Keyboard navigation with OS X

Hello,

I really like the OS X experience. The only thing that I really miss is the possibility to send forms (as for posting in many forums) using ALT + Shift + S, as in Windows or Linux.

Perhaps anyone here would know how to enable it on OS X? Perhaps a browser extensions capable of doing so?

Thank you!

 

IIRC, many of the OSX keyboard combinations are the same as the Windows ones, just replace the Windows or Control key with the Command key. Example, Ctrl + C in Windows/Linux is Command + C in OSX.

Anyway, here are some of the commands you can use in OSX:

You can re-map the command key to control and vice-versa natively within OS X so it will line up with Windows. The downside is that there's only one control key on the MBP keyboard. Naturally, this is not a problem if you use an external keyboard, but it has to be mapped separately.

 

Give me a sec, i may have a solution...


Install the Keystroke Extension,

https://sites.google.com/site/solushex/keystroke

Click on the Keystroke Preference button on the Toolbar
Click on 'Add Key [+]
Click the Edit button next to the new blank key
Enter 'Submit Form'in the left side field
Select the right side field and press CTRL+OPT+S

Paste the code below in the black code box. Click save and you should be able to use the CTRL+OPT+S shortcut to save your forms.

PHP:


var selectBox = '';
var sForm = document.forms['subForm'];
sel_guide = sForm.elements['sel_guides'];

if (sel_guide.type == "select-multiple") {
   for (var i = 0; i <sel_guide.options.length; i++) {
              sel_guide.options[i].selected = true;
   }
} 
document.subForm.submit()



This was posted using the CTRL+OPT+S shortcut .

 

What a neat solution! Thanks!

Unfortunately the extension is returning this error:

Do you know what may be causing it?

 

When do you get this?

 

When clicking on "Save", after pasting the code.

 

Seems copying the code back from here doesn't work...

Just a sec... So the site removes parts of the code when displaying it..

Look at the attached txt file.

Success! Thank you!
NBR's forum was removing part of the code, isn't?

It was very kind of you to make such an effort just to get my shortcut working. I hope this help others in the future.

Thank you, really!

 

for future posts, it might be helpful to surround code with the

Code:

 tag ;).

 

Thanks for the tip, the Code tag did not work. Only PHP displayed the code properly.

 

Hmm, weird. Well, I've only ever tested it with C/C++, Java, and Visual Basic .NET.
