How can I add my custom keys to keyboard? - keyboard

Just like ".com" key is available in mobile IE and "#" in email fields, in my application I would like to add some custom keys to standard keyboard, namely "~" and "!". How can I achieve this?

You cannot. However you can change the input scope on your textboxes.

Open a specific section within a form

I have 3 sections within a form. Is it possible to open a specific section using Lotus Script?
If the answer is no, then are there any tricks to do that?
No simple way, exists: #formula and LotusScript don't give finer grain than collapse expand all sections.
The only way is to send keys (controlling the keyboard by using DLL as explain by Richard in the bellow remark). You make a goto field to the field (not in the section) before the section and then send the number of "below key" needed to navigate to the section, then send "+" (which expand the section).
You can get creative with the hide when's. Can you be a little more specific about what you're wanting?

Creating your own LaTeX keyboard layout : 1 key = multiple caracters

I've been looking for the answer for quite some time now. This is a project I have but I can't manage to find a way to do it. The main idea would be to plug an additional keyboard on my computer that write multiple letters by hitting only one key. For example, instead of writing down a (when I hit the a key), it would write \textbf{ (for example).
I already manage to find the keyboard layout file under Linux and to switch the a and b keys, but I cannot find a way to print multiple characters.
I know it exist editors (like Texmaker or Kile) that have auto-completion, but I'm most of the time working in project in groups and therefore we use writelatex.com which does not propose auto-completion in it's free user pack ! Besides, I'm doing that for my personal interest.
Thanks a lot.
Have a look at autokey. It can assign phrases to hotkeys. It requires X11.
Another option might be to use a powerful text editor like vim or emacs which both have features like this, and then copy/paste the text into writelatex.com.
Some browsers have add-ons that allow you to edit the contents of a text field on a web page with a chosen text editor.
Edit: In Xorg you can use the X KeyBoard extension to e.g. change the meaning of individual keys. While you can configure the keyboard to generate (multibyte) unicode characters, you cannot assign arbitraty character strings to one key, to the best of my knowledge.

Using NumLock key to select

I'm looking to reassign the function of my keyboard's "NumLock" key. Essentially I'd like to use the "NumLock" key to select multiple items on a spreadsheet, instead of using the "Ctrl" key to select multiple items. Anyone have a quick fix or can direct me to a third party solution?
thanks in advance,
You can use AutoHotkey to achieve this. One of the neat things about AHK is that it provides remap functionality, so your numlock key can become a second ctrl.

jqGrid search filter questions

Have two questions.
Make the search filter form non modal.
Allow searching by pressing enter key instead of having to press the Find button.
thanks.
sachin,
Your question seems to be more of a statement, but if you're looking for various options for jqgrid, take a look at:
http://www.trirand.com/jqgrid/jqgrid.html#
New in Version 3.5 > Integrated Search Toolbar
This allows you to interactively search and it respects the Enter key.
However, you lose operators... but I suppose you could modify the code that's given to add something similar back in (or bundle your operator in with the text....ie, user enters "> 400" rather than "400", but this poses security risks)

Browser Autocomplete Naming Conventions and Testing

Is there a comprehensive list of browser autocomplete naming conventions somewhere? I would like to know what to name form fields and such so the browser can autocomplete them, and so I can decide if I want to use the autocomplete feature, or if I should rename the fields to something else.
I would advise you to choose rather unique names for your fields. It is very annoying when FireFox gathers all "Email" inputs from all sites I visit and then shows them all in a long list whenever I try to enter my email somewhere else.
If somebody will use your PC to quickly check their mails they will know all your other email names in an instant. Not good.
