using some commands to repeat the output. Some of the commands listed here might be helpful:

This question involves bending Microsoft Word 2013 to one's will.
I have been asked to help fix a problem with Word 2013's autocorrect.
We are working on a spell checker for my native language (Afrikaans), and many Afrikaans words contain a diacritical/umlaut (ë, ö, Ü, etc).
The spell checker consists of a .dic file which is basically just a text file that contains about 508 000 words, and an autocorrect list (.acl) file that is used to automatically replace text as you type.
The spell checker works very well for the most part. It replaces the text as you type, which is the desired effect. The problem is that autocorrect doesn't work with all words.
For example, if I want to type the Afrikaans word 'pêrels' (which means 'pearls'), I should only have to type 'perels' (without the ^ character on the 'e'), and autocorrect should automatically change it to the correct form.
Same with 'reën' (rain). If I type 'reen' (without the umlaut), it is supposed to automatically correct it.
However, in both of the above cases, the words remain unchanged. A red line appears under the words, and when you right-click, you can select the correct word from the pop-up autocorrect menu as shown in the image below.
As you can see, the correct form of the word is the first one in the context menu. I need autocorrect to automatically change the wrong word into the first word that appears in said menu. It should completely ignore the other menu items, and just go with the first word.
My initial instinct was to manually add the words to the *.acl file using a text editor, but the file is encrypted and not readable (I used Notepad++).
I then tried adding them inside Word's autocorrect options menu. However, Word 2013 has a maximum autocorrect memory of 64KB, and the size of the file is already at that maximum. Whenever I add more words, it bombs out and basically wipes the file contents. This doesn't seem like the most efficient strategy anyway, since I would need to manually enter hundreds, if not thousands of autocorrect cases. Ain't nobody got time for that!
What makes this even more complicated (ironically), is that there is no real "program". In other words, this isn't a C# program with source code that I can manipulate. I have the two files mentioned above, and Word's built-in options (which I have already explored). That's it. Nothing else.
I'm stuck. Does anyone have any ideas?
Is it perhaps possible for me to hack Word to increase the autocorrect memory to, let's say, 128 KB? Google hasn't turned up anything of use.
Or, is there a way to set Word to not give the autocorrect context menu, and instead default to the first matching word in the dictionary, as mentioned above?
I can probably write a batch script, C# program, or edit the registry if need be. I just need to know where to start.
Thanks for any help!
In case you are still looking for a solution, you might consider using AutoHotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com). It is a very powerful free open-source utility, and can handle substitutions similar to AutoCorrect. Whenever the built-in program features of Word and others fail to handle my needs, I use AutoHotkey. It has the added benefit of not being tied to any specific program (e.g., Word), so the substitutions can occur anywhere needed. I hope it helps you. I have used and depended on AutoHotkey for years of new Windows versions, new Office versions, and highly recommend having a look. You might even get new ideas about time-saving automation with AutoHotkey. Good luck!
If I type a line of R code at the cursor and press 'Enter' I can immediately retrieve that code by pressing the up-arrow key once. However, if I am typing a line of code and accidentally press the down-arrow key once then that line of code disappears and I cannot retrieve it. This is a minor, but ever-present annoyance, most frustrating when typing data into a vector.
Is there a way to retrieve a line of code after accidentally pressing the down-arrow key?
I am using a Windows machine and the R GUI found on my desktop immediately after installation... ...I think one of the questions during installation is whether I want a short-cut on my desktop, and I select 'yes'.
this is completely dependent on the GUI. I believe (but am not certain) that RStudio, for example, preserves what you have typed.
While not a direct solution, what might be helpful is to use edit in an external window. I dont use windows, but I suspect if you hit ctrl+n you will get an editor in which you can then use F5 or ctrl+R to execute that specific line.
Personally, I use Sublime Text 2, and cmd+enter gets my code executed at the console
I found that if I open R and click File then New Script in the R menu an editor will open. I can type a line of R code in that editor. Then I can highlight that line of code and press Ctrl+R, as mentioned in Ricardo Saporta's answer and djhurio's comment. By pressing Ctrl+R that line of R code will execute. The line of R code remains visible in the editor and seems safe from being lost even if I accidentally hit the down-arrow key.
Hopefully this builds on Ricardo Saporta's answer enough to warrant being posted as another answer, although I would not have figured this out without Ricardo's and djhurio's help.
P.S.
In retrospect, I see now this is what Ricardo meant in his second comment beneath his answer.
my client is saying that she couldn't register on our website and getting error
When she was registering, she would enter all the information, and when she would click through, an error message would tell her that the name field only allowed letters and not numbers. She wasn't entering any numbers.
Could this be a problem with her browser? (She is using Internet Explorer.) Her computer? What else could it be?
I tried it, and it worked for me.
i am using regular expression
ValidationExpression="^[A-Za-z]+$".
She might not be entering numbers, but is that all your error message states?
She might be entering punctuation, symbols, or spaces.
Copying and pasting something in could also leave a trailing space which would fail your validation.
Perhaps her name has a hyphen, apostrophe or accented character in it. If it is a full name, then it is probably erroring on the space between the forename and surname!
Avoid restricting what users are allowed to input as you'll usually end up stopping people from entering things that should be perfectly acceptable, just use suitable escape sequences (e.g. with paramertised queries for databases or converting <, >, &, " and ' to their respective entities for HTML) before putting the data anywhere.
I'm assuming you're not a technical person. The chances are that the name entered has and apostrophe, space, or anything that isn't between a-z.
The reason you are getting this message is because whoever created the system has told is to say that when the name doesn't match the regular expression, even though it probably has nothing to do with entering a number.
Ok, I'll say it a thousand times. Never assume what the end user is saying is true or what they claim to be doing is what they actually are doing. Not that they are deceitful, just they often don't know.
I recommend using a remote desktop software such as Co-Pilot (no, I don't work for fogcreek) and connecting to any user that can replicate this issue and view it happening for yourself.
Once you can verify it is indeed happening, you should be able to replicate it from your end and then submit it to the developers (or yourself) to be fixed
I'ts not a browser-related problem. ASP.NET form validation is server-side.
