Task Switcher in Most-Recently-Used order?

Postby traycerb » 30.11.2009 04:26:01

Been waiting for the cross-desktop functionality of the Task Switcher for a long time, so it's great to see its appearance in Dexpot 1.5.

That said, I wanted to make 2 requests regarding its behavior:

1) Have the list processed in most-recently-used (MRU) order.
e.g. if I'm using FF on desktop #1 and switch to Desktop #2 and itunes, activating Task Switcher should highlight FF on #1. This is similar to Windows Alt-Tab behavior.

2) Have a way to exit Task Switcher without switching apps.
On Windows Alt-Tab, pressing Escape cancels the Alt-Tab box, and leaves you where you were. Can this be implemented for Task Switcher?

Anyway, love v1.5. keep up the good work.

EDIT: Also, on http://dexpot.de/index.php?id=taskwechsler the directions for the hotkey should be Settings • Controls • Hotkeys • Dexpot Components

hey dexpot/patrick/sebastian,

what's your take on this request (i.e. having Task Switcher behave like Windows Alt-Tab)? I think it's both useful and familiar, but I'm curious to know your take on it... Any chance you'd consider it?
