    Just need to be sure: there is a way to toogle between different open stylesheets in StyleMaster - right?
    What is the keyboard shortcut? I am using the smaller version of the wireless keyboard from Apple, so it's possible I should use a different combination.
    CTRL + Tab or ALT + TAB doesn't work, neither does COMMAND + ~ (tilde) and this is where I am now.

    Also a feature request:
    Wouldn't it be nice to be able to put the different stylesheets in different tabs in the same window, just like in most modern browsers?

    Hi,

    on the Mac, you can tab between open windows with cmd + ~, unless the preview field is the focus - webkit traps that keystroke :-(

    Re tabbed windows - we actually did something like this a few years back in early betas for 4.0. and had the biggest negative response ever to a feature. But as it seems everyone does this now, I'd say at some point we'll look at putting it back.

    Interestingly, it actually user reduces options in some ways - as it essentially makes editing modal - dragging between different windows, etc becomes difficult if not impossible. While it makes sense in browsers, where folks often open many windows, and each is discrete, it doesn't seem to bring as much benefit to something like Style Master

    But it seems that the trend has won!

    interesting little history briefing there...

    Maybe the perfect mix is to be able to choose which style you want - or even better - to be able to "dock" and "undock" flies/windows on an individual basis.

    "Dragging" - I take it from your reply that drag and drop in the code should work, right?
    That is another thing that doesn't work on my install. And I have tried until getting blue to make it work, but still no success. Is there a special setting to enable this?

    (Drag and drop works in every other program on my mac, so it should work in StyleMaster too, right?)

    about history / tabs:

    Maybe you were just a bit ahead of your time!

    Hi Anders,

    drag and drop should definitely work in the release version.

    We had some problems during beta, but it definitely should work now!
    Re tabs - I do think we have been ahead of the curve in some areas, and this may well be one of them!

    We are far form done with Style Master, so stay tuned!

    thanks
