 Estimable LyX folk,
 
 The answer seems to be “no” but: is it possible to set up a keyboard 
 shortcut that,
 when one has split a window into two panes (“views” in LyX-speak), will 
 make the
 inactive pane active so that one can easily switch from one pane to the 
 other?
 "Ctrl-X O" does this in emacs and it’s a real timesaver, as one doesn’t 
 have to lift
 one’s hand off the keyboard, move the mouse cursor to the inactive pane, 
 click, and
 move one’s hand back to the keyboard. I am almost always working with a 
 split window
 and I jump between panes frequently, so this would really be a huge 
 convenience.
 
 Thanks!

Couldn’t wait! I downloaded the latest MacOS beta and have already bound 
shortcuts to tab-group-next and tab-group-previous, thanks! (I expect that, as 
usual, Kali Linux will be updated promptly to 2.4 once it is out of beta.)

Yes, I was referring to lyx2.4, sorry. Since it will be available shortly, you 
may want
to wait a little?
(I felt tempted to add this shortcut to emacs.bind, so now it is there, commit 
bf69b7b3)
