Hello Torsten Thank you for the explanation. How can I de-activate the ctrl-D shortcut for the Desktop manager for the time being? I'd like ctrl-D only execute the 'do -it'. Hitting 'ctrl-D' twice with the desktop manager installed did not work for some reason. And it is inconvenient. Because do-it is a much more frequent operation for me than switching the desktop. Kind regards Hannes On 9/4/17, Tim Mackinnon <tim@testit.works> wrote:
Interesting, but how is it that Ctrl-B works for Browse and is also a meta key for Ctrl-B + Ctlr+N? I think there is a a way to support both - whether its worth it is another question (and I suspect the complication of supporting it might not be worthwhile, and some of the old key combinations like Ctrl-B and Ctrl-N might need deprecating as there are meta key equivalents as when I looked through the existing code it is quite complicated and in need of a cleanup).

Hi Hannes,
The desktop manager uses "key combinations" always starting with CTRL+D (like "Desktop") so one can easily remember the possibilities:
CTRL + D followed by CTRL + DââââDesktop Displayâ to display and switch between all desktops CTRL + D followed by CTRL + AââââDesktop Addâ to add a new desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + NââââDesktop Nextâ to go to next desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + PââââDesktop Previousâ to go to previous desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + BââââDesktop Backgroundâ to choose a background CTRL + D followed by CTRL + FââââDesktop Fullscreenâ to switch fullscreen option
as can be seen in

but unfortunately CTRL+D ("single key") is also used for the "do it" in a playground.
As the shortcut handler of the desktop manager is only triggered when the full key sequence is pressed the code can only check if the active hand is in an editor and allow the do it then. At least that is the only solution I've found to this problem so far.
This leads to the unfortunate effect you have to press CTRL+D twice in the playground once the desktop manager is loaded.
But nonetheless the "do it" is still possible - you only have to hit CTRL+D twice in the playground. Hope this helps!
Bye T.
