WindowNext Fuctionality

Post by spherman »

I want to change the fuctionality for WindowPaneNext to be assigned to Ctrl+Tab. This is the current key assignment for WindowNext.

It will not let me assign it through:
Preference -> Keyboard -> Window -> WindowNext and WindowPrev

I can assign just about any other key stroke except the one I want. It just does not work!

I cannot hit Ctrl+F6 with one hand.

ok.... So if I can't do it through the program for some reason. Is there a way to edit a registry entry or something to make this happen?

I also want to assign WindowPrev to Ctrl+Shirt+Tab.

Any help would be appreciated.

I fixed it!

OMG.... I just stumbled into the solution.

Since my trusty copy of Textpad 1.2 crashes in Windows 7 when you try to do a SaveAs.

Anyway...

I am posting my solution in hopes that it helps someone else.

I figured that if I has to conform and use F6 instead of Ctrl+Tab then I wanted to disable Ctrl+Tab. So I removed the Key Stroke assigned to WindowPaneNext (and WindowPanePrev) so that I would not inadvertantly go to the wrong file.

So I started working and of course I hit Ctrl+Tab and it went to the next file, but Guess What???? It now has the fuctionality of Window Next instead. That's what I have been wanting all along! YEARS I have been asking for this. No help.... Sigh.....

I hope this helps someone.
