Question : Keyboard shortcut to close database window

Is there a keyboard shortcut to close the database window.  I know [F11] opens it but I wish I could close it easliy and quickly with one keystroke.

Answer : Keyboard shortcut to close database window

Closing the database window in fact closes the database. I'm guessing here that what you really want is to hide the database window, menu (Window | Hide), so that you can "open" (in reality unhide) it again with [F11].

As there are no keyboard shortcut for that, you can build your own using the AutoKeys macro. This is a macro with the keyboard shortcut in the "name" column. It would contain:

    Name: ^H    -- meaning Ctrl+H

    Action: SelectObject
    Object Type: Macro
    Object Name: AutoKeys
    In Database Window: Yes

    Action: RunCommand
    Command: WindowHide

The "select object" is just a precaution, as the same macro could in fact hide any active window. This ensures that the database window is the active window before hiding it. You can of course select any other object from your database.

Cheers!
