Two projects open - is there a shortcut key to toggle between them?
Sometimes I open a second project, or another version of the same project, in order to copy a clip or track across. But I've never found a handy way of toggling between the two projects. Is there a shortcut key; I can't seem to find one.

Go to File and under your mouse click you have the choice to open the project's version you like.

Ctrl-Tab only works one way for me, i.e. it won't toggle between the two, just switches to one and then Ctrl-Tab does nothing.

Ctrl+Tab should toggle - working here. An alternative is to use Alt+W to open the Window menu, and then hit the number of the window/project you want.

It will tab between all open windows, so if project #2 has an effects window open, your next ctrl-tab will focus on the effects window, which makes it look like nothing's happened. That's got me a few times too.

For me, the shortcut that toggles between the opened windows is ALT+tab.

ALT+tab will switch between separate application windows - or separate instances of applications running. CTRL+tab will switch between windows in the same applications (typically this applies to an MDI - multi document interface). e.g., if you open two projects while the application is already running, then the same 'host' application is servicing them both. You would use ctrl+tab to flip between them. This same this thing happens on a 'tabbed' browser. The ctrl+tab will move between each tab. (this is also and MDI interface - just displayed as tabs). I think you can control this in CbB by selecting the open each project in a new window (or something like that). If the application doesn't 'force' a new instance of the application (alt+tab), then it is running in the same memory space (ctrl+tab) to switch what has 'focus'. Good luck!

Have you tried going to the "Lenses" drop down menu, click on "None" even if "None" is already checked. I usually have to do this to get my Ctrl-TAB working properly, ever since the Lenses feature was introduced.

Thanks, that seems to help. Although, I had 'None' already selected in Lenses, so selected a different lens and it made things work! Another way I got it to 'work' was to go into each project and close down any piano roll, console, views, etc. first. Methinks a bug may be lurking here, or at least some inconsistent behaviour.
