Toggle UI not working

[juanborras]

Hey there!

Just tried to toggle ui with the tab key and didn't work. Checked Designer and worked. Is it a bug?

 

Thanks 

Juan

1. When you look at the View menu, what shortcut do you see for Toggle UI in your Publisher installation?
2. Make sure you did not have a Text Frame selected for editing when you pressed Tab.

Hey Walt!

Nothing is selected and tab is the shortcut... just send a capture...

Hi,

The key is status of the cursor when you try to use the 'tab' shortcut. If the cursor is in text mode the shortcut won't register, but if it the cursor is in the Move or Node status the shortcut works.

I have also been struggling with this potentially useful shortcut because it did not seem obviously how to not have anything selected. So in "full view" mode you hit TAB and you end up inserting a tab break rather than getting the tools back.

It would appear that the best/most obvious way to "not have an object selected" when you have no tool bars it to click an area outside the frame, sometimes referred to the slug area. Pressing TAB then works as a toggle UI as expected.

If you're editing in a text frame, Tab will insert a tab. In that case, yes, you can click outside the frame. Or you can press Esc to exit editing mode.
