Coda 2 Tab Between Split Windows

I just spent about an hour searching the internet trying to figure out the keyboard shortcut to tab (or move) between the split windows within a tab in Coda 2. After looking through the Apple shortcuts, I finally found one that works:

Control + Tab

It’s so simple. But there’s a catch. To get this to work you first must open another tab before opening the Terminal window.

Steps:

1. Create a new tab/document
2. Add a new split Document or Preview window
3. Add a new split Terminal window
4. Close the second Document or Preview

At this point you should be able to Control + Tab between the Document window and the Terminal window. It’s not ideal, but it works when needed.

On a related note, I’m interested to see what Panic has up their sleeve for Coda 2.5. It should be released soon.

    Either I’m following your steps wrong or this doesn’t work. When I press Control + Tab while in the document pane, I get a blue highlight around the X icon on its bottom left. If I keep pressing Control + Tab, it cycles through the elements next to the X—the hide sidebar, gear, share, and airpreview icons. No switching between panes. 🙁

      Coda 2 is pretty fickle about this, but usually if the Terminal window is the middle window, Control + Tab will work once you close the bottom document/preview.

      Let me know how it goes for you.
