        Thanks, Ivo.

        I did stumble across these shortcuts a little while ago and have found them very useful.

        Is it possible to add an additional keyboard shortcut that alternates between the available computer models?

        This would be super useful when making quick model comparisons of particular weather features.

        Thanks.

          I'd love to have +/-24h shortcuts (like CTRL+), and model change shortcuts.

            Thank you!

            Btw, I think you have to change the wx radar symbol because is the same with preci. type symbol (an umbrella!).
            How do you like something like this? 0_1529308020739_ab7250bc-732f-40d3-85fa-940905920b36-εικόνα.png

              On Twitter, "?" brings up a list of keyboard shortcuts. Saves a lot of bytes,

                      Unrelated to adding a hotkey, I'd like for windy to not hijack windows hotkeys Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab. Windy unnecessarily uses those keys to duplicate the function of the plain-old Tab key, and I see no option to disable that. (I need those keys to switch tabs while in full-screen mode.)

                          Thanks for the keyboard shortcuts :)

                          In addition to left and right, could we also have the option to jump bigger steps with different keys please? Eg:

                          < > 1 hour
                          Left Right 3 hours
                          PgUp PgDown 12 hours

                          (Use whichever keys you like, not too fussed about that.)

                          When you go Premium, left and right only increments by 1 hour so you find yourself RSI-inducingly stabbing away at the keyboard as it slowly transitions (especially overnight when you're usually less interested). We could really do with another set of keys for 3 / 6 / 12 hours.

                              @NataliaAndruk it would be amazing if WASD moved the map.
