Lispworks IDE on Linux

Hi,

I've just started using the Lispworks IDE on Linux (CentOS). I've previously used it on Windows and OS X, but there are some differences. I have some questions that I haven't found documentation for.

Is there a key stroke that can be used to bring the Listener to the front and/or switch between windows? Control-tab doesn't work.

Is there a podium available? It doesn't come up by default.

Is there a document that describes the differences between using the IDE on Unix and other OSes?

Thanks,

Jeremy

I'm on Linux Mint (previously Mandriva) and Windows.

ALT-TAB

^X^O switches between editor windows (only).

I get one by default.

How are you starting LWL?

I don't know of one that explicitly addresses differences.  I find that 
all of the keystrokes I expect to work, do.  Probably because Windows 
and Linux are more similar than OS X.

I'd be glad to answer more such questions...

The IDE provides a function "Invoke Tool", which seems to be bound to
C-# on GTK on lw601 personal
<http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw61/IDE-M/html/ide-m-28.htm>

[But there are other usability issues that interfere with this (and
 other menu accelerators when using the keyboard), on LW/GTK, with both
 emacs and windows bindings.]

The echo-podium comes up by default: Isn't this what you are referring
to ?

(capi:display (capi:find-interface 'lw-tools:lispworks-echo-podium))
