It has improved my multi-tab experience by a lot but an alt+tab like functionality would be just chef's Kiss

Okay, since it is highly requested, I'll plan to implement it like this: (Not guaranteed that it will be implemented)

  1. An option to turn this on or off for a specific United Sets window (This is since I believe that my solution is not the best and only work case by case)
  2. Each tab will have a corresponding hidden window on the alt+tab switcher window (Plan to have an app icon in the center OR the app screenshot, depending on performance) since I did a search and it is not possible to have Alt+Tab in the normal way (in technical terms, window with an owner will not appear in Alt+Tab switcher)
  3. If Alt+Tab lands on one of the hidden windows, the tab will switch to that window.

I'm not sure if it will work great if I make this in the Alt+Tab switcher itself. This is the easiest way without potentially having problems with other applications using the same keybind.

Comments will be appreciated if something like this is okay or not. I do not want to implement something that I have to remove later because it is not useful.

Art Concept that I quickly put together with MS Paint (In this case, I put Notepad and Windows Terminal in United Sets window) image If performance allows, I might replace app icons with app screenshot themselves but I'm not too sure about that.
