<html><body> Yes, that works for me. I get Ctrl+F6. It's a bit awkward, but I know where to go to change it, and it's good enough. Thank you. I'd still like to see the problem better-solved in a future release. Adding it to the Keyboard Shortcuts section of the manual, with some text like "switch between the interactions and definitions window" to make it searchable, would have helped me get up to speed quickly. Adding it to the menu would also get its shortcut listed in another place, but it wouldn't be useful for clicking on, so having it in the menu might seem odd. I still think changing the behavior of Ctrl+E and Ctrl+D to what I detailed earlier might be an improvement. It would be slightly more complex, but on the other hand, either key combination in any state could help the user get a desired result. Right now there are three states (definitions shown, interactions shown, and both shown). These changes would add a state (definitions shown and focused, interactions shown and focused, both shown with definitions focused, both shown with interactions focused). It would add an extra transition (keyboard combination) to hiding the unfocused window. This extra transition could be solved by adding an extra keyboard combination to show only the focused window and hide the others (like C-x 0 in emacs IIRC).
