I discovered that the Ctrl+j shortcut (same as J602) works to advance
from topic to topic but this probably needs to be made more
discoverable (Help|Studio|Advance ?).
Ideally the default JHS and Gtk IDE shortcuts for advancing in a lab
(and other common things) should use the same letter - currently JHS
is (Esc,a) while Gtk IDE is (Ctrl+j).
JHS already uses (Esc,j) to switch to the jijx window, and Gtk IDE
already uses (Ctrl+a) as "select all" - a fairly widely-used standard
(browsers, editors).
Currently:
JHS Gtk
Switch to jijx/Term j T
Switch to jijs/Edit J M
Advance lab topic a j
Proposed:
JHS Gtk
Switch to jijx/Term j j
Switch to jijs/Edit J J
Advance lab topic t t
BTW, as I write this in my browser using Google mail, I notice that
they have successfully managed to use the standard Ctrl+ shortcuts
that we are used to in desktop apps (i.e. Ctrl+s saves my draft,
Ctrl+B for bold etc.). It may therefore be possible to emulate what
they've done in JHS at some stage?
