Re: Mathematica 8: Shortcut Ctrl+Tab for switching between notebooks?

Show all headers | View raw

Dear Martin,

as far as I know, there is no handy way to reassign a shortcut key
combination to window swtiching *inside* Mathematica.
However, it is possible to use external applications, that register
clicks and key hits, and call arbitrary functions: one particularly
fitting is AutoHotkey:

http://www.autohotkey.com/

My personal solution is to assign the Win+Tab key to send Ctrl+F6 to
Mathematica (and change between Mathematica windows), and by this way,
I can rely on Alt+Tab as well to change between other windows and
Mathematica.
The AutoHotkey language is easy like hell, but since this is a
Mathematica forum, I won't flood it with example code. Email me if you
need further help.
