ctrl+tab not working with capture windows
 
Hi everyone,

   I'm using zMud6.16 and have one main mud window and one capture window named 'tell'. I'm wondering if it is possible to ctrl+tab to the 'tell' window then back again. So far I haven't been able to ctrl+tab to the 'tell' window only from it. However between different sessions ctrl+tab works fine. Please help bring focus to my lil capture window. Many thanks. Yes I'm too lazy to press ctrl+w, 2

#KEY {Ctrl-Tab} {tell:}
tell:#KEY {Ctrl-Tab} {Grim:}
//name of your primary window

You may need to enable the preference "Macros override menu shortcuts". If so, this will likely need to be done in both windows.

Would that work with two session windows and a capture window? Example, I have char1 and char2. Char2 captures text into capture1. I can ctrl+tab between char1 and char2, but not into capture1 like Grim mentioned below. Would have I have to:

char1:#KEY {ctrl-tab} {char2:}
char2:#KEY {ctrl-tab) {capture1:}
capture1:#KEY {ctrl-tab} {char1:}

Or is there some other sneaky trick I do not know yet?

If you want to go in a circle the way ALT-TAB in Windows OS works, then that's how you do it. If you want to CTL-TAB to the tell window and then back to whichever window you jumped from, you'll need to design a system to keep track of windownames.

I would expect it to. I haven't tested it and don't plan to. The quickest way for you to find out would be to try it.
