VWUser2335 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 In older versions of VW for Mac you could cycle through open document windows by using the keyboard shortcut: Command-` This no longer works in VW 2009 - does anyone know how can I get this functionality back? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 It works for me in SP2. Mac 10.5.6 Quote Link to comment
VWUser2335 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 That's odd. For me it switches through the tabs in the Object Info palette (Shape, Data, Render) while I have something selected. Which workspace did you base your settings on? I used Designer. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Designer workspace. Very strange. I just saw an item on the wish list asking to be able to toggle through the OIP panes. Do you have any keyboard helper software installed? As far as I know, the step through windows is an operating system command (yes, it has to be activated by the program). Can you open a couple of documents in Word or Excel (or something else) and see it it works there? Quote Link to comment
VWUser2335 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Command-` works fine in other programs. It also works for VW 2008 and VW12.5 which I run on the same machine. bcd, Shift-Command-` works. I wonder if there is a way to switch it back to Command-`... do you know where to find it in the workspace editor? Quote Link to comment
VWUser2335 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 A colleague pointed out the solution. VW2009 is incorrectly reading my VW2008 workspace file. If you create a new workspace from scratch in VW2009 it solves this issue and you can cycle through open files using Apple+` again. Quote Link to comment
sig_eigei Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) If you have an Apple US English keyboard layout COMMAND + ~ should work. This is a system wide feature for an application with multiple windows open. If you have a keyboard in another language I have found that you there are other combinations. E.g. on the Italian Pro keyboard it is COMMAND + < which is located in the bottom left corner of the keyboard. You can also set up a hot corner to make expose spread out your open windows for a given application. (COMMAND and the APPLE key are the same) Make sure you are testing with a software keyboard layout that matches your hardware keyboard. This is set in System Preferences > International Preference Pane > Input Menu. Edited June 2, 2009 by sig_eigei Quote Link to comment
