Is there any shortcut, bindkey to bring up CIW window quickly?

Is there any shortcut, bindkey to bring up CIW window and Library Manager quickly?
(version  IC6.16-64b.101)

    You can easily define one - the command that you'd put in the bind key string would be:

    "hiDeiconifyWindow(hiGetCIWindow()) hiRaiseWindow(hiGetCIWindow())"

    This copes with it being minimised as well as being hidden.

    Is this the correct command for CIW windows?

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F3"  hiDeiconifyWindow(hiGetCIWindow()) hiRaiseWindow(hiGetCIWindow())")
    Also how would you do it for Library Manager? 
    I don't know how to write  bindkey command yet.

    Yes, that would do it for schematic windows. You can’t define bindkeys for the library manager.

    Try this...

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics","CTRL<Key>l", "ddsOpenLibManager()")

    Ah, just realised the question was potentially ambiguous. I thought it was asking about whether you could define a bind key for the library manager which raised the CIW; NickA posted a solution to open the library manager from the schematic (which is a reasonable thing to do, and is perfectly possible) - I didn't interpret the question that way, but if that's what BaaB meant, then that's the answer.

    Andrew.
