Selecting panels or the Property inspector with keyboard
shortcuts
You can select a panel or the Property inspector (also referred to as applying
focus to the panel or Property inspector) by using the keyboard shortcut
Control+Alt+Tab (Windows) or Command+Option+Tab (Macintosh).
You can apply focus to a panel or the Property inspector only when the
panel or Property inspector is visible in the Flash application window. The
panel can be expanded or collapsed.
When you use the keyboard shortcut to select panels, focus is applied to
panels using the following criteria:
Docked panels are given focus first.
If the Timeline is displayed and docked, the Timeline is given focus the
first time you press Control+Alt+Tab (Windows) or
Command+Option+Tab (Macintosh).
If the Timeline is not displayed and docked, or if you press the
keyboard shortcut again, focus moves to the rightmost and highest
docked panel. Pressing the keyboard shortcut repeatedly then moves
the focus through the other docked panels, from right to left and from
top to bottom of the workspace.
If you move the focus through all the docked panels, or if there are no
docked panels displayed, focus then moves to the rightmost and
highest floating panel. Pressing the keyboard shortcut repeatedly then
moves the focus through the other floating panels, from right to left
and from top to bottom of the workspace.
To use keyboard shortcuts to select or deselect, expand, or
collapse panels or the Property inspector:
To move the focus through the panels currently displayed in the
workspace, press Control+Alt+Tab (Windows) or
Command+Option+Tab (Macintosh). A dotted line appears around
the title of the currently focused panel.
To move the focus to the previously selected panel, press
Control+Shift+Alt+Tab (Windows) or Command+Shift+Option+Tab
(Macintosh).
To deselect a panel, press Escape, or move, dock, or undock the panel.
To move the focus to the panel above or below the current panel in a
panel group, press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key.
