I am creating a PWA with Reactjs. Once the app is installed, is it possible to open it on pc/mac using a shortcut? Something like getcommande.com, but using a PWA.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think there's any PWA-specific way to do this, but you can just do it however you'd configure a keyboard shortcut to run any application. I don't know about Mac, but on Windows I've done either
put the PWA in the taskbar. If it's in, say, the 5th position, then you can launch it by pressing windows key + 5.
Right-click the PWA, select Properties (or Show More Options first on Windows 11) then click Shortcut key and press the combination you want to use. It seems like you can't use the Windows key this way, though.

I want to change the icon and the name of an existing application installed on the device. would be ideal if the application icon could somehow be hidden.
the project I am working on is using a secondary application that I do not want the user to see. only my application should be able to launch it.
but I figured I would have a better chance just changing the icon to something similar to my application.
is any of this possible?
If you do an update to the application it's straightforward to change in your application file. Do you mean you want to change the icon remotely without a redeploy? (It seems like an update could be easier).
In terms of the secondary application, can you give more details on what you're using it for? If you're doing Android development, for example, if you're just using this to do a background task and the user never interacts with it it seems like moving this to a service could be ideal.
Does anyone know how to use/setup the alt button in qpython 2.7
2? I would like to trigger alt+p for previous command. This is on a galaxy s6. There is a special key menu but I do not see anything for alt. Under preferences I see options for control key, fn, or alt sends esc.
Unfortunatly the feature you are trying to access isn't developed in QPython. It is not possible to access previously entered commands in QPython's console. Up and down arrows just display escape sequences asyou can see on this question.
The QPython3 on the other hand has this feature and it seems that the app is better developed. So If you can use python3 syntax instead of python 2.7, I recommend you go for it.
I am trying to add some shortcut handlers like Ctrl+B in my Silverlight application.
However, in IE when we press the Ctrl+B, it comes out a child window of " Organize Favorings". Is it possible to disable these browser shortcuts with Silverlight?
Many many thanks!

I'm not sure you can judging by what I've read. You may be able to hack it with javascript code on the page that passes it on to the silverlight application, however. (See javascript/silverlight interop)
If you need to use common shortcuts in your application perhaps you should consider running it in Out of Browser mode.
You can find out more about OOB on the MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd550721(v=vs.95).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd882515.aspx
Is it possible to include a Silverlight (3) out-of-browser application to the add-or-remove programs list?
The intention is to be able to remove the OOB application that way (not just by right-clicking from within the running app)?
If the OOB app is installed with a shortcut to the desktop and you try to delete the shortcut you are presented with the standard 'you are just deleting a shortcut if you want to delete the application go to add or remove programs' dialog.
I want to tidy up this inconsistency.
Yes, that's a standard feature - you don't have to do anything - if you take a look under Add/Remove programs you should see that your application is there already.

This has happened repeatedly on various machines in VS2008 and Visual C# 2008.
I create an XBAP appliation.
I click the green arrow and it works.
I click Build/Publish and publish it to either a website or folder, it works.
I make some changes, publish again, and I just get a white screen. Both browsers, can restart, always blank.
It seems to be some kind of caching, etc. Has anyone had this happen to them and found a workaround?
Is the version number incrementing? Right click on the xbap project, go to properties/publish tab, increase the version number and republish.
You can clear the application store using mage -cc command from VS command prompt. Check out this post for more info.
