8 years ago MRU as such would mean that you could switch between the top two mintties only.
Therefore I'll assume that you're actually looking for behaviour similar to
Alt+Tab, where pressing Tab repeatedly while holding down Alt will get you to
the windows lower down.
The reason I didn't implement it that way at the time is that I couldn't think
of a way to do it, given that each mintty just sees the global list of windows
and doesn't know how often Tab has been pressed already when it's activated.
Experimenting with this again now, however, I find that it is actually possible
to bring a window to the front without activating it, even though the
SetWindowPos documentation appears to suggest otherwise. That should mean that
the active mintty window can keep track of how often Tab has been pressed with
Ctrl down while bringing other mintties to the top and putting them back again.
Only when Ctrl is released, would the new top mintty window be activated.
If I can make this work, I'd simply replace the current behaviour rather than
add an option, because it makes sense for Ctrl+Tab behaviour to be consistent
with Alt+Tab.Original comment by andy.koppe on 23 Apr 2011 at 2:11
