    shortcuts

    Hi All,
    I have two keyboard shortcut questions....
    1) Is there a shortcut for returning to family view from tree view. (it's probably something so obvious) I command t to get to tree view but I can't seem to find a shortcut to return??
    2) Is there a shortcut to view multiple marriages in family view e.g. I'm looking at Joe Blow with his first wife Mary and 8 children, is there a shortcut key to bring up his second wife Elizabeth and their 3 children??
    Taa

    Ps I don't really have a Joe Blow but I've heard he's closely related to John Doe ;P

    Use the "Esc" key.

    type "hns<RETURN>" for Husband's Next Spouse, or "wns<RETURN>" for Wife's Next Spouse.

    or

    option-h for Husband's Next Spouse and option-w for wife's next spouse.
    (that's option, not command).

    I don't think there are short cuts for previous spouses, but you can use "b<RETURN>" for "back" if you've just come from them, or just keep pressing option-h or option-w to circle back around to the first one (fine for most purposes, unless you're dealing with Liz Taylor, Brigham Young, or Etti Plesch....)

      Thanks a bunch, Dennis
      I should have known you'd come to my rescue.

      I do have an Elizabeth Taylor in my tree, she was my great grandmother on my mother's side.......really.

        But does she come equipped with seven husbands ?

            That is so handy. I have often wondered if there was a quicker way while right clicking etc. Thanks Dennis.
