Just use the Alt+Tab shortcut, i.e. hold down the Alt key and type one ore more Tab until you see the title bar of the application you want to switch to, then release the Alt key. To get back to your first application do the same, you will have to push Tab only once, because Windows seems to display the title bars in a least recently used order. It will switch modes only after you release the Alt key, and only if the application switched to uses a mode different from the one switched from. Wolfgang Strobl #include
