2501.0. "Looking for "Cycle" Key" by NSSG::R_SPENCE () Thu Mar 22 1990 17:20

    As a new user of DECwindows (from an old user of VWS) I have a
    question.
    
    I was looking around for something that would give me the "Cycle Windows"
    button that I had under VWS that used the "F5" key. When I am working
    with just a few (2 or 3) active windows I want to be able to switch
    between them without having to take my hands off of the keyboard and
    find the mouse and find the menue bar and...
    
    The default use of the mouse makes it take longer to change windows
    than it does to perform the action I want to do in the window.
    
    Does such a thing exist (unsupported or otherwise) for DECwindows?

	For a small fee to your cost center, you can switch to the field-test OSF Motif window manager, which gives you this functionality built in. I also find it to be a bit more flexible all around. The SUBWAY""::MOTIF conference for more info.
