When using the Lispworks editor, if you want to look at the output
window, you click the output tab of the editor. My question is how do
you go there with keystrokes intead of using the mouse?

I would like to know this as well. But a work-around I sometimes use is to
open the seperate "Output Browser" window and then use whatever OS keyboard
shortcuts you may have to switch between windows. ie Alt+Tab in MS Windows.

Another possibility is using 'autoit', if you're using windows.

From their webpage: AutoIt is a simple tool that can simulate key presses,
mouse movements and window commands (maximize, minimize, wait for, etc.) in
order to automate any windows based task (or even windowed DOS tasks).

I never tried though...

The capi function capi:map-typeout is doing the work, so you could try
something like

(editor:defcommand "Switch to typeout" (x) "" ""
(capi:map-typeout
(editor:window-text-pane
(editor:current-window))))

and then bind that to some keystrokes.

I don't know how to do this.

But, in LW for Windows at least, you can gain access to a window's
menu commands by pressing and releasing the ALT key. So to bring up a
separate "Output Browser" window use the following key sequence:
ALT then W then T then O.

You can close the current active window (which will be the Output
Browser if you've just performed the above keystrokes) with:
ALT then W then E then W.

If, like me, you just want to see the Output Browser all of the time, then
click on Works>>Tools>>Output Browser (I just discovered this a few days
ago, after using the thing for nearly a year :-).
