SharePoint Ports

Here is a quick link with most of the ports that might be used by SharePoint:

http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2010/04/ports-used-by-sharepoint.html

SharePoint has to communicate with other servers such as Active Directory, DNS etc which require other ports, they are as follows:

AD Authentication: TCP:445 Kerberos :TCP:88
LDAP: LDAP:389 and LDAPS:636
DNS: TCP:53
SMTP: TCP:25
SQL Server: TCP:1443 (or Custom Ports)
Server Message Block (SMB) TCP:445 or TCP:137,138,139 (over NetBIOS).

is used extensively for search and query operations with SharePoint

HTTP/HTTPS: TCP:80 or TCP:443 (SSL)
Office Server Web services /Shared Service Provider web service calls: 56737 and 56738 (SSL).
Open TCP port 135 plus ports in the range that you specify when you configure static RPC (only if using SSO).
Service Applications use: 32843,32844 & 32845 (TCP EndPoint)
User code Service: 32846
User Profile Sync: 5275

Override Keyboard Keys in SharePoint

Here is a simple way to override keyboard keys in SharePoint:

 overrideKeys = function () {  
 /*This is a standard SharePoint Function, that listens to keyboard events*/  
   window.OnListViewKeyDown = function OnListViewKeyDown(a, b) {  
     var d = GetListContextFromContextNumber(String(b));  
     if (d == null || d.inGridMode) return;  
     var e = a.keyCode,  
       c = a.shiftKey || a.ctrlKey;  
     if (IsCallOutOn()) return;  
           console.log(e);  
     switch (e) {  
       case Sys.UI.Key.del:  
         //Oveeride Delete Button  
         break;  
       case Sys.UI.Key.up:  
         SelectNextRow(b, -1, c, a);  
         break;  
       case Sys.UI.Key.down:  
         SelectNextRow(b, 1, c, a);  
         break;  
       case Sys.UI.Key.enter:  
         if (IsEventTargetAnchor(a)) return;  
         if (a.target != null && !IsStrNullOrEmpty(a.target.className) && a.target.className.indexOf("ms-lstItmLinkAnchor") >= 0) OpenCallOutOrECB(b, a);  
         else ListItem_Open(b, a)  
           case Sys.UI.Key.esc:  
                 //override Esc  
                 brea;  
     }  
   }  
 };  
 $(function () {  
   setTimeout(overrideKeys, 600);  
 });

Hide SharePoint 2013 Controls on Full Screen Mode

How do I hide or Show custom controls in full scree mode?

When you click on "full screen mode" button ms-fullscreenmode class is added to the <Body> tag:

Solution:

A sample snippet of CSS that will hide your controls in full screen

/*hide controlID div only when full screen mode is enabled/

.ms-fullscreenmode #controlID {

display:none;

}

#controlID - id of an HTML element that should be hidden when "full screen" is clicked
