Word for Windows Keyboard Shortcut for Find Next – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/05

Unlike most applications where F3 is search next, Office has their own thought about keyboard shortcuts.

So in Word for Windows, you can use these:

  • Find next:
    • “RepeatFind”: Shift+F4 or Ctrl+Alt+Y.
    • “Browse next item”:  Control+PageDown.
  • Find previous:
    • “Browse previous item”: Control+PageUp.

Lock screen dialer shortcut gone in 6.0 – Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/02

Solution:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Click Apps
  3. Click
  4. Gear Icon
  5. Click Default Apps
  6. Click Assist & voice input
  7. Click Assist app.
  8. Changing that to None instead of Google App puts the dialer shortcut back on the lock screen, but it also disables long pressing the home button to launch the Google App/Now.

tf: show changeset details on the console

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/02

By default the changeset command in tf.exe shows a dialog showing a list of all files in that changeset.
I wanted that list to be dumped on the console for further processing.

Luckily there is a /noprompt option for that:

call "%~dp0tf.bat" changeset /noprompt %*

The above tf-show-changeset-details-on-console.bat batch file uses tf.bat that hunts for the location of tf.exe.

Delphi: Alt+Down Arrow is the keyboard shortcut for ellipsis buttons

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/01

Thanks Primož Gabrijelčič for reminding me on Stack Overflow that Alt + Down opens the dialogs behind ellipsis buttons in the Delphi IDE.

It’s the CUA and Windows short-cut to open drop-down lists (comboboxes) and for opening drop-down list for a property in the object inspector, but I never realised also would work for these ellipsis buttons.

This was my original stack-overflow question: Is there a keyboard shortcut for the ellipsis buttons of the Project Options in the Delphi IDE?

The Project Options in the Delphi IDE has a few option (like the Search Path) each with an ellipsis button (the one on the right having only three dots ... in the image below) to pop-up a dialog.

What keyboard shortcut activates that button?

Mercurial/Hg; syntax/tips for amend commit adding/reming files to latest (non-pushed) commit

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/01

Sometimes your latest commit isn’t what you intended. Fixing can be done, but isn’t always obvious hence these links:

Remove a new file from a commit:

cp somefile.txt somefile.txt.bak
hg forget somefile.txt
hg commit --amend

If the file was new (i.e. you had used hg add).

If that file already existed try:

cp somefile.txt somefile.txt.bak
hg revert somefile.txt --rev .~1
hg commit --amend
cp somefile.txt.bak somefile.txt
