  • Is there a keyboard jump from bin name to capture window name

    Posted by Smiling Editor on January 20, 2006 at 3:20 pm

    I’m a new MCA user and I love staying on the keyboard and avoiding the mouse. As I am logging and capturing shots, I have many shots that are sequential i.e. W dolly right tk1, W dolly right tk2, etc. I like to keep the name in the bin active after I’ve captured a shot and then copy/paste that name into the name window on the capture window. Is there a keyboard shortcut to jump from the name in the bin to the name box in the capture window? Another suggestion?
    Thanks,

    I capture/log the same way on our MCA. I think you can control-tab through the windows. If the bin and capture are all that’s open, I believe that key combination toggles between them.

    No, that didn’t work – it just keeps tabbing in the bin window. On the Mac, command-Tab brings up your currently open applications so, that didn’t do it either.
    Thanks for trying.
