Be able to alt+tab top to bottom and bottom to top as closed loop #3557

If you are on the first window and you go back with shift, it should go to the bottom one.

If you are on the last window and you continue switching, it should go to the first.

This could be an extra setting.

Hi,

This behavior is already in place. I'm not sure I understand your proposal. Do you mean "while holding tab"? Today the selection stops when it reaches one end. Then you can release tab and hold it again (without releasing alt), and it will go to the other end and cycle again.

Could you please clarify in details what you have in mind? A video may help as well.

Thank you 🙇

Yes, "while holding tab" was what I meant, I didn't know that releasing it and doing it again worked like that, I would have expected to just cycle.

But also, the other way around, doing shift+tab to go backwards I would like it to cycle from the bottom, also without releasing if at all possible.

Thank you, I understand.

AltTab imitate the standard macOS behavior with list. We copied it specifically from the built-in switcher (using command+tab). We will keep that behavior, so the app can feel native to the mac.

Thank you 🙇
