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 )
"Ctrl+Tab once goes to the previously used file. Ctrl+Tab returns. Ctrl+Tab twice goes two windows deep"
So that's exactly the same as the way that Windows swaps between applications with Alt+TAB, then?
So I don't see where the timer comes in?
I've just tried this in Notepad++, and found it does this.
"doing a lot of stare-n-compare or cut-n-paste between two mondules."
For that kind of thing, I prefer to have the two modules both visible simultaneously...
which is why I have 2 monitors

But you still need to switch window, unless you are a mouse-bound worker...
Multiple monitors are good but one single monitor should normally be large enough for all source code. I use secondary monitors for other info - maybe debugging an application or reading pdf information or using a web browser. But all this is still irrelevant for people who works with the hands on the keyboard - then you do need keyboard commands if you want to efficiently switch between the windows.
