Return Focus to Editor Window After Preview - Option

Post by Sebi »

I suggest to add to Texniccenter the following option:

After applying the shortcut for compiling and editing, the window focus should return to the editor, and not stay in the dvi-previewer.

Background: On a 24" TFT or a dual monitor configuration, it makes sense to have both Texniccenter and Yap windows visible side-by-side. However, with the current Texniccenter behavior, it it necessary to hit either alt+tab, or to click the mouse to continue editing.
An option that specifies where the window focus should stay after the previewer has been invoked would not require this additional clicks and would be very helpful.

Regards,
Sebastian

As another user of a double monitor setup, I wholeheartedly concur.
