[amo] Alt+Arrow won't shift focus in Arr.View b22

Hi,

This is either a bug or new behaviour in 8 that I haven't noticed in previous betas.
I cannot switch focus between the File Browser, Track Display, and Track Title Bars using Alt+Arrow in Arrangement View.

Switching focus down to Clip Area from Arrangement View and vice versa works fine.
As does switching focus anywhere in Session View.

If I select a Track Title Bar, Alt+Left will shift focus to the last selected clip in Track Display.
Further Alt+Arrow strokes position the insert marker at the end or start of the clip alternatively - (which I love!)
Needless to say, Alt+Right after selecting a clip will not select the Track Title Bar.
Same is true between File Browser and Track Display.

I'm not sure I'll miss this as long as it is still possible in Session View, and especially with the new possibility to AltClick in a folded track to select time.
But I just thought I'd point it out as other may use it lots.

Hi,

This is not a bug: ALT is nowadays the shortcut to switch the grid ON/OFF temporarily, depending if it is already ON or OFF in the editors (Arranger, clip detail view). So, it is not possible anymore to "escape" these areas, using these shortcuts.

Hi,

I moved the topic as this is no bug.
