3 weeks ago Thanks for writing in. I will not go for custom order, because it's extra work and complexity for something I believe you can already solve in other ways:
-
Use the popup panel; type just part of the name of your desired window to skip hunting through a long list.
-
Consider minimizing all windows you don't frequently need. This has the effect of 'pinning' non-minimized windows to the top of the list. Works best when you keep this group tiny. (I'll add this tip in Winger Help on the next update.)
I might however consider adding alphabetical order to help with window hunting.
I definitely plan to add a separator before minimized windows in the Send to Window submenu, to match the popup panel list and also highlight the usefulness of the minimized state for organising windows.
Greetings,
I've been loving winger for a while now and one thing I've noticed I was missing was the ability to set a custom order for the windows (both in the dropdown and contextual menus). This means anytime I interact with winger's UI I need to carefully read each entry instead of knowing in advance where each window is in the list.
Currently, there is a workaround, but it requires some effort: a window can be sent to end of the list by closing it (ctrl+w) then reopening it (ctrl+shift+n).
Ideally, this feature should also reorder the order of appearance of the windows in the taskbar, but I think that's outside of what can be done from an extension (if only because that's dependent on the desktop environment being used on the host machine).
