Hey folks,
I've been working on adding a feature to twin which will allow us to do
Mac like switching. This has already been a boost in my productivity
since completing the patch
For those unfamiliar with the concept, on an Apple computer, they have
ALT+Tab and ALt+`. Alt tab functions similarly to ours, but the really
good feature is the ALT+`. It allows you to switch between windows of
the same application. Instead of having to scroll through a many
different applications, you just see the ones on the same type. Example:
you want to switch to the Firefox "download" window, and you are
currently focused on your main firefox window. A quick Alt+` will switch
you back and forth between two, like Alt+Tab operates, to see the tab
box hold down Alt+` to view of the same type, and switch between
multiple ones you then do the regular old Alt+Tab.
I hope I didn't ramble to much, but it's an very useful feature! Just
try it out and see!
I have attached the patches to the bug tracker.
