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!
