I try to close a window with the below configuration when pressing Ctrl and h.
Unfortunately it does not work.
E.g. in Chrome it opens the little window as if you press alt+space, when I focus the address bar in Chrome it works.
What do I do wrong?
;Hide a window
^h:: Send !{Space}n
Return
I managed to get a solution which fixes my issue:
I now use Kinto, which itself uses AutoHotkey, and it has the key action I want right from the start using the Mac OS Layout from the Kinto Installation Options.
Kinto itself uses AutoHotkey, you can find the AutoHotkey-file on Github.

I used to be able to be able to Ctrl+F to search whatever was logged in VS Code. Now, for some unknown reason, the search bar doesn't show up when I type in Ctrl+F.
I am on version 1.57, which is the latest at this time.
This question if for the Debug Console which isn't the tab I am looking at.
Click anywhere inside the output panel, and then press Ctrl + F
I realized that the Vim extension is what is causing this. Ctrl+F is for scrolling and although previously Vim keyboard shortcuts didn't work in the output panel, they seem to have been extended to it recently see this issue I raised.
I made a new dialog window in Eclipse using the Window layout gui editor. I set the window as undecorated, and as a modal dialog. I clicked Preview, which works, but now I can't figure out how to close the window as it is undecorated. I cannot seem to access Eclipse until the window is closed. Is there a key command that does this?
CTRL SHFT ESC reveals no unique process (as far as I can tell) for this window, and I'd rather not force close Eclipse right now if I don't have to (lots of unsaved changes).
It's an old Question, but in case anyone comes up with the same Problem, just like I did, ALT + F4 is the Solution.
This question is directly related to following existing question with different tag:
Keyboard shortcut to switch focus from web developer tools to page in Chrome
As stated in the title, is there anyway we can switch focus from web developer tools to page in Chrome on Mac OSX.
I looked up online, and at Chrome Dev. doc and help forum, nothing there but they pointed to SO for an answer. Here are some links regarding this question, I already found useless:
https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/shortcuts
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-chrome-developer-tools
Press F6 three times. To go back to DevTools press F6 one time.
F6 loop the focus in this order:
Page
DevTools(if DevTools is open)
Address bar
Bookmarks
You can move focus to the address bar with "Cmd + L". If you put javascript: in the address bar and hit the enter key, you can switch the focus to the page.
But javascript: is too long, isn't it? Then follow this.
Go to Chrome Settings page (Cmd + ,)
Click "Manage search engines..." in the Search section
Add a new search engine with
any name e.g. Back to page
any keyword e.g. j
URL - javascript:
Now you can move focus to the page only with j.
If you've un-docked dev-tools, on a Mac use Cmd+` (backtick) to move focus to active or next window.
This keyboard shortcut can be found and customized at:
System preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Select "Keyboard" category
I've had this exact same use case, and I'm surprised there isn't a simple shortcut for it. I've done some research, and it seems there are a few options:
Use command + option + J to toggle the console off. This will bring focus back to the web page. Then, hitting command + option + J again will open the console and direct the focus there once again. This is probably not the best way since there is a little bit of on each toggle.
Open Dev Tools in separate window. You can find this by clicking the three dots in the top right corner of the dev tools, and then you can find a button for undocking the tools into a separate window. Then, to toggle focus between the web page and console, you can hit command + `.
The answer above from #Sangdol is a great solution for switching focus from the console to the web page. This is probably the fastest and best way of doing this once it's set up. The only thing I'd like to add is how to switch focus back to the console. For this, you can hit command + shift + C twice (hitting it only one will successfully switch the focus, but will leave the browser in 'Inspect Element' mode). I've found that if the focus on the webpage is in a text box, you may have to hit Esc first before hitting command + shift + C.
Press ⌘+L to go to address bar.
Press Esc.
You have now switched focus from web developer tools to page.
To switch back press focus back press ⌘+⌥+C.
This works for docked but is best for undocked dev tools and multiple windows/tabs.
With devtools focused hit ⌘+Shift+P
start typing in Debuggee
Hit enter when you see Focus debuggee, done!
Then to go back to dev tools just hit ⌘+⌥+J to focus back on the tab you left them.
It saves me some time everyday - my tabs can grow on me over the day... or days... weeks - pretty sure you've all been there - R&D!
New Update: In chrome Version 92.0.4515.131.
When DevTools is open and focus.
Press (⌘ Command+⌥ Option+↓ Down) Twice.
First time pressed - the focus will transfer to the URL.
The second time pressed - the focus will transfer to the page.
OS X 10.8.3 - Mountain Lion
customize "Move focus to next window in application" short cut, because the default key map is "Command + F1", which is binded to show "Shortcuts for Developer Tools" on chrome.
Update in chrome 107
You can now customize keyboard shortcuts for commands in DevTools.
Go to DevTools Settings > Shortcuts > set shortcut for "Focus debuggee".
Hitting ⌘+⌥+J twice will hide the dev tools and focus on your actual window. Do you want to focus on window without hiding dev tools?
I just found out how to have help open and the code editor open at the same time from an answer to this question: Opening Xcode help file and application at the same time
In Windows, Alt+Tab switched me back and forth to my hearts content. Here, Alt tab bring up the next open application (happens to be Firefox in my case).
How do I switch between the Xcode window and the help window?
Cmd+` and Cmd+Shift+` will switch back and forth between windows within a Mac application.
You can also use F10 to see all of the application's windows in a zoomed out view and pick one to focus with the mouse or keyboard.
I'm running Leopard and do all my Java development in eclipse. Some of the shortcuts work such as Command-1 which will do a quick suggest. However how do I get the Function Keys (F5 for refresh in the package explorer) to work? Right now it brings up spaces or whatever System Preferences maps to that.
What about Control-click into a breakpoint when I'm debugging and want to go directly to the chosen function? Is there a way for my eclipse keyboard shortcuts to take precedence over other programs?
i'm running eclipse 3.4 though I've had this problem since eclipse 3.2.
Its been a while since I used eclipse on the mac but I think you have to go to Preferences.app and check the "keyboard" pane. There should be an option that chooses if its Fn-function-key or just function-key for the key press. After that, it would be Fn+F5 for expose and just F5 for F5. You will lose the ability to dim the screen and adjust the sound from the keyboard.
In system preferences under keyboard there is a toggle to turn the f keys into real function keys
Are you using a macbook? In OO.org at least, you have to press fn-fx to get at the application short-cut, otherwise you get the system-wide one.
This doesn't sound like an Eclipse problem.
Are you using an External Keyboard or a macbook ?
If you want to use the debuggers and stuff, you need to change the interpretation of the function keys. You have to manually hit the FN key on your laptop keyboard. Some external keyboards have a function lock.
What about the control click and going directly to the function? That works on the windows version of eclipse, but I can't seem to get it working in Mac OSX.
Tried:
command click = nothing
option click = nothing
control click = opens context menu (like clicking the right mouse button)
You can change system level default behaviour from preferences as #sorin explained. A correction to the claim in the last sentence,
"You can use Fn-function-key to dim the screen and adjust the sound from the keyboard."
for making function keys work for external keyboards by default (and not having to push the extra fn key):
Change the default function key behavior
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
Click Keyboard.
Select "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys on external keyboards".
