Cycling through panels and starting focus
Hi all, requesting some help with panels.I keep three panels available- downloads, bookmarks, and current tabs. Sometimes the panel floats, sometimes it's docked but most of the time it's not on at all. It's super handy to F4 it on/off in fullscreen.
Two questions- is there a hotkey to cycle through the panels? Seems inefficient to have hotkey access to them, but then have to move the mouse to change between them.
And a similar question- once a panel is opened (say bookmarks), is there a way to automatically get the focus on the list (or a equivalent of F9 but for panels)? Again having to moving the mouse makes a hotkey redundant. Sometimes Tab works, but sometimes it moves focus to, or just stays in the currently displayed webpage, I haven't figured out the logic of that yet.
Thanks for any help!

Welcome!
When having panels active (by pressing F4 for example), press F7 - now you can change selected panel with up/down or left/right arrows.
EDIT: Well, it doesn't work as I thought it would. [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Number] keyboard shortcut doesn't work for me either now.

I find that the following shortcuts work well for me:
1 ctrl = Focus panel, 0 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
2 ctrl = Focus panel, 1 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
…
9 ctrl = Focus panel, 8 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
0 ctrl = Focus panel, 9 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
The shortcuts toggle the 1st - 10th panels on the panel selector — the first, bookmarks, being panel 0 — and they work for custom panels too. If you need more than 10 panels, extend with:
1 ctrl shift = Focus panel, 10 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
1 ctrl = Focus panel, 0 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
2 ctrl = Focus panel, 1 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
…
9 ctrl = Focus panel, 8 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0
0 ctrl = Focus panel, 9 | Hide panel, -1 | Set alignment, "hotlist", 0

Focus panel > Focus panel, 1 > Focus panel, 2 > Focus panel,3You can switch panel with it, but you won't be able to close hotlist with it.

AFAIK, NO. The only way to do it is using macros, which IMHO it's not worth the troble...is there a way to automatically get the focus on the list
Press F7 after F4, this will focus on the last focused element on the panel.
Other than that you will have to use TAB to switch focus between elements.
