[Oberon] PO2013 - System.CloseTrack / System.ExtendDisplay

[Skulski, Wojciech]

Joerg: 

How about making it round-robin? Imagine three or more tracks on top of each other. Imagine CTRL-N cycling forward to the "next track", CTRL-B cycling back. (The Oberon Spirit will preclude using CTRL keys, so how about the F-keys.) 

Being able to cycle through a linked list of tracks without closing them will provide for a poor man multiple desktop.

I mention CTRL-N, CTRL-B because OrCAD part editor is using these keys for cycling among the sub-parts of a "composite part". The concept is somewhat similar to the stacked tracks.

Right, it‘s only sort of 3D; it’s „stacked 3D“.
the top most track has to removed first before the hidden tracks underneath get revealed.
