<p>... especially when its related to a pane added by a plugin thats not always present...<br>
why do you need to shift focus to an output only preview, doesn't it update automagically?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The preview pane does update itself, but if the changed area is out of view, the user would have to scroll manually, since I don't know how to locate the position of changes in the preview pane.  Normally, I would use my touchpad to scroll, but I suppose some people might prefer to change focus and use the keyboard.</p>
<p>My understanding of the way a toggle like this would function is that it would apply to the sidebar as a whole.  So it would be more useful for the Symbols, Documents, and Tree Browser tabs than for the Preview pane.  Toggles are also nice because they reduce the number of shortcuts I have to remember.</p>
<p>Another way a shortcut could work is to just move in sequence among whichever of the editor, sidebar, and message window are visible.</p>

<p>Geany and Geany-plugins are currently in string freeze, and so its unlikely anything will be added before release, since I expect adding a keybinding in the plugin will add a string to its UI.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Could that be why a <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1111" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1111/hovercard">PR I opened to fix a bug in the Markdown plugin</a> has received zero responses?  It doesn't change any user-facing strings, but does use strings to store some javascript.</p>
