Is there a shortcut for jumping between editor and console in the workspace environment?

In the Workspace environment i open for this course, there is the possibility to run the php code in the console which came pretty handy. But i always need to click with my mouse to jump from editor into the console and backwards. Is there a shortcut for doing that? I guess not because it is not shown in the menu. But it would be very handy to experiment with.

Thanks in advance!

Sadly, I don't think that's possible yet on Treehouse. That might be a great feature Treehouse should add! :smile:

For those who might not know: with "ctrl + l" you can clear the console. With "cursorUp" you can slide through your last commands. The console is pretty nice for beginners to experiment with code.

A shortcut to switch between code and console would make it perfect.

You can clear the console by typing the clear command as well.

Hi, I would actually suggest using an outside source IDE such as NetBeans or VS Code. It is a good practice to learn and control an IDE for a future job. You can then view your code and the output by just refreshing the browser.
