Graphics

Hello,

When editing scenes in the Object Manager, I often use Ctrl + Tab to cycle between text objects. I noticed in the help menu that Ctrl + Alt + Tab is the hotkey to select the next object which would include quads. However, Ctrl + Alt + Tab conflicts with the windows hotkey to switch applications. I was wondering if there was a way around this issue. It would save me a lot of time to be able to cycle between quads with a keyboard hotkey.

Thank you for any help

Hello Jerry Lu,

It doesn't appear that this shortcut is directly editable in XPression's keyboard mapping area. However, you can try disabling the Windows shortcut instead.

Here is a "how to" that I found in a google search to do this: "https://www.howtogeek.com/194811/how-to-prevent-the-windows-key-alttab-and-sticky-keys-from-ruining-your-gaming/"

There may be other ways to do this, but you can give this one a try!

Hi Ryan,

Unfortunately, remapping alt+tab using a third party program will also disable the XPression hotkey since it is remapping the keystrokes.

As far as I know, there is no easy way to disable the alt+tab Windows shortcut directly within Windows without some complex registry editing or other risky endeavors that change the way Windows works.
