Open CKEditor with a keyboard shortcut - url

I use keyboard shortcuts within CKeditor all the time. One of the very useful ones is to save the page (and close the editor) with Ctrl+Shift+s.
However, I just cannot find a keyboard shortcut to open the editor. I wouldn't be a CKEditor shortcut, but one of the browser. Does one exist?
If not, there still may be an alternative; In Mindtouch it is possible to open the editor on any page by adding the argument action=edit to the page URL. What tool could I use to create a keyboard shortcut that reloads the page with the argument added?

I think shift + f10 should do it? Here is the full list of keyboard shortcuts
See this question for an example of how to create your own key binding

SSRS Action Expression - open a new page using a field value as a url

I have a table of urls which represent saved PDFS and are displayed in an SSRS report. I made this field clickable and the action opens the pdf in the same window which allows me to save the pdf to my desktop. But when I hit the windows back button I have to reenter the parameter.
I prefer to click on the field and it open in a new window. In fact, I would love to be able to click one button and open all the urls in a new window or at least more than one.
I can't seem to get the syntax right to even open 1 url in a new window.
Help! What is wrong with my syntax?
="javascript:void(window.open('Fields!Standard_view_PDF.Value & "', '_blank'))"
You need to tell the link that it is a file to open.
Try this instead.
="javascript:void(window.open('file:"+Fields!Standard_view_PDF.Value+"','_blank'))"

Excel macro shortcut-key with forms

I have a couple of Excel macros that I run with keyboard shortcuts. All is well unless the focus is on a form when the shortcut key simply does not do anything. If I set focus away from the form the shortcut key works again. It doesn't seem to matter if the form is loaded modeless or not. Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

How could i test that `chose file` dialog opens(Rails, Capybara)

I must make sure that when i click the button on page, chose file dialog window opens. Do you have any idea about implementing this? I use RoR with Capybara.
Short answer: You can't
Longer answer: The file selection box is a system modal, which basically freezes everything until a file is selected. Because of this (and for security reasons) drivers handle attaching files to file inputs differently than most fields. It isn't done by sending keystrokes to fields on the page, but rather by shortcutting the file modal from appearing and adding the file behind the scenes. Because of that you really can't write a test that detects the presence of the choose file window.

WiX custom license file: setup shows links with < >

I created a WiX 3.5 setup with a custom license file by putting this into the .wxs file:
<WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="License.rtf" />
This works perfectly and the link is displayed when I run the created .msi file.
(I'm using the WixUI_InstallDir Dialog Set)
Now I want to put a hyperlink into the license file.
I just put the link into the file by opening it in WordPad and pasting http://mylink.com (WordPad turns it into a hyperlink automatically).
When I compile that in WiX, the license agreement dialog shows the link like this:
<http://mylink.com>
I noticed that this seems to relate to WordPad creating a hyperlink automatically (see above).
When I remove the http:// part from the link in the license file, WordPad doesn't recognize it as a link anymore and in the compiled .msi file, the < and > in the license agreement dialog go away.
Any ideas how I can get rid of the additional < and >, except putting the link into the license file without the http:// part?
EDIT:
Okay, maybe I didn't think enough when I used the word "hyperlink".
What I actually meant was: It does not have to be an actual clickable hyperlink.
I just want the adress of my web page to be displayed at the top of the license file.
I'm perfectly fine if it's just the URL as text (not clickable), but I want it to be displayed as I entered it, and not with < >.
The problem is that WordPad automatically turns any URL into a hyperlink as soon as I enter it, so I have no idea how to get the license agreement dialog to treat it as normal text.
Windows Installer doesn't support hyperlinks in the scrollable text control. This is why the link is not displayed correctly. Even if it was, nothing would happen when you click it because Windows Installer doesn't handle this event.
A hyperlink in a scrollable text control works only if you use an external UI which handles it.
Edit:
If you just want to display some text as a link, the usual approach is make it blue and underlined. As you already noticed Windows Installer doesn't show conventional hyperlinks correctly.
If you want to show a link as normal text, simply open the RTF file with a normal text editor (for example notepad.exe) and remove the hyperlink markers. Just follow the normal text formatting and you will easily spot the markers you want to remove.

AgentRansack's file list provides right-click file popup menu like Explorer; how can I do this in my own apps?

if I right-click on a file name in the search results, it gives me the usual Explorer popup menu for a file, with options like Open, Edit, Properties, Share With, Send To. Just like what I get in Explorer itself. How did they do this? Can I do this in my own programs?
Check the How to host an IContextMenu series from oldnewthing. The seris not only deal with displaying the menu, but also shows how to handle different use cases such as property dialog, control or shift key down when menu item is selected, deal with context menu shell extensions, etc.
