Next time you're working on uVision, would you PLEASE put a timer on the Ctrl+Tab handler such that if the interval between events is longer than X, it only toggles between the last two tabs viewed?
Thanks, -RW
( if this is already available but I simply haven't found how to enable it, nevermind )
Is this a common feature in other editors?
Andrew,
It is farely common, and is a big time saver when you're doing a lot of stare-n-compare or cut-n-paste between two mondules. Operations like this usually have both hands on the keyboard and the simple Ctrl-Tab ( via timing constraint ) confined to the last two modules speeds up work tremendously.
Without it, you have to cycle through all the open tabs during the aforementioned operations, which becomes very tedious.
Just a thought.

WHY ON EARTH do so many people have tabs for files they do not currently work on?
I routinely close tabs when changing what I work on in a project.
the above problem could be solved by closing all tabs save the two in use.

There's a lot of times where having 6 or 8 files open is necessary, unless you want to spend time juggling which files are opened and which are not.
We could certainly debate this all day, but I have better things to do. Be honest: you've probably used editors where the last two viewed tabs are cotrolled with a time constraint, and it is a nice feature, no ?
you've probably used editors where the last two viewed tabs are cotrolled with a time constraint No, I use the Keil editor for mundane, minuscule things (e.g. misspell fixes), for editing, I use a REAL editor; CodeWright.
The original '***' in this thread should be replaced with: "Why can you not link a decent editor with the Keil IDE?" That way Keil could concentrate on what they are good at and leave the rest (editors) to others.
Does CodeWright switch between the last two viewed tabs using a time constraint ?
