Hi all,

 

now I have latest (v2.15.4000) version and I have 1 wish to add to wishlist:

 

I'm using windows cycling (Ctrl+Tab) to compare files (text,hex, anything). I open both files in view mode and then switch windows with Ctrl+Tab. but I need to close File Manager window because it always gets focus when cycling windows. it's annoying. the F9,Shift+F9 cycling is not good, because F9 is in middle of keyboard, i have right hand on cursor/PageDn/Up keys.

 

I suggest to choose 1 of these:

 

1) implement Ctrl+Shift+Tab hotkey to make posibble to jump to PREVIOUS window.(Original Windows approach, for example FAR use that).

 

2) to make Ctrl+Tab more inteligent:

pressing Ctrl+Tab 1st time - Previous window,

holding Ctrl and then pressing Tab - next windows.

( Opera browser approach - try it! - no need to press Shift!! )

 

(although Opera handles also Shift ;) but I don't wanna go into details).

 

I vote for option 2) . You can switch between last 2 windows with easy repeating Ctrl+Tab hotkey.

 

and what you, other users, think about it ? vote in the poll!

hi haman!

 

this sounds like a bug or non-implemted feature to me

(i use F9 usually...)

i will implement the Ctrl-Shift-Tab key, because it is simply logical

 

thanks

I was an F9 fan from 1994 to around 2001, then I realized that Ctrl+Tab was more ergonomic, especially in the context of using Alt+Tab in Windows. PS: about time setting in Alt+E, yep, empty space should mean "keep existing time", just like in DNOSP.

Why you can't use

Options -> Configuration -> Interface... -> [X] Don't switch in file-panels

[X] SHIFT-TAB for window switch

???

 

ctrl+tab (or tab) - next(non filemanager) window

shift+tab - prev (non filemanager) window
