Did you know... You can use the keyboard to jump to various panes within the Output Window -#148

 

The output window has a drop down, as shown below, to move between various outputs views (or panes), like Debug and Build.  There's a command called Window.NextSubPane that you can use to jump to the next output pane.

Debug and Build are the two standard output panes for the output window

The command in itself isn't that interesting, but you can bind it to a keyboard shortcut, maybe Ctrl+Alt+Shift+O (since Ctrl+Alt+O is for the output window under general development settings). 

Window.NextSubPane assigned manually to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+O

Now you can toggle easily between debug and build in the output window using a keyboard shortcut.

Hi Sarah

Did you know that Alt+S will open that drop-down when focus is in the Output panel.  (With 'hide underlines' disabled the S of "Show output..." is underlined).

And of course one can use Ctrl+W,O to get focus to the output window in the first place.
