Cycling Through Open Windows Using Key Combination

Hi,

Is there a key combination to cycle through open windows ?

I am using Apple-Tab a lot to cycle between open applications on my Mac, and Apple-~ to cycle between open windows in one application. I would love to be able to do something similar inside Pharo.

9 changes out of 10 somebody already did this, maybe it is even in the image.

Thx,

Sven

OK, but doesn't that key combination close a window ?
Anyway, looking forward to it.

Yes, CTRL-W is close window or close tab in a multidocument window in MS Windows.

ps: Yes, I said windows lots of times. :)

It was CTRL + tab in the Pharo 1.4

This hack was to override Morph>>tabKey: event

in that execute a new method block [ World tabOpenWindows: event ].

PasteUpMorph>>

tabOpenWindows: aKeyboardEvent

| currentFocus index |

currentFocus := aKeyboardEvent hand keyboardFocus.

SystemWindow noteTopeWindowIn: self.

System topWindow sendToBack.

this did work well in 1.4 but in 2.0 there is an override to key handling with KMDispatcher >> dispatchKeystroke: aKeyEvent that not so clearly ends up handling CTRL+tab

Need to check and revert if that hack can be plugged on to 2.0 trivially.

Yes, you once told me that already if I remember correctly.
But it acts weird (does not always come up, unpredictable timeout, no next-next-next, slow).
Actually, the action 'Make next-to-topmost' from the WIndow menu is more or less what I want: cycle *quickly* between my main windows, usually 2.

Re: Cycling Through Open Windows Using Key Combination

Yes, I want to kill this with a huge sledge hammer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g93mz_eZ5N4) to make it usable :)

( I was forced to wait to 2.0 release ^^ )
