Actually, what I'd like to see is that ctrl+F2 shows the command+properties+DS+DocumentView window stack (whichever was on top should be on top again), and should make them vanish altogether when repeated. Also, Ctrl+F1 should treat this stack as a single window, not cycle through them. As it is, if I'm in a visual designer or a code window, I have a handy shortcut to jump into command window, but nothing else. If I want to switch back to the editing window, ctrl+F1 cycles through the properties+DS+DocumentView windows first, and only then jumps to the window I want. Back in 2.x when we had only the command window as an utility, this was easier (but then much else was harder).
Also, when I press ctrl+W, I don't want a dummy square in the command window, I want the last editing window saved and closed.
Does anyone have a handy macro for this, or an intellisense script?
