I would like to introduce some keystroke macros, which might be of interest for others too.
Problem case 1:
Although it might be useful to have many files open in an edit session, there are times, when you concentrate on maybe two or three of them only, and a quick method of switching among these focus files is desirable.
If you don't have such a quick window switch, you would probably do {Window, Switch}, look up the desired window id, enter that id, and finally press Return. - This is quite expensive compared to a single key press.
Problem case 2:
There are times, where you have many files open and you want to tile horizontally/vertically only very few of them.
If you don't have keystroke macros to support that, you would probably visit all files that you are not interested in, just for iconizing them, before you can finally do {Window, Tile Horizontally/Vertically}. - This is very tedious.
The approach to solve problems like these, is to provide keystroke macros that let you manage a circle of window id's. These id's can then be used for quickly switching inside the circle and for arranging windows.
The following macros where written for this purpose:
Ctrl-W A: Add the current window to the circle.
Ctrl-W R: Remove the current window from the circle.
Ctrl-W C: Clear the circle.
Ctrl-PgDn: If there are two or more windows in the circle, switch to the next one of them. If outside the circle, switch back into it. If there is no circle or just one window inside, just do {Window, Next window}
Ctrl-PgUp: If there are two or more windows in the circle, switch to the previous one of them. If outside the circle, switch back into it. If there is no circle or just one window inside, just do {Window, Previous window}
Ctrl-W H: If there are circle windows, tile them horizontally. If there are none, just do {Window, Tile Horizontally}
Ctrl-W V: If there are circle windows, tile them vertically. If there are none, just do {Window, Tile Vertically}
Ctrl-W F: (to complete the window related keystroke sequences) Establish non-zoomed, but full sized state for all windows.
One numeric variable is used, to hold up to four window id's. This is currently #14.
If you are interested, please find the macros below.

Bernd
