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,

How do you toggle between windows in Parallels?
I tried CTRL tab but it didn't work.
If you want to switch between windows in any Mac application, it's command-`. Between applications would be command-tab (not control-tab). If you're talking about Windows applications running within Parallels, that's a Windows question that would need to be asked on Microsoft's forums.

Can I toggle between Safari windows?
Hello,
I know that you can toggle between different applications with command-tab, but can you toggle between multiple windows of the same app? Moving different safari windows around to find the right one is driving me bonkers. I know you can toggle between tabs, but sometimes you just have to have a new window!
Thanks!You can go to your system preferences and select "Dashboard & Expose". Then assign one of the corners of the display to "All Windows" so that when you hover your mouse over that corner, all of your open windows are shown and you can click on the one you want to bring forward. But the "Tabs" are a great idea too.

Toggling between active windows
Hello all,
I can't seem to toggle between active windows. I'm trying the cmd+shift+, and the cmd+shift+. which I'm told is the correct shortcuts on both the Premiere help site and the preferences within the software, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I'm obviously doing something stupid and/or wrong.
Thanks in advance.> I've never seen a keyboard with both, so I'm confused about how you
could have tried CMD+SHIFT if you then tried CTRL+SHIFT. If you had the
latter, you should not have had the former.
Macs have both a Control key and a Command key. The Control key is the less-often-used one on the Mac, but it's there.
An additional confusion: I use a Mac running Windows (using Bootcamp) as my primary work computer. This means that I use the Mac Control key as the Windows Ctrl key. -
Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion
heres 2 screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue - the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.
thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal - until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense. -
Hi All,
Suppose I have 5 excel sheets open and I want to toggle between 2 excel sheets on which i'm working on currently. How do it do it in Mac ? Cmd-~ round robins between all the open excels. Alt-Tab in windows work on the Most Recently Used concept. Is there a way to achieve this in Mac ?
Regards,
AvinashNot a reply to this specific question, just a quasi-relevant comment that might help some folks.
In Leopard, and with (for example) English and Russian chosen in System Prefs under "Language" and the keyboard shortcut set to command+space, I would always see the flag change in the menu bar as soon as command+space were chosen. Now, under Snow Leopard, hitting command+space seems not to make the change. But it does make the change, you just need to take your fingers off the keys first, then the flag will change. -
Shortcut: Toggling between Program monitor & timeline?
Can anyone please rell me whether there is a keyboard shortcut to toggle/switch between the program monitor window and the timeline in CS4. An internet search suggests that it is Crtl + Tab, but that's not working on my laptop.
Premiere provides Shift + 3 as a timeline toggle, but that is designed to cycle through available timelines, rather than switch between windows.
There doesn't seem to be an option to create a custom shortcut.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.Hi Jeff. Thanks for the reply.
I already use Shift +3 but I was really looking to toggle between the two - such as Ctrl + Tab (which doesn't seem to work!) -
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!

How to change the capture resolution of CaptureDevice and toggle between front and rear camera
Hi. I'm using Visual Studio 2013, and the Windows Phone App template. I'm using the Microsoft.Devices / CaptureVideo API to capture video. I now want to set the resolution to capture the video in a specific(available) resolution. How do I do that?
Code snippet reference to API:
CaptureVideo vcDevice = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetDefaultVideoCaptureDevice();
and I also want to put a button there to toggle between front and rear camera. If I click the button, and the rear camera is currently active, the front camera must become active and vice versa. How do I do that with this API?
Thank you.visit this page to know how.

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!
SCcommand ` (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.

Toggling between languages in OSX
I communicate in both English and French on a regular basis. In Windows I can toggle between English and French (Canada) keyboard layouts, so I can type in both languages easily.
How do I do this in OSX, and is there a keyboard mapping available online for Mac keyboards for French (Canada) layout?
Thanks!

Hi Catti,
Two places to visit first:
- in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts,
choose different shortcuts for Spotlight and for Input Menu, so that you can easily use both.
For example,
(Spotlight)
command-space --> Show Spotlight search field
option-command-space --> Show Spotlight window
(Input Menu)
control-space --> Select the previous input source
option-control-space --> Select the next input source in the Input menu
- in System Preferences > International > Input Menu,
enable "Show input menu in menu bar". Enable also Character Palette, Keyboard Viewer and all your favorite layouts (Canadian French CSA for example).
Now you can test the input source options, see which one fits to your habits or your 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.

Without Mouse: Toggle between selected timeline video clips- Keyboard Only Method
Simple Question, but can't able to find the answer on internet.
How do I select the timeline video clip without clicking on it with mouse help?
All I want to do is, select the video with keyboard only. And switch the cam layer on cut. In other words toggle the selected clip on cut points, with keyboard only.
Thank you all
MaxI'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "the timeline video clip" but here are a few keyboard shortcuts that may help: the q key toggles between the Timeline and the Viewer windows; if the Timeline window is active, the up arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the previous edit; the down arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the next edit.

Toggling Between iTunes Library and Music Store
Does anyone know if there's a way to toggle between the Music Store and the most recent view in your iTunes Library? For example, if my current Library view is of a particular Artist, then I go to the Music Store, when I return to the Library, the display defaults to All Genres, All Artists, All Albums.
Gateway PC Windows XPTry double clicking the music store to open it in a new window. You can do the same for any playlists etc. In seperate windows, they won't affect one another.

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.
CurlzWho 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.
