Post #207,607 by broomberg 5/16/05 11:31:04 AM Reply	Re: Tried ctrl-F4 yet? Changes speaker volume. The Apple - Backtick works through open app windows for a particular app. It bounces to different desktops, though, so I can't open a series of windows for a particular project on a particular desktop and have it respect that boundary (as Todd steams while I bitch like the ingrate I am). But it is certainly closer than it was yesterday to being a usable environment.

Post #207,615 by tuberculosis 5/16/05 12:26:30 PM Reply	I didn't find it bouncing to different desktops when using the commercial window manager to which I sent you the link. I had safari windows open on each of two desktops and it cmd-` didn't result in a switch.

Post #207,779 by admin 5/17/05 6:43:04 AM Reply	ctrl-F4 on mine cycles windows. Stupidly, though. It's not most-recent-used, it's just "go through all of the windows, regardless of application". Bleah. MRU is a good algorithm for this sort of thing. Not everyone stays in a single application all the time, which is what having two (three?!?) different keys to do the same thing assumes. I don't want to have to remember whether the MRU window is in another app or not in order to decide which key to use. That's asinine. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
