Hello,
Ive come over from Rhino for Windows and would regularly use the Ctrl + Tab (and Shft + Ctrl + Tab) shortcut to cycle or switch through the perspective and ortho viewports but i cant find an equivalent in the mac version, does it exist?
I had a look in the command and found “nextviewport” which seems to switch the active viewport but doesn’t actually change the view you are seeing when maximised, am I missing something?
Thanks 
I’ll get the NextViewport problem on the bug list.
Command + ` (the key to the left of the 1 on the top row) cycles between open windows in most Mac apps.
Window != Viewport !
Ah, right… sorry for misunderstanding the issue.
Looks like it was already added to the tracker about a year ago.
I added your suggestions and the link to this thread for the developer.

Hello.
You can do it with keyboard shortcuts. I hope my video can help.
I inserted the ^ + tab +arrow, but you can use other commands. Note that I set these commands to Rhino only to “reduce” overlaps with shortcuts to other programs.

Thanks John, I’m assuming this means that “nextviewport” and “prevviewport” would achieve the result I’m looking for?
Thanks for the video Zsimon, I’m actually looking for a way to cycle/ tab through all viewports in the session with a single command rather than assigning different viewports their own individual command but I appreciate the response and this is a helpful workaround 
I could try Rhino Win and including the operation of the command that you describe. I do not think that this command can be played easily on Rhino Mac, ctrl + tab on Windows is equivalent to ⌘ + Tab on Mac as we know that activates Application Switcher.
NextViewport is the command that should work, but it’s broken in Mac Rhino currently. I added it to the list last week when the question was originally asked abs discussed.
Thanks for clarifying,
Zak
Wow, it’s fixed! Probably for a long time already, but I just tried and created a shortcut for NextViewport and it works! As in Windows. Great! Guess the issue for developers can be closed.
works great! thanks for adding this feature.
now we only need a command such as PreviousViewPort
Thanks a lot,
Rudi
Hi Rudi,
Thanks for resurrecting this.
I saw your reply so I add this to the tracker RH-61865 New Viewport Commands Requested.
Feel free to register on the YouTrack site and follow progress.

on rhino 8 for Mac. the next viewport command is broken again…
after cycling through all four viewports one ends up in a 4 View and can’t cycle further.
Hello,
Sorry to bump the topic again:
Same as Phelan mention, plus, when in the Layout view, it only switches the Properties Panel, not the view, and continues through the Viewports.
Also the order does not seem to follow the order in the lists.
I would find it useful to be able to switch from one layout to another without having to double-click in the Layouts Panel.
Any help is very much appreciated,
Aurèle
Hi Aurelius -
I’m not seeing that here. Can you provide both more details and the output from the Rhino SystemInfo command?
That’s the request in RH-61865 New Viewport Commands Requested

Hi Wim
Many thanks for your answer!
In a new empty file, _MaxViewport and cycle trough the four standards views with _NextViewport. All good here.
Then I create a new Layout and go back to a maximised viewport. _NextViewport again, and it indeed cycles through the viewports, but once at the end of the four standard viewports, it ‘minimises’ the view and stop going through the viewports.
I have the feeling it worked at some point too :]
And below, the SystemInfo:

Thanks and best,

Hi Aurèle -
Thanks, that, indeed, does the trick.
