Toggle between open documents?

Hi all,
Is there a keyboard shortcut (or way to create a custom
shortcut) for toggling between open documents in DW? What I'm
talking about is something similar to Alt-Tab in Windows. When I'm
working on coding using the keyboard it would be awfully nice to
quickly toggle to another open file rather than reaching for the
mouse every time.
I'm hoping this is something I've just not run across yet in
3 different upgrades of DW and not something the program can't do.
Thanks!
Ellie

It's built in: CTRL+TAB moves left to right, and
CTRL+SHIFT+TAB moves right to left. I think it may be CMD+` for
Mac, but not certain.
Unfortunately, in CS$, I've not been able to find a short cut
to toggle between the related files in the current opened document,
besides going the "long" route: ALT+V, holding ALT hit R twice,
then the right arrow key and then arrowing up or down to the next
file to switch to.

Toggle between open word docments

hi everyone - do any of you know what the shortcut is for switching/toggling between open Word documents with a Mac [OS X]? I'm currently using Microsoft Word 2011.
COMMAND+TAB allows me to switch btw programs, but not between pages within the same program.
Thank you in advance for your help!

command ` (the key above the tab) is the standard Mac keyboard shortcut for switching between open windows of the same application.
I don't know if Microsft has followed the convention.

Is there a way to toggle between open sequences? Keyboard Shortcut?

So I usually work form one sequence of selects, and then take pieces of those selects on the source monitor side and edit them into the edit sequence on the program monitor side.
1. Is there a way to toggle between the two?
2. Is there a way to toggle between sequences that are open?
Although it is really nice now you can load sequences into the source monitor it would be nice to toggle to that sequence to actaully see the clips in the source monitor sequence, not just have the visuals.
On a basic level I'd like to know if there is a way to toggle between open sequences that way i can select in and outs lift and undo (which copies to clipboard) and then toggle to the second sequence i have and paste it in the correct place.

Short answer: Yes. Try Shift+3. It's the default Shortcut for "Timelines".

Toggling Between Open Emails -- Keyboard Shortcut

Sometimes I have several emails open at once. The only way I know how to switch between them is to go to the dropdown Window menu. This is a little cumbersome. Is there a keyboard shortcut for toggling between open email windows?
And while I'm at it, is there one for toggling between open Safari windows? I love the Command-TAB way of switching between applications and am looking for something similar.
Thanks.
Paul S.

The question is marked as answered, but I don't think it was the answer you wanted. I often have several emails open and want to toggle through them without leaving the keyboard. The Exposé method works, but is not a keyboard shortcut.
Here is how I got it to work:
In System Prefs under Keyboard and Mouse under Keyboard Shortcuts make sure Keyboard Navigation is checked and under that check "Move focus to next window in active application" and then "Command+ tilde" will work!

Shortcut for switching / tabbing between open documents?

Hi. In Mac OS in general, you can switch between open documents or windows in the same program via the shortcut COMMANDO + >. Like for instance different windows in Firefox. But in Numbers and Pages, this means zoom in or out.
Does anybody know a shortcut to switch / tab between the open documents in Numbers and Pages?
I have searched google, here and e-mailed for help and found nothing.
Thank you!

Hello Jerry.
There ARE keyboards like that:
http://www.ergoblog.com/2006/09/keyboardwithe.html
http://www.sspdirect.com/large-letter-keyboard.html
You see, just google for "Large letter keyboard" and maybe add Mac. But ones without Mac symbols works just as fine, you just have to learn which key is which.
Seems there is no solution to my tilde-problem...
Thank you my french friend, for the understandning of the swedish problem

Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between open documents?

Is there an easy way to switch between 2 or 3 open documents in Pages, as when trying to combine excerpts from several places into a new document?

No, there isn't. you can't even set your own shor cut keys as you don't know what the documents will be named. Normally you can add short cuts keys but only for those menus options that already exist but your documents will change. I have searched for the answer earlier as I also want it.
There is in the Pages Help menu an option for Keyboard shorcuts but nothing is mentioned ther about changing document windows.

Move resources between open documents

Hi,
I have multiple illy docs open in different tabs, and I am trying to establish the styles and swatches/colors for this project (which consists of four illustrations) as it goes - instead of defining it beforehand. This gives me a chance to see how the elements work together.
Anyways - how can I easily move swatches and styles between the open documents? I know I can save the resources as a library (and then open them again in the other tab), and I know that I can also copy and paste objects between the docs (works for swatches, not for graphic styles).
But is there no smarter way to do this... ?

