I use Command-Zero a lot to glance at the output window. (It's the Window => Output => Output command.) I wish that I could type the command a second time to dismiss the window. Instead I have to hunt for the Escape key, turning a quick check into a two-handed maneuver. Suggested enhancement: Have window display/focus commands (such as Cmd-0, Cmd-7, Ctl-Shift-1, Cmd-Shift-1, etc.) make the window revert to its inactive state if it is already exposed and selected. It's useless to have a window-fronting command that is idempotent. There's usually another keyboard accelerator to undo the effect of a window display/focus command, but it varies from command to command. For popups it is often Escape. For docked windows it is something else which I haven't learned yet. For transitions from Editor windows to project browsers (Cmd-Shift-1) the undo command is Enter (to invoke the Editor on the selected project member). It's hard to keep track of how to get around, and making the focusing commands self-undoing (or at least cycling) would make it much easier to wander around the UI. Thanks for listening.
