Description matthies 2008-03-19 08:04:15 UTC
For example, when "Versioning Output" has focus and has multiple tabs, then Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown does not switch 
between the tabs, but insteads moves the focus to the next output window (like for example "Find Usages"). Within "Find 
Usages" and "Output" on the other hand, Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown does switch between the tabs.

Note that even if a window has just a single tab (the tab is not actually shown then), it's a bad idea to have 
Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown move to the previous/next window, because that one might have multiple tabs, and then doing the 
reverse Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown won't bring you back to the original window.

While some output windows have dedicated shortcuts (like Ctrl+4 for "Output" or Alt+Shift+U for "Find Usages"), it 
would be better if there were separate shortcuts to switch to previous/next window in a pane. Maybe Alt+PageUp/PageDown.

Can we do something with this? Reassigning to "versioncontrol".

I will take a look.

Ctrl-Alt-PageUp/Down can now be used to switch among inner tabs.
