Hi,
I am using the new Mozart 1.4.0 on a Mac.
My problem may sound like nit-picking, but this is really
inconvenient: newly created Tk windows tend to appear *behind* Emacs
(the OPI). Unlike in the previous version, a newly started Tk
interface does not show up as standard a Mac application (e.g., there
is no entry in the panel). So, there is no standard keyboard short
cut to bring the window to the front: you have to (re)move the
windows in front of it! Funnily, once the Tk window had the focus,
then it does show up as a Mac application (actually, as a Windows
application from the Parallels virtual machine...).
Does anyone perhaps have an idea how one can conveniently switch the
focus to any newly created Tk window (e.g., by any proprietary
keyboard shortcut I just don't know)? Alternatively, would it be
possibly to bring the Tk interface back to the stage it was at
version 1.3.*? That older interface was also not exactly convenient
(e.g., there was no standard keyboard shortcut for cycling between Tk
windows), but at least one could always bring a new Tk window to the
front.
Just installed Mozart 1.4.0 on another Mac, and things were less
problematic. More specifically, an entry is created in the doc for Tk
windows, so one can switch there with a shortcut. So, nevermind the
previous comment if that happens only on specific computers :)
Best
Torsten
