Ctrl-Tab in Whidbey - A Fix!

Published 14 July 04 06:06 PM | mitchw 

I am a big user of Ctrl-Tab to quickly cycle through open editor windows.  With Whidbey Beta1, Ctrl-Tab also cycles through the Tool windows, so to cycle documents, you have to do a double Ctrl-Tab. Well, I found the fix.  Go to Tools | Options | Keyboard.  By default Ctrl-Tab is assigned to Window.NextDocumentWindowNav.  To get it to behave like it has the two previous versions of VS.NET, change it to Window.NextDocumentWindow.  You'll also want to change Shift-Ctrl-Tab to Window.PreviousDocumentWindow while you're at it.

If you are on the IDE team, could we get this changed back as the default?

Good find! Thank you! I second the vote for making this the default behavior.

Are you reffering to the problem where alt-tab doesn't switch a tab unless you press it twice now? If so, this is a bug that has been fixed recently.

Yes I am. But it is Ctrl-Tab. Alt-Tab switches windows. Not sure if it is a bug (or a configuration bug), because what I suggest above fixes it.
