[Pharo-project] Switching windows using CMD+right/left
He guys, I really would like to know if someone is using the shortcut cmd+right/left to switch between windows into Pharo. Because right now on Mac, this shortcut is used to jump to the begin/end of the line, when fn+right/left jump to the begin/end of the file. It means that per day, I lost 15 minutes (and my nerves ^^) because in eclipse I just jump at the end of the file instead the end of the line ( and then I have to scroll back... frustrating), and when I code in pharo, I use cmd, and then it swap the window. And the worst part is that cmd+right followed by cmd+left do NOT bring you back to the original window, so I am lost and it frustrates me a lot ^^ So I would like to propose to change the shortcut binding to be a bit consistent between pharo and mac (could windows/linux user tell me how it works on those platforms ?), and use ctrl+tab to switch between inner windows (like in a web browser or cmd+` like in Mac OSX Please tell me your experience about this, cause http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4m18_queen-i-m-going-slightly-mad_news ;) Ben

Ctrl+Tab is the current way to switch tabs in apps like browsers or IDEs in Ubuntu. So It can be pretty nice :).

I've never figured out how to reliably switch windows in Pharo. There are a lot of things that I wish I could do with the keyboard but seem broken / unimplemented / buggy. So I just use the mouse most of the time. On Sep 22, 2011, at 6:50 AM, Benjamin wrote:
