Question

When I run tests and open the run window using the Alt+4 shortcut, I find the cursor either in the list of tests on the left or in the console/output on the right.I would like to switch back and forth between the two using the keyboard only.

I have searched in the keymap, the online help and have posted in the RubyMine forum but could not find an answer.

Experimenting with Alt/Ctrl/Shift+Arrows/Tabs/Numbers combos did not help.

The window parts are not individually selectable in the window switcher (Ctrl+E).

I am using RubyMine 5.4.3.2.1

Thank you.

Solution

As far as I can see, using Intellij 13.0.1, or a derived IDE, like RubyMine 6 Tab should work, with certain nuances.

When the focus is on the list of tests initially, I am able to tab between the list of tests and the console - the thing is, I cant see a cursor when I tab to the console/output, but if I use shift-up/down to I can see that the console definitely has the focus.

Pressing Tab again puts focus back to the list of tests on the left.

If the focus is in the console/output initially, pressing Tab has no effect and I have to use the mouse to 'escape'.

Earlier versions, based on ItelliJ 12 seem not to support this feature.

I hope this helps.
