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

Show all headers | View raw

Dear István,

Thanks for your suggestion to use autohotkey. But I'm using
Mathematica at my business site and I'm not allowed to install
any other "not confirmed" software on my business computer
(this is even controlled by automatic registry scan).

If there is really no way to assign Ctrl+Tab for notebook
switching within Mathematica 8 I'm still pretty astonished
because Ctrl+F6 is not handy in my opinion. And switching
notebooks is a very frequent task ...

And by the way, in Mathematica 4 on Windows, Ctrl+Tab works
like expected. So why not in Mathematica 8? :-(

Best regards,
Martin.
