thanks, Ben – that’s it
I actually did figure it out (right after posting) and was going to answer my own question when I found I was cleared for posting but you beat me to it – I know I had used that shortcut to open/close the window before, could have sworn I tried it in this situation but apparently I did not – it is a nice time save and can’t believe I didn’t find that over the course of weeks (though wasn’t searching for it full time)
again, thanks
