my answer on stackoverflow: well... you hit one of our weaker spots :)
Keybindings are not in his best shape, but: - Actually, alt+tab is already set to "switch window" activity. The problem is that does not work all the time (for example, it does not work on Playground). - This is because there are some hardcoded logic there, who we are removing slowly from the system (some of those parts have more than 15yrs since they come from before Pharo has born). - Someone (probably in a failed attempt to fix the playground, or the hardcodes) forget a halt in the method who creates a new preview window... so even if you reach that part of the system, you will have a debugger. Of course, you will be able to restore correct behaviour by just removing the breakpoint, but that will not correct the fact "switch windows" will not be available everywhere. - I opened a bug entry for it: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15546, in case you want to follow the issue (you will need an account there, I'm sorry for that). In any case, we are moving out this hardcode stuff, and you can check all currently available settings going to **World Menu/System/Keymap Browser** (they are a lot, we are also playing with ideas on how to show better this combinations... emacs style, popup notifications, etc.) Esteban ps: I will like to have a solution for this, if anyone can help a bit in this area… but it has to be a solution using the keybindings framework. I will deny integration to any hardcoded solution :) > On 16 May 2015, at 10:59, Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.al...@gmail.com> wrote: > > does not work for me in macos.
