Tab in Single Window-Mode

Hello Guys,

I love using Gimp with the new SingleWindow-Mode but I've got a little issue:

I like using Tab to maximize and minimize the working area, which works very fine -- except one of those widgets outside gets the focus, so using Tab just changes the Widget with Focus.

I haven't found a way to change the shortcut from "Tab" to something different (a way to search for the used keys in the shortcut Dialog could be also nice).

I thing the Shortcut "Tab" fits for maximizing/normalizing the working area -- what do you think about an option to disable "Tab" to change focus of the widgets in order to be abe to use Tab always for maximizing/normalizing the working area?

I hope these Ideas are easy to implement.

best regards, Robert

Hello Guys,

Hi,

The 'Tab' key is a bit special because GTK+ doesn't allow 'Tab' as a keyboard shortcut, right now it's hardcoded. It can be changed though to something normal with the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

'Tab' must at least mean "switch focus between widgets", we must not change that. So for now, I would recommend you to simply change the shortcut to something else. I doubt it would be worth to spend time adding code in special places just to get "Tab for dock visibility" to work. It is quite an odd choice of keyboard shortcut in the first place, and imho we should look into another default key for this.

Tab in Single Window-Mode

Speaking of tab in single-window mode, does Ctrl-Tab work for switching tab yet? If not, is this planned?

Ctrl+Tab will continue to cycle between layers, at least in GIMP 2.8.

Tab in Single Window-Mode

I thought we had cycling by some means.. AH, yes. Alt+Tab. Also, Alt+[123456789] works to switch to a particular tab, in a similar way to tabs in Firefox.
