Description David Simonek 2004-10-13 12:50:40 UTC 
More info here, section C-4:

Recommendation: Add shortcut ALT+SHIFT+LEFT or
ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT for navigation among actual views
in the Editor.

done in trunk.
alt-shift-left + right iterate the editors. The shotcut can be changed
in the shortcuts dialog (placed under Windows group/folder)
Comment 3 Milos Kleint 2004-11-03 09:20:17 UTC 
Shift-Alt-right and Shift-Alt-left doesn't work onder macosx. It
walready has a defined meaning in the editor. So does Shift-meta-right
and Shift-Meta-left. What shortcuts to use under macosx?
Comment 4 _ tboudreau 2004-11-03 13:50:17 UTC 
Try CTRL (though I think we may bind it to select to begin/end of line - that's what most 
mac os editors do).

N/P?  (Would at least be consistent with the output window :-/)
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2004-11-08 20:52:13 UTC 
A-S-Left and A-S-Right are bad under Gnome. They are already consumed
by the window manager by default: move window to previous/next
desktop. Consider user safer shortcuts than this.
