      Windows default keyboard shortcuts

      The following Windows default keyboard shortcuts are supported and cannot be modified.

      • [ALT] + [F4] = closes the current ETS6 main window. Only if the last ETS6 main window will be closed, the whole application closes (compare closing a main window with the red X button in the window title bar).

      • [CTRL] + [F4] = closes the currently active tab. If this was the last tab of the current main window that was closed, a new overview tab will open instead.

      • [CTRL] + [TAB] = selects the 'next' tab in the current main window. If the current tab is the rightmost one, switches over to the first one.

      • [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [TAB] = selects the 'previous' tab in the current main window. If the current tab is the leftmost one, switch over to the last one.
