Title: MC 11: Split View...Hot key?
Post by: sbsp2 on March 07, 2005, 11:50:43 am
What are the hot keys for switching between 1, 2 and 3 Split Views?

Ok the answer must be 'there are none'.

So, can we get some?

Well unless you could pre assign them then a hot key wouldn't matter much since you would still have to click on whatever view you want to assign each one.

Sure it would...we just want to hot key access to the current menu functions (Split View -> Show 1 View, Show 2 Views and Show 3 Views).  Think about it.

When you switch from say 2 split views to 3 split views, MC just use the first view and duplicates it in the one you just created.  Unless you could pre-assing a specific location for the third split view, then it defeats the purpose of the hot key since you would still have then use several additional clicks to get the third view in the location you want.  I think the split views system needs to be overahauled in general before hot keys are assigned

Please explain how hot keys would save you time?

You could use a hot key instead of the the 3 menu clicks to change the view.  Generally, that's what hot keys do...save you having to navigate a bunch of menu clicks.
