Description DJ Houghton CLA 2001-10-10 22:47:13 EDT 
A request for those keyboard shortcut users amung us....

	It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to allow the user to 
	cycle through their active editors. This would save the user from
	having to use their mouse to select the appropriate editor tab.

	This would be similar to the Alt-Tab function in Windows.

	The Shift-Tab cycles through your views/editors which are "on top",
	but do not cycle through those underneath.

Under Windows the keyboard shortcut CTRL-TAB is very common to cycle through 
subwindows of a program.
Thats much more handy than the acrobatic as ctrl-F6 as used now.
The best option would be of course user-defined shortcuts for all functions.

This is possible in the latest 2.0 builds.
