how do i change premiere pro settings so that if i alt-tab into premiere, the default window focus is the timeline? every time i alt-tab into premiere, I have to press shift+3 to change the focus to the timeline. this means i am pressing shift+3 a lot throughout the day. is there any way to set the default focus to the timeline? 

 

thank you in advance for your help

Window focus drives me INSANE!!!!  Why, oh why, do the shortcuts not just work despite what window you're focused on?!  They're not really shortcuts if you need to keep changing focus.  One minute I'll be happily editting, marking INs and OUTs, cutting out chunks of timeline and the next minutye BOOM, no more focus on the Window and all my shortcuts stop working.  LIke ZOOM.  Why would I want to ZOOM that useless line under the record window?  ZOOM should be for timeline only.   This is why Avid is still the go-to application for editing Broadcast.  It's old-fashinoned, but boy can you cut down hours of footage really fast.

Simon.Is it STILL broken?
