Backing up in Frame
Hi all, I am putting out this question on behalf of a colleague here, but it is something I have also long wondered about. Amazing how we end up just accepting the status quo all too often... But I digress. OK, so, you know how you can do a Ctrl+Alt click on a link or cross-reference in Frame to go to the linked topic? Well, is there a key combination that allows you to backtrack to the topic you came from initially (like the Back button in a browser window or Acrobat)? If not, (are you listening Adobe?) why not?

Hi Chuck, Try Escape v P (as in view previous). It only works for links within the same document.

Re: Backing up in Frame
The predefined key sequence is escvP. That's three separate keystrokes: the escape key, a lowercase v, and an uppercase P. You can modify this for your installation by following the instructions in Customizing_Frame_Products.pdf, found in the OnlineManuals directory of your FrameMaker installation. For example, to map it to AltLeft arrow, add the following to the end of wincmds.cfg: Modify GotoPreviousView KeySequence ~/Left However, in my quick testing, the jumps back only seem to work when the destination is in the same file. If you want to return to a location in a different file use CtrlTab to cycle through the open files.

RE: Backing up in Frame
If you are only talking about returning to the location where you were before you followed a hyperlink or cross-reference, the answer is that there is a solution in Shlomo Perets' user interface customizations for FrameMaker, which is now a low-cost commercial product called ToolbarExpress Plus 4.0. See http://microtype.com/ToolbarPlus.html for more information. I've been using Shlomo's free Express Customization package (no longer available) for a number of years but haven't yet waded through the complexity of the corporate purchasing process to upgrade to the new tool. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Here's another: Shlomo Perets' FM customization kit (see microtype.com)adds a Jump Back button to the Quick Access bar and maps it to Shift+F2.
