        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!).

              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.)
