Thanks Gerhard for your thoughts. It does make sense. However from *a* user's, i.e. me, perspective I'd like to assume that key combos which pertain to Board and Notation are always passed down to those windows irrespective of the active window, unless I'm working with a modal window or a pop-up menu.
Perhaps one thing that confused me in the beginning was the fact that simply clicking in the Notation window doesn't give it the focus. Rather I've got to the right-click left-click drill to transfer focus. Nothing pressing TBH. Mostly an annoyance I can live with. I was hoping I may have something misconfigured which in turn causes this behaviour. -- Bahman Movaqar (he/him/his) https://linktr.ee/bahmanm On Sat, 2024-08-10 at 02:27 +0200, Gerhard Lorscheid wrote: > > Hello, > > this is not a bug but something to define.
