Ein Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hey, I 've been using Flirc on my PC to control various media apps like mpc and foobar and it has been working great (mapped as a full keyboard). What I wanted to know is if there is a way to emulate an alt+tab on windows so that I can switch between windows. Mapping alt+tab to a key obviously doesn't work as well as it will emulate both key presses each time, hence there is no sane way to actually select the window you want to switch focus to. I've tried mapping alt and tab to separate keys (by mapping alt via the command line utility) to no avail either. Any ideas? Or perhaps a possible enhancement?

jason Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'll have something to remedy this in probably 2 weeks. Keep an eye on the blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchZombie Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hi Ein Try Windows + Tab instead of Alt + Tab, It opens Windows Task View and you can use arrow keys to select which window you want to open. Regards Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Hey, Thanks for the suggestion, but that won't work as I am on 8.1, not 7 or 10. In 8, Win+Tab shuffles between running windows apps, not desktop apps. I do have a somewhat janky workaround involving WIn+T, arrow keys, and Enter key, but I'm holding out that Jason is able to support alt+tab as that works so much better and has been the standard in Windows since forever now.

jason Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 taking a bit longer. In a nutshell, I'm going to announce and release a free cross platform application launcher. You'll be able to pair a remote key with the app. Similar to apples launch pad, and it'll work on any OS. A grid of apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
