I’ve never quite gotten the appeal of Winlike alt-tab myself. Its usability rapidly degrades with the number of windows open, with the downward slope beginning at ~5 windows and curving down exponentially from there. Being that I’ve always got 10+ windows open at any given time it’s almost useless for me.
I could see some utility in a keystroke that only toggles between the two last used windows, but full-on alt-tab just doesn’t work for me.
- eviks 3y agoYou can for smaller visible thumbnails of much more than 5 windows in the switcher, or even use a list of icons, or just the fact that most recent windows are shown (and older 20+ is not) is already very useful
- zanellato19 3y agoThat's exactly what alt-tab is when used without holding.
- kitsunesoba 3y agoYep, but I think that little bit of functionality alone is enough to be given its own separate shortcut that doesn't summon UI or switch to some other window if accidentally held a bit too long.
- eviks 3y agoAlt tab mac switcher app allows you to set the delay, so you can set it high and only use for invisible app switching (apparition delay) it's still not prefect as it's not forced to consider only two windows (that would require a separate hack)
