  • Richard,

     

    Recently we discussed how the keyboard shortcut to flick between schematic and board was disabled in the Mac OS X version of Eagle.

    While I was working today it occurred to me that I can use Mac OS X's 'Spaces' feature - with the board in one space and the schematic in another and this worked great - AND it gives you a really cool sliding animation when you switch between schematic and board.

     

    If you've never used spaces on Mac OS X before I strongly urge you to try it out - it's one of those 'how did we ever manager without this' features.

     

    One minor point though. When I closed the project and openend it again, the windows remembered their size and position on screen, but not which 'space' they were in, so every time I opened the project I had to move the windows to their respective space again.
