- ctrl-` and ctrl-shift-` opens the toolbox
Disadvantages:
- may be counterintuitive: I see a dialog and I want to move focus to
it to use some of its widgets. Now I press e.g. ctrl-shift-f and focus is moved to the dialog. With toggles, I will have to press ctrl-shift-f twice to do the same (once to switch it off and then on again). The same situation is when one dialog obscures another: now I press the shorcut of the bottom one and it jumps to top at once, with toggles I will have to press it twice.
Any comments?
In Illustrator the one panel that is constantly being used in this manner is the fonts panel, Ctrl+T(text)
I think it's far better a thing to have the dialog disappear the first time you hit this modifier, because your hand is already in position to show it again if it does disappear.
