AltTabber
A multi monitor friendly alternative for Windows (r) 7's Alt-Tab
Quick Reference
The application requires no installation. It creates a registry key under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\jakkal\AltTabber .
To activate the window switching overlay, you need to press the
hotkey. By default, it is
Alt +
~ , where
~ is the key above tab (regardless of mapping). You can also click on the AltTabber icon in the notification area.
The default hotkey can be changed to something else, as documented
here.
When the overlay is active, you can:
- Select a window by:
- clicking on it
- scrolling to it with your mouse or `Tab` or `Shift`+`Tab`
- move to it with the cursor keys (arrows)
- Switch to the currently selected window by either:
- double clicking on it
- pressing enter
- pressing the hotkey again
- Exit the overlay using Escape
- Filter the current list of windows by typing in words. It works with any unicode. For example, open up a notepad, open the AltTabber overlay and type NOTEPAD.EXE and it should only show the notepad window (or windows if you had more of them open)
- Move windows across monitors by right clicking on them and selecting Move to monitor X
More info & documentation can be found in the project's
README.md (link's on github because of better markdown; the same source can be found
here; in fact, the two repos are mirrored)
Have fun using it!
