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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

How do i "navigate between open files" in the same app

Is there a shortcut to moving between multiple files I have open in the same app?

Command-tilde (~) will cycle you through all open windows in the active application. (This is the same key combination as recommended by Listen Inn.)
Command-tab will cycle you through open applications, from most recently opened back.
Depending on your machine and OS version, you may also be able to use F3, or squeeze the two side buttons on the Mighty Mouse to show all open windows, then click the one you want to bring it to the front.

Barry

Cycling or tabbing between open files

Does anyone know how to cycle between files opened in Edit
mode without reaching for the mouse?
I haven't used HS in years but am back in the biz and seem to
remember being able to keyboard through open files. Reaching for
the mouse seems so uncivilized.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Many thanks, Mr. Reed. Time to fly, indeed.

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,

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.

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 can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application?

How can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application? For instance, if I want to bounce back and forth between three documents that I have open in Microsoft Word?

You use a combination of OS X Spaces with Exposé to be able to accomplish this.
Or in your case, look at using Mission Control

Indesign opens files with no space between each word, this happened after a mac update, help?? I don't want to have to go through and manually do it.

thanks in advance!

If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps!

Toggling order between open windows?

It used to be that when I used Command-` to toggle between windows in Safari, they would toggle in the order I opened them. Now that I've upgraded to Snow Leopard Safari the same key command makes Safari toggle randomly through the open windows. It has some idea of how it wants to cycle through them that I don't understand. I can't seem to find a way to change it. The random toggle order doesn't affect any of my other apps. Everything else seems to work the same way it used to except Safari.
Any ideas?
(Please don't tell me to use tabs instead. I don't like tabs. I prefer windows I can toggle through.)

Ok...
Works fine here. Check System Preferences / Keyboard - Keyboard Shortcuts.
Perhaps you have a modified shortcut that's causing the problem.
Or maybe a third party Safari add-on?

That choice is not made by Adobe, but your browser, of which you give no details. 64-bit browsers cannot open PDF files, as the Adobe Reader plugin is a 32-bit app.

Differents between open csv file by mannually and program automatically?

Dear great master
I haved been consfused by a problem deeply.
Why a csv file if already open can be detected by mannually. can't be detected by program automatically.
I verify this phenomenon by below procedure:
First:
Execute <simple_ErrCode_modify_by_NI2.vi> at both computer respectively.then open csv file mannually,thus two programs both can detect the csv file already
open. also can enter case5 and wait case5's loop.
Second:
Compare with First produre.firstly,execute <simple_ErrCode_modify_open_csv_atloop1.vi> in one computer , Adding while loop after open/creat/replace file ,thus
can maintain csv file open all the time.
secondly,execute <simple_ErrCode_modify_by_NI2.vi> in the other computer.I find that <simple_ErrCode_modify_by_NI2.vi> cann't enter case5.
Through above,
I confused that why program can detect csv file already open by mannually.
cann't detect csv file already open by the other pragram open.
Why have thus two kinds of mechanism in labview .
Can who great master help me and answer me .
mentioned program attached.
Thanks earnestly.

If I understand your question, the answer lies in the access programs request when they open files. First, a program can have read-only, write-only or read-write access. Second, they can specify exclusive or nonexclusive access to a file. If a program requests and get exclusive access to a file, no other process can open it for any reason.
Now when you open a file manually, what you are really doing is opening it using the default program specified in Windows. So its a matter of how that program opens files.

Photoshop Cs5 not opening files

I'm not actually completely sure if this is an issue with Mavericks because the problem started about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but my Photoshop Cs5 won't open files anymore. As soon as the app launches, I can click on "open..." but as I'm selecting the file, the window will close and after that, every choice on all the drop-down menus is grayed out and can no longer be selected. I've already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 with no luck, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS Cs5 with no luck. Help pleaseeeeeee D:

Uninstalling and reinstalling WON'T do that unless you used the CS Cleaner from Adobe to uninstall.
Also, check your Performance preferences:
