CCS/AWR1843: Key shortcut for switching between edit and debug views

Part Number: AWR1843

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

During debug and development, I frequently switch between edit and debug views (perspectives) but I didn't find any shortcut when hovering around the icons or  in the key bindings list [Help->show active keybindings]. I also checked window->preferences->General->keys and scrolled through the long list to look for the icon on the side and also see in the alphanumeric entry for presence "CCS Edit" or "CCS Debug" (these texts appear when you hover around the edit/debug icons) but were not present in the list. Is there some other way?

    I already tried this when I googled for eclipse in general but nothing happend. I tried again now after your post, I am in debug view, with DSP core halted, when I do Ctrl-F8, it switches the core from halted to "Free Running" state instead of changing the perspective, this happens if I had selected the Debug window in the debug view or if I had selected Expressions window [haven't tried all others in the debug perspective]. It looks like some overlaying of the shortcut. I have never changed the default settings for key shortcuts since I installed CCS and I looked at the shortcut list again and I do see "Ctrl+F8" says "Next Perspective" so I guess it should have worked.

    CCS version info :

    Version: 8.3.0.201812181800
    Build id: N201812181800

    Actually, you are right. That shortcut can change if you are in a debug session.

    When not in an active debug session, CTRL+F8 lets you toggle between perspectives. When there is an active debug session, it will do a "Free Run". You can remap the "Free Run" to a different shortcut to prevent it from overriding the the one to switch perspective.

    Thanks

    Thanks. I realize it is easier to see the overlap by pressing the "Binding" tab which sorts per the key and which is what you must have done before giving the graphic in your post. I changed the binding of next perspective to Alt+Q [hasn't been used elsewhere and even if it had, I would have changed that one], as I often use the windows Alt+Tab to switch windows (I am not a multi-screen guy) which I do using thumb and middle finger and Q is closest to the Tab so it is kind of easier using thumb and index finger and it works as expected :-) I will close the thread shortly.
