MoreDesk: List of Keyboard Shortcuts |
|
|
The following key presses have an effect when MoreDesk is running, regardless of where the input focus is and whether the MoreDesk main window is open.
| Alt-left | Move one desktop to left (close main window) |
| Alt-right | Move one desktop to right (close main window) |
| Alt-up | Move up one desktop (close main window) |
| Alt-down | Move down one desktop (close main window) |
| Alt-tab | Open the switcher window (or select next window) |
| Alt-ctrl-tab | Open main window centred, give focus (or close if open) |
| Alt-Windows | Fetch top-most alert window into current desktop |
The alt-cursor form of navigation can be disabled from the choices plug-in. Open the iconbar menu, select “Choices...” and click on the tab for “Miscellaneous options” to change this setting. The alt-tab and alt-ctrl-tab key actions can be swapped by selecting the appropriate option under the ‘Switcher’ tab of the MoreDesk choices.
Attention VirtualAcorn users! It should be noted that VirtualAcorn intercepts the left alt key and tab key combination in order to switch itself between window and full-screen mode. For this reason, MoreDesk will accept either alt key in the above combinations.
