Well, it's several keystrokes and some searching the list. The problem
is similar to finding the ijx window from an ijs window when the ijx
window is not visible. There, for convenience, pressing F12 it up very
nicely although it can also be done from ctrl-Q. Here is a quick verb
which pops up the corresponding design window from the form being edited
by pressing F12. This may not be the best way to do it, but it
illustrates what I mean. I picked F12 because it's like finding the ijx
window from an ijs window.
form_f12_fkey_jformedit_=:3 : 0
t=.(<;._2);._2 wd 'qpx'
t=.;1{,t#~(<'design')={."1 t=.t#~(<syslocale)=2{"1 t
wd 'psel ',t,';pactive'
)

Subject: Re: [Jbeta] form editor question
Why not add an Fkey to be pressed while the form being edited is the
current window which pops up the form editor (makes it current)? This
could be similar to the way F12 works in an ijs window to see the ijx
window. Sometimes I have so many windows running that the form editor
can be hard to find on the task bar.

ptop is an unusual practice and has funny behavior. It is not
available in jwpp. It made more sense when screens were a lot
smaller, users were less familiar with multiple windows, MDI was
more common, and the use of a taskbar was less current.
We are trying to phase out the use of ptop in the standard system
and libraries. Can you adjust?
ws_clipchildren and ws_clipsiblings were only used for jwdw with the
interated OpenGL support. They have been decomitted with the advent
of the new open OpenGL.
