I came to request something very similar. I find annoying having to always operate Switcheroo with 2 hands.
I was thinking that Switcheroo could work similarly to the original task switcher in Windows:
- The user hits Alt+Tab and keeps Alt pressed.
At this point, the user has 2 options:
2a) Release the Alt key and use the other great features of Switcheroo (use arrows, type for filtering, press Ctrl+Enter to close a window, ...)
2b) Hit Tab again multiple times until selecting the desired task and release Alt to switch to that task.
As it is now, the second Alt+Tab closes the Switcheroo window, but we could dedicate Esc instead for that.
I really would love to have this '2b' option.
P.S. Also, is this project still alive?

Thanks for your feature request @amynbe!
It's an interesting idea and I will try it out. I'm a bit worried about using Alt
for this since it's already used for Alt+Tab
and Alt+Space
, but maybe it's not a problem even though :)
If you got any other ideas for Switcheroo, then feel free to let me know!

Hello,
I was also looking for something like this.
Maybe 2 shortcuts:
- One with Alt-Tab behaviour, on Alt release, close.
- And Alt-Space with current behaviour, plus press Alt instead of enter.
from switcheroo.
Visual Studio Code has a feature for switching between files (CTRL+E). If you press CTRL+E once, then it will select the active file and allow filtering or commands, but if you press CTRL+E more than once, then it will switch to that file, when CTRL is released.
I'm thinking it could be the same in Switcheroo: If you click Alt+Tab once, then the current window is selected, and it's possible to search by text and use the allows. But if you click on Alt+Tab more than once, then it will change to the selected window when Alt is released.
How does that sound?

Alright, I have tried to implement this:
- The active window is now listed at the top of the list
- If you press Alt+Tab more than once, then Switcheroo switches to the selected window
- If you press Alt, then Switcheroo switches to the selected window
Would you try it out, and see if it works well for your use cases?

Dear @kvakulo , that's very nice, you implemented both requirements. It's working very well.

Regin,
That's is nice, but it does not work consistently if you use a different
shortcut.
In my case, I use Alt+Q for switcheroo, and does not behave as you
described.
The reason why I don't use Alt+Tab for switcheroo is because it can be
pretty slow loading at times (and requires 2 keystrokes to just switch back
and forth between 2 tasks), and I like to use the OS Alt+Tab feature to
switch task back and forth quickly and with only one key stroke
Thanks

Thanks for your feedback, @amynbe and @egabrum!
I have fixed an issue with the Alt-key logic when activating Switcheroo through an hotkey including Alt. Would you mind trying it out, and report back if it fixes the issue @egabrum? :)
from switcheroo.
@kvakulo , my shortcut is Alt-q
With Alt-Tab:
- Alt-Tab open Switcheroo
- Alt-Tab (or releasing Alt and hitting only Tab) changes the selection in the drop-down list of tasks.
- Releasing Tab (or pushing Alt or Enter if used only Tab above) switches to the tasks currently highlighted in the list.
With my shortcut (Alt-q):
- Alt-q open Switcheroo
- Alt-q again closes the Switcheroo window. Hitting only 'q' enters 'q'in the text box.
- N/A
from switcheroo.
ℹ️ In v0.10.0-beta.1 Alt
can be used as Enter
