Step Active Session

Press and hold the Alt key while you press the ChgSc key to change the active session to make the next highest session the active session. The cursor does not change sides and the session that is not selected is not affected.

For example, suppose three sessions are available. If Session 2 is the active session (the cursor is in Session 2) and is on the left and Session 1 is on the right, press Alt-Change Screen to increment the left side to Session 3. Session 3 displays on the left side and has the cursor. Session 1 is still on the right side (see Figure 9-3, below). If you press the Select Right key, Session 3 is still displayed on the left and Session 1 is still displayed on the right, but now Session 1 has the cursor.

Session 2	Session 1	Session 3	Session 1
(active session)	(inactive session)	(active session)	(inactive session)

Swap Session

Press and hold the Alt key while you press the Swap key to switch sessions without moving the cursor. For example, in side-by-side mode, if the left session is the active session (and has the cursor), press the Alt-Swap key combination to move the left session to the right and the right session to the left. The session on the left is still the active session and has the cursor (see Figure 9-4, below).

Session 1	Session 2	Session 2	Session 1
(active session)	(inactive session)	(active session)	(inactive session)
