Dear István, I tried it today again. One only has to add the following lines to the "KeyEventTranslations.tr" file in order to have the Ctrl+Tab key working in the front end of Mathematica 8 as in Mathematica 4: Item[KeyEvent["Tab", Modifiers -> {Control}], FrontEndExecute[FrontEndToken["CycleNotebooksForward"]]] But this is really undocumented by Wolfram Research, I wonder why ... Thanks a lot. Best regards, Martin. -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: Mathematica 8: Shortcut Ctrl+Tab for switching between notebooks?
