Switching windows - Virtuoso

kashvi

 Is there any way to use bindkey for switching from one window to other.

For example,  If I want to select some layer in LSW I have to click on

lsw layer window and after selecting the particular layer again I need

to click on layout window.

 

I need to define a bindkey which toggles between lsw and layout window.

 

Thanks,

  • There are several things you can do. First of all, you can configure your Unix window manager (KDE?, Gnome?) so that you don't need to "click" to make windows active. A setting like "Focus follows mouse" is nice to have in Cadence. You can choose whether or not the window automatically raises to the top (I prefer that it doesn't), but I don't have to click in the window to make it active.

    Second, you can set a bindkey to raise the LSW in case it is not visible:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>space" "leRaiseLSW()")

    Third, you can use Cadence's "Layer Tap" feature on key t by default. If it is not on key t, then you can set it with:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>t"        "leHiLayerTap()")

    The layerTap command allows you to click on a shape in the layout to make it your active layer.

    Fourth, do like Roger suggested in his post, Define bindkeys for your commonly used layers.
