Revue and Accessories

[LoUDAMaN]

I finally got my update today after work, and had numerous problems with the network connection, tv control, stb control, keyboard,etc.  I had to use BOTH my ethernet and wifi to finally get the update done with.  I even had to factory reset three times ... but all in all, it is now working with my cable and new Sony tv.  But here's my dilemma:  Before the update, I made great use of all the keyboard shortcuts, especially "Ctrl-Tab" to switch between ALL open windows (Chrome pages, Tv, etc.), now I can't do that.  I read a couple of the posts on here and figured out alot of other stuff, like bookmarks in Chrome and TV are now separated, and to see what windows I have open in Chrome, I now have to use the 'info' button (between "Alt" & "Ctrl" on bottom right) and then go to that menu to see open windows, but only shows me Chrome windows, doesn't show me live tv, netflix, etc.   Anyone know if there is going to be an update to the keyboard shortcuts for the update?  Is there a shortcut for switching between open windows?  I really found that previous option useful to be able to switch between as many open windows as I wanted to.  Anyone??  Thanks for all the help and feedback on this forum.  Keep up the excellent work.

alt-tab switches between apps. its not user friendly bc alt key is far away from tab. i havent found a way to switch between browser windows as ctrl-tab no longer works.

They didn't include the Task / WIndow Manager from Android 2.1 (Eclair) version of Google TV in the update.  So, you cannot use the [Ctrl]+[Tab] to bring it up anymore.  At the moment the best you can do is find a replacement application from the Android Market. 

As for selection between the different browser windows, you'll have to use GTV Menu > Windows while in Chrome for that.  I don't know if there's a keyboard shortcut for that action.

ALT + TAB does not cycle through CURRENT RUNNING APPS. It cycles through RECENT APPS whether they are running or not.

same experiences here. Is there any idea as to when these issues are going to be addressed/ fixed?

Here are the new shortcuts in chrome.

CTRL+T = new tab/window
CTRL+A = Select all
CTRL+D = "Add to..." screen
CTRL+C = copy
CTRL+X = cut
CTRL+V = Paste
CTRL+W = close window
CTRL+Click on a link = open link in a new tab.
CTRL+N = new tab.
CTRL+SHIFT+T = New Tab/Window
CTRL+SHIFT+N =New Tab/Window

Yeah, with the old version of Android we could use Ctrl+Tab to see a list of running/open applications and/or windows and allowed you to swtich between them and close them.  Now the only way I know how to close them if I have a ton of apps running is to pull out the power from the Revue.  Does anybody know how to do that anymore?  Thanks for your help and time!

Now to kill apps you have to figure out how to exit each app, and it can be any number of ways from Holding [Esc] or GTV Back or pressing GTV Back enough times that backtracks you out of the app.  Otherwise, you can go into GTV Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running and kill the apps from that screen.  Last but not least you can use one of the many Task Killer app from the Android Market.

go into GTV Settings > Applications
