For Windows XP and FrameMaker 7.2 structured.

I've found two putative shortcuts for moving focus to the document window:

- SHIFT+F7

- ESC Fid

IF the focus is in the Element Catalog, AND I press SHIFT+F7, THEN focus does indeed shift to the document window.

But IF the focus is in the Element Catalog, AND I try the ESC Fid shortcut, THEN I receive the message "First select an element in the element catalog".

At the risk of stating the obvious, the ESC Fid shortcut doesn't work, at least for me.

Can anyone confirm that Esc Fid is in fact inoperative?

Cheers & thanks,
Riley

Hi, Riley:

I think that this is a long-time bug, though you rarely see it mentioned, probably because the focus keystroke shortcuts aren't widely-known or used.

I've found that moving focus from text to a palette, like speller, find, etc. works, but the insertion point gets stuck in that palette in some way that the shortcuts to move focus elsewhere don't work. At least on Windows FM; I can't remember if Macintosh FM has the same problem.

Have you considered reporting this bug?

HTH

Peter:

Thanks for the response -- now I know it isn't just something I was or wasn't doing.

As far as reporting it as a bug, insofar as SHIFT+F7 works, I think I'll let the developers focus on some of the other, more important, issues... ;^)

Cheers & thanks 'gain,
Riley

Hi Riley,

I've also had trouble with that shortcut; never took the trouble to delve into it too far, though. There is also Esc s d for toggling between the document and the structure window seems to work well for me although that might not be what you're looking for.
