Keyboard Focus

[galenus]

Hello all,
is there a way (e.g. hotkey) to switch keyboard focus from the bookmarks panel to the document window and vice versa without having to use the mouse?
Thanks in advance for your tips,
Martin

Hello Martin,

I am not aware of any such, but if you alt + tab to another application and then back to the Viewer the focus would be returned to the main window.

A possible way to get the focus to the bookmarks toolbar is to use Ctrl + Shift + B. This will get the focus where you want it, but will also create a new bookmark which you can then delete with the "Del" key - so while effectively being a key combination to get you there might not be faster than reaching for the mouse and clicking.

Best,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

thank you very much for your help! I've tried to solve this using an AutoHotkey macro that can be triggered by simply using the keyboard. The macro "clicks" in the middle of the document window, changes to the Hand tool, and quits. It's a quick-and-dirty solution, but it works fine.

#a::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
WinActivate, PDF-XChange Viewer
MouseClick, left, 673, 341
Send, h
MouseClick, left, 676, 347
Sleep, 100
return

Best wishes,
Martin
