I login to my company server through SSH using iTerm. There when I start vim, I cannot move my cursor using arrow keys. I have to use h,j,k,l. I can use the arrow keys when I login from Konsole on my other other machine.
View 4 Repliesfor some reason, my iTerm does not "beep" or even show a visual bell when i press a wrong key. (the mac terminal does tho.)
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy arrow keys do not function any more, when you press the down arrow key the whole page scrolls up, left arrow scrolls everything to the right and right arrow scroll everything to the left, and the up arrow doesn't do anything.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm a multitasker, like many others out there. When I surf I like having many tabs open in my browser. My browser of choice is Firefox due to one single reason: Firefox allows quick switching between tabs using CMD + # (nr.). If I want to jump to the fifth tab in Firefox I simply press CMD + 5.
In Safari this key combination opens the fifth bookmark in my bookmark bar.
Question:
Is there a way to "quick switch" between tabs in Safari other than CMD + SHIFT + ARROW LEFT/RIGHT (which gets stuck in text field etc.)?
Safari is otherwise quicker than Firefox on my Mac, so the decision to only run Safari would be obvious if it wasn't for this small thing.
Does anyone have a good solution out there?
I had a bit of a dispraxic moment the other day and meant to do one keystroke but ended up doing another (I work on both the old- and new-style (aluminum) keyboards and sometimes misjudge where the keys are). Anyway, God knows what I've done but now, when I move my mouse around the screen, the desktop moves. If the cursor is in the middle of the screen, all is well, but as I move out towards the edges, the desktop moves by about 10 pixels in that direction. At first I thought it might be an issue with the settings on the monitor but I've logged onto that machine remotely this morning and it's still doing it - the frustrating thing being that now the whole screen refreshes every time I move the mouse.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI purchased an apple bluetooth mouse last week for my MBA and it has been working great up until this morning. I went to use it and I have much delayed feedback in my mouse movements. Here are the things I tried:
1. Paired it with another mac w/bluetooth and it works normally.
2. Replaced the batteries on the bluetooth mouse, same issue.
3. Repaired the mouse with the MBA, same issue.
4. Changed the wireless channel on my airport express to 8.
I am working on a video, and need to capture some on-screen video of a mouse pointer interacting with a web-site. (Like a video version of screen capture) I have heard that there are programs that do this, any recommendations?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had my first iMac since 24 september, and everything has been going great. I love it, can't believe how I managed without it before. I got this magic mouse, So last night, I somehow dropped it from the desk. Was sitting in my chair and casually using it when somehow I thought it would be "cool" to use it on the armrest since it's wireless. That's when it slipped out of my hand and onto the floor.
Since I am usually very careful with things, I froze. I was scared I had broke my magic mouse. I took it up, and tried to use it. It works. But, it's like it goes very slow or stops. The scrolling works fine, it's the movement that somehow "broke"? No settings changed it for the better. I dropped my magic mouse. Should I just get something else than magic mouse?
So I've got three Logitech mouses:
MX 510
MX 518
MX 1100 (wireless)
I used to own the Logitech S530 keyboard/mouse combo as well. What I've noticed is this (and it drives me insane). Both my 510 and 518 move perfectly, as in, its the same consistent movement, whether its fast motion or slow with the mouse. The MX 1100 has the same 'issue' as the S530; the control is god damn weird. Moving across the screen quickly feels like there's some kind of 'smoothing' (kind of like in some games where it would enable smooth mouse), and I just can't get used to pressing on onscreen buttons and such that require a bit more precision, because slowing down mouse movement gives me completely different control.
For example, if in photoshop and using the lasso tool to precisely cutout an object, it completely screws me up, because a slight jerk will send the mouse flying, there's no 'in between' it seems, and there's definitely no consistency. Both the 510 and 518 (gaming mouse!) have the same speed no matter what the situation. Is there any way to have any of the Logitech Wireless mouses behave the same as my other two? Or is this a technology issue with the internals? I keep going back to my wired mouses.
I've just, rather stupidly, spill a sticky drink on my mid-2009 macbook pro. I've managed to dry some of it off and wipe it down but it is still sticky. Nothing went on the keyboard thankfully, but it all went on the trackpad. Now my trackpad feels all sticky and won't register any movement of my fingers. When it does, it only moves a couple of millimeters on the screen and stops again Also, wherever I click, it only registers the right click. Luckily I managed to attach a bluetooth mouse and use that to switch it off. Also, the mouse seemed to jitter and wander when I am not touching to trackpad. Another thing I noticed is that the performance dropped rapidly when I spill the drink.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I start up my 2010 Macbook Pro now, the fan starts running as soon as the spinning gear appears below the apple logo, the boot up is insanely slow, the mouse doesn't track well with my trackpad movements, and trying to open programs often leads to a non-responsive program with the pinwheel of death spinning for minutes at a time. I try to shut it down (takes approx. 20 min. now) and when the screen goes black, the fan continues full blast. After that I can boot up the computer and it runs normally, but the whole process takes about 50 minutes longer than it should, especially with a relatively new SSD (~ 8 months old).
It loads well enough in safe boot, and I've tried cutting out most of the apps that launch at startup with poor results. I've also tried resetting the SMC with equally poor results.

I got a mac mini back in february, i think it has a 1 year warranty on it but the thing is i bought the keyboard seperately so im afraid i may need a new one if i cant fix this. Yesterday my right and down arrow keys stopped working. I checked under them and they look perfectly fine, they just dont respond.

I have the white Macbook (non-unibody). As I was cleaning it a few minutes ago, I broke off the cover to the up arrow key. The key and white/clear hinge thing is still attached to the underside of the key. The key works fine when I press the rubber button but the top plastic key is off.

Has anyone out there experienced keys not working, then working again? Could it possibly be the connection to the logic board? Or some dust in an undesired location?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Intel iMac (Late 2008, aluminum display, 24", 2GB RAM) has a problem where, when using the left arrow key on the desktop or to go back a space when renaming something in the Finder, it will put the computer to sleep. All other applications have no problem with the key. I've looked at all the usual culprits (keyboard shortcuts, preferences) and I can't find a reason. The only thing I can glean is that it is directly connected to the menu at the top, as the lights up right before the computer goes to sleep.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo all of a sudden, my Macbook Pro's down arrow stopped working. This appears to be the only key that is broken. I might have spilled a splash of coffee in the area several weeks ago, but it only recently stopped working. I took the key off and wiped it with a q-tip and water, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I also used compressed air, also with no positive results.
I run:
Model Name:MacBook Pro
Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:2.4 GHz
Memory:4 GB
Everytime I hit the shift key, a white, outlined arrow (with a drop shadow) shows up on the mid-upper right part of the desktop. If I hit shift twice, it stays there... if I hit capslock, nothing.
I looked in universal access, and nothing glared out... a google search didn't turn up anything (right away).can someone quickly clue me in as to what is causing this?
