Did you know... You can use the keyboard to jump to various panes within the Output Window -#148

The output window has a drop down, as shown below, to move between various outputs views (or panes), like Debug and Build.  There’s a command called Window.NextSubPane that you can use to jump to the next output pane.

The command in itself isn’t that interesting, but you can bind it to a keyboard shortcut, maybe Ctrl+Alt+Shift+O (since Ctrl+Alt+O is for the output window under general development settings). 

Now you can toggle easily between debug and build in the output window using a keyboard shortcut.

  Hi Sarah Did you know that Alt+S will open that drop-down when focus is in the Output panel.  (With 'hide underlines' disabled the S of "Show output..." is underlined). And of course one can use Ctrl+W,O to get focus to the output window in the first place. Alan
