[FEATURES REQUEST] WINDOW VALIDATION

[JE-Amouel]

Hi, firstly, thanks for adding the dbus functionality,

I was able to improve my script, and trigger coverflow properly,

I was able to easily interface it at the AATWS dock

and also on CHC, which was now in the top right corner of my screen, I was able to define two actions: scroll up: overview of activities scroll down: coverflow - window switcher

and all that without torturing my fingers too much with the usual keyboard shortcuts.

however I still have a suggestive request to improve the interface which is triggered by the Dbus method, all this boils down to the selection of windows, relative to navigation by keyboard and/or mouse.

the current behavior is that when I navigate between windows, to be able to select a window, I must be above it, and press ESC, which I find a little counter-intuitive.

I think it would still be nice to be able to have the possibility of not choosing any window.

with the mouse, for example if I trigger coverflow from my hot corner or the dock, when the Coverflow window switching interface is triggered, I would like to be able to scroll in front of all my windows as needed, and only switch windows if I left click on it, and if I click in the void, I would like to return to the window previously targeted before triggering coverflow.

with the keyboard, I would like to be able to select the window when I press ENTER, and exit the interface when I press ESC to return to the previously targeted window.

THANKS

if I click in the void, I would like to return to the window previously targeted before triggering coverflow.

This I will have to work differently, I think. The issue is you can click and drag to switch windows (you might not have discovered this), so clicking into the void activates the drag... maybe it could be a double click or something?

Maybe if you right click anywhere you exit without picking?

@JE-Amouel I can do what you want, actually, and support the drag functionality. So get ready to be happier :)

Really sorry for the time it took me to respond,

On this point I trust you, 💯

I already know that in your hands, the result will be dazzling.✨

@JE-Amouel check out this branch: https://github.com/dsheeler/CoverflowAltTab/tree/258-features-request-window-validation. As I understand it, it is what you want.

I knew you could do it, :100: I feel like I'm discovering the extension again, :star: and in addition, all the other integrated options work well, what a great job, :+1:

THANKS :pray:

@JE-Amouel if you haven't found any problems or bugs then I will merge this into the main branch. I haven't had any problems, myself.
