I can reproduce this very annoying behaviour. I have to refocus the image window in order to get TAB to work again, and basically gave up on using TAB at all. Platform: Arch Linux (i686), GTK 2.16.5, Window Manager: AwesomeWM 3.3 I believe my WM always focuses the newly shown window, which may reflect on this behaviour. > > b) Focus to Layers. Press F11.

I can't reproduce this; all keyboard shortcuts work as expected, except where they conflict (for example, when a text-entry field like palette or color name is in focus, you have to be able to type o as an ordinary letter). May be Windows-only. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
