Other ways to "activate" a window?
« on: March 18, 2025, 03:49:43 PM »
As the title says!  I work with Octamed SoundStudio on a regular basis, and I want to keep my hands on the keyboard as often as possible.

My workflow usually gets interrupted when I have to switch over to the mouse, and its usually to activate a window I want to work in.

For example, AMIGA + E with bring up the echo window.  I can modify the information inside the echo box, and execute the changes, but I still need to change over to the mouse and click on the "tracker editor" to continue entering in notes etc.


I'm on an A1200 with WB 3.1 installed.  Fair warning, I dont know my way around the amiga OS that well!

You can use FKey to assign a hotkey combination to rotate windows.

cheers! Im reading up on Fkey.

To be clear, this will let me cycle through windows inside of a single program?