Sorry, my bad - it works with styles when one copies/drags objects between tabs...
Having a persistant style library saved works, but only partly - if I want to modify/add styles as I go along, one has to add it to the main Graphic styles panel, and then save it as a library again, then close the library panel, and re-open it...
I guess another way to work with this would have been to have all four illustrations that I need to do in one document, but with multiple artboards, then I would have all styles and swatches in one place.

Toggling between open files

If I have more than one project file open, what is the best way (if any) to toggle between them?
The problem that I'm having is that when I hit play for one file, it starts playing the other simultaneously, which is annoying.
Thanks.

How to change Switch between open documents keyboard shortcut (default Control + Tab or Cmd + ~)

Flash CC won't let me switch between open documents using command and tilde key ( ~ )

In all previous versions of Flash, and most other Adobe software, you could change the active document using command and tilde key ( ~ ) on a Mac. However Flash CC won't let me do this. Is there a bug, or something I need to set up to get it to work? Or is this possibly just expected behavior in the new version of Flash?

I'm on a 2012 desktop with OS X 10.8.4 using a bluetooth keyboard. Cmd + ~ works with all other Adobe programs I have installed including Flash CS5.5.

Simple-how can I toggle between screens

Ok...this is really simple, or it should be. Can I change a preference anywhere on my Mac to where I can not only toggle between programs with the "apple key + tab" shortcut, but toggle between open windows within a program?
For example, if i have iTunes open and Safari open I can toggle (switch screens/windows) between the two with the "apple key + tab" command but I cannot toggle between screens WITHIN a program. If I have Word open and I am working on two documents and I want to go from the forward window that I am working in to the window behind it I have to manually, with the mouse point and click on the window at the back.
Is there a preference I can change somewhere on my Mac or no? I've looked but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
Curlz

Who says it's undocumented? It is documented several places. In Mac Help, search for "Keyboard shortcuts"; select "Full keyboard navigation" or "Shortcuts for windows" -- this is documented both places and probably others as well.
Also, in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, you can change shortcuts, or disable them, or just see what they are currently set to.

How do I change the keyboard shortcut for Cycle through open documents in PS CC for Mac?

Sorry to bug the community with such a seemingly inconsequential task, but I am seriously tired of using the awkward default keyboard shortcut for cycling through open docs in PS. I'd like to change it to what I am used in in Chrome, which is Cmd+Option+[left] or {right} arrow keys. I noticed this is not a command listed in the in keyboard shortcuts, for whatever reason. Where on Earth can I change this?
If it is not possible to do it by default, is there a plug-in or a change to the code that will allow this basic functionality?
Thanks again guys and gals!

As far as I know, you can't. It's "hard wired" in. Not even Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts is allowed to change it.
However I did find this tip:
Anyway i never found tabs in Adobe application useful, instead i prefer the old school method: simply switch off tabs feature via illustrator/ preferences/ user interface/ open documents as tabs. Then in Mac preferences panel, under keyboard, just search for the “focus on next application window” field (under menu, keyboard and text) and assign a shortcut if the default option doesn't fit you. And there is now you can easily switch between open documents!.
The best part of this is that it can be used in all mac applications, not only Adobe ones. And remember, if you want this working on Indesign, Photoshop, etc be aware of first switch off the tab features so that the system could “see” multiple documents opened not only one single tabbed document.

Toggling Between Windows

Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is a key function that enables you to toggle between windows of 1 program. For example toggle between all your open Safari browser pages? Something like "apple + tab" but for toggling between open windows in one application?
Many thanks,

Dreamweaver CS5 :: crashes when i switch between open docs

Im running Windows 7 x64.
When I switch between open documents that are docked Dreamweaver CS5 keeps crashing on me :-(
In addition, after each crash when I open it back up again it looses my layout preferences ( I prefer the right nav
docked on the left side and the code view as my defaults )
This is hindering my productivity quite a bit....
Please Help,
~Stu :-(

It appears that I can not share documents between my iMacs and mac air without first opening document in an IOS device. Is this correct? If so then iCloud for me is a giant step backward especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

It appears that I cannot share documents between my iMacs and and Mac air using icloud without first opening document in and IOS device. Is this true. If so, then icould is petty much worthless for me, especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

iwork on iOS uses different file formats ( *.tef ) then iwork09 on Mac ( *.key , *. number , *.page ).
Uploaded documents to icloud.com must first be updated to the *.tef format and then re-written to the cloud system. The online service behind the iwork web-app does the re-conversion to Mac formats, pdf or Microsoft office. All that is happening "in the cloud", not on your Mac as he misses the engine to do the transcoding from the *.tef to the other formats. Mac simply does not know what *.tef is.
