Frescobaldi: Keyboard shortcut for toggling between editor and music view?
Hello all, Maybe I am missing it alltogether or it does not exist or it is to hard to find for me: I am looking for a keyboard shortcut in Frescobaldi enabling me to toggle between editor and music view, so I do not have to click with the mouse. I just can't find it. I have tried all kinds of possible candidates to no avail. Is someone here who happens to know? Thank you for pointing this out to me...

I do not see such a toggle or any system call in the Key Shortcuts preferences that seems relevant. And perhaps that is not surprising - Frescobaldi is after all a code editor; that it assumes (!) one would always want the code visible makes sense to me.

Maybe I was not clear enough in what I said: Of course the code should be visible all the time. What I mean is the following: When you have Frescobaldi open with its split window, there is always one of the two halves active and reacts to input. Say, you are in the editor, but want to go to a different page of your doc in the music view, you always have to click into the Music View half of Frescobaldi's window in order to activate it, so you can use a keyboard shortcut there. And when you have done this and want to go back to the editor, you have to click again into the editor pane to activate that one for more input. I am looking for a keyboard shortcut for activating whatever pane I want to be in for input instead of having to click all the time, because LilyPond is mostly keyboard work. The mouse (at least with me) is hardly in use...

Re: Frescobaldi: Keyboard shortcut for toggling between editor and music view?
I have (just completely accidentally, with a little help from the Breeze theme color scheme) discovered a keyboard shortcut for switching back and forth between the editor and the Music View. I think that it is undocumented, and strange it is, too. Here it is: * from editor to Music View: press CTRL+TAB 5 times or until the Music View scroll bar is not greyed out any more. In Breeze for example, it turns light blue. The editor scroll bar turns grey at the same time. * from Music View to editor: press CTRL+Shift+TAB 5 times or until the editor's scroll bar is no longer greyed out, but Music View's is. This is a crazy thing, but it seems to work... No mouse needed.

Re: Frescobaldi: Keyboard shortcut for toggling between editor and music view?
That makes sense to me. The Frescobaldo keyboard shortcuts are all, for my Linux version, Meta-Ctrl-?. If TAB moves around fields in dialog windows, then it makes sense that Ctrl-Tab might shift between those dialogs, or in this case the various Tool palettes, etc. Your persistence is admirable.

I do see different widgets getting focus but it never seems to go to the Music View. Still, it's an interesting find! -- Knute Snortum
