Ctrl-Tab in Whidbey - A Fix!

  • Article

I am a big user of Ctrl-Tab to quickly cycle through open editor windows. With Whidbey Beta1, Ctrl-Tab also cycles through the Tool windows, so to cycle documents, you have to do a double Ctrl-Tab. Well, I found the fix. Go to Tools | Options | Keyboard. By default Ctrl-Tab is assigned to Window.NextDocumentWindowNav. To get it to behave like it has the two previous versions of VS.NET, change it to Window.NextDocumentWindow. You'll also want to change Shift-Ctrl-Tab to Window.PreviousDocumentWindow while you're at it.

If you are on the IDE team, could we get this changed back as the default?
